Tutts been Ok.
jones is here whether we like it or not.
BB showed some good form in the VFL.
Anyway, just think people are being unrealistic with the how many personnel changes are possible given the state of the list and injuries.
Who would have thought 6 weeks ago we'd be getting games into Walsh, Fields, Holman, graham (if he wasn't injured) .
I'm pretty happy with what's going on.
Me too!
I'm just not 100% convinced about some of the marginal selection decisions.

I don't rate your ability to judge a coach either just quietly.
Nothing quiet about it, you shout it loudly every chance you get... still haven't gotten over the Ratts criticisms eh? There is very effective therapy for the harbouring such bitterness... not good for the soul you know  :-*
It wasn't a judgement of the coach, it was a call re him not being aware of what the website was arguing re a case for Jaksch. And that Jaksch wasn't going to get a look in this week as his form wasn't quite there. Didn't watch the segment?

It was barely a blip but somehow it's the return of Lord Maltymort! ;D

Be careful what you wish for.
Man you are a shight talker extraordinaire at times. The highlight of our more attacking game plan when we beat Port and challenged other sides was our hard chasing and tackling, defence was far from secondary, but sometimes you just can't help yourself. That tackling intensity has dropped off from some players, Everitt being one of the major players to drop off with some insipid efforts in the last two weeks.
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

I'd be dropping Yazz before Everitt.
Agreed. Prior to the last couple of weeks he was one of the positives for the season.
Yarran has been average all year and has completely gone off the boil since Barker came in and dropped him.

It's true, Yarran too has lost the plot, poor management from Barker that seems to have backfired on him. Still, you simply cannot forgive ducking out of marking contests, especially from a bloke that is six foot plus. That is a complete no-no and has been for 150+ years. Barker is weak for keeping him (Everitt) in.
He is starting to lose me a little is Barker, just ever so slightly.

Tackle pressure seems to be the mantra of the game atm for sure. Ours seems to have eased of a bit in the last couple of games from what I have seen after a pretty keen start under JB.
Reality always wins in the end.

If the president exerts his influence we will have a different coach irrespective of the process.
More than the one agenda behind decision too.

...and that's exactly why (and that other thing) we got rid of Garlett. Serial head ducker. Worst part about that was, it only crept into his game later in his career. Was never there when he was a 60ish kg rookie! :o

He's been completely off the boil since the Chapman incident...that was pre Barker.
Whether that's because he felt a lack of support from some team-mates or not, who can say for sure.
But there may be some internal issues contributing to his attitude.
