You are correctMaybe I was dreaming, but I could have sworn Yze alluded to this in his presser in Brisbane.... Players seeking clarity on game plan?

Staving off cremation.the problem with the 11 flag players is half of them are cooked fried or roasted
It started in 2021. Never got addressed in the same way that premiership players were never dropped for continued poor form. Blind faith to the extreme. That and our appalling fitness regime and list management has led us to where we are now.That’s what we lost. I put it down to lack of hunger and unfortunately it never felt like it was addressed.
Well said. I have mentioned it a number of times alot of the problems were seeing now started a long time ago before Yze took over. That's why I'm looking who's running the footy department Livingstone and Hartley because this wasn't happening under Balmes watch. Beef up the footy department and get the best around Yze. We lost Leppa and MaCrae and we replaced them with 2 rejects the same with the appointment of fitness and conditioning another short cut .It started in 2021.

why is Livingstone in the coach's box? how much influence does he have over Yze and team selection
Well, what do you think he's at a wedding?I know it's easy to whack Yze for everything at the moment but this is wrong. You can't expect him to walk around all week like he's at a funeral.
Yep. That along with the fitness people and the assistant coaches. Surely the club has enough money to go out and recruit the best people for these areas. One word that keeps coming up again and again when I think of what's happened and keeps happening since our last flag: hubris.That's why I'm looking who's running the footy department Livingstone and Hartley because this wasn't happening under Balmes watch.
Of course he has an influence. On team selection and list management. Both have been disastrous since before Yze took over. Time for a clear out and let Yze pick his own assistants.I heard he is the conduit from the box to the bench. Previously he was on the ground taking those calls. Lonergan does that now. Nothing to see.
Influence over Yze, team selection?
Get real.
We all know our problems and by the looks of it, not the only ones. Hocking has destroyed the game single-handedly. We are talking about a coach? This is how you find out what they have not when A team is flying. With all our problems and all the younger players trying to learn defensive game is the key. Having Balta up forward when the team is getting reamed and you kick 3 goals what is the point? It actually kills the kids spirit the older ones give up and you end up as we are. Make no mistake he is showing signs like he doesn't have a clue.So we have a game plan which is built on having a strong contest inside F50 where we either mark it or bring the ball to ground to force the stoppage and look to score from that. In the midfield, our plan is to be strong at the stoppages and defensively sound so that it's difficult for the opposition to get easy entries into their F50. Across the ground we want to be high pressure and defensively strong as a unit.
At the moment though our best KPF is injured, our second best option is coming back from a month out of the game and is actually still learning to be a KPF himself and our 2nd KPF is a bloke who has played half a dozen games at the level and is even rawer than Balta.
Add to that our 4 of our best 5 midfielders that can play the structure & game plan Yze wants to play with in the midfield are currently sitting in the stands with Lynch and the other has managed to get through 2 games after missing 6 weeks with injury himself and is closer to the end of his career than the peak.
Finally our team defensive structure is being executed by what is practically a side that you'd see running around in a scratch match in January when they play the Possibles v Probables games.
Is it any wonder nothing is working in field the way Yze envisioned it working way back in late October/early November when pre-season training began?
The benefits we're gaining from going through all of this now will take time to come to the fore, but I believe there will be a quicker turnaround than a lot of experts and some posters suggest. We may only win another 2-4 games for the season and to be honest I'm fine with that if it's coming off the back of the continued development of the younger players.
cooked because of constant injuries, the guy can playFew are cooked , but effort is easy , pressure and execution of the footy no exuse for that. Funny you say that Prestia has been one of our best last 2 weeks and people said he was cooked the most says something about the rest.
He's at a game of footy, catching up with people. He should be able to have a chat and a laugh, it's not like being serious is going to somehow change the situation.Well, what do you think he's at a wedding?
The point is he has a long term vision for how he wants the team to play and chopping and charging things around just creates more confusion among the players. The more the players are given consistency in their roles the easier it becomes to execute those roles when he has his full team available.We all know our problems and by the looks of it, not the only ones.

Poor guy isn't allowed to laugh!Funny thing is Yze is actually generally incredibly serious looking. Dunno why people think him laughing once or twice is a cause for concern.
I don’t think that would be an issue. I am confident he understands the situation we are in with our injuries.Poor guy isn't allowed to laugh!
Anyway, his mental health is also important. Hope the club is supporting him
He'll be playing for 2 more yearsGet scott Pendlebury as an asst, start talking
less shots at goal than ross lyons st kilda (euroe-yroke), not good
What part of it's not a good look don't you get? I'm all for people laughing but if you are in charge of something and things are going pear-shaped you don't do it in public knowing cameras are around you.He's at a game of footy, catching up with people.

In charge of a side with a shit load of injuries. Only so much Adem or any coach could do it this situation.What part of it's not a good look don't you get?

Yeah, correct Let's laugh it off.In charge of a side with a s**t load of injuries. Only so much Adem or any coach could do it this situation.
