Trouble with AFL coaches, they don't have the depth of understanding of the game that we have here on RWO

What I find absurd is people shutting down reasoned discussion on a discussion board.
My opinion is Lloyd doesn't break lines, his disposal is average and he racks up cheap numbers. I disagree with the coaches. Feel pretty ok about that. Not sure why it is absurd.
Here's another one. I reckon Barry sometimes says crazy stuff but I'm also interested in his opinion because he seems smart and I like to hear his point of view. Makes me think.
Poor Annie with Mchack. I knew she was joking. She probably plays golf with him on Sundays.
I even miss Matt40 sometimes even if he was a broken record in some things.
Everyone has a legit point of view.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

It would be boring if we all agreed. For what it's worth, I have a foot in both camps. Lloyd is a good player, definitely best 22 for us but could be better on his disposal at times. Plus he's a family favourite as my son is Jake too, generally plays well in defence, but can be prone to the odd clanger when getting rid of the pill!Comment

Only if there's no game on!!
McHack is a very old nickname I gave to him in his very early days at the club. I've called it to his face once or twice!!
His calm and experienced approach is what is lacking at the moment... we have to get used to not having him there to help the kids out. He's a great bloke, will always give you some time out of his day.
I hope he stays at the club in some capacity as his understanding (sometimes not his execution) of the game is experience we can't afford to lose.
Maybe get rid of Stevie J?Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Lloyds a hard worker , quite obviously knows how to get the pill but his deficiencies appear to be the penetration of his kick and the options he takes. He often appears to me to take the easiest option with a small kick or handball rather than breaking the lines or finding an option that breaks open space and moves the team forward.
Lloyd is not the messiah but he is also definitely not a naughty little boy and in with the current maturity level of the team, is in the unenviable position where he is moving the ball up to a very young and inexperienced half forward line (and midfield for that matter) which probably are not placed at this stage to make the most of those opportunities.
Id choose another target in the unending search for a whipping boy.Comment

I am not sure about everyone else but my frustration with Jake is the way he is used. His pinpoint short kicks would actually be far more effective forward of centre whereas I must agree that his kick ins are so predictable, always goes to the right short kick. Not bagging him at all as he has won a B&F but think he is exactly what Bud and the boys forward would love to lead on too. Rampes is the one we need to free up, his long kicking has been sublime, did anyone see that last ball he kicked in to the 50 against Freo in last quarter, flat and hit whoever it was lace out. I think we will actually challenge next year, a couple of recruits Sier from Collingwood and Brayshaw from Melbourne for Zac and a pick. 3rd rounder for Preuss and top 4 draftee, sweet. I don't agree we need backline reinforcements, round the coal face is where it is needed plus ruck, fwd and back think we are ok!Comment
