Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane

Do you really think young blokes can improve uncontested disposal efficiency and decision making in just a week?

Yes, because they'll actually put in alot more effort to do it correctly and focus alot more like in the Dogs and the first half of the Hawks game.

So Fagan has no motivation to put the club that rubbished his mate to the sword, this could get ugly!

Teague sacked next Monday?

Someone in the media over the last few weeks described our club as chooklotto, hurts today! ;D

Nth are carp but looked like supermen vs the Tigers......Lions are a young team who are probably a bit further up the ladder than they should be IMO.

Norp players are Hulks compared to our kids, as are the Lions!

I'm hoping but certainly not expecting for our kids to go out there and use their emotion and motivation to physically dominate them!

Normally you'd expect a bounce when a caretaker is appointed.

We may get that....but a more likely result is more of the same.
They're not going to improve skills and decision making  in a week.
Attitude and effort , maybe.
Will it be enough?

Is that really what you want?

Nothing to do with what I want, it's what I think will happen. Super coach Fagan, Hodge............

When we have put the real effort in, like 6 qtrs against the Dogs and Hawks, the skills were suddenly alot better. With effort and proper focus suddenly those things improve. There's more space ahead of you with decent, quick ball movement so hitting targets is much easier. We showed we can do it when we switch on properly.

Well, what do you want? And, no, you can't have BB back. What would you want to see from here on?

Sigh. Nice to know that the last 5000 times I've addressed this has been duly noted.

I want us to be a professional football club. Nothing more, nothing less. I want us to be the Pies, Cats, Tigers, Hawks. Not knee jerk, not 80's style mid season sackings, not BS press conferences, not kowtow to power brokers. I want stability. I want everyone at the club backing each other in, on and off the field. I want a much more holistic understanding of process, history and context. I could go on, but seriously, why bother ?
