- Waite injury could be 3-4 weeks, needs an operation
- played a bit too safe, Dogs were more bold
- have to deal with injury, O'hAilpin won't play this week
- Kreuzer has his ups and downs, will work with him, works hard with Capuano
- (Walker only 6 goals against top 8 teams) has played roles against top teams so not too critical, but he and whole fwd line didn't apply enough pressure against Dogs
- need to get run into game, spread better, can't play safe against Pies, take game on
- said (our) Murphy was best on ground, we had more possessions, but they were better
- didn't have Judd in votes
- reckons Murph and Judd extremely close in B&F so far
- Robbo is fitter, playing better, probably expect too much from young kids
- (Duigan) haven't really looked at that type of senior player before, outside normal recruiting circles, might keep looking
- spent more time getting to know players, rehab, life outside of footy etc
- 2nd year of leading teams; group speaking more honestly all round
- (coaching pressure) think we can win every game, regret games that get away, but try to address really quick
- (Hampson, Krooz, Warnock) Hammer showed form, hs developed, 206 playing okay, let's see
- group has improved, Yaz, Robbo, Jamo, Hammer, Laidler been good, aim is to win a final

Not the best of notes, but tapped away as best I could. Missed the first few questions, but was mostly informal birthday stuff etc IIRC.

Geez Mikey asks some dumb questions. The point about thinking we can win every game came from a leading question about the Bulldog and Eagles games being ones that got away.

He's improved 100% in the way he speaks in the media this season.

Thanks for that!

Sounds like a very polite response re: 206.
Sounds like he's not in the good books.
Still, Robbie has time to earn his spot before Hammer comes back.

I was hoping Healy would have asked our coach was Zach was dropped for the Bulldogs game

Anyone ask him why Walker played with food poisoning and Waite with a groin?

That would imply he had more than a passing awareness of our playing stocks and performances. I reckon one of the reasons why they get such stupid/boring questions is because they simply don't have the kind of intimate interest/knowledge that can generate genuinely interesting questions.

ditto

surely that decision would be ot of Rattens hands and in the hands of the club medico's

If these 2 had have missed because of these issues & we lost, people would be questioning why they weren't both played (since they're both crucial to our structure). Plenty of players go into games with niggles, it's a risk all teams take. In the case of Waite, we clearly lack a strong target when he doesn't play & as for Walker, come on, missing because of food poisoning... He's a paid professional, I'd be disappointed if a teammate pulled out for that reason in local footy..

Thought he was very cool on Warnock's form, not the words of a coach satisfied with how a player's going.

Sounds like if Hammer could get back to his pre-injury form, Robbie would be wearing the red and white for a while.

Really? Seriously? Ever had food poisoning? Vomited for 2 days leading up to the game allegedly. At one point in the last, Walker was canned by the commentators for not putting in a decent chase. Seemingly lacked energy, I wonder why.

No doubt it impacted his performance. I guess my point is that it's highly unlikely a player will pull out of a game for that reason. If the player is saying he wants to play, it's difficult for the club to still omit him. I don't think the club deserves any heat over these issues.
