The 1st Minute vs Adel

[Devil Fish]

If anyone wants to see why our clubs fetish for 6ft and under players is killing us, just watch the 1st minute of yesterday’s game against Adel.

Adel take 3 contested marks in one minute!!! Why? Because we are undersized in all 3 contests.

Lazarro, Jy and Luke Mac are giving away 3-4 inches to their opponent.

And Clarko was surprised by Adelaides domination in the air???

We are so undersized every damn week.

And the reality is, other than Wardlaw and McKercher, the rest of the mosquito fleet - Stephens, Fisher, Tucker, Drury, Jy, Lazarro…. - They’re all very vanilla. No explosive speed. No leap. Average disposal.

The list management/recruiting has been an absolute circus.

Didnt the club use a first round draft pick on a 200cm key defender last year?

 

[Zondor]

Yes from Land of the Giants to Munchkin City. We have gone from one extreme to another. :stern look

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

I wouldn't classify Zane Duursma as a mosquito at 190cm, but having him as the static down-the-line outlet is also a tall order, if you'll pardon the pun.

 

[Val Keating]

Yeah I didn’t imagine that

This definitely needed its own thread

I hope this is a series of threads covering every minute of the game

Well the intended response of the thread has been realised with the expected witty post from your good self. :stern look

 

[Reagan Smash]

6 to 24 marks inside 50
7 to 23 contested marks

The list management/recruiting has been an absolute circus.

And yet we dont hear who the problem is or from who created the said circus although we all know.
If anyone is on X/Twitter look up what Heath O'Loughlin the old media manager had to say on the weekend about when all the problems started. Eugene also got involved

 

[chubbspeterson]

We should start a turnovers that result in goals thread next. Be interesting to track them each game.

I actually like a new thread with something specific once in a while rather than all these gigantic megathreads.

[The acurate one]

Not sure things improved much after the first minute tbh.

It's ****ed on most levels, except a lot of our players earn bloody good money to **** around for a few hours a week.
Having people like Stevo & Arch holding positions they had no right to, didn't help us fwiw.
Not many brilliant minds stepped out of Waaia & Noble Park. Champion footballer doesn't equate to savvy business mind.

Just sayin
