Do yourself a favour and track down the podcast

He was on for 20 mins and soooooo impressive. A really good listen about his current situation with rehab and coaching, the state of the team and some stuff around tactics I had never heard before

Much better than the usual 3 min media cliche fest from most players

Mil, I assume you mean this one.

OK, so we are yet to work out what game plan best suits us balancing all out attack vs an ultra defensive mindset. We are working our way through this and trying to find a balance that works with this group, pretty difficult given the inconsistencies that come with such a young group. Will be a bumpy road which hopefully will yield a win in the short term otherwise it's gonna be a long year for all concerned.

That was a really good interview...I was a "Docherty for Captain" man already. That just confirmed it for me. The guys not only a 'football talent but a 'football brain' as well.

We'd have an on-field Captain-Coach

Not just the inconsistencies of youth either. It's also the inconsistency of personnel caused by injury.
It would be extremely hard to settle on a plan when your team looks different every week.
We criticise  the match committee /coaching group at times for persisting with certain players but it may be about creating some form of stability.

Well said. It was captivating listening, especially in terms of helping listeners to understand the game... and as far as the CFC goes, what our blokes are going through.

I was glad to hear Doc mentioning the chook running of youth which is the reality.

Not the common suggestion that so many draftees are unfit, but that the reality is they burn themselves out through worthless activities.

It may also explain why some draftees come in and average 20ods touches from game one but then fizzle out (Daniel rich, Rhys Palmer etc) - if their coaches are just saying - do what you did at tac level and just hunt the footy. Whereas it sounds like bolts has our kids trying to run the right “patterns” and ensure they are always in the right position for the team.  Less glamorous in the stat sheet, but hopefully will benefit them long term???

Doc is a gun and it's great to have 2 quality candidates.... but you'd have to be high to go past Cripps.

Just my opinion.

Maybe we have 3......
There's been much said about Weiters as future captain material.
Lots of it was on here in fact. Remember ?
