What happens if Murphy, McHenry and Jones are all out of the rd 1 side. Who becomes the whipping boy?

ROB odds on, then Keays, then Sloane, then prob Milera (assuming Crouch doesn’t get in)

Not at all. But this board hasn’t been short of whipping boys of late. It’s not like they are in short supply!

I reckon Lairdy can hold his own actually

Who ever is not very good

Be prepared for a year of bad puns. It's a small price to pay.

Honestly?.... Smith.

If he continues to bomb long when it's clear we are trying to lower eyes and hit up more targets so we can more accurately hit our elite forwards on the chest

They never are. It's just how good the whipping boys are that changes.

ROB

On 7NEWS ROB says that he doesn’t need any help in the ruck and that his aerobic ability is his greatest strength.. hmmm

Any chance he could learn to tap the ball to his team mates...

Even when he has a clear hit out, he usually hits it blindly to space.

What is Doc Clarke telling him, as he was a decent tap ruckman.

Basically if ROB can't give us our fair share of taps to advantage nor hold his marks, we are better off going for more mobile options that are better around the ground.

Obviously feeling the pressure, he knows hes not guaranteed selection when hes playing the way he is.

 

[ams4crows]

If he isn't winning the tap he isn't offering much else, better off with Himmelberg and Thilthorpe tandem at least they have both extreme agility and decent skills once the ball hits the deck

its weird Doc was a good tap ruckman

You can understand Doc teaching ROB how to fumble a mark, but mystery why he can't sort out his tap work to advantage.

Has ROB had his eyes tested because even when he has a clear tap, he usually puts it's into space rather than hitting it to one of our midfielders.

Straight out of the Sam Jacobs playbook.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Obviously feeling the pressure, he knows hes not guaranteed selection when hes playing the way he is.

If he gets back to playing like he did when he signed a long term deal, he won't feel pressure.... but if he keeps up his more recent form, he should feel the pressure.

Basically he has been worse since becoming part of our leadership group & one our higher paid players... like he got comfortable.

I try to work out if it’s him or the mids are not getting to the hit zone, or just no communication.
I remember working with Rehny and he had basically 3 hit zones he divided the circle into a Y

Given this has been an issue for a while, need to question wtf are Doc & ROB planning with the midfield group...
