3 things learned from Rd10 vs Adelaide 2023

G asks the players when he goes to training sessions. It’s the only real way to find out.

I wish there was some sort of WOOF repository we could lean on.

I thought you were the suppository of all information?

Happy to ask any of them tomorrow

1. We need a big win to gain some percentage and we just let an opportunity slip. We had Adelaide on the ropes and we were throwing feather dusters instead of a knock out blow

2. Bailey Smith looks better playing midfield rather than half forward

3. Oscar Baker looks like Phil Maylin!

I would have taken a 45 point win against a red hot Crows pre-game, especially seeing that we kept them to only 5 goals.
We will have 2 golden opportunities to boost our percentage against North and WCE (could be a 30 goal win if the team that showed up against Hawthorn plays us at Marvel) later this year.

I would expect that WCE will have players trying to impress a new coach for a 2024 and beyond contract.

We are not likely to have a team as soft as the one that fronted Hawthorn.

I hope we need a big boost to percentage by round 23 or Bevo may just be resting players.

Nope. Can’t be done. Technology just isn’t there yet.

(This is absolutely my favourite ongoing bit on WOOF, may it live forever)

We could get an excel spread sheet going.

1. Baz may look good on a billboard with his rig out but he looks 100x better w 34 touches. Getting 2021 Baz back is a game changer

2. % looks like it?ll be important and we missed a golden opp to win by 100 points

3. For the first time I can think of Bonts body language was off. He was clearly frustrated ojt there and to me looked sore

Bont couldn’t move laterally very well even before he had the little knee issue from what I could see. Potentially been carrying something for a few weeks.

If we continue to put in good defencive performances the % will correct itself. It's much easier to fix a bad % if you can keep the against column low and we're the 3rd lowest score against team now. Any wins we get will have a bigger impact on our %.

Feel like I just said the same thing 3 times but anyway...

Since the abomination of round 1 and 2 we are actually the lowest with only 511 points conceded in 8 rounds.

Well this is the thread for 3 things...

[Matjoh]

Ummm.

I guess we need to re-sign Williams.

Scott and Baker - who is chasing them? Scott is 28.
Khamis can't get a game. Who is chasing him??

Ummm,

I didn't say anyone was chasing them, I said we should sign them before vultures circle, its a hyperbole [because their contracts are due and they are playing good football in my opinion].
Over the years and recently we've had many players who can't get games as you say = young x 2, Lipinski hrovat stevens hayes greene, cordy, it goes on - can't say they were all "good" or all young but got games elsewhere.

[Grantysghost]

Khamis, time to move on. Love the story however not sure he's going to feature in our plans going forward.

Not sure anyone of those you mentioned have hurt us. We have gone the other way too often re-signing or having to long a contract for the likes Gowers, Lloyd, Porter, Wallis, Butler, Dickson, Suckling, Wood, martin, etc
