Obviously we would have beat the Lions had Voss not coached that game.
Might have worked a bit harder in that first half rather than pressure rating of 140 to 150.

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.

The policy is a wank, but you should blame the Hon Jeff Kennett, who introduced the policy in 1999, thinking he was a shoo-in for a 3rd term and an ugly statue.

I would be curious to know how many taxpayers there are in Victoria, and what the actual cost would be to each of them. Bugger all I suspect. If nothing else, Andrews certainly deserves credit for being able to live rent free in his enemies' heads.

Also a good point prof.


Let's face it, they're all self serving.  We simply end up with politicians whos only motivation is to get elected, and once elected stay elected.

As a consequence they dont make changes that hurt their support base (financial or other) and generally work against the party in power more than for the public and end up implementing changes that are designed purely around winning votes and maintaining the status quo.

Weve had the weakest leaderships at government level since Howard finished up.  Everyone else has been more of a morale victor than anything else.
