Wouldn’t be shocked if we remain competitive this season, finish on 6-8 wins and we re-sign Voss for 12 months
I'm not sure we'll re-sign Voss but I suspect we'll significantly improve our win/loss ratio.
I listened to his presser and he correctly inferred we're improving our scoring balance instead of relying on clearance. It was the first game this year we've matched an opponent on scoring from turnover. The top 3 sides on scoring from turnover are Sydney, Freo and Hawthorn. They are also the top 3 sides on the ladder so it correlates with success in the current game.
The worst 4 sides on scoring from turnover are West Coast, Richmond, Essendon****, Carlton. The bottom 4 on the ladder.
When we were playing as a good side a couple of years back, we had a run where we were the best team in the AFL for scoring from turnover and it transferred to a solid run of wins. We have since attempted to address our offensive and defensive profiles which has seen us swing from one extreme to the other without finding the balance.
After a significant change to our list over the off season, I thought this was the first game where we found the balance for the majority of the game. We still had the usual 5 minute midfield lapse where the oppo put on 4 goals and blew out the score but I thought our balance over all 3 phases of the game were much better.
The challenge is to continue it. If we can, which we should, I'd expect us to be far more competitive and to win a decent share of games.
The other challenge for the coaches is to determine how much the improvised forward set up correlated with our scoring profile. Personally, I'd give Harry another week off and see how the mid size forward line performs again. Personally, I liked it and I believe it makes us far more difficult to play against. Will the coaches do it? No chance.
Well I was at the game and Freo were ordinary
We were extremely lucky to be so close at halftime courtesy of some very dubious umpiring decisions
Freo turned it over a lot with skill error
They lack killer instinct because they should have won by 10 goals
BV we were crap
Stop dressing it up
Voss has officially run out
Our answers
What is it
13 wins out of 38 or whatever
The same tired game plan
Needs to be sacked
It hasn’t worked and he has been given a good run
He is one mega loss away from it
Melbourne didn’t wait look at them
