Can't judge the list on tonight's performance, but an issue that I feel has been consistent throughout the season with few exceptions:
Our spread is quite poor the majority of the time, we have classy players who run and spread well with good skills and composure but there are links in the...
I tend to agree a bit, he misses tackles and isnt the smartest player going around. At the moment he's still best 22 imo and i rate him considerably higher than guys like McLean and carrazzo for now , but i'd much rather him up forward i always feel hes played better footy up there and his...
The dude plays harder than most, hits hard and plays with intensity that many of our players rarely do. Obviously has his limitations but brings something to the table still, he can be a genuine hack at times, not denying that.
I personally like Robinson as a forward, can play a defensive role...
It's going to happen with him, he's never going to have elite composure, vision and decision making ability but i think at stages this year he's actually shown improvement in this area. As JaB mentioned before he still brings a lot of good qualities to the table still.
Agree.
Robbo impacts games, he has obvious deficiencies but still brings good qualities to the table every game.
Agree on McLean and Carrazzo, McLean especially im pretty sick of him and he has very little impact on the game. This is where we need the extra run and class we have a couple...
Yeah, could see the frustration on the Menz, had his arms in the air, could not believe Robbo missed him.
And he leads so hard up forward, hardly ever honoured, instead just bomb to the pocket.
Menzel had a quiet night but I was watching him closely and at least 3 times we didnt honour his lead when it was clearly our best option inside 50.
I recall a specific moment, Menzel was all alone 30-40m out very open forward line and Robbo missed him completely i couldnt believe it was so...
Performed well enough to deserve another shot next week for sure.
Gotta give these guys a bit of continuity, hated seeing Graham get dropped after a game as sub, reckon these guys would be best off getting a few games in a row.
Got Free tickets for tonight....in the collingwood members....was there last year as well, never again!!!
Honestly, i know every club has there mongrel supporters but i was actually embarrassed to be human tonight it was that disgusting.
Incredibly last year was worse when i was just 18 at...
Murphy is at his best when he's not the number 1 midfielder, see 2011 with Judd firing. With Gibbs elevating and daisy hopefully stepping up to peak performance soon hopefully the pressure can be taken off murph and we will see a bit more. ATM yes Gibbs is better imo.
We need to move on from players like Brock to fastrack development of youth, Brock is not giving us much and wont be a part of our future, time to move on.
NBA won't be the same without the Spurs, that is how basketball should be played.
OKC's unwillingness to spend could easily lose them KD, he wants championships, he wont get one with the team as it is currently constructed imo. But as you said the with the changing of the guard its really hard...
Gibbs has all the attributes to be a great player, has always been good imo but good to see him take his game to another level, hope he keeps it up and we can see him in navy blue for a long time.
Somewhat capable is where we are right now with our current list at our best, we have to make huge changes to become one of the best, yes. But to expect anything more than "somewhat capable" with our current list it just isnt going to happen, my post was in regards to this season we arent going...
Look, the past two weeks we had proven that when this team is switched on mentally we're a somewhat capable football side.
The team obviously has a variety of holes and we need to improve all across the ground in our talent level but to me the most alarming issue is the discrepancy between our...
Murph 7 clearances at the half... love watching him at full flight.
Also, +26 in tackles at least playing with some intensity and flare, some stupid mistakes but at least the intent is right.
Wouldn't be against shutting him down for the season, is there really a point in bringing him back with 5 or so games left when we aren't in contention?
Not even in a tanking way, just in the way that Kreuzer needs to get his body 100% right, he's always carrying something or coming back from...
Agree! Can't wait to see this guy at AFL level but he needs to get that match fitness up before he's unleashed.
In a few years this guy is going to be a physical monster and to top it off actually has football smarts and skill, most of our big inside mids lack that, he has it and is bigger... A...
If you can take any positive from this game, menzel looks the goods, when he can build that tank and find the footy 20 times a night and kick his couple of goals....
Our run and spread is so poor, our ball use is shocking, our composure is shithouse, and to top it off Essendon excelled in all those areas because of our uninspired effort defensively, hence we copped a flogging. Been a similar story all of our games so far this season.
Is there a such thing as incorrect disposal anymore?
And this is a ****ing joke no hustle or effort defensively and nobody running to give options offensively and to top that off cant dispose of the football for shit, usually im going off my head screaming watching the footy but tonight just...
