Game Day Rnd 4 Dogs V Crows

[DD#23]

Walsh has been regarded as a premier stoppage coach through his time at west Coast? Where was that experience today

has stated on numerous occasions that its very important that he as the head coach doesn't pull the reigns off of his assistant coaches and take over.

I punched Campo's card last year, we'll see if he survives the off-season.

Although it seems ridiculous Walsh lacked game day experience today, the Bulldogs used our press against us and he had no plan b for it.

People can say what they want but under sanderson we never saw a performance that poor

One loss and I cannot believe you're seriously talking up Sanderson!!

 

[HKCrow]

Good - Betts, Kelly, CEY, Sloane, When it was finally over
Bad - Danger's goal kicking, Loose tackles - especially in defense
Ugly - Kicking accuracy, Jenkins (WTF!!), Hartigan

Big test next week against Port. At least we won't be going in as favourites...

Can't agree with a lot of those but it's early days. IMO that was the worst we have performed since 2011 round 23 vs west coast.

We'll see what people are saying about Walsh at seasons end, don't get me wrong I have rated the work he has been doing but can't help but notice the changes he could of made to atleast lessen what happened today

Could go in both, were shockers all round, West Coast in 2014 is another one and Sydney 2014 are two more very relevant examples i can think of on top of that.

Sanderson's flaws were mainly off field, highlighted by him having the highest win ratio in crows coaches history.

 

[billy fragos]

Let's see what he can do next week, after all theirs no man outside Port that knows more about them than walsh does

Because we were so good on field in the last 2 years?
The distorted win/loss ratio was thanks to the dreaded "spike" year.

Even Sydney in the 2012 qualifier was a shocker

Sando did lead the "spike" year after all

 

[Smoooothy]

Just on Dangers goalkicking. Watched him when there were a few guys out having a kick an hour before the game. He missed nearly all of his shots to the right hand side.. got the yips badly

 

[Elite Crow]

Oh i think CEY as a first year player can certainly hold his head high

Is Dangerfield worth all the claptrap on this board ......he stays he stays ....he goes we get two quality picks ....AP i don't care based on his output

Where are we getting two picks from and it's just not this board that rates Danger, how is that you've managed to turn a loss into vindication that you know more than the average supporter? Get your hand off it and stop being such a big headed tosser.

We won the stoppages

 

[deeztreez]

Get the 'maturing' attitude that with bit of time we'll be a better side. But with the way the weekends gone, Hawks, Swans etc outplayed in 1st and coming home strong in second half...I expected we'd stand up more late. Guess we're not as far along as I thought..

This is a remarkably stupid post

Sando was a fraud as a coach who failed to install any structure or game plan whatsoever

The only thing Sando installed was.the saying "like Geelong"

If you don't believe me ask the players, does a good coach not do post game video reviews of you win? Maybe this is why we went WLWL for much of the season

It will take Walsh a full season to undo what Sando has left us with and in doing so there will be bumps along the journey

 

[pjcrows]

Not sure our supporter base has the patience to go along for the ride and watch us build to be honest. The changes to our whole club are obvious but the ultimate success won't come immediately.

If you read Sanderson's article explaining what inevitably led to his dismissal you would undertand the post (which I admit in hindsight was not my greatest)

I stand by saying from what we've seen sanderson is a better game day coach, Walsh had no answer for the Bulldogs press. it was evident last week, teams seem to nulify our "more kick less handball" game style. Without a plan B on an off day when kicking is woeful this could become a common occurrence unless we have something too turn too.

 

[Cap]

From the early Walsh interviews I was convinced finals aren't his focus this year.

He also worried about defence.

So he hasn't done much unexpected yet.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

- refuses to tag opposition players even though they were tearing us apart
- dropping cameron despite a clear lack of pace in our forward line
- puts far too much emphasis on winning "ground ball" resulting in a drop in defensive running
- continues to use players like wright despite a huge drop in form
- made vital matchup errors sending Hartigan to stringer and despite having the opportunity doesn't change it
- has no plan B for when teams shutdown our No handball More kicks game

I can go on for a while

Cameron is a young player and after a 3 disposal game needed to find form and confidence in the sanfl

Has no plan B, how about we give him time to get plan A locked and loaded. This plan b stuff is rolled out at every coach after every loss.

Billy we are all great coaches in hindsight and yes todays performance was disappointing however I'm sure the majority would agree that over the first month our performances have been on large an improvement from last year, take last week we would have dropped that game in 2014

 

[Mattrox]

The players didn't start switched on. The character of the team will be defined by how they respond.

They allowed themselves to be over run and succumbed to pressure.

Too many sub par performances across the board.

Most on hear would say that Sando was a terrible match day coach and we could pick a thousand examples where Sando dropped the match day ball

Where was Sando's plan b when we lost 6 home games last year, not to mention the WCE game when we were up by 5 goals and got over ran

How did Sando go with the Ziebel match up last year

Sando was rubbish in many areas.

Walsh has coached 3 wins and 1 loss.

What exactly are you trying too say?
