It's been said that Premiership Teams are based on DEF .....and that is our big weakness ATM .....there was the continuing skill errors across the team, but lets look at the key factors moving fwd
1. Our KPD positions are a big issue .....Butts form is terrible, 2 weeks in a row, where his inability to compete in the air, and anicipate the incoming play, has been a huge problem
Frampton, the better of the 2 KPD ....that's if you are being truly objective .....our alternatives are limited, we desperately need McAsey to standup
2. ROB ....OK, I've prattled on a lot the last couple of years .....I had hoped ROB could have been a Ben McEvoy player, negating Ruckman, but strong around the ground ....at 27, he has regressed from 3 years ago ....he's not going to be part of any future success
EASILY beaten at ruck contests .....his comical attemps to juggle marks, was only surpassed by the ease with which opponents were able to knock him off balance ....that Draper goal, in the last qtr, was amatuerish, and showed ROB's inability to sum up the situation
Whilst ROB is a very intelligent man .....he is the epitome of a dumb footballer .....FFS drop him !
3. Sloane was shot last year .....Crouch only 64% TOG .....with so many kids, can we afford a senior player spending so much time on the bench ....meaning kids are having to spend higher TOG than they should

One of the things that is really apparent is when we are kicking out, we have very few options who can take a mark around the 50m line.
We are often looking for Dawson now who is a great mark, but other than Obrien (who isn't clunking them currently), we struggle to mark, resulting in a ball up or out of bounds.
I also don't understand what we are trying to do with the forward entries, with us largely still bombing high to 20-30m out hoping for a pack mark with our big guys all together, rather than our key forwards separating and creating different options.

Nothing new they haven’t had anyone to reliantly take a mark between the arcs since Dangerfield left
Might be unpopular but I thought we got a better run with the umpires yesterday. I know they missed a few for us, but there were loads of missed calls for Essendon especially in their f50.

Certainly wasn't noticeable this week like it's been in the past.
He was definitely up there. Was horrible and couldn't do anything right. Schoenberg is still in this form.

About this DE bullshit everyone loves to point to to defend the likes of sloane/laird/keays/crouch..
Disposal efficiency..
Can anyone provide a breakdown of exactly how this is actually assessed?..
What is the criteria used to judge whether a disposal has been efficient?..
If Crouch did 15 handballs in a game and everyone of them hits a team mate would it be classed as 100%DE regardless of the fact that 12 of the 15 handballs went to a team mate who wasnt even expecting it and thus was flat footed or had an opponent within a foot of them and is immediately tackled?
I mean… Surely a handball to a team mate who is already under immediate pressure, regardless of whether they take possession of that handball easily or not, cannot be classed as an “efficient” use of the ****n pill..

Yep the umpiring was poor overall but we got plenty of the BS ones in our favour

You see that just shits me, our coaches are ****ing morons
Why did we drop the plan for Murphy to get a run on the ball this week - he was great the week before? We seem to have done the same with Rachele too - or did he get some CBAs I missed?
Does having Sloane in the team mean that he takes ALL of those outliers for himself?

Surely half his pressure acts is him putting himself under pressure

Would be good if he had some goal sense though, he is a handicap in that regard. How long can he get by just on pressure acts and is that what you really are going to accept from a first round pick?

Short and long answer:
Yes to Sloane
Because our coaches are morons who think being experienced takes precedence over smart football decisions

You do realise pressure acts contribute to turnovers?
Jimmy needs to be kicking bags of goals because he's contributing bugger all else.
The problem is that Strachan had his colours lowered to a fat bloke in the SANFL this week. ROB has to be dropped though

Thats actually a pretty stupid question and an attempt to deflect from the questions I asked you. Should a first round pick be expected to do more than just pressure acts? You can get a bloody rookie player to do that.
He has zero goal sense if the goal isn't given to him on a platter. That snap, last weeks effort against Port. It's just not good enough and this has nothing to do with Rowe who has his limitations but wasn't a first round pick.
Its time for you to accept Hamish recruiting with our first round picks is ordinary.
We need to employ the Geelong method...who "rested" Duckwood - coincidentally making the team better......we need to do the same and "rest" Sloane.

Again… and I’m not dissagreeing with your on this Mutineer because it is clear that Neddy runs all day and tries his best to not allow his opponents easy use of the footy.. but..
what actually constitutes a “Pressure act”?..
Whats the criteria used to judge this?..
Is simply running along beside or just behind your opponent a pressure act?..
Is tackling an opponent poorly which simply allows them to handball to a team mate still a “pressure act”?..
Some of these statistics could ****n mean anything..
End of the day.. we watch a game of footy.. and we can see where its won or lost regardless of these meaningful?/meaningless? stats in the washup..

You're the one deflecting, you want to bring Hamish into it when Neddy is playing the role the coaches have set for him, that's not Neddy's fault.
Like Murphy he should be getting midfield time when we need a change up, that's on the coaches.
Used to be an absolute weapon for him too, injuries have seemingly killed off his best traits as a mid
Nicks has dropped Crouch before when he also had a poor start to 2020. Actually came back after that spell and was significantly better.
Another shithouse display from Schoenberg, how many more chances does he get?

Which is why they shouldn’t be afraid to drop a senior again.
