Now that we've sacked the coach, what are we looking to do with the rest of the season? Pure development? Getting a few wins? Checking out the list and making a few assessments?

I have a feeling they're desperate for a win.

Win

Let 'em off the leash. Get them back to enjoying their footy.

We need to win games to attract the mature talent we've been wanting for a while. Winning games of football will "develop" our players more than any other measure. Start this week, against a young-ish team who were down last year and have shot up the ladder this year.

Tell our forwards to listen carefully to everything Hodge says to the Brisbane backline on field, and apply it in reverse.

Exactly. This flowering mentality about no.1 picks needs to erased for ever from our mindset. For flowering sake.

Sam Walsh goes alright....

So does Dangerfield and Cripps and...take your pick

Good advice.

Brisbane are in red hot form

bondiblue · **Posted:** Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:28 pm

Hope for the following:

In Jones Simpson McGovern Thomas

Out Fasolo Lang Kennedy Plowman ...

In Teague
Out Bolton

It will be interesting to see what Teague does with the forward setup this week.
It is pathetic in its current form.
If he changes it markedly, we will know he was only following orders from BB.
We know how he set up Adelaide and they have not done much since he left (which is curious).
I wonder if he will use Garlett there at some stage in the ddie Betts role. Garlett is an instinctive player like many of the indigenous players and in the little I have seen of him up front has offered a lot more than he did down back. he was a top pick in his draft year for a reason.
I hope Teague just lets them off the hook for this one week and tells them to go and enjoy themselves while he watches on.
I would love to see what some of our class players can do if someone were to say,
"Your goal today is to get 25 possessions or more and have four tackles and three running bounces."
"Your job today is to run with Zorko and kick one goal."
"Your job today is to stay within 20 metres of goal when the opposition has possession and to lead at the ball carrier from there when we get a turnover in our half."
"I want you to fly once for MOTY, just once so pick your time."
"Your job is to run through fifty once a quarter and have a long shot for goal."

Just that on top of the structural stuff that is necessary.
Win or lose, the players would enjoy their week and so would we.
Then I woke up.

Importantly BS, Fagan won't know exactly what we are going to do....

I agree about watching the set ups.... This will be very interesting.
If it's more of the same, I will be happy to see the assistants go...
If we see differences, but the same errors/hesitation etc, then (God help us) its the players that aren't up to it

Go Blues

Would be nice to see some early active coaching if things aren't working out how intended during the match

Tag Neale or Zorko? That would be a master stroke by Teague :-)

That’s our secret weapon this week.
We were pretty predictable.
And, god help us, a healthy dose of enthusiasm.

What's the point? Even if we get it, we will trade it away for some rubbish pick that will go down the toilet and history will keep repeating itself.....

McGovern, Murphy, Simpson & Thomas all potential ‘ins’ this week. Teague should be able to field a competitive team.
