View Full Version : We are physically and mentally STUPID!
Is it just me or are our players Stupid???
Fev having brain fades!
Murphy, Gibbs, Houlihan making skill errors and wrong decisions!
Can our guys tackle properly, with any physicality?
Our coach being too persistant in placing players in awkward positions for them during the game (Kennedy in ruck, Gibbs on the R@pist)..
I hate to say it but Gibbs needs a run in the twos... he just is not physically capable yet against these men.. he shirked and was scared a couple of times during the game.
Murphy needs a run in the twos as well just to get some confidence back, as does Kennedy.
Also another stupid thing... St Kilda slowed the play down found men and kicked goals doing this... we are stupidly just bombing it in hoping for the best!!! WE are so MENTALLY STUPID that none of our players stop and think.
If it wasn't for cameos from Fev, a good performance by Waite, and Scotland and for Stkilda's injury list we would of lost by 100.
Our kids will improve but.. Fev will be older as will scotland, lappin, Kouta, Whitnall...
I'm really annoyed and irritated this evening.

experience
in fevs case , thats ****ing fev. he is like richo - but kicks straight
fev got screwed 3 times in the last quarter, he is a simple, emotional bloke and umps hate fella's like that - both he and richo find free kicks hard to come by because they are the umpires worse nightmare. players like lloyd who have an impatial demeanor will always get better treatment.
but thats fev - whatya gonna do? trade him? doubt it
That one made me laugh
lol and lol again

Our best midfielder playing with no confidence.. sorry to tell you but Scotland and Simpson at the moment are our best midfielders. Murphy is not enjoying himself and it would do him some good to have a run in the seconds.

What, so he can go back & pick up 40-50 possessions & demonstrate the talent gulf between the AFL & VFL. You don't play the Marc Murphys of this world in the VFL. You persist with them because you know they can be matchwinners.

We are a long ,long, long, long way off being a decent side.
For the love of God leave Joey Anderson on the ground longer ffs.

40-50 possessions equals some confidence and some enjoyment... lets let him keep getting tagged and beaten and see the smiles on his face.. we think cos he's a mature kid he'll get over it... FFS he's only 19 played under 20 games would be a learning experience for him to play in the 2's.
Get over Murphy, its one comment, the rest are valid.
Blues are playing like absolute garbage, and our coach is woeful. Im not saying sack him, but seriously WTF is going on.
Fevola needs to be disciplined, end of story, but we can't as our game plan is kick it to Fev no matter what.....ridiculous coaching.
pagan needs a week in the twos.

Agree with alot of what you said but Murphy and Gibbs in the VFL is a joke. While Gibbs is not winning 20+ possesions his dozen or so are precise and perfectly executed.
Is it just me or are our players Stupid???

And the rest of his post....
Replace 'stupid' with immature and you have your answer.
Stronger bodies, more experience, simple as that. More than half the team with less than 50 games. Yes, we're all getting impatient but we can do nothing about how long a player takes to develop so calm down.

*experience. and houlihan is that type of player. trade him for nothing or just accept you take the good with the bad with him
Can our guys tackle properly, with any physicality?
*experience. maturity of body and mind. you want them to tackle men, then you will have to wait till the are actually "men"
Our coach being too persistant in placing players in awkward positions for them during the game (Kennedy in ruck, Gibbs on the R@pist)..
*ackland and cloke where struggling also, he had to try something - what do you suggest?
I hate to say it but Gibbs needs a run in the twos... he just is not physically capable yet against these men.. he shirked and was scared a couple of times during the game.
*gibbs, maybe - just to get some possessions under his belt. but only a week or two.
Murphy needs a run in the twos as well just to get some confidence back, as does Kennedy.
*your crazy into coconuts!
Also another stupid thing... St Kilda slowed the play down found men and kicked goals doing this... we are stupidly just bombing it in hoping for the best!!! WE are so MENTALLY STUPID that none of our players stop and think.
*we tried to bring it in to the forward fifty quickly to avoid the flood, but they flooded way to well. to be honest, if a better skilled team floods a poor skilled team , they are almost guaranteed the win because the poorer team doesnt have the same skill to pinpoint the tight, free man in the fifty - this is the key to sydneys & adelaidess consistent success - ross lyon knows this better than anyone
If it wasn't for cameos from Fev, a good performance by Waite, and Scotland and for Stkilda's injury list we would of lost by 100.
*cameo's by your three best players? thornton played well along with whitnall, blackwell and others - thats just pesimistic mate
Our kids will improve but.. Fev will be older as will scotland, lappin, Kouta, Whitnall...
*evolution man!
