    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.

    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.

              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.

                  Really missed JJ tonight whether he played forward or back, particularly his ability to carry and deliver the ball before opposition defences can get organised. Without him we are too predictable and find it difficult to get separation.
                  I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                    I can remember commenting on this very issue here on WOOF in our 08-10 PF run... And it's still bloody there.

                      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'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.

                          We go either two ways from here; we back our plan and assume Stringer, Dickson, Wallis and perhaps most importantly Libba have it in them to put in the mother of all off-seasons that enables us to regain our current game plan's preeminence or we trade to forge a new identity. I truly don't know

                            This list needs tweaking....not an irrational overhaul. Getting a decent run with injuries wouldn't hurt either. Some blokes need to get in the gym (Young, Cordy, Williams, English) and some need to be banned from the gym (Adams, Collins).

                              That's the way I see it. There is still plenty to get excited about but some hard assessments and decisions need to be made
