If there was no or even little improvement to the horrible W/L, we would have heard ‘see its the weak horrible list and nothing to do with the coach’
Yet we change coaches to an untried interim coach and break a record in the process by winning 5 zip and ‘its on the back of Voss ground work’
You get much more credibility to just admit the change in coach has made a huge difference rather then doubling down with every win as with each win the evidence that Voss was not the right man is further enhanced.
Have you not heard Fraser, repeatedly, as well as Jagga, Crippa etc etc etc say the exact same thing. We are just working on the foundations that Voss built. We haven't changed much. The tide had turned under Voss already we just weren't getting the reward.
But sure, you know better than the 'genius coach' himself.
Not the best game of footy, but a wonderful effort and well done to all concerned.
Something that Fraser backed up, yet again, in the pre-match interview.
For the second week in a row we won without playing great. Both weeks we've played worse than we did against Brisbane, but the difference in opposition talent/performance made the difference.
Still need to work on our kicking, both inside 50 and at goal.
It will cost us a game, again, unless we clean that up. I thought from the 3rd to halfway through the 4th it was as bad as its been all year.
Just need to keep the pressure up and results will continue. Still got to target some decent tall forwards in the up coming trade and draft period. Kemp at 1.5 needs to get comfortable in front of goal. Harry is better off playing up the ground and being 2nd ruck. Gov is a good swingman but not a long term option.
Besides an underperforming HOK, we don't have any other options. Need to fill this hole this off-season as a priority.
Ison got tackled from behind attempting a kick, reckon it came off his knee, but was free against.
Not the worst decision.
Thing that i noticed from it was afterwards you could read his lips "Talk to me" which was fair enough. Teammates should've told him he was under pressure....didn't....cost us a shot on goal.
BTW, last quarter we went back to long bombs inside 50 and got picked off every time.
Lower the eyes. Work around the 50 until you find an option. Otherwise target the boundary inside 50 so we get a stoppage at least. No more long bombs though!
