It’s almost like we are still a young team that isn’t quite there yet
The midfield is where our experience is though.

Sloane, Laird, Keays, Dawson, ROB

They were completely pantsed.
 
He’s played 20 games
Rachelle, 25 games .....Pedlar 16 games

I can see the difference I've commented on ....who do you think is likely to have the bigger impact in a game such as tonight .....you have to say, Pedlar

I'm just so confused that we absolutely bring it and crack in against the top teams and rise to the occasion
HOME ...
and yet these mediocre teams bring a little bit of pressure and we just lay down and take it.... Why does this happen? Do we prepare differently when we play high rank teams?
... and AWAY.
 
Jarrod Witts is a good tap ruckman, makes a huge difference for the Gold Coast. I swear he always gives ROB a bath unfortunately.
 
Agreed, has looked far more team orientated in the last couple weeks. Big steps. Gotta remember guys like him Soligo are in their 2nd year, they are far from finished products and going to be up and down a bit.
Rachele has kicked on far more than Soligo this year. Probably represents their draft positions. I'm gonna back Soligo in still because we've seen there's a quality player in there.

Same ol same ol

Difference between this year and all the previous is a couple nice wins which will likely save his job

And doom us to more of the same next season
 
When you see guys play well in their first year and regress in their second year, it's tempting to believe the talent is being coached out of them.
Or, in the case of genuine talent, they aren't allowed to have their understandably weaker periods without being immediately dropped as they develop in their first few years because they're let down by those above them. We should have senior players who can cover for the developing youth, but the youth are let down far too often.
 
Why are people complaining about suburban grounds? The oppo has to play there too. We wouldn’t have beaten dogs at marvel or Gc at Metricon
Playing the Bulldogs at Marvel is a very different game to Ballarat. Players are humans, being forced down to Ballarat vs playing at an indoor venue in the Melbourne CBD is very different psychologically.
 
ROB doesnt help either.. my god he got a bath from Witts tonight.. absolutely belted.
Not the first time Witts has "owned" him either. Nicks dragged him for Murray to go into ruck as a statement, before putting him back on... and he still sucked.

Next week is time for another bold statement - ROB should be dropped. It's West Coast at home so we should get away with it. But it's still got to sting.

I think that’s a bit OTT, we just aren’t quite there yet at the end of the day.

Nicks is contracted until the end of next year, there's no way he's getting sacked this season unless we capitulate in the second half of the season. However, like I said in the GD thread, we should not be thinking about extending him. Finals are non-negotiable next season and if we're stuck in the same position or have gone backwards, then it can't be justified keeping him on after that.
 
The choice isn't worrel or hinge it's sholl or hinge. Playing hinge anywhere other than wing is idiocy. What does sholl offer over hinge? Other than being short, weak, unable to tackle and an undeserved reputation for being an elite kick.
You may be right - Nicks isn’t doing him any favours playing on someone like Lukosius. Not sure why we need to turn wings into defenders with a perfectly good defender wasting away in the reserves.
