Literally the only good part of soccer is that I’m now aware there is a show starring JK Simmons as two versions of the same guy from alternate dimensions

I watched the soccer mostly. Was glad to see Hawthorn put on five goals during the HT break in Kazan though.

The earliest I can remember is about 2002 and thismust surely be the worst. I think a lot of it comes down to conditioning. A lot of guys are either playing injured or aren't match fit. They dont have the legs to chase and tackle, to spread when they've got the ball, or to execute skills when they have the ball. The solution to which is of course to fire Brett Burton into the sun.

that Saints comeback was something else. It's good to see them put the intensity and ball usage together, but also get the feeling "well why can't they do that for all four quarters of the game?" Ah well. I'll take the improvements as they come.

I'll take the improvements as they come. It was more a reflection on how bad the Suns are. Over the last 4 games the Suns have kicked a total of 2 points in the fourth quarter. That's not an exaggeration. The Saints had almost nothing to do with it, the Suns just completely disappear in last quarters. This is why the win means absolutely nothing beyond delaying the inevitable downfall of Richo's coaching career.

quote:Former St Kilda captain Danny Frawley has revealed a massive issue with the VFL Women’s competition that is causing friction between clubs. This, along with jobs for the girls to get them at clubs in the AFLW, need to be fixed. Pay the women 30k+ for the AFLW season, lengthen it, introduce a cap for the VFLW. I agree, it is good some are getting paid in the VFLW, but it is essentially player payments outside the aflw cap space.Of course, some VFLW teams dont' have an AFLW team yet, but yeah...

If he is gonna leave the Saints it absolutely wont be to a team doing as badly/worse then us. I wouldn't be surprised a mid tier team throwing money at him as I think he would play a lot better in a more competitive team.

When he hit a bloke you could be confident they weren’t staging, it bought a bit of honesty and respectability to a game otherwise overflowing with over paid actors.

Setterfield, Sloane, Cam Guthrie and Wines are/were the targets, not sure if Guthrie and Wines have re-signed yet do they might be off the table already.

spamman posted:I think you're right. Even under Ayres they weren't that bad. They were pretty good under Ayres, really. Just tended to fall over at the last minute a lot. Made the top 4 in 2002 and should have made it again in 2003 if they hadn't hosed up the last couple of rounds, from memory. The bigger problem from Ayres' time was that literally no new players came through under his watch from the national draft and stuck around other than Reilly and Johncock. And it's not like they were leaving to go to other clubs. They were just poo poo. Got a few rookie bargains (Rutten, Bock, Porplyzia, Mattner) but we burned national draft picks year after year under him. Last night's match was pretty depressing, got to say. I've never seen the Crows so completely incapable of generating anything. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jun 17, 2018 |

This is very similar to his recruiting at Geelong, top ups a plenty with no real eye for long term development. I think he could still be a great coach to bring into an established but underperforming list (after all he has been amazing at Port Melbourne), but he has no idea how to develop players. Jason Mooney, Simon Arnott, Scott Bamford, Paul Corrigan.......

Yeah. It's a minor miracle that we were so drat good in 05 and 06 because it sure as hell wasn't from the players recruited under Ayres' watch! I forgot Robert Shirley as well, I guess he was pretty good. After that we're talking the likes of Skipworth and Ladhams. It's a very sad list.

He's a good gameday coach, I was more talking about '04 in general (where you guys still beat us by 80 points in the actual worst performance by Hawthorn I've ever seen). But yeah. Last night there were lots of witches hats in the middle, no system of any kind with the ball.

VFL is on channel 7 and the middle of the ground is a good old fashioned mud pit.  E: It's also a Williamstown home game and they are getting horizontal rain and hail at the moment. Periphery fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jun 17, 2018 |
