He is notIt kind of feels like like you’re arguing for the sake of arguing
Our first set up was poor.I was pretty disappointed in our start yesterday. Not just in general effort levels, but also in the way we lined up. Our forward six was all three talls + Rayner, Cameron and Zorko. It isn't a particularly strong defensive unit that can set a tone for a game in terms of effort. I said as such to those around me and sure enough the ball exited our forward 50 without any effort in those opening exchanges, on one occasion resulting in an uninterrupted chain resulting in a goal.
Next move was a change up to our centre bounce group, and despite Zorko being invisible during the warmup (I could have sworn he wasn't with the midfield group) in he trots for an extended stint on the ball. To say I wasn't in the slightest bit surprised to then watch a centre bounce goal against us and a continued poor start would be an understatement.
I just can't see how Fagan and co think that these were good decisions. Why not start with McCarthy and or Ah Chee forward to set the tone pressure wise. Why, for goodness sake is Zorko seen as an answer to our midfield woes?
Our first set up was poor.
Zorks time as a midfielder is over.
Honest question…. If you don’t enjoy watching the lions play then why do you apparently support them? Just curiousi just can't see where we can guaranteed to go up another gear. We've seen the complete game we are capable of only a few times this year. Never a full game but a quarter, or in the case of the demons game, a half of scintillating football.
Pies, Port, Melbourne even the Blues have shown they can play their top brand of footy much more consistently than us. I like watching the Pies and Power play as you know they are pretty much going to play great football. The median Lions v Pies v Port games i have the Pies ahead by quiet a bit and then Port.

Put a positive spin on what you have said…. We haven’t seen our best footy this year and we are still sitting second on the ladder…. Possibly a game clear come the end of the round.
His year's been solid and importantly he's become far more a team player . Once we sorted his runup and he realised he didn't have to kick the cover off the ball his finishing has likewise improved.I think Hipwood has been playing & contesting very well, he's been heavily involved this season, to the point where his finishing can be the difference between us winning by 6-7 goals or us winning by a kick off the back of 12 point turn arounds from quick rebound goals against us out the back.

some posters have limited comprehension. I don't get it either. I literally have this undesirable that follows me through Bigfooty name calling and big noting themselves yet more often than not we have aligned opinions. It's one of the most bizarre breakdowns I've experienced and I do hope they seek help.We're here to analyse our game /players and support/make suggestions/criticise or whatever else you would include in an honest discussion.
Not directed at you Lions08 but to all the others who have a crack at Size Matters I've never had a problem with anything he puts up , don't sometimes agree , everyone has their own methodology of supporting a team , no iron law that says you have to be positive. You're allowed to take a negative bent , some people are perfectly happy being that way.
As for what he said on this occasion I think it's a valid point.
I don't want this to become a back and forth but for the record I'm not saying we're not very good, nor that everyone else sucks. There are a lot of good teams, and there's a hell of a lot of pressure on every one of them to keep winning and finish as high as possible to firstly make the cut, and then to maximise their chances come finals.
first 18 years of my life was abuse which has resulted in my brain being wired in a critical manner. People would have no idea what I do or how I am in my day to day - I've worked my arse off and made some risky big financial calls and am now reaping the lucrative and fulfilling rewards. All thew while giving back to community particularly in the First Nation space.We're here to analyse our game /players and support/make suggestions/criticise or whatever else you would include in an honest discussion.

That is exactly how I view sport, it's entertainment with an emotional attachment.Sport eh. Beats movies and tv every single day of the week.
Crows are a good side and are going to be unlucky to miss. Their percentage is a pretty good reflection where they are actually at.
I’m not too negative about the performance tonight. As mentioned Charlie, Wilmott and McLuggage were great. I don’t agree with the negative talk on Rayner and Dev. Both were decent enough tonight.
The one area we were totally dominated in was clearances for about the 4th week in a row. I agree with 3KZ in that we’re an inside midfielder short, but Lyons isn’t the answer. Matho needs to come in. He will absolutely kill it in there as part of the second mid rotations. No brainer for me.
So did we work out who was on McAdam in that first half? Thought it might have been Starce..

But hey apparently I'm having complete mental breakdowns, am abusive, and a complete flog. Some people here think I just wake up every day and go "hmmm, how can I troll Bigfooty today?"
This forum is a place for me to come and discus footy, read opinions and provide mine. What do I get out of it besides being told to go kill myself and to continue "trolling"?
I just do my own thing and certainly don't fall into the group think that can often, for right or wrong, filtrate these types of discussion forums.
