Ah. Behinds. I see. You guys kicked a few.
Traditionally it's us who kick too many behinds.
So who do we fire?
Coach or players?
We'll buy Tex Walker for a couple of 2nd rounders
Who?

Looks like Palachook won't let the Tigers into Qld. At least that's another loss averted.

Queensland have put in some pretty intense quarantine rules for Victorian sporting teams.
Going to throw a major spanner in the AFL works.
I reckon they'd be seriously considering packing the whole circus up and going to WA for a month or so.
But not without quarantining when they get to WA...

So, State of the Game comes up again. This time Clarko says it's shit (which i think is a sneaky way to get more free kicks for Hawthorn). Commentators are all in on it. And i have a lot of sympathy.
The biggest take from me is, the AFL need to stop asking coaches their opinions. Coaches want to win, they couldn't give a fuck about how it looks. Modern coaching is the bane of all football codes.
There is something pretty wrong with the game though. It started with Roosy at @Kiwiwomble 's mob. And it's been downhill ever since. Ross Lyon took up the mantle. And then Richmond. It's all risk free football and pressure.
I don't know how to change it, because coaches will just find a way to get control back no matter what.

I'm still learning so forgive my ignorance on Roosy, i can see why we currently avoid risks...they rarely pay off for us!

Basically Paul Roos when coaching the Swans flooded the backline and played defensively. It killed the spectacle.
Lyon took an attacking Saints side and turned them into a boring defensive side.

Rodney Eade was already playing that way with the Swans.

Roos was Eadeās assistant but when he got the head coach role he took that style even further. Eade had Lockett and so their style was far more attacking than Roos.

Sidebottom gets a four week ban for breaking COVID protocols, just listened to Eddie in the news
āHeās done nothing wrong and copped a ban for it, weāve all gone out and drank too much, drank until you didnāt know what your āre doingā...āitās only after becoming disorientated thatās heās broken the rulesā
āWeāre proud of himā
WTF? Iām going out on a limb and Saying going out and drinking so much you donāt know where you or what your doing is probably the thing he did wrong

Tony Lockett? Eade coached the Swans in the 2000s with no Lockett. Don't know what he was like prior with Lockett but those 2000s sides based around Adam Goodes and an Irishman weren't excitement machines.

Eddie is a giant fuckhead.

@shark nah he's right. Rocket started in the mid-90s
Part of the plan of the flood was to free up space for lockett.
