AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Starting to think the relationship between a number of players and the coaches is fractured, due to the game style demanded.
From the AFC site:
"BEST
Adelaide: Dawson, Soligo, Hinge, O'Brien, Rachele "
All I can remember Hinge doing is stuffing up on that LHF flank, totally unaware.
O'Brien continues to be a lumbering liability --- ineffective taps, poor around the ground, awful kick.
No love for Keane or Worrell, both of whom were very solid.
Are there any other winter sports?
I’d rather sandpaper a tiger’s arse in a phone booth
I tried but I just saw Ron Burgundy.Trying to visualise that but just can't.
There was a fly in the Coach's box. Persistent blowie, unlike the Crows .I was at a function tonight and couldn't see the game.
I want to know more about this fly incident in the coaches box.
True, The 1st one was a great kick to him in space near the 50, He heard footsteps straight back down for a goal. Cost us dearly. Then couldn't believe he done it again. Can't defend that, Selfish little boy needs to be dropped for those efforts, He'd probably sook big time but who cares.Interesting reading local paper etc to little made of or no mention of not 1 but 2 absolutely squib attempts to mark that were well in goal kicking territory . First one actually was a 2 goal error as they rushed it down to get a goal and get momentum back.
Even on here some posters trying to defend his actions or lack of.
Unless something changes quickly in his ego driven ,look at me playing then Rachelle will be another Hamish stuff up .
Surely he can see how his mate is killing it by actually just attacking the ball .
Ok we are very short of real talent in our club , but please don't gloss over how bad those efforts were and really stop pumping this player as star or future star until he actually does play a whole decent game.
time to head to the draft board.
The new game plan put greatest pressure on the team, we are the most pressured side this year.One thing which is really pissing me off is how fumbly we've been whenever the pressure is ratcheted up. We're supposed to believe "strong in the contest" is the central theme of Nicks's "brand" but our guys seem to go to absolute s**t when the opposition brings some tackling pressure.
The inconsistency all night with holding the ball was bewildering.It stood out early to me, The maggots couldn't give Essendon the frees fast enough. Umpire Stevic had his mates on the same page, Hes the AFL house go to man.
Nice to get that fix of a navy, red and yellow team actually being competent.Formula 1 runs through our winter pretty much.
I'm not a stats guy but that's certainly how it looks to the naked eye. Everything we do is a struggle.The new game plan put greatest pressure on the team, we are the most pressured side this year.
If true, the players are smarter than they play.Most of the players think Nicks and Burns are dickheads
Does Rachele need his eyes checked... seriously.Absolutely farcical at the end. How they don't pay that as holding the ball is mind boggling. Draper reenacting the dive on the ball after the siren adds a little more salt on the wound but is good for the AFL and umpires to see.
As for the footy, I've been a Brodie smith supporter for his whole career pretty much, but he has to be dropped. His form is so bad and so is his confidence. I don't know why we are giving him kick in duties when he has been playing so badly and can't make a good decision.
But who do you replace smith with?
ROB couldn't take a mark to save his life last night. Half the time he didn't even try and just tried tapping it to the ground. He's gotta be better than that, and in fairness he has been better than that.
Rachelle was weak as piss. Dropping his head twice, murdering the ball all in the last quarter. And not giving the handball over the top that needs to be given 100/100 times. Shocker night from him. Soligo is looking like the better 6 year signing more and more every week imo.
Depressing result overall. Probably a season killer. Nick's should be under pressure. Hopefully the Bulldogs fire Beveridge and we might get to have a crack at getting him. Our club always needs a bit of a tough taskmaster imo and he would fit that bill.
“In the moment and at ground level, the umpires believed that Draper dived on the ball, and then the ball came out to Draper’s left, and was then knocked back under him by Walker,” the statement reads.Broad summary and commentary upon the Draper-flop/ htb:
'Very challenging one': AFL back ump's 'correct approach' in last-gasp non-HTB controversy... but admit free was there
Controversy has erupted following Essendon's thrilling three-point victory over Adelaide, with an umpire under fire for his decision to not award the Crows a…www.theroar.com.au
This annoyed me:
"Commentator James Brayshaw agreed, but said it would need to be a ‘brave umpire’ to make such a decision ‘in the last second of the game’."
"Brave", wtf?
The correct call is not a "brave" call.
Doesn't matter when it happens, if a player flops onto the ball to smother it and just lies there making no attempt to get it out,
THAT
is holding the ball. "Brave", be ****ed.
We are so predictable persisting with injured players.Who thought it was a good idea to play a Brodie Smith that could barely move or run or kick
If he can't stick his marks, he is a liability.ROB is definitely a bottom tier ruckman. He should have only ever been a temporary stop gap option for a year or two.
The fact that he's heading towards 150 games is something I don't know whether to laugh or cry about.
We will finish 13th pick 5 and will push back to the horror pick 6 when Brisbane grab AshcroftHonestly a 10-12th finish is completely pointless from here. Needs to be down the bottom 4 and hope that Hamish doesn’t mess up another first rounder.
Club is so blind to realise OBrien is half our problem for the reason the poster stated above . Soldo craps all over ROB in every facet and he was there for the taking . Looks like Port are going to get the GWS free agents before us as we are so inept in club management . Our footy manager called Curtin a key position defender this morning on 5aa when that is not the position he played when we chose to draft him and we can all see if we play him there he will leave the club as he’s a half back , third tall regardless of his KPD height.Bad
- Obriens clumsiness. I don't care if he has 1000 hit outs, they bobble around leading to a secondary stoppage. He cant mark, kick or do anything else.
- Footsteps Rachele.
- Shapekeeper - just another pathetic showing again.
- Jones - dumb and gets worse the more disposals he gets.
- Laird - completely ineffective. Drop him
- Smith - looks like a geriatric out there
- Hamill - worst kick on the team, and that is saying something.
- Gollant - a truck has a better turning circle than him.
Worst on ground
- Matthew Nicks - you enabled this shitshow and need to get sacked.
