Game Day Rd 1 Roos v Crows..3qt...That young bloke No 29 can play.

[Hazey1977]

Gee our midfield looks pedestrian running the other way..

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

This is the first game in the last 3 years where I seriously think the Ziebell/Swallow/Cunnington is a liability. They are getting destroyed on the outside, even with Wells moving through there.

Boomer needs to lift, Garner needs to lift, Goldy needs to lift, Gibson needs to lift, Higgins needs to lift.

Swallow is a liability as he cant play anywhere else.

Because they dont!

They are ****ing horrible without ball in hand. Arm tackles, lacklustre chasing and leaving shit to do for the bloke next to you is a NM midfield specialty. Dont even mention the blind kicking/handballing...

 

[Reagan Smash]

Can someone please explain to a lay person like myself what the *¥^] the dropping the ball rule is ?

 

[Elite Master]

Dysfunctional defense and forward line, clumpy ball use, too much space and not enough defensive accountability. We are working over time with not enough reward on the board, its been a fast half.

Apart from that I think we're actually playing quite well. It sounds silly but little things, like the bounce of the ball or hack kicks from Adelaide going straight to teammates have gone against us.[/QUOTE]

Yep every 50/50 ball except for the McMillan hand ball to Gibson running thru the middle have gone to Adelaide, every one!

I'd say Gibbo is going alright, agree on everything else though. Higgins, Harvey and Garner really need to get better, especially with Jed seemingly done.

 

[Hazey1977]

Their outside guys are getting too much clean ball.

We are giving them way too much space across half forward out blokes are peeling off, giving them the easy footy so they can try clog the defensive 50.

Swallow, Cunnington and ziebell need to get on the outside and offer us something, it's all good if u can win the footy but having three players who struggle to defend when the footy is in the oppositions hand is hurting us so bad.

Need more from Harvey, garner, McMillan, Gibson and Higgins. Not enough quality footy from our outside guys.

Gibson, Swallow, Cunners, JZ, Anderson... I'm wondering if ones gotta go and we give Clarke (?e) a crack? Gut runner and natural accumulator

 

[Royal Flush]

Is Higgins playing tonight

Seriously, we are a worse team when Ziebell gets a clearance. Whether it's blind handballs over his head into the corridor or hack kicks off the side of his boot that go sideways into the corridor after our players have run forward, we get punished on the rebound from Ziebell's clearances far too often. He's actually playing well apart from that but his clearances are appalling. It's no surprise we are so poor from scoring from clearances when that type of stuff happens, and even worse it crucifies us when it goes to the opposition.

Yep, everyone but Brad can see he's shyte in the clearances, and everyone but Brad can see we are crying out for a mid sized marking forward. It doesn't take much to work out how to fix our 'structures'.

If LT is out next week suger straight in.

 

[RobZombie]

Don't be too sensitive. People are cranky in game day threads.

We'll get up in the second half. Just take a step back and calm down folks

 

[Elite Master]

I agree about Ziebell's mediocre clearance work most of the time, but I think he's been ok tonight. Finding a bit more space and penetrating long and direct, is also dishing off more handballs in tight than usual.

Your welcome, this can be a hostile place at times and im sure you can understand now isn't a great time for a lot of us. Most of us will acknowledge that your post wasn't aggressive at all. But as i said now isn't a great time so despite that you will probably still get harsh comments just for being here

 

[muttley45]

When they are not judged dangerous, or too high, all of our tackles are going unrewarded, lots of them textbook and legit free kicks blatantly ignored, whistleblowers are having a big influence on this game to date

Post may be influences y the bottle of Belvedere knocked off in first half

 

[Shermanator]

Well I have faith Plan B will kick in this half!
