It's not going to fix anything, the current generation doesn't want to wait for anything, they hurt their own prospects by too many expecting fully furnished designer styling from day one.

In our first homes, pretty much everything came from the secondhand shop, and in modern times "secondhand shops" won't even accept the stuff we were buying back then, they want labels and collectables.

Even shops like The Salvos and Savers are full of designer labels cheap, because that is the only stuff modern kids will buy.

btw., I have to correct a misnomer here, people(knuckleheads) think The Salvos and Savers are for "poor people to shop at", that's completely wrong! The people those charity shops raise money for are living in cardboard boxes and under bridges and don't shop at The Salvos or Savers, they eat out of bins. The Salvos and Savers outlets need you to shop for recycled or secondhand goods in store so they can raise cash to fund the purchase of stuff they really need, medical supplies, food, accommodation, etc., etc... If you want some old clothes to wear gardening, concreting, fishing, painting, pretty much anything, or if you'd like a kettle for the shed, a jobsite microwave, or a spare corded power tool for when the battery dies, shop at The Salvos or Savers, don't shop secondhand at joints like Cash Converters.

Thought Matt Carroll played really well,
Love that he is backing himself in and taking it on and what a kick he has on him! Hopefully he continues on with it.


I agree that Carroll is going from strength to strength and seems to be well suited on the wing but he has a built in problem with his kicking.

I know that a lot of left-footers have developed a lethal left foot kick by swinging the leg across the body to get penetration and accuracy.  Unfortunately, a significant number of Carroll's kicks are clangers when he is under pressure because when he is off balance he tends to drop his hip in the kicking action. Someone on the coaching staff needs to address this issue because he can really make this a reliable strength (and improve his goal kicking).

What would Harry be worth at the moment on the trade table?
He had his issues last year and is not really imposing himself at the moment.

There would be some interest...but I'm not sure it would be what we think he's worth and well short of his Coleman year.
Averaged 1.8 goals a game last year
Averaging 1.3 goals a game this year

Marquee player for tassie.
They have an abunfance of early picks they need to trade and cap space they need to fill.
Having a coleman medalist in their team would be good for young players coming through.

Win win.

Thirty when they enter the competition.
He'll probably need to show that Coleman form isn't a fleeting memory.

the buck stops with Voss. he is the senior and should have picked this up

and in regards to our past as a guide it has zero relevance to the whether Voss can coach and he cant so should be changed.

it doesnt end there after voss is replaced the whole coaching group needs rejiggijg as a min.

hopefully with new coaching group we will see the true development of players like jagga dean walker (finger crossed). staying with the current set up will yield the same underperforming team year after year after year.

 

The coaching group were replenished 6 months ago but you keep on burning the witches 👍🏼
I knew we forgot something and now there's a fuel crisis, we cant do anything right..🤦‍♂️..

Is "an" Amartey a priority? I think we need to build a decent, modern midfield. Pacey and good ball users who can provide quality delivery it into the forward line. Any half decent fwd can kick goals when its to delivered to the right places. Fix that first then the appeal will be there for a decent fwd to come to us, just like Charlie frothed up at getting supply from Heeney, Warner, McKinerny, Blakey, Goulden etc.
the whole team is a priority.  Mcgovern aint get younger, neither is Harry, and kemp isnt going to cut it.
Agree about the whole team priority, there is always an order. No point having Dunstall in the fwd 50 if you get it to him  properly.

pay the man, and he'll come.

Whats your proposed fix? Drafting kids and hope a club that cant develop talent due to multi layered disfunction manages to turn the tide?

Im over the draft.  Weve drafted more first rounders for than most clubs over the last 20 years and its gotten us nowhere.
