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

[cmndstab]

I thought that was Bond's best match so far. Excellent defensively, and got some nice touches along the way.

We also lost to Richmond at home.

People seriously don't think injuries is why we lost that one do they?

Nope. That was our mental weakness. Thought all we had to do was turn up.

 

[jenny61_99]

We've had a normal injury run. All sides have missed best 22 players here and there.

Hawthorn for example have missed Sicily, Day and Lewis for chunks of the season

Yes, but key position players?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

It was crazy hearing Nicks say Curtin was a key defender just days ahead of him playing midfield at AFL level.

Like does he think we're stupid?

Roo commenting during the game said Curtin was a fwd/mid.

Fog after the game saying Curtin did well up forward for a key defender!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Whichever coach gave Sam Darcy a vote has to be taking the piss.

 

[FR0GGY]

This is one of the dumbest comments, that keeps getting trotted out .....just shows no footy intellect, or an ability to access scenario's

Why?
Why should it take 7 years?
How long is hawthorns taking?

He was great aside from the goal kicking

So in his press conference Nicks said he thinks ultimately he is a big bodied mid - but needs to keep working on his contest
He also said they don’t really know where to play him at the moment - assume because he isn’t yet particularly suited for any role. Good flexibility though

Almost unstoppable in the air

Has got great strength too for a skinny kid, put Murray to ground at one stage in a contest.

Amazing player, better prospect than TT if we’re being honest

If TT could just have his hands.

 

[ams4crows]

15.9 disposals, 3.7 tackles, 1.52 goals per game as a permanent mid sized forward.

He's a few goals behind Stringer, Fritch, Hayward who might be considered in front of him, but the other stats he's well ahead.

He's giving himself every chance, but he'll want to have another 2 blinders to finish off the year. I have everything crossed that he does, would be his dream come true to make that squad.

Dylan Moore from Hawthorn should be AA on the forward flank

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

He was great aside from the goal kicking

But, as a forward, his job is to also kick goals, which is why his performance wasn't worthy of a vote. If he kicked 3.4, then sure, but not when it's 1.5.

You try telling nicks that

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

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).

Reckon it was Nicks, given Bevo raved about ROB.

Beveridge
5 ROB
4 Fog
3 Keays
2 Keane
1 Darcy

Nicks
5 Crouch
4 Fog
3 ROB
2 Worrell
1 Sholl

So nicks is the better football judge! Wow

Well he is giving us plenty of reasons to think he is stupid!

 

[adelaidecrows]

Going defensive vs port was definitely 1

Even Hinkley has admitted from time to time he got something wrong. All the coaches do it. Nicks literally has not done this. He has blamed the players after every bad loss I can think off. Blamed the players for the 0-4 start, even though we had a noticeable shift in game plan since that time.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Worrell 100% should've played early, it was obvious to everyone at the time.

Plenty of us posted about it regularly.

There was no reason why he couldn't play with Doedee either.

Doedee played most of the season I'm question with a shoulder injury, which was crazy.

Actually I reckon using a 5 day break as an excuse for a loss to the bottom when they had even less is right up there

He’s done it once when he subbed off soligo vs collingwood last year when he was BOG

Ahh my bad. I guess just one mistake in 5 years is a pretty good track record only coaches can dream off.

Kept one of the most dangerous small forwards quiet... this week Rioli.

Bevo gonna Bevo

Bevo is an incredibly unlikeable twat
