Game Day Rd 7 - Brisbane @ GABBA

[Footskill]

C'mon Pearce hasn't been that bad. It was serong fault for kicking back to him..his intensity been good. Cox is the one..

 

[westy1]

No. It is mind-boggling, isn't it?

2 clutch turmovers cost is goals during the qtr
Another on the siren almost cost us another
Dumbass brigade captian doing his role

 

[muckypup]

14 points down lucky not to be 34 points down. Keep going, it can turn quick.

 

[Mudd]

That’s a terrible take.
Coaches can’t just hold their hands.

they certainly can to make sure they train under the right conditions to have them prepared for gameday.

 

[Van_Dyke]

We simultaneously should be down by far more, but should also be a lot closer. If our players were actually capable of not making basic skill errors and fumbling at every chance, we’re in this up to our eyeballs

 

[BettercallSaul]

Doesnt JLo coach skills??

Imagine how bad they would be if he didn’t!

 

[Lach72]

Ethan Hughes is the modern day Garrick ibbotson

Welcome to me three years ago

 

[Sean_09]

I would actually delist Hughes after that kick. Holy *.
Get Erasmus on and take this liability out of the team right now

Hughes surely playing his last game. Lack of skill, composure and intensity again

 

[36Crazyfists]

Johnson looks a winner, great first quarter.

Poor skills. Too many 3rd/4th Round picks and Rookies.

Need some high-end draft picks though the door who can mark, kick and handball to a target.

There's been some 3rd and 4th round picks and rookie picks that have solid kicking skills.

I can probably have a starting 18 on freos past players on that

 

[benfica]

Harsh on Ibbo. Ibbo was actually good.

Well very similar looping kicks

 

[MrDanggazz]

If we can somehow tidy up the skills at quarter time, we are very much in this game. The running game is working, we look a lot more dangerous when moving the ball forward just skill issues costing us.

 

[Footskill]

They playing much better..just the fumbles costly

 

[Madas]

F*k it’s painful
Every time they do something half decent it’s quickly followed by a mind boggling WTF moment.
This team

 

[apuchar]

I like what they are trying to do, just not doing it very well. Need to spend the year bedding it down.

C'mon Pearce hasn't been that bad. It was serong fault for kicking back to him..his intensity been good. Cox is the one..

Both had their moments. Pearce should not have taken so long to dispose of it, and then should have hit MJ on the chest. Always going to ground every contest too. Never keeps his feet.

And cox is soft as today. That goal line effort was disgusting.

 

[Footskill]

Pearce 1 on 1 been good

 

[DMan 11]

This inefficient method is going to burn us out . If we fix the basic skill errors it will look better.

Driz looks cooked and it’s only the first qtr…

Ball movement certainly seems a lot better this week. Pleased to be seeing something different so credit there. Skills have been abysmal. Easy, easy marks and 15 - 20m kicks not being executed. Couple of lazy efforts too, which is one thing contributing to the poor skills.

Yep - game plan myth busted

If anything this game has done the opposite in terms of proving the gameplan has been the problem. Skill level is poor, I agree. But the way they are playing today is absolutely nothing like how we have played this year and I think we would be 4-2 or 3-3 (would certainly have beaten North) if we had tried to play with this intent every week.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Still an awful awful kick from AP. Cox should be copping a massive bake though correct, he’s cost us one goal and mm away from costing another

 

[MadMundy]

The amount of handballs is disgusting

 

[mattis117]

The melts are a bit over the top.

Thought the quarter was OK, two things really hurt us, one is fumbling, as soon as one does it the pressure comes and it becomes contagious. Second is because we're a young team we don't stick our tackles, way too many tackles getting broken that usually shouldn't be.

 

[E Shed]

Yeah like the intensity & run. Skills not so much .

Be nice if the umps paid the occasional free when Brisbane drop it when tackled, which they did many times in the Q.

 

[Taylor]

I count two goals against Pearce so far due to simple skill errors.
