Not necessarily.

Its more...."Go back to the 2's and focus on this. You will be judged on how well you do this. "


Possibly, but Murphy has played a different role in the reserves; one that suits his skillset and one that he is used to.

Teague's early success is not hard to figure out. We should all be pretty worried about what's happened since then. His record in 2019 won't save his ar$e. As far as the club is concerned, it's ancient history.

Last year just a couple of choked last qtrs late in the season against the Pies and Giants likely cost a finals spot. It was still the best season we had since 2013. This year has dropped although we have been scoreboard competitive in every single game. Not acceptable given the poor attitude we have approached those games but it is still light years better than 4 wins from 43 games. Not to mention the embarrassment of those defeats. Who can every forget being outscored 7 goals to 1 in a qtr by a side that had 16 men.

Issue now is to sort the culture and every that goes with that.

They were discussing Carlton sounding out assistant coaches prior to the review on Footy classified the other night.
As the discussion finished Eddie added this little bit…

Eddie: ….But the other part of it is this…If Luke Sayers is running this, he’s no fool, he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s not telling anybody, but he knows exactly what’s going on, he may well be a committee of one... lining things up to be executed.

Caro: But why bring in all these experts to have a review?

Eddie: To shut the media up. ;)  ;D

Murphy has 5 games to go to get to his 300?...then he wont be part of the team anymore so bothering about what role he is doing is of no importance. The sooner he is sorted the better...

Forget about Murphy.  The question is whether our players understand their roles.  Several posters have remarked on how our players seem confused.  If a bloke who is approaching his 300th game has to have his role clarified by the reserves coach (who seems to know what he is doing), is there a communication problem that is hampering our ability to execute the gameplan?

...and maybe that is the role they want him to play in the 1's from here. Heaven forbid, play a player to their strengths?!

Jones, Weitering, Walsh dont seem confused.....think we are confusing laziness with confusion.
The coach deserves better than what the players are delivering in terms of workrate, every week you look at analysis from different experts and its a lot of the same players just not working hard enough and letting down the team.

How we have players that aren't confused is a mini miracle.

Murphys on his 6th Senior afl coach.

He's also been relegated to roles he's never played before because he was straight into the number one mid role.

Typo, was meant to say 40+.
All the data I've looked at has been comparing 40 games.
A likely story ;)
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I actually think it is quite unfair to compare BB and The TT. Each had very different briefs. One was to rebuild and teach the fundamentals, the other to play finals.
Agree, but ones brief changed mid shag.

Ross Lyon intimated 4 weeks ago......

Ross Lyon says a lot of things. I have zip confidence that any more than 7/8 of 4.2% is accurate. The rest, twaddle 😎

The whole team is confused EB. 

I don’t accept that our list is rubbish or that there’s a cultural problem.  We’re not challenging for the eight because our selectors are influenced more by what’s good for boosting membership numbers and protecting reputations than winning games.  How else does Jack Martin get games?

The coach needs to lift his game at pressers, admit that his gameplan isn’t working, tweak it where possible, and insist that team selection is based on merit.

The coach deserves nothing more than what he and his assistants put into the team and I think that Teague has a way to go before he can expect his team to match it with the better sides.

Take last week’s game; our best player was subjected to a hard tag and had no influence at all until he was moved to the wing for the last quarter.  It’s not the players’ fault that the coaches haven’t anticipated the hard tag and come up with tactics to defeat it.

The coach gets what he deserves and he needs to lift his game.
