What insights does Adam Simpson share about coaching from Round 7?

0.284 - 18.985 Gerard Whateley

Now, back to Waitley. Such a small sample. What has it been, seven third quarters? I remember doing quantitative studies and I think a significant sample size is 30 to be mathematical and value meaningful. So I don't know, but there's smarter people than me could determine that.

19.133 - 39.032 Adam Simpson

The quantitative studies. I'm not sure. He's smarter people than Ross. Did he study that? I've got to wait until round six next year to look at their third quarters. Yes, that's right. All that stuff we've been doing for the first six or seven rounds. I mean, he's actually right to a certain degree. The sample size is pretty small, but you've got to look at some things. Yeah.

I did laugh when I heard that. He's got a bit shorter with his press conferences. I think there's a little bit of a backhander there that we've lost a bit of content of the angry Ross. But they had a good win on the weekend. So between the lines here on Darcy Wilson playing with injury.

56.258 - 78.3 Gerard Whateley

Wilson come in under a cloud today so part of his growth was handling injury and playing well so I'm thrilled for him there's a bit of anxiety around that but that's probably as significant as Hugo doing what he did that Wilson comes in and carries injury and no one would know so but coming in that there's a lot of stress for a young player wrapped around that like

79.276 - 88.68 Gerard Whateley

People like Lockie Neal, he giggles. He goes, I can play with a torn hamstring. But it's good growth for Darcy and Hugo, for sure. They're really good mates.

89.622 - 107.375 Adam Simpson

I think anyone who's played sport goes into a game thinking, I've got a twinge in my calf and... I don't want to do it. I don't, I think, I think I'm going to do my calf. And I think from a young AFL player point of view, it's happened so many times where the doc goes, he's fine. It was just a, it was just a twinge and there's no, there's no need to scan.

107.455 - 118.311 Adam Simpson

There's no, and the player overreacts to potentially what could be a serious calf injury. And it's a trust game really, as much as a learning curve for the young player.

118.291 - 127.802 Adam Simpson

You sort of got your heart in your mouth a little bit because you want him to get through and then trust the fact that we know what we're doing as a medical team and a coaching staff that we would never put you at risk if we didn't have to.
