Cmon Pete, nail this one

 

[Beerfish]

poit

 

[mike14]

Wright is such a good kick

 

[rumply]

That inboard Merrett option should not occur in an AFL game

Looked like their talls were taking over for a minute there but weve got way too much space.

 

[rumply]

really dont want to start yelling again, no red time please

 

[JayJ20]

Do Brisbane even want to be out there today?

 

[DapperDon]

Surely someone told him the time?

 

[rumply]

GUYZZZZ

 

[nylexbandit]

How are we so ****ing bad at red time execution. How did we not have someone communicating the time left. JFC

 

[quotemokc]

Surely Caldwell is aware of the clock and takes a shot?

 

[MightyDon]

just Kick the goal

 

[nylexbandit]

Surely someone told him the time?

It's ****ing disgraceful in terms of what it suggests about the coaching in my view

 

[essendon]

Have a shot Caldwell.....that was so dumb.....

 

[mike14]

Do we not have people telling them how much time is left? Pretty stupid all around then

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

What in the actual **** Caldwell you spud

 

[Mootsy]

It feels like our team have transformed into poised, Caracella/Blumfield/Solomon type players within 2 weeks, lol.
well, lol.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Do we not have people telling them how much time is left? Pretty stupid all around then

The umpire told him ffs

 

[TheGrizz]

Someone needed to get the message out to Caldwell haha

 

[sameolds33]

Have your shot Caldwell - or move it quickly. Such a waste of opportunity, you just know we'll regret it.

I'd love you to explain how this is pinned on the bloke sitting 200m away

 

[Bombermania]

The players should be smart enough to estimate how long is left.

 

[essendon]

Can't get over that......actually comical....at least Merrett knew what was going on and gave em spray and rightly so......just dumb

 

[Yoda_]

The thing that has continued on from recent weeks is the unselfish football we are playing. Give the handball to a team mate in a better position, hold onto the ball and take contact if we don't have an option. We are taking the game on and with the ever growing confidence from recent weeks, we are slowly getting the rewards.

I was very despondent at times but I kept seeing Zach Package say (paraphrasing here), stay the course and it will come together. The last month has seen some significant improvement across the board and not just the over reliance from our top handful of guys.

 

[Mercurial89]

I think we are probably spending so much time on defensive transition and ball movement that we don't train red time scenarios enough, that's the only polite explanation for why we are so poor in certain situations.
Just a lack of awareness.

Our coaches just don't seem switched on sometimes.
