Other posters say Fish copped damage too on more than one occasion - broken bones?
I mean, what does that do to the confidence of our other forwards?
Forwards coach should be sorting this out, whether it's one player's fault or no player's fault.

Who is the Adelaide forward coach?

Viney? Bickley? Hart? Jonas? Noble?

Because they lost the game last night by sending towering kicks deep forward hoping the big blokes would take a mark. Now I know their entire forward-line is based around blokes who are good marks, but the minute the ball spilled they had no answers.

yeah but their worst wasnt as bad as our worst and their best was much better than our best.. and they dont even have the best ff in the game...

And yet coming into the final round we were above them on the ladder.

Must have been an incredible coaching performance to have us ahead of a team so much better than us.

Chris Johnson leaving the lions to return to Vic, would be a good fit as an assistant/development coach

I saw that incident the same as you BKB.

I thought Santy was positioning himself well for the mark and he bodied his opponent out of the way to take the grab then KABOOM.

A bit selfish from the Fev me thinks.

Lappin was assistant to Malthouse in the IR series....somebody else apparantly rated him also.

Gary Lyon has coached them...

Are you insinuating anything from any first hand knowledge of Gary Lyon as a coach ?

Gary Lyon has been given a job as a development coach at the AIS next year.
Do you think he was given the job because of his public profile or because the AIS thought he was a good option?

And what does Gary Lyon having coached them have to do with Lappin anyway?

It is like saying Ratten or Parkin coaching the Blues is devalued because Percy Jones and Ian Thorogood both coached CFC before them.

..sure, but we have no idea what about skinny that the malty one actually 'rated'.. ..personally i reckon what he would have rated about skinny, was his ability to 'take to the round ball' so well.. ..skinny had a good feel for the hybrid game, and adapted to the kicking style needed for the round ball.. ..considering how different the hybrid game is to ours, i don't see how being a good 'coach' in one automatically transfers to being good in another....

.. ..what i do know, is that skinny has had long enough to show us something as a forward coach, and he hasn't.. ..don't bang on about us being a high scoring team, cos alot of that has come from the hard work of our mids.. ..the very fact that the goal kicking table is very close to last year [fev miles ahead of second placed betts], and the fact that our 3rd highest goal kicked is a mid,, proves to me that our forward line set-up hasn't improved [could argue gone backwards actually]..

And yet you see blokes getting snapped up straight out of the game, meanwhile it took Gary how long to transition to the starter's line as coach?

He's not coach material, he's been exposed to us in the media long enough for us to know this.

I haven't banged on about us being a high scoring team, but just cant see that much criteria to judge Skinny on...besides Fev and Betts he really lacked the cattle to form a dangerous multi pronged fwd line.

And how many times did I read posters complain that we still kicked to Fev even though he was outnumbered and was the wrong option. Is that Skinny's fault or is the blame with the midfielders ?

Because Skinny was the perfect type of player for the IR series, and thus picked it up a lot better than many others with a greater understanding of the game.

Magnificent team game by young power forward Tom Hawkins in a great prelim win over the filth. Didn't kick a bag of goals but Cats won easily.

I hope Lappin and Fevola were watching...
