When will Bernie go !!

Its very rarely all or nothing and usually somewhere in the middle.

So to assume all or nothing without fact is normally by virtue completely incorrect!

yes. all brisbane FC amounts to is a gameplan. poor culture, off-field politics and mediocre list didn't cruel Leppa at all.

also - some blokes simply make better assistant coaches.

hardwick. now there's an assistant coach.

That's weird...

That's what everyone else says about Richmond fc.
 
Turn it up ninja, the club is widely lauded for its stability. Hardwick has had everything he could've wished for.

Brisbane has been a basket case.

Even the board challenge last year was an industry joke.

vlastuin in the forward line has been a disaster but still he persists all through JLT and into round 1. why? floss doesn't offer much there,

Vlastuin laid 12 tackles, after being polaxed in the first 5 seconds.

Now, I dont know where he laid 'em, but if the new offensive is I50 defense, then he played a blinder

He also took a ripper contested mark on two blokes and stuck it through.

I dont mind him mid resting forward at all.
 
Big fan of Flossy but he's way too slow for a modern forward line. Can't play him and Lloyd in there unless they've been rotating. Even then Lloyd much more likely to jag a goal.

Send him back and rotate him through the middle. That's his go.

Cmon Easy you cant come in these parts and be logical and factual, this is all about thoughts and perceptions and rebranding as fact!

Righto TT, he's the best small forward we've had in years. Captain of the F50 :hihi

Sin knows what he doesn't know - which actually makes him more astute than those who assume they know everything.

all we have is presence / absence of staff and what we see on the field in those seasons.

players / coaches have also been on the record with interesting comments over the last few years.

In other words we have guess work and media fluff.

Hang on, I did mention actually watching the games.

You don't do that?

Admittedly it's a minor component to understanding the game.

If that is an allusion to Socrates, point well made. If it is an allusion to Rumsfeld keep trying.
 
No Dimma's dissection this week but they replaced it with Commonsence from Caracella.

They used to say about a bloke (any bloke) 'too slow to be a defender' so times must have changed.

You know that only the rare few among us have the touch of crazy, awesome genius that allows us to know which coach gave which input to a particular piece of the game plan - a rare gift! So Rioli doing that little pressure act that meant the Carlton player fumbling and the mighty yellow black scoring yet another goal from a turnover - "That was Blake" you say to yourself with a special, knowing little smile. Lloydy handballs weakly and the ball is picked off by Murphy -"FFS Dimma" you mutter pensively, shaking your long, well-conditioned locks of lustrous auburn hair out of your piecing blue eyes in annoyance. Hark - a Prestia goal off the pack from a Griffens long bomb to the square - "Good one Leppa" - sotto voce - you nod sagely as you look out across the great unwashed crowd of Tiger fans, happy in their blissful ignorance of the titanic struggle going on in the RFC coaches box only a few hundred metres away.

The final siren sounds - you make your way down Brunton Avenue towards the station. Victory was achieved and evil was vanquished - for today at least. But you know in your heart of hearts that this is a war, not a battle. The forces of darkness are always there - God grant strength to those brave knights of Game Plan, Blake and Justin, In their ceaseless struggle against the Dark One. (You know... Beavis).

So that's how watching a game works, damn, been doing it wrong all these years. Thanks for that antman.

Simpler than that.

Blake Caracella is coach of ball movement.

Ball movement improves.

Who woulda thunk?
