Get this mob out of the Bars

Get this mob out of the Bars

I thought it must have been the grog that they have been so,bad for so long.

 

[all seeing eye]

Really a bunch of under 18s , and a sprinkling of experience versus big bodied experienced men, the SANFL is a higher std then most give it credit for, me included.

For some reason Carlton apparently restricted Andrew Russell's role. I'd say pry him back and give him the keys.

Or try steal Burgess, surely his failed overseas experiment is done.

I've seen some decent Port sides go to Unley and get their arses handed to them, once by 19 goals. This one flew out the door in a burst of 5 goals in the last. They hung in there for most of the match and with an actual coach might have pinched it.

Speaking of the coach,I’m sure he has a stylist fix his hair and makeup before he addresses the team! Swans onto the ground like he’s fukn Fabio. Get the **** out

For some perspective:

• Moss, Walsh, Marshall and Whitlock are holding down our KPP roles. All are young and inexperienced. Lachlan Burrows is older and has more games to his name that all four of them.
• you could pretty well go line by line through the list like this
• young sides struggle for consistency and fitness

What is disappointing is that guys like Jackson, Moore, etc didn’t step up when the going got tough. Atkins aside - he was actually very good.

As to the captain - the guy dominating for the other side would be perfect I would have thought. Will Snelling - tough ball winner that is uber fit, played AFL footy and gets the most out of himself.

A concern from today’s game was the ability for our tall backs to properly learn tbe game and get up to speed. Moss looks athletic and like a competitor but just don’t think the SANFL is going to help him develop like we need. Same for our small forwards. The pace of game is so different that our crumbers would be a yard behind if they were successful at SANFL when they stepped up to AFL. As it is it seemed like they were a yard too quick.

Hate to lose but plenty of positives - especially Cochrane, Whitlock and Lai.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Our fitness standards have dropped of dramatically, half the squad are incapable of running out games.

The standard had a huge lull post covid, but has risen sharply in the last few years.

 

[Scodges]

No way is an SANFL squad fitter than an AFL squad NO WAY but we are mentally as weak as piss and are happy to compete. When the game is on the line (in both comps) we fold simple as that.

Not if our fitness guy sucks, and this very much seems the case. Not only do we need to be fitter, but also stronger. And that should be the fitness guy’s department.

I was impressed with Benny Barrett at Mt Barker in pre-season but haven't seen him close to that form in the SANFL. Does he need to get more mid minutes?

Had no absolutely no business getting the job, and it’s gone pretty much as most of us predicted. Four wins from 20 outings is abysmal.

The guy’s a glorified hanger-on, still mates socially with most of the players. Imagine looking to him for some sort of inspiration or leadership. Pathetic. A disappointment as a player and his coaching going similarly.

 

[Bump Bailey]

Did she steal it out of Hammer’s top drawer?

Fitness wise I'm just hoping there was a big emphasis on long distance running, as opposed to Fartlek based methods, and that match fitness and strength will build with games rather them being cherry ripe in April.

I thought we got him for a small forward role, where’s he actually playing ?

Are those teal bars to wedge Collingwood?

Also noting that the Maggies now have a bye (due to gather round).

Its a boys club, job for the boys nothing about getting the best man for the job.
These morons at the top have gutted this club!

For all the talk of things to fix like players, fitness etc.
replacing the sanfl coach is top of my list.
