He has a face that you want to punch.

I'm not feeling that :D  :D
reminds me of Toby Greene and jack ginivan Connor macdonald from hawthorn and James Sicily too.  Jamie Elliott.  I dont know how to explain it, they just look like smart asses.

Theres a common theme there.

It's amazing how quickly fans forget.

It was about this time last year when his EH started going through all the turmoil that OH was basically only one of a handful actually having a crack. When he probably had every right to be distracted, I think he comfortably finished in the team's top 10 leaving some others to look more like passengers.

I like Lord as well, I don't get some of the negativity towards him, but in comparison OH is a step up on Lord and comfortably so.

Neither have even reached 3 full seasons yet, which most coaches imply is the true start of a career.

Saw a snippet of a video from the Australian dressing rooms during a World Cup. Warner was saying how he was scared to go for his shots for fear of getting put. Punter immediately jumped in and said how you need to go for your shots without any any fear of getting out from a mistake, back in your skills and training. He said the minute you think like that (scare) you're gone and it gets worse. He went on to talk about how they didnt have the World Cup so there was nothing to lose.
Point is, our blokes must have that same mentality, take it on, dont be scared to make mistakes, stay positive and back yourself in.
I thought it was a brilliant clip of Ponting, what a leader.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Need some fans to comprehend this mindset because as much as the players understand it the fans pile on the pressure
Let’s go BIG !

We are the Vo Rogue of footy, except Vo Rogue won ~30% of his races.

I think someone else has mentioned it - trying to win a marathon in the first 100 metres.  Time to try something different.

As far as I can tell, this isn't a fitness of coaching problem, it's headspace issue.
