huh?
Aaah, I know you read other people's posts TP.
It's just that some say nothing but spew out negative diatribe, when it's already had a zillion comments made about it over the past few weeks. Don't they get tired of repeating their same old words over and over again? Do they ever acknowledge someone else's comments that have already been made about the topic, in order to create a constructive discussion? Rarely.
We need a bit of perspective and a bit of gumption to ride out the storm that will happen over the next few years.
^ I’m past getting Angry now though. It’s true I want change. I’ve stopped catering for losses. I welcome them if it’s the catalyst for change. I took the odds on GCS for $3.05.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

In his best year, he was as an extra midfielder that he was damaging - he has never been a good mark or knows how to ruck in the centre square. The centre square is a big melee really, and with his height and weight, he would be a hard matchup in there. He is a good kick and runner, and taking the ruck work off him would let him concentrate on other things. It’s not as though we have lots of options. When JT gets a clearance, the ball hardly clears the square.
I think the stats on him as a mid are below average. Of course that’s him playing as ruck and comparing his numbers to a mid.
It might be worth a try though? Even if for just 15 minutes to remind him of what he used to do so well in the instant he turned from ruckman to mid-fielder.?? The plus in the rest of the season is that anything can be tried, with nothing to lose.
I remember Bomber Thompson when he took over temporary coaching of Essendon during the supplements saga. He openly said that he'd do and say anything he wanted..... because he could!

True mate, spot on. We are in a hole,but we will get out of it, we have done it before, takes time, patience, just have to stick by our kids, and weather the storm. Better days will come, down the track.

agree 100%.
Just get these kids the hell away from Nathan, Brenton and Robert and into the hands of a group of coaches that can develop and nurture their talent.

Repeated the same thing only to get the same lousy result is madness.
Sensei, get a grip Change and action is coming - there's nothing surer. "It won't happen overnight, but it will happen". With any change, comes a degree of patience to make sure it's change in its most productive form.

Because Bucks hate players that are NOT Robots or have Character
