Ladies Lounge / Re: Jess dal Pos New Coach
Quote from: crashlander – on
I have no idea if she has any coaching capability or not. But I'm hoping those who employed her do have some idea.
To me this doesn't matter, and it's not really a criticism of Jess dal Pos, but to me the thing we need now more than anything are AFL experienced assistants who have top coaching ability, not a great coach with nil AFL experience.

Who pulled the MC strings this week, we put Wilson and Young to the sword having them debut in a half-ar5ed squad that left them high a dry!

Yep agree. The only thing is as they are playing for a premiership they only need the 4 points so may not be interested in killing us and once the game is banked like at QT they may conserve themself.
Teams with that mentality do not win flags, it's a sign of arrogance, it's the coaches job to drum it out of them and they would love nothing more than to pile on the pain.

Many believe Australia has even larger reserves.

Even though finals may still be a statistical possibility it's a fantasy, and would have a nightmare end should we make it.
Time to play the list...Lemmey's, Camporeales, O'Farrell, give Wilson and Young a few more games.
Not all at once, but over the period.
It's no good forcing that sort of change on the senior team selection, then claiming results like tonight are the coaches fault.

The hard reality is, most of those names will struggle to play out a single full game let alone two or three in a row, and they'll have little to no AFL impact. I'm not even sure Lemmey could survive a quarter.

To top it off, I think our new fitness guru is dead-set rubbish, this is the slowest and most physically piss weak we've look for a decade.

I'm sorry, I'm all for the girls having an footy competition, but dal Pos as a senior mens Development coach, is someone taking the piss or is the club dead broke?

Apparently Jeff Bezos is being cancelled for spending his money, the world has gone mad, much better for billionaires to hoard it!

Does anyone else ponder how people living in Spain and the Greek Isles will make a living after they kybosh all the wealthy tourists, I mean they have already black banned immigrants, so where do they actually think some income will come from?

To all the Konstas boosters, he still hasn't fixed his technical issue against the off cutter.  Not good enough.

Greens issue - just not good enough, full stop.
I've never really understood the hype surrounding some players, I don't see it much like I never got the hype surrounding Marsh. I suspect some of them have a CA angel boosting their stock.

In the past we've had quite a few who played a chaotic style like Konstas, Maxwell being the most obvious and he was kyboshed, what the difference between Maxwell and Konstas? Blokes like Maxwell, Walters before him, use to be the razzle dazzle in a rock solid list, now the squad is overloaded with pinch hitters and on a bad day they all strike out! It reminds me of that Billy Joel song, "Goodnight Saigon, We said we'd all go down together!"

Control and consistency have made way for peak performance. It seems the 1 in 3 or 4 good games when a player dominates is now enough to plaster over the in-between rubbish.
