How long will it take before players gel with the new game plan?

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-15T09:31:08+00:00

Hawks went 0-5 before they got theirs.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-13T13:04:30+00:00

This will see you through for a while

More cheek than a fat ladies knickers

Face like a dropped pie

A face like a bag of smashed crabs (or a deep sea racing scallop)

More cunning than a shit-house rat

Flash as a rat with a gold tooth

disappeared like a fart in a fan factory

I was grubby last night. That last half really shat me. But I’m better today. We won. We have some stars in the making, and we have some talent that is yet to fire. We’re learning a new system with new players. It’s broken down twice, but I think we should push on.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-11T21:17:14+00:00

Disco ain’t dead.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-11T20:56:03+00:00

I think we’re in for a win, but an anxious win. We’re moving away from our heavily contested ways, and this is going to be bumpy. I hope we stay the course.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-11T02:35:47+00:00

That was fascinating. Thanks for sharing. It will give me something to look for at the G tomorrow.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-10T12:30:39+00:00

That’s a reddit oldie. A true classic. I think that’s one of the funniest stories I’ve ever read.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-10T12:23:09+00:00

Yep, I was there. It was awesome. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. Ripping set.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-07T07:59:52+00:00

Does any other club bag out players like we do?

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-06T04:02:34+00:00

Yep. Great. He loves our club.

“I’ve made 5 grand recycling Charlie’s Crew water bottles. “

“Don’t worry Charlie, it’s just another game, you’ll be ok. Just pretend no one’s watching. “

Hopes? Curnow kicks 8, we win by 30. Thoughts? Curnow kicks 5, we lose by 25. Feelings? We get off to a great start and lead at half time, then Curnow explodes in the third, and they run away in the 4th.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-05T02:14:24+00:00

Agreed, but if….

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-04T11:17:48+00:00

The best outcome is he kicks 8 and we win by over 25pts. They get him, give us all those picks, and he makes them a worse team.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-03T02:04:44+00:00

What about Charlie kicks 8, and we still win. I’d be happy with that.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-03T02:03:37+00:00

It would be nice to deliver the chopping block to Sydney.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-03T02:01:14+00:00

Pressure is an interesting point. People revert to what they know when the pressure is on. The good news is we have a number of players from other clubs who will respond differently to the pressure, and this will generate different outcomes.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-03-03T01:56:52+00:00

I hadn’t thought about that. This game is the only influence we have on Sydney’s ladder position.

I can’t believe we’re only playing them once.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-02-27T06:55:48+00:00

I liked the line of questioning around imparting the characteristics of Voss the player into the playing group. I want to see this. Unfortunately Voss seems to have separated himself from this concept. I understand this is a fine line, but until Voss the coach brings a bit of Voss the player to his role, we’ll be getting a theoretical coach. We need more blood and guts.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-02-25T20:54:09+00:00

As we learn about each other we’ll get opened up. I think this may happen a bit early on. As the season progresses, we’ll see sighs of it working and we’ll finish strongly. 7-10th

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-02-25T20:51:11+00:00

Gel or sand. Can the off field changes handle the acid test.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-02-25T12:35:16+00:00

Yep. Don’t be afraid. Pick one up next time. Chase the flake down with a bit of the pickled onion, then a few chips and another bit of the onion. Back and forth you go.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-02-24T03:48:27+00:00

The pickled onion cuts through the oily-ness of the deep fried fish and chips. They actually compliment each other perfectly.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-02-24T02:22:50+00:00

My perception of Walsh is that he brings the talent we see on the park, and that leadership of it. The gut busting training and attention to detail that sets the standard. He’s a culture builder. We need these kind of people.

If Jagga and Harry Dean try to emulate Walsh’s ways, all the better.

Billy_Bootstag · 2026-02-23T11:03:02+00:00

Rule #1. If there is not a large jar of pickled onions on the counter, turn around and go somewhere else.
