Yes, yes we do want to ask that

Could explain why we start well I guess... how does it explain when we finish well e.g Geelong?

No idea what that means... we've won more flags than STK?

Yes, I know... I mistakenly thought it was you that raised the strawman after you replied:
strawman?????????????????????????????????????????????
So, I should have said "Like Lazza did with Whatley"
I didn't misquote you
Happy now?

No, because I only put 8 question marks after " straw man" in my original post, now you're saying I put 34 plus question marks in your post above.   |

Because our game plan is not designed with an attacking mindset to kick large winning scores. It's centred around a defensive mindset so we don't get beaten (by too much).
Nathan Buckley has coached out whatever attack, flair and instinct our players ever had. Buckley coaches to save games and in turn save his career. We don't get thrashed because we're ultra defensive. We don't kick goals because we're ultra defensive.
Our game plan is to stop/prop/look side ways/look backwards (and choose one of these options). Our forwards don't bother because by the time we actually get the ball there the forward line is clogged and we turn it over.
We are a boring and ugly team to watch and without a doubt the worst team in the comp. Our brand of football is constipating and will not change under buckley's regime. The bloke has NFI. The sooner people wake up to this fact the sooner we move forward. No amount of top forwards or assistants will change that. We need a new coach with new and fresh ideas (and a genuine understanding for how the modern game is played). Buckley doesn't because he is an idiot and the definition of insanity. |
A coach devises his game plan around the players he has available to go out on a football field. If I had my current forward line set up with Madgen at full forward I'd be playing the same keepers off football game style that Buckley is deploying. Look at every other team's forward line set up and compare it to ours. Take Geelong - Hawkins and Cameron. Richmond - Riewoldt and Lynch. Now back to ours on Saturday - Mihocek and Madgen. Whose to you prefer? How do you expect us to kick a winning score against any decent opposition? Now if you want to complain why Buckley has allowed us to field a non-competitive forward line this year and strip it of one of the few forwards capable of kicking multiple goals, in Stephenson, last year, that's another story. |
Yep. The other point that seems to be lost amongst our performance against the Cats is that they only conceded 47 and 57 points in their previous two games. It’s not like they’re an easy team to score against.
You don’t get beaten by what you know and you know the cats aren’t going to allow you many shots on goal.
Once you accept you’re the heavy underdog, you have two choices available. Play a territory game or play a possession game in order to mitigate the oppositions time with ball in hand.
Unfortunately we can’t “ take the game on “ right now because we don’t have the talent to execute a chain of three or more pin point disposals at full tilt.
It’s also an extremely taxing game style and not one you want to employ with a bunch of kids in it.
Buckley certainly has a role to play for the list and / or the lack of skills he has at his disposal but he certainly wasn’t at fault with his game style against a very talented opposition. Guarantee if his instruction was to play on at all costs, we would have been blown out of the water and lucky to touch the ball at all in the last quarter. |

Contrary to what I tell the missus I don’t have all the answers nor do I get it right all the time, but I’ll give it a crack for you:
One of the reasons we probably started playing better late in the game against the Cats is Grundy was subbed out (yes, I just spontaneously combusted) and the players followed instructions.
Secondly, I wasn’t talking about flags I was referring to our results in correlation to our situation over the last several years. Even the biggest Buckley hater amongst you would have to agree the poor bugger just hasn’t had a fair crack it through either his design or someone else’s. Maybe he’s destined never to have personal (playing or coaching) success at the Pies and for purely superstitious reasons be moved on - I’d be okay with that but don’t say we’re shit purely because he can’t coach - that’s far too simple a cop out not even suitable for this forum.

We also went defensive against North who are *clearly* the worst team in the league, and let them back in the game after half time

Buckley knows we don't have a forward line.
Buckley assumes we're going to lose.
So he implements a game plan that isn't based on winning but solely upon stopping us getting pumped.
To what end? What is this game plan supposed to achieve?
I'm not having a crack at Buckley. It's a serious question.
What exactly is the goal? |
I would suggest he implements a game plan around nullifying an oppositions strengths rather than setting out to kick more than the opposition. We don’t have a forward line, so why bother to entertain a gun fight you know you can’t win. ( we have had two one point losses after 10 rounds, albeit still losses none the less )
You have more chance of coming back and pulling off a ridiculously lucky win being three goals down at three quarter time than being 6 goals down at three quarter time.
I know people want to see us take the game on but once you go down the “ develop the kids “ route, that plan is doomed to fail for two reasons.
1 ) the kids would be absolutely knackered by 3 / 4 time.
2 ) they have no concept of transition or hand overs in their first AFL year because they have just come from anti density rules.
The moment you turn the ball over to a quality opposition, particularly with a young side, you’re effectively giving the opposition a shot on goal.
Letting the kids get a feel for tempo and chipping it around with a low risk possession style is the best thing for them right now and if your season is over, you might as well put as much energy into the next wave, as you would the next week.
If you can’t win today, you might as well at least plan for tomorrow. |

Which forwards from season 2018 are no longer with us?
