And can we put her on the half forward line? By name alone she sounds like more of a goer than those sods under a "just get it inside 50 enough times however you like and the result will go our way purely on statistical odds" instruction.
What a load of trollop. Almost 50 contested possessions down for the game. 130 uncontested possessions down for the game. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY! Those two together make out as if the opposition had six more players than Freo did and that the six were all top 20 midfielders of the competition.
A team with Ballantyne, Mayne and Walters has 4 tackles within 50 metres of goal. Holy snapping bat poo! If your game plan is so complex that it distracts utterly from natural footballers doing the natural fundamentals of footy, there's something drastically wrong.
Then the ability to adapt, even slightly, when your slow, looping sideways, single man spread doesn't work without McPharlin is just disturbing.
You can't coach footy like an engineering process thinking 90% is good enough an will get you over the line. It hasn't worked this way since about 2008. The game has moved on.
Lucky the derby is an away game in a couple of weeks. It is going to be ug lee.
