Its funny, this mirrors a lot of peoples thoughts in regards to our coach.

This guy is 'no good', so anyone else MUST be better.
Be careful what you with for.

It would bloody hard to get the state worse then it is now so well worth the risk to give another oarty a go.  If you dont replace the current party as your concerned you may get worse well using that mentality you wont be getting out your bed in the motning for fear of what may happen if you leave the house.

spin this ine anyway you want they need to go.

same as our coach!!

I'm sensing there are a lot more correlations than you would immediately think between the 2.

I haven't voiced my concern either way on the matter.

Just noting biases and expectations align pretty well.

All comes down to the 'can't be any worse' line of thinking. Which, personally i think is very much the wrong way of thinking.

As an aside the 'can't be any worse' when talking about our coach/club is laughable....considering we are NOT bottom of the ladder....so clearly CAN get worse.
Government is less clear cut, but very much similar. There can ALWAYS be worse.

I don't think anyone can predict our number of wins from here.
A lot depends on how we approach the games.
Do we want to go all out to try and win as many as possible, which in some respects would be counterproductive.
or
Do we want to spend the rest of the year evaluating the list, trying players in different positions and getting games into youngsters.
It may be a combination of both.

Jim can.
He has it all worked out.
It simples.
Only reason we won was because Voss wasn't coaching.
He's said it all year.

So i'm trying to see if these mighty powers of him work with foresight, or is it just hindsight.

Bottom line Lods is we always want to win, as long as evaluating the list is done on merit I’ll be happy.

A bit naive believing the other mob are going to be better....none of them deserve to be voted in.

In 40 minutes, we scored 1 goal, opposition scored 3.3. Thankfully not kicking straight.

That was 1/3rd of the total game time.
Why were we so poor? What was our pressure rating then?

Can't blame Voss for that one.

Or doesn't it count this week??

If we played Sydney or Brisbane instead of an injury riddled out of form doggies, it would've been a lot worse.
Dogs last 5 games have included....
2x  10 goal losses
1x 12 point loss to freo (was 14 points for us)
1x2 point win against Port.
and a loss to us.

But it has nothing to do with their 'lack of' form, its all got to do with our interim coach.
Give it away. I see through your spin.  Spin...spin...spin!!! You use that alot.

We played 4 qtrs for the first time in ages and kept up the pressure, eventually finishing on. Knowing when to play tempo footy as seen with 124 marks, rather than play on and boot it to a contest meant we didn't die on out butt and had plenty left. Better than winning well then collapsing on a weekly basis. Clutching at 3 goals in a row to say otherwise...hahaha. That happens every week to a number of sides. We were never more than 11pts behind. We do 5+ goals on a weekly basis. We took on a decent side and beat them, remembering we were 3rd last because of your favourite coach. You mightn't like the answer but bad luck. Try your spin on others.

I like how you can't answer any question directed to you.

Your default answer is 'spin' 'clutching at straws', 1-8, 12-40.
You offer now analysis. No independent thought. Its all 'fake news' trump style misdirection.

Both myself and MBB have asked you repeatedly (and Shawny who is in the same boat) what we should expect this year now we've sacked the coach. How many wins we should get. etc. You say nothing.

If you wanna debate the merits of something, actually bring something to the table.

Might have worked a bit harder in that first half rather than pressure rating of 140 to 150.
