We are in deep s anyway. The new coach trying under old coaches' favs and doing the exact same things. We may know if he can coach in 5 years time when most of it will be his team but will he get the luxury as Dimma did?
He won’t last that long. Newman will replace him within two years.
Coaches are panicking already
Sure they are but unfortunately you take a punt on these mid rage forwards from other clubs, they'll either turn out to be like Fraser Gehrig aka G train an absolute star like St. Kilda got or a potato like Kent Kingsley we've had before and looks like we have another one again at this stage in Kozi.
Could be one of those things where he isn't "dropped" internally, they've discussed a structural change this week or they've said gameplan wise we need you to work on these specific things and you'll be back in 2 weeks or something similar.
I guess they had a look at Ryan, Naism in the ruck in preseason games...
Give the guy a chance to make the list his.
It’s a succession plan until all old guys leave. It was preordained to happen and in scripture. Yze is the Antichrist and Newman is the second coming and Saviour of the RFC
And you know people inside the club. Sure your view that’s about it.It’s a succession plan until all old guys leave. It was preordained to happen and in scripture. Yze is the Antichrist and Newman is the second coming and Saviour of the RFC
Have faith my friend and stay calm in these days of darkness. The great profit _RT_ has even started a thread indicating mass atrocities and people eating their own. Newman will be our saviour.
You’re right in that it’s all about competing for Kozi but the problem is and many of you here are probably not aware when we were missing Mitch Lewis last year for the first seven rounds that’s all we needed him to do, to present and compete and he was so poor at that this that we dropped him to Box Hill, leaving us with Fergus Greene and Luke Bruest as our two key focal points up forward who are both sub 190 cm. The writing was on the wall for him at this point.
Mitch Lewis, give me a break. Just a player
Does Mitch Lewis compete? He sure as hell does.
I don't mind Mansell back in, but maybe he can go up the wing and replace MacIntosh. He is faster, tougher and more physical, a better kick and a good runner.
Which is why I reckon he’s been dropped back to VFL. Get used to the game style and get some confidence in his marking.
Lol, those attributes you say he’s better than Kmac? You’re kidding, possibly a better kick but that’d be it imo.
And we can't say the true Hawk's supporters didn't warn us
They did indeed, he looks like tarzan but plays like jane unfortunately.
Mansell is very quick, and very hard at the ball. When he was playing at half back he was pretty ferocious. Kmac has decent pace, can run all day, and has decent hardness, but rarely cracks in gets the ground ball. I think Mansell has plenty of attributes to be a good wingman, and not many as a small forward. Happy to see him play up the ground ala Graham's role if he plays forward.
God, I hope not because Newman was in control of our Midfield, and we got humiliated against the suns.
He has no control over those guys as they're the cards he picked up off the ground. They can't play 3 tractors in the guts at the one time.
