I was at the game it was a decent northerly. Most of those goals to the Northern (scoreboard) end seemed to need some local knowledge.
Agree he does fly for every mark!

Lots on the bench who deserve one more go, but hard to drop a number of these after just one game against the competition's benchmark team.... as I drop Schache after one game, but realistically he was poor and only filling in for Tim.
In: English, Young, Khamis, Butler, McNeil
Out: Schache, Cordy, Crozier, JJ, Scott
---------------------
B: Wood, Keath, Khamis
HB: Dale, Young, Daniel
C: Butler, Macrae, Smith
HF: Hunter, Naughton, Treloar
F: English, Bruce, McNeil
R: Martin, Bontempelli, Liberatore
Int: Duryea, Lipinski, West, Hannan
Emerg: VDM (Sub), Wallis, Garcia, JUH
I also like the look of that team Mantis.
I will never see #16 the same!!

That was Marra’s mark. When you’re 5 foot 8, you don’t jump for everything in sight, especially when your gun key forward has the open lane.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I don't think it's zero leeway.
I DO think it's zero leeway with regards whatever caused him to get dropped last year - people keep telling me it's competitiveness and defensive decision making so let's go with that...
I suspect skill errors etc don't phase the coaches too much but that he's on a short leash with regards 'other stuff'.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Considering he and Schache have similar temperaments and short leashes it may well be some non-negotiable stuff like competitiveness and not being lazy.

I agree, body language tells a lot to me. I don't know about the training stuff and what the coach expects, but when I look at for example, Bruce, he may not have all the skills, but he is always giving more than 100% in effort, and attack on the ball and looks dangerous.
I don't think you can teach this, it is just in your nature.

Young's effort to compete seems conditional. And I reckon that's one thing any coach hates...I'd say that could equally be applied to Schache as well, and goes along way probably to explaining why they've increasingly found it hard to get into the main team.
It's one thing to stuff up in execution, but another if you don't bring the required effort and desire to compete.

There's nothing that frustrates me more in a football player than one whose efforts are conditional.
Unfortunately you usually can't change this. Although one curious case would be Liam Jones. As a forward for us he would choose when and when not to chase. I don't watch enough Carlton games to know if he still is like this as a defender.

Spot on.
There are mistakes that fade with time (e.g. Garnder's composure, Smith getting caught with the ball in his first few games) and there are non-negotiables.

He looked really dangerous running under the balls on Friday night didn't he... almost like he was expecting body contact and was getting out of the way of it.
Bruce had the most suitable match-up of any of our forwards on Friday night and pretty much stunk... as the senior member of our tall forward group he needs to carry the load against the good teams and not just beat up on the shit teams.

But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
