Game Day Around The Grounds Rnds 6 - 10

[lily of laguna]

Poor fish, destined to lose more games and never see a final.

I hope he has fun in and around the club cos it can't be much fun getting belted out on the ground week after week.

I'm assuming I haven't missed much by not watching the Hawks v Roos game

I don't agree.

Any plan is better than no plan, and what sets a good or workable plan apart from others is implementation and flexibility. Now, you might say that Freo are completely inflexible, but that's not looking at the layers involved; when they're playing badly and have lost players they cannot cover to injury, of course they look inflexible.

When they're playing well, they can change tack on a dime. You want contested ball? They can outperform us - ******* US - for 3 and a half terms. You want to blitz opposition? Have a look at Freo vs Melbourne at the G early last year; blew them off the park in the third term to the tune of 8 goals in a term without compromising structure. You want dour defense? There isn't a dourer setup in the AFL.

The key there is that Longmuir doesn't give his players as much licence as other coaches. He makes his plan A for opposition X, and it either works or it doesn't. I'd argue that his plans work more often than not, and he's hampered by available cattle in a different way to most sides; where most are hampered by injuries, he's hampered by a talent drain, in which he loses annually 1-2 best 22 footballers to other clubs.

He has to create and cultivate a method that works under those conditions. Dunno if there's a coach in the comp that could do that sustainably.

Yes, they were more attacking last year. We haven't seen it 6 games in this year. I know they can change it up, but they haven't. It seems to be there go to this year.

If he's worried about the player drain, let them play football. It's a discliplined exhausting style and as a fan, I'd hate it if Carlton couldn't score.

Always liked Fish but can’t help but think he’s going to finish his career in a Bottom side with not many wins.

The really sad part is that he is a cherry on the top type player who would be best off in a good team and really not much help in a poor rebuilding type team.

Zurharr more than likely to leave north as much as I can’t stand him might thrive in our forward line.

Too many weird scribbles on his limbs to get a gig with us. Would more likely fit in better at pies, sts or ninthmond.

They could have probs retaining players …

That look when your former club is doing decent things and you’re stuck playing for North Melbourne.

Does she still think it’s 2014?

It shows that our club has moved passed that “type” when you consider that Dow and Stocker ended up at St Kilda, Setterfield at *, SPS at the shit version of WCE, Fisher at Norf and O’Brien is out of the AFL system. Better clubs weren’t lining up to sign them.

Whenever there is an injury crisis, it’s “I wish we had [insert most of the above names] back.” Just consider that there is not a single player in our 23 that played on the weekend or out injured currently that our club would be replacing with any of the names above.

I'd dare think Dow and Fisher would've got a game over last few weeks Carroll.

Potentially. But at least Carroll is a future prospect and has scope for improvement. Fisher and Dow had spent years either stagnating or declining

I didn't miss anything. was watching F1 race instead

I read that as Cottrell at first and was just about to stick my hand through the computer screen and slap you silly.

Perhaps, you are right with that. But Carroll has shown a bit and he’s a few years younger. Dow and Fisher have never truly got passed the development stage and have just stood still. I don’t miss either.

 

[Stamos]

I'd suggest it was much more a Club List Management preference for Fish to go rather than him making the decision off his own bat,

How so.

Pretty sure he wasn't offered a contract extension.

He was contracted.
I think we wanted the pick, and the money off the books.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Had another 2 years left from memory

I don't want him. He's lazy.
