Indeed, very difficult to know where Elijah Hollands is at. There have been rumours, some ugly, but no real data to grab hold of. There also seem to be those who think he won't be back.
He is an exceptional talent and great to watch when he is in the groove. Hopefully he can overcome his demons have a great life. Would still love him back with us when ready. Fingers crossed for the young man.
I wish him well and pray that he can get himself sorted out. He will need the time and space, probably out of the limelight, to do that. I’m sure the club will support him appropriately in his endeavours.
Busted ass Gunston managed 7 goals agains Norf, our gun FF at the peak of his powers couldnt manage 1.
Your forgetting Toby Pink is a high quality opponent..er cough, clear throat...I think to be fair the delivery to Gunston would be of a higher quality that what Charlie gets each week. I think Chol is one of the leading F50 marks in the comp and Id put that down to high quality delivery rather than Mabior being a sensational FF.
Our F50 delivery has generally been substandard and inconsistent for many years. This has been discussed many times on here. We can win the ball but all too often cannot capitalise. We definitely need to fix this asap by upgrading our midfield with pace and accuracy.
And if you sack someone through impatience, you're more than likely to apply that impatience to his/her replacement.
Fortunately, we have a new CEO is known for consideration and due diligence. Fingers crossed that the mould of important decisions hastily made, are over.
Let’s hope so and he doesn’t get chewed up in the CFC meat grinder.
Haynes made his feelings known. Straight to the point.
Said, "if blokes don't want to perform. we have plenty of young guys coming through in the twos who will play the system we want". Telling it like it is and saying things our other leaders won't.
Jack ticks a lot of the boxes. The one concern I have is his durability Injuries have played a fair part in his career and he's struggled to get a full season in
see, you're an optimist just like this sucker little black duck.
Okay, let's get our recruiting team to locate some Catholic priests, Orthodox Greek, Russian and Jewish priests, hec, throw in a Sharman or two, coupla Buddhist monks... mmm, maybe not our recruiting team
We all get the s h i t s and get disillusioned from time to time, but in the long term being optimistic and hopeful is the only way IMO.
I think that we are all on here posting away betrays us as incorrigible optimists. Pessimists would long since have slashed their wrists.
Does that include his time at Brisbane. I'd think his Carlton record is much better than that. (Edit- Thanks Kruds)
He's the best coach we have had in a very long time. The smart arses here will say that's not hard but give him better players and watch the change.
Our club is a coach killer. We need to analyse the cause of this and address it before we look at getting any more lambs in for the slaughter. I’m sick of it and embarrassed.
Ok, this has been an unmitigated failure thus far.
I think you have to wipe out the scoreboard from the first half. Forget it happened, wipe it out.
Second half is redemption time. Forget winning the game, focus on the second half and win that. We'll see what the margin looks like at the end, but its imperative we win the next half and quarter.
Thry these guys are incapable of digging themselves out of a hole like this. They have dug it, climbed in and back filled it with double the amount of dirt they took out. This team is mentally broken.
