Game Day Suns v Us - 7:40pm - either my time or not

[ABAB]

You think an outnumber down back is a great thing, but also think an outnumber up forward can't possibily hurt?

Sit down, stop, think, then feel bad.

Bruh, it's so crowded in the attacking 50 you can half a contest 4 to 6 and all the defending team does when the contest is half is bomb the ball blindly outside 50.

 

[relapse]

Could you imagine Himmelberg playing that game?

We might have witnessed the worst performance at top level sporting history worldwide

He couldn't have been any worse than Burgess was tonight.

Here's my favourite brain dead

 

[relapse]

WTF one game in not suitable conditions, and surely you have seen enough of Himmelberg

I have seen enough of Himmelberg.

Don't get me wrong Himmelberg is rubbish too, but Burgess is worse IMO

 

[Scorpus]

He couldn't have been any worse than Burgess was tonight.

Burgess took a mark and I would say that's infinitely better than Himmelberg would have done but you can't divide by 0

I’m not going to crucify a guy on his first game for the club in conditions like that

 

[Southerntakeover]

The other team will feel claustrophobic if we allow them the outnumber. Real strategy.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Fogarty did suck but played better after that.

One trick pony? Like identify the s**t player who shouldn’t be playing let alone in the leadership group.

You’ve said you’d drop Murphy after one game whereas you’ve defended him all summer and last year. Talk about jumping ship.

You know you could just admit you got it wrong rather than try and be a smart arse.

Fogarty sucked when he was deep in the 50, and was better when he roamed, and we're acting like this not because of our midfield.

Fog played well did he ?

I’ve consistently said I prefer Murphy over Ned and Cook and that he’s one of last picked

Over time that’s probably stood up , Ned probably deserves a crack as his pre season is as pretty decent , I’m not really a fan . Murphy was below par , not hopeless

Cook is miles off

We actually need a pressure guy with speed up there and don’t really have one on the list

Give Ned a go

No need to carry on like a primary school kid ‘ told ya , told ya ‘

Yeah I told you stuff too

Not about possessions or anything much in those conditions

Just work rate and neutralising contests and being involved

Last half much better

 

[Geoffa32]

His first half was diabolical

Was the worst player on ground in first half , just a lack of ability to get on his bike and give us something , not even possessions but just a contest or presence

Definitely tried hard after first 45 mins or so but still battled which was ok as every forward did , no shame in that

I can see what you are saying.

He tried.

But, he is in the Leadership group. He is the most experienced forward out there. Aint a kid anymore.There was no leadership in our forward group tonight. It was a mess.

In the last quarter when we scored it was chaos ball and Rachele/Rankine brilliancd.

Fog had no impact in that.


A minute to go he had a chance to lead out for a ball from the pocket but couldn't get in front. That ball was well delivered, he just couldn't get to it.


Him and Murphy in the Leadership battalion is a joke.



Yes, easy to say our midfield delivery was poor. But if there is no pattern of forward play or structure, how can our mids kick to an effective spot?

No, it's already crowded so all you can do is half the contest so you structure your loose defender for any hack kick by the opposition team. It's a very common coaching strategy which apparently you don't know lol.

He was well clean on a couple of occasions and we missed him by the Flemington straight

Yeah, totally, so common that everyone watching but you was astounded

Yeo him and Murphy were probably my worse 2 tonight

Enough to drop Murphy and hope that Fog improves

Hinge stepped up as a leader despite poor form in pre season and fog needs to do same next week

 

[Southerntakeover]

We don't even miss in a way that allows a contest, just completely to the other guys advantage.

Fog needs Walker and Thilthorpe. Will never be the main man.

 

[relapse]

He's turning 29 this year, it's not like we're talking about a young player.

He's simply not AFL standard and shouldn't be in the side.

 

[Southerntakeover]

What do you reckon they would have done tonight?

 

[1970crow]

He couldn't have been any worse than Burgess was tonight.

Quite a few posters had Burgess the equal of TT in the short term. What's that say about our pick 2 starting his 4th year?

 

[cleanhands]

He's turning 29 this year, it's not like we're talking about a young player.

He's simply not AFL standard and shouldn't be in the side.

So you would have played Himmelberg ahead of him ?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Of course he doesn’t

 

[Southerntakeover]

Of course he doesn’t

Absolutely no one puts players back down a score with 30 seconds left, but sure mate.

 

[Geoffa32]

Fog is better when he roams because the match up is easier.

He can out body a sub 190cm 90kg guy.

Struggles against a key defender.

Nothing to do with our mids.




Fog is a good footballer. Just not a true key forward.
