I'm prepared to offer up my left nut...
For a goal kicking coach, forward coach or skills coach who can get us kicking easy goals.

Re: I'm prepared to offer up my left nut...
Believe it or not its pretty simple to fix. Give me a player for 10 minutes and I will improve his kicking. If I can't do it then I will shut up forever about it but the frustrating thing is its really easy to fix.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Sell it to Lance Armstrong and get Sav Rocca or similar to join you on staff.

I'd love to know how much train inning we do. Is it a once a week thing, or every day/session.

The last time I watched them practice they were having shots from different parts of the fifty. They were doing all the things wrong they normally do but nobody was standing on the mark so pretty much every shot sailed through.
It was very frustrating to watch.

Re: I'm prepared to offer up my left nut...
It's clearly our biggest deficiency. No other team has to work harder than us to score from our good work upfield.
Heresy I dare say, but is Stringer untouchable? Is Libba making himself an asset. Is Wally best 22?
How much can we reasonably expect of Bont without more middield class around him?

If AFL/GCS said they need a marque player to remain viable and wanted Stringer, I'd listen.
We've a glut of slow/mid paced mids. We should listen to any offers.
I'd hate to see us treat Bonts like Pavlich and shove him in every hole hoping the list around him would win a flag (it nearly did). But I take your point, we need class and speed badly. To get good talent, you usually have to give good talent other than FA.

I get the criticism of Stringer but in a team that has a lot of workmanlike players, I wouldn't like to discard someone who can do the mercurial. Reckon we need to trust that he will develop into the player we hope he will be.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

I'm just saying listen. To remain viable they will need a big name, a popular face, dazzling on field. If they settled on Stringer and wanted to overpay to keep their franchise on life support, I'd listen.

The mercurial is aptly named; it rarely happens.
Jake doesn't do the basics and has gone backwards for 24 months. I'm done hearing about how mecurial he is, or how much of a weapon he is. His output for a long extended period of time has not been up to standard, regardless of any physical attributes. His work rate is absolutely non-existent, he doesn't win his own ball and his goal kicking is putrid.

I'm not defending Stringer but you don't trade blokes like him out without being sure it is a fruitless cause. I think he has one or two years left on his contract so he has one or two years to prove he can address his shortcomings. I wouldn't be rushing to extend his contract but you don't give up on blokes with his talent prematurely. I don't want to give him an excuse but his private life has been a distraction all year and I'd like to see how he approaches his footy next year before writing him off. As I said previously, we need blokes who can do something inspiring.....it just needs to be on a consistent basis.....whilst also doing the basics well.

And when will this be as he has wasted 2 years and usually flashes in during the last quarter when game is over. He can do anything but rarely does!😒
