Thanks Jack your Podcasts are a welcome listen to each week, especially during the off-season.
The ongoing discussion about whether Griffin will change his tactics for 2023 is one of the most defining issues for how well we will or won’t play. No change in what he has done to date will no doubt lead to disappointment.
Change is essential and many on the Forum have nailed what is needed, more time in first grade for the young guns, Hunt to transition to hooker with Sullivan getting time at half, more speed in defence and in the play the ball and much more adlib footy to name just a few.
I was especially interested in Curtis’ comment this week about the changes emerging in the physical make up and playing style of players across the field.
Curtis is spot on. We are seeing this already with the old hard nosed lumbering forwards being replaced by hard nosed more mobile and creative forwards.
This then leads us to needing coaches who can lead this type of change not lag several years behind it. Can Hook make such change in his coaching style - most probably not but as he is our coach for 2023 I certainly hope so.
We need a coach and support staff in our club management who are forward thinkers like Curtis. Give up the day job Curtis and come over to the Dragons.
Keep the Podcasts coming Jack.
