Review R22: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Footscray

[George Kramer]

Worrell has repeatedly said in interviews, he wasn't ready for the AFL requirements

The hamstring early season last year, and arm this year, have held Worrell back ....not the Coaches

That is not entirely true. A senior club official said they couldn’t play Worrell and Doedee together and they preferred an injured Doedee than give Worrell a chance, then he came in played well and shock horror they played together.

[Betts are off]

I would love if there was some media buzz about a Laird trade. So long as Nicks doesn't use it as an excuse to get him back in the midfield.

How about Laird for Caleb Daniel.

AKA, The Munchkin Trade.

 

[George Kramer]

Didn’t Wayne say injuries today?

For the first four rounds? Not sure, but he’s definitely used them.

And have to laugh at the injury excuses for the Richmond loss. They had a shit load of injuries too. We were playing at home and they’ve won 2 games for the year including beating us.

How some of you sycophants can continue to dismiss criticisms, make excuses for a club and coach that has consistently made basic errors is downright embarrassing.

Let me guess you all think Nicks is now a genius for playing Curtin up forward due to injury?

Why did the club prefer a hobbled Doedee over Worrell when Worrell walked and played very well? Or are you saying they timed his second game perfectly, just when he was ready and the weeks before he would have been no good?

 

[BucketsNj]

Worrell not having more AFL experience is on us. We refused to play him.

Nank also to a lesser extent.

Worrell has consistently said that he wasn’t ready for the Senior team.

Just for you Southerntakeover

And we only got one (legend) footballer out of that lot?

 

[Slippery Pete]

Shouldn't you be on your anti fun crusade telling Mac Andrew not to silence the Essendon crowd because GC haven't accomplished anything yet?

You know who can get away with that stuff?

Steph Curry.

When Rachele and RT are in that league, let me know.

 

[Apsaalooke]

There's that mouse again.

You mean this guy

Eek-A-Mouse (born Ripton Joseph Hylton, 19 November 1957) is a Jamaican reggae musician.

Curtin is a KPD

Taylor isn't ready

Dowling isn't ready

Playing young guys won't help our performances



Saying bullshit, and then when you're proven wrong, pretend it was your idea all along seems to be club modus operandi.

 

[Pugsley]

Injury.*

The Thilthorpe injury is being used to brush away criticism of a bottom four season.

It's a cop out excuse for poor coaching in our case.

 

[El Doederino]

****ing lol - Sam Darcy got a coaches vote.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

****ing lol - Sam Darcy got a coaches vote.

wtf Nicks probably rated him one of our best.

 

[Danger in Texas]

****ing lol - Sam Darcy got a coaches vote.

Bevo gonna Bevo

 

[GameofSloanes]

Yet the First-Crack denizens think we need to remove Laird from the midfield! This shows how much they're actually watching.

We have. 0 CBAs 2 weeks in a row

Sholl and Keays my 2 best. ROB ok and good game but should not have 8 votes. Hinge or MM should have a vote.

Consistency comes with experience ....both in games & maturity

From yesterday's game:

Worrell - 28 games
Nankervis - 22 games
Keane - 30 games
Michalanney - 43 games
Bond - 5 games
Taylor - 7 games
Curtin - 5 games

That's 30% of our squad yesterday, who are still learning more mentally, how to concentrate for an entire game

Curtin got caught out ball watching twice ....that won't happen with more experience ....but youth still cost you games

5 more 50-60 games inc Soli, Rachele, TT, Berry and someone else (just forget after checking haha)

So 12 players under 60 games..,,,

Looks like one of the coaches gave Mrouch a 5, and the other didn't have him. He had a good game, but not better than most of the others on the list (excl Darcy. I had a better game than Darcy).
