Is Tudor the backline coach, the defensive coach (as opposed to offensive coach) or the midfield or forward line coach.
Have to say his acquisition has been severely underwhelming and some of the boys efforts have underlined his strength to pull a senior coaching gig IMO.

I thought the first 15 mins of 2nd Q was the most pressure we have defensively shown for a while. ..it probably won us the game. ..whether he claims that credit i don't know. ..

Sundays game was the first time this year I had seen something resembling a top 4 performance.
But the aberrations to Freo, Hawthorn, Adelaide, Gold Coast, the 3rd quarter against Collingwood and the 2nd quarter against Sydney- all defensively meaningless.
We have the worst defence of any top 8 team and this worries me going into finals.
Just wanted to know if Tudor had delivered and how our stats stack up against his previous roles.

Drummond is the defence coach. Tudor's listed as midfield.

Thanks LCynic
In hindsight considering our inability to apply defensive midfield pressure il throw up a guess that Tudors been directed to oversee the midfield unit to work on both sides of their game.

Bloody disgrace that anyone in power thought that this was a reasonable thing to do.

Get stuffed.
Haha, wow. I didn't realise it had already been cancelled. What an absolute cluster****, this is nothing short than a complete embarrassment for Abbott and his government. Sure, it was an absolutely disgraceful idea, but at least have the fortitude to stick to it.

Only way they could have done anything is via racial/ethnic profiling... oops.

Somebody probably realised that without probable cause or a warrant people could tell them to GAGF! May even be able to sue them.

Border Force (what a stupid ******* name) wanted to piggyback onto Vicpols power to randomly ask folk for ID as they can't do it themselves. Still, the only way to determine who to ask is to profile, which is just ****** up given the largest overstayers look like your average aussie joe given they are mostly Irish and English.

I shake my head at the stupidity. A bad idea gathers momentum with the right people and look what happens.
