Geeeez!! Some people are hard to please! After losing all year by 40 points or more, we lose by just 8 to a bloody good team and play some very good football doing it and everyone is whining about it! Pull your heads in and be happy with the effort that the boys put in.
It's a loss but who cares, we're not making finals, improvement in effort, skill and fitness is the best we can hope for.
LDU played like a genuine A grader, Powelly getting back to what we were seeing last year and BUCKETS holding down the back line is what I'm happy with. Also really liked Young's game today too, been a big critic of him and I was pleased to see him play well.

I do hope for Ginnivan that he isn’t smashed by the media. Its not awesome, its how he learned to play footy. He has a dip and he called Cornes out, hopefully the kid see’s it as a water off a ducks back moment.. however, he has to be aware, the way he goes about it, there’ll be a player out there that has will have enough and absolutely take his head off.. Corr isnt built like that, yet he tried to rip his head off “legally”What a bizarre thing for Carey to say. He’s always been soft. Used to drive my mates who support the pies crazy.
Now they can’t stand Ginnivan.
No I’m suggesting that’s what he did.
He went back to the exact garbage that we have been doing for 3 months in the last where the priority was to stop the opposition from scoring and not score ourselves.
He lost his nerve.
Instead of going balls to the wall and trying to put the game to bed by scoring ourselves he tried to put the dam wall up and save it. All it did was allow Collingwood the ball and momentum and they gleefully took it and made us pay.

I'd argue that it's near impossible if they execute what Ginnivan does perfectly. He drops as low as blokes do in wrestling when they shoot for a take down...it's pretty hard to get under that. If you pre empt it and shoot your tackle drastically lower than you otherwise would you risk a major head clash.There was one play where he went into his playing for a free and the opposition player was still a fair way from reaching him.
End of the day though, people that duck can be caught holding the ball with good tackling technique. It’s on the tackler to get this right.
In a nutshell a better structure where we held our forwards and made Collingwood accountable one on one and the big one, effort and intent on the players behalf.Haven't seen any of yesterday's game - umpiring commitments means I can't go to Saturday afternoon games, and I've just been too busy today to watch the replay, and I'm too lazy to read back over this entire thread.
In a nut shell, what was different about the first three quarters yesterday? If anything, is it sustainable? Can I expect more like it before the end of the year? Or was it just a flash in the pan that will get dimmed very quickly?
He is a smart footballer, no doubt. The way he moves his body before tackle you are left with 2 options. 1. Is tackle and the arm goes round the neck. 2. You tackle the legs as thats how low he gets.There was one play where he went into his playing for a free and the opposition player was still a fair way from reaching him.

When players start training to counter it I guarantee there will be some nasty head clashes.He is a smart footballer, no doubt. The way he moves his body before tackle you are left with 2 options. 1. Is tackle and the arm goes round the neck. 2. You tackle the legs as thats how low he gets.
He may be revolutionary to the game. He has taken it to the next level
You would hope common sense takes place and players don’t need to counter it.When players start training to counter it I guarantee there will be some nasty head clashes.

Or players get pissed off.. Corr 100% went for his head in that last quarter.. gone-van is lucky it wasn’t a barry hall as me may have grabbed the neck and dragged him around the fieldWhen players start training to counter it I guarantee there will be some nasty head clashes.
Its all about bending the rules. I should have made that clear. Revolutionary to bending rulesThat is so sad.
A player who is "revolutionary to the game" is one who bends the rules, attempts to manipulate the umpires, and whose first instinct isn't to engage in a genuine physical contest, or utilises a genuine skill, or to bring teammates into the game with an exquisite footy brain.
All power to him, for now. But if being "revolutionary" isn't Polly Farmer's handball, or Kennedy's Commando training, or Barassi at half time in the 1970 Grand Final, or Walls's huddle from kick-out in the 80s, or Pagan's Paddock, or Clarko's Cluster or even Roos's full team team defence, and instead it's now a bloke who basically plays for free kicks...the game is stuffed.
You would hope common sense takes place and players don’t need to counter it.
If the AFL comes out and reinforces that dropping to your knees and raising your arm is considered ducking and will constitute prior opportunity, then you would hope players stopped doing it.
The worst thing they can do is come out this week and pay him free kicks for that action due to the media outrage.
I always thought it was?It is prior opportunity isn’t it?
Effort.
The game plan for 3/4’s yesterday wasn’t the same one we have seen for the 11 games prior.OK. So the coach and hiss game plan is fine. And the talent on the list is fine. The players just have to try harder?
