Off a cliff yes.
However AFL House removed our 1 wood by changing the rules & affecting the list profile that had made us successful.
Going to take time to rebuild the team to acquire the skills to deal with the current netball format.
Then they’ll take stand away just as we complete a team of skilled users.
Yep, has been very good the last 2 games. Should come in for the Eagles game and play midfield/forward. Some of his clearances against Casey were outstanding.
Highly relevant if a trend that continues from the second half of last season continues into this season, and we are 5 games in, that's a reasonable sample.
Some of us called this in Round 15 or thereabouts last year, but the rest of the forum is only just catching on.
At round 6 2017 we had only won 13 of the past 28 games - 46%
yes, fair point, stats/results don't tell the whole story. In hindsight in 2017 of course we had a forced crisis whereby we had one tall forward, and lo and behold the 3 amigos pressure game was born. We also had Dusty/Cotch/Lambo etc at the peak of their powers. We had Rance/Grimes/Vlas/Astbury
So, with my thinking hat on I can point out the differences with 2017
Relative hunger for success - low
Team spirit - low
Midfield weak - no Lambert, no Dusty, Cotch a shadow of what he was, Prestia prone to injury. Promising young mids but no-one stepping up yet
Rule changes --- STAAAND
Other teams gone past us
Culture of trust and shared vulnerability - weak or maybe we need something else now
etc etc etc.
That would apply equally to several players in the 22
Yep. You can bet on it.Then they'll change the rules again
AFL believe they must add a couple of new rules each season.
What, no brightside Antsy one? You've just wrapped us up in the shroud n walked away,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,tsk tsk.
There is a brightside, we enjoy what we've acheived and move on with a rebuild.
Pretending the aged bodies of Cotch and Jack can take us to the summit again in 2022 only leads to suffering and disappointment.
Been saying this since last season dude.
