Ridley training?
The problem is we are half the size of other teams. Harder training doesnât fix that.
All the hallmarks of short term sugar hit that burns out and we get slaughtered late.
There is something that I can think of that might help

Iâve got an ideaâŚhear me outâŚâŚ
What if I told you I have a state of the art supplements program, that could fix that???
Id prefer we just drafted some proper players. Although we could juice them too.

For real?
The right coach is a very important role. Iâll give you that. So how happy would you be for Xav & Mahoney to pick a new coach? Because it will be them and it will be rubber stamped by the board.
@BrickBomber made an excellent point about culture yesterday and players that are and arenât blue collar. Iâll go a step further. Why the â â â â is the coach dictating the identity of the club? In the whole organisation heâs essentially high middle management. For me the club has one culture defining characteristic and thatâs people who are not accountable. And it goes back to Sheedy disappearing and being uncontactable through to Dylan Shiel not being dropped for not taking responsibility for an opponent. That wonât get fixed by bringing in a coach who is very proactive on accountability, that coach will be the outsider and likely wonât last their first term. If we want to see success, grit, determination, resilience, or any other characteristics that describe âblue collarâ we need an overhaul of all key roles at the club from top to bottom and we need to fill those roles with people that represent those characteristics. However what we have at the moment is one middle manager selling a big dream on behalf of a valid marketing guru (Xav), a bloke who looks like heâd need a manual to operate hammer (Mahoney) and a decrepit old skeleton who probably thinks it was great that we left Windy hill for the bowls club so he can get a seniorâs discount on a Sunday roast at the social club (Brasher). Iâll concede that Truck has convinced Brasher that a significantly harder edge is required at the club and while heâs doing his best to seem like a grizzled old hard man, he is not one. And theyâre the three obvious heads that need to roll before we even think about getting rid of Truck. After that swing the axe happily, but bringing another coach into our busted â â â club will only result in adding another busted â â â ex-coach to the list.
Thatâs the report. Not full blown carnage and lasted about 30min, but a definite step up in physicality.

I thought Heppell said he knew of the incident, but hadnât seen the actual vision.
Not sure Ruttenâs comments today actually contradict that?

Hahaha which aligns perfectly with what the comms dude told me yesterday. Guess they want to treat the general public like a bunch of idiots.
âunconditionally ruthlessâ. I wish they would at least ocassionaly be conditionally ruthless

He said he was not aware it was happening in the moment and said that he had not seen the vision prior to him appearing on TV.
Itâs an absolute â â â â up on all parts.
That was my belief as well
