Preview Moving On - Sydney Vs Collingwood

[Donza]

Maybe the solution is basically less is more?

Or maybe their loads have been insane.

And the chicken has roosted or something.

The more I think about Chad Warner the more annoyed I get.

This is a guy who averaged 7.4 tackles a game in at Colts level and 8 tackles a game in the U18s Championships.

Who now can't be arsed tackling.

All because he is our "attacking mid".

Well Patrick Dangerfield was Geelong's "attacking mid" but he still ****ing cracked in. You know how many contested possessions he averaged in his Brownlow year? 16.2.

You know how many Warner is averaging this year? 8.4

Seriously pissing me off now. Get him out of the midfield and tell him he's not allowed back in until he rediscovers what hard work is. Over it.

Trade Rowbottom for a second rounder, because Horse will make him more defensive and ruin him like he did George Hewett.
Get Warner out of the centre because he doesn't tackle enough.

Not all midfielders are the same.

For us (season averages) Chad is 3rd for disposals, =4th for clearances, 2nd for I50s, 3rd for goal assists and score involvements, 5th for goals, 5th for contested possessions, 3rd for metres gained and let's not forget =5th for tackles.

I really like Rowbottom's inside pressure/tackling, I really like Chad's run and carry and delivery.
They play different roles and excel in different areas.

You seem to have very set ideas on what a good/effective mid is.
For example you suggested we should chase Jack Steele for next season and your great appreciation of George Hewett is well known.
My view is the one thing we don't want is less speed.

Of all the mids on our list Chad is about the only true "attacking mid" we have.
Could he improve his tackling? Yep.

But to move him out of midfield for that reason makes no sense to me.

Problem solving

I heard they were making flowcharts, but they kept forgetting they needed input.

 

[The King!]

Maybe they should get Patches O'Houlihan
in for some coaching

I also like his run and carry and delivery. But we'd get the same contributions from him playing him off a wing while giving his spot inside to someone better suited to the contest.

It's all general play. He rarely actually shows any of his best attributes when playing close to the contest.

Maybe they went to trivia night though can’t say I’d expect Chad’s team to win

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I dont know if it will mean anything past this week but like i said i would staggered no gobsmacked if we dont win on Friday or at least fight the game to the end.

HB - he gets it.

I like fast players.

Omfg . Burn it. Burn it to the ground.

The recency bias is pathetic AF.

* Broke my own idea of concentrating on a pies preview

100. I actually can’t wait to start the autopsy thread when we win.

Am thinking, to quote Paul Keating, “This is a win for the true believers”

It's not "just 2 bad games". It's 6 weeks, after letting teams get off to big starts for weeks beforehand, of 1-5. Yeah we put in a good shift against the Lions, but that's the only week worth hanging our hat on.

Freo - poor
Saints - awful
North - bye round by the 2nd quarter
Dogs - awful
Port - probably the worst performance the comp has seen in years, and the worst in recent decades for us.

I want us to win the flag and we're just flushing our season away.

Worst part is you just know Daicos is gonna get 35 and 2 goals

37 and 1.1 earlier in the year, 7 clearances, though it didn't matter.

 

[Troystenvic]

The result to me is irrelevant..It's more about endeavour and the will to be the pressure and not bombing it.

We kick the first goal of the game and we'll be right.

Naicos has become my favourite non swans player literally carrying the entire Pies midfield

Yep run the game out be competitive especially in the first quarter.

Everything else should fall in place providing the above

 

[The King!]

I look forward to a big win

Yeah but we had a side that cared then. Plus McCartin retired Ash Johnson

Darcy Moore will choose this week to forget about all his wacko off-field new-age stuff & re-focus on footy.

[wills2g]

Like Tough parenting if theres only one training session

When you know youve done something so bad mum and dad dont yell

Instead you get space and time on your own to feel bad and own up yourself

Not a bad approach tbh

no level of coaching will change effort. Players have to own it.
