Gibbo, please, a full stop or a comma somewhere in there would be helpful.
No wonder we don’t see Dibo anymore.

FYI, he is doing his best, so let’s encourage less able fans, not turn them away please Mick.

You understood what he meant mate, don’t be rude.

One thing I noticed about Rowles is that he puts his arms well behind his back a lot when defending in the box. I get that it's a common technique to prevent a hand-ball in the box and many defenders do that.

However, I wonder if that attributes to players getting past him. It has to be a physical deficiency making it harder to turn your body quickly.
If I was an attacker and saw the man in front of me with his arms behind his back, I would see that as an easy way around.

Just look at the penalty in the MV game..

Actually I didn't and I wasn't being rude.

Good presser.

It’s much easier to like and forgive a coach who takes responsibility.

Let’s see how they rebound against what will be a hungry SFC.

Agree, but I think he admitted to not knowing how to get the team to defend, and it has been showing over many games.

Interesting we have a new board. I wonder what effect it will have.

Mick knows him. He was just having a laugh.

Who was on the old Board?
Also i have been screaming for a defensive coach for years now.

Pat Z was approached to do just this by Mulvey in preseason but MC wouldn't fund the position.
For those playing at home - this one is not a rumour, Patrick told me himself.

What a shame. Would have been a smart move by Mulvey.

Once the defence gets ripped apart like that it’s never the keepers fault.

He made Satiro go far post and he was good enough not to put it wide.

Nothing Kennedy did wrong on that one imo

Of course I would prefer for our defence to not be ripped apart in the first place.

But Kennedy had 2 choices as last line of defence (to come out or stay).

And if he didn't come out, what options would Sotirio have had?

1) Take another touch? (with the risk that Rowles catches him).

2) Shoot with power?

I usually dislike keepers staying on their line, but I think there is a time and place to rush the attacker.

Yeah definitely an option and had it worked great but if it didn’t same result. Satiro had plenty of time to go round him but as you say could have mucked it up. Still Kennedy not at fault. Mat Ryan actually makes the same choices in that situation so probably the correct default keeper position
