Game Day Round 4, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs West Coast

[a mayes ing]

At H/T:

Aish 2 kicks
Robinson 2 kicks
Rockliff 3 kicks
Taylor 3 kicks
Bewick 3 kicks
Redden 5 kicks

Little wonder F50 entries are 18 to 37

Lucky to be only the 28 pts down

If this continues in the second half...well, seriously; the players are not buying in to what Leppa is attempting to sell and that needs to be discussed at board level

Thats the thing, the players aren't doing Leppa's gameplan and they havent done it all season. Needs to be a discussion on why they aren't doing what the coaches want them to do.

 

[DanT7]

Green for MRobbo hopefully.
NRobbo can provide the grunt

 

[scoman]

Forget spoiling mcgovern, kick it over his head. Adcock had the right idea. Our forwards are useless so kick over them....

Forget spoiling McGovern just don't kick it to him.

NOTE: He isn't on our team!

 

[a mayes ing]

It looks as if we are just waiting for Hanley to recover and get in the team before we start competing.

 

[SizeMatters]

He is one of my favourite players at the moment. He is going to be an absolute weapon or us in the future. I feel the exact same, his foot skills are usually very impressive so I am just guessing its nerves. Would be surprised if he comes out after half time and his disposal is still this poor.

Won't be long before our coaching staff screw him up. Next week he could be playing as a FF knowing our match selection committee.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Wouldn't surprise me if rockliff is subbed, he's ginger and the game is gone

 

[salty parish]

Cutler,Robertson working hard.

And having a go at least. Redden Aish Robinson, time to put In.....poor efforts, just not showing any interest

 

[BrizzyBandit]

He has poor disposals and decision making, lacks any defensive running and for a full time mid only averages 20 touches this season. Most posters bang on about his tackle numbers yet that only shows he is second to the ball... and this season is only averaging 3.3 tackles a game. So really you are only getting a very average footballer overall but when you account for the fact he plays permanent midfield he really is quite poor.

Agree with you Size....
He rather N Robertson in the team than him. You'll get the same tackles... But more intensity and more upside.

 

[cotter101]

You can only drop so many and it only works if there's anybody else half decent to bring in.

O'Brien..

 

[royboys4eva]

Least Cutler is having a go and trying to make the play whats Aish done?

 

[theteamtobeat]

I don't usually jump down players throats but Cutler has just been deplorable, some of the worst skills i've ever seen, back to the ressie's next week and some skills development, love the endeavour but he is killing us out there

Are you serious! His first game of the year, has 18 touches by half time and has shown line breaking ability. We need to play him. His only going to get better. Don't judge a bloke by half a game, but judge him by a whole season.

 

[Eons]

We're still in this, haven't given up hope just yet. A few quick goals and the confidence will rise.

 

[Caiphus]

A kick in that goes out of bounds without being touched (regardless of if it's out on the full) is a free kick from the point it crosses the boundary line,

I thought because it never actually went into the field of play it was considered out from the goal square like stepping over the line. Hmm, I don't know where I got that idea from.

 

[cotter101]

Unleash Green in the midfield.

 

[royboys4eva]

Gardiner and Clarke working their backsides off down back. Credit to McStay been much better this week.

 

[Cockliff38]

West Coast's best player is Cutler. Four goals straight from him.

 

[pulpdriver]

Unleash Green in the midfield.

Can't hurt.

 

[a mayes ing]

And having a go at least. Redden Aish Robinson, time to put In.....poor efforts, just not showing any interest

Looks to me as if he has already gone home mentally.

 

[PTizzle]

We're still in this, haven't given up hope just yet. A few quick goals and the confidence will rise.

I'm far from confident but you could see us lift after Beams's goal - just need to take every chance we get. Zorko's miss stung

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Are you serious! His first game of the year, has 18 touches by half time and has shown line breaking ability. We need to play him. His only going to get better. Don't judge a bloke by half a game, but judge him by a whole season.

Totally agree. To drop him would be madness.
All he needs at this level is composure... Which will come from games.

 

[KissKiss]

MRobbo 20% disposal efficiency
Aish 33% disposal efficiency

Cutler running 50% and at least getting a lot more involved.

Injured Lion Dan Merrett tells @abcgrandstand he expects a tap on shoulder to go forward when he returns from hammy

Nooo

 

[T Factor]

Ok back for the 2nd half...

N Robbo, Cutler and Golby getting a lot of it and at least working hard.

 

[Eons]

I really want to grab Aish by the jumper, drag him off the ground and tell him to **** off. Actually makes me feel sick watching him play.

 

[jackess]

Nooo

This might be the final straw for Leppo. What's wrong with Staker, Leuey and McStay?
