No he hasn't.

What a complete hack piece by a complete hack in Jon Ralph.

Comparing us to Brisbane who started their rebuild at least 2 years before us is piss poor.

BAU for Ralph - poor researched piece, full of holes in his 'analysis'... "5th year of never ending rebuild"

Unfortunately, these types of articles and takes will come until we start winning..

More lazy journalism written to get a response. The media these days is pathetic

He's the 'Captain Obvious' of journalists - so reactionary.

I have to agree with Ralph, this defensive shit is 10 years old. It doesn’t work anymore. When we play fast and have a crack we kick goals and look good.

Sellers is right too.

Unfortunately, these types of articles and takes will bite him on the arse when we start winning.. starting from this week against the suns..

 

[JustaBattler]

LOL @ Mark McLure as for Ralphy he has a very punchable face.

 

[BigFrizz36]

I think that the more pertinent question is "why is Jon ralph such a mediocre journalist"

 

[Stamos]

Definitely pertinent. Is it because he works at the Hun, or did he only get the job there because he is this way?

Probably there to make Mark Robinson look good.

Interesting points! Be good to have it in the Bolton thread

This comment caught my eye

A pass mark for the Blues in 2019 is not measured in wins and losses, but simply remaining competitive in every game and pinching a few when everything clicks.

then this

If you break down Brisbane’s 26-man squad for Round 4, they have spent an average of 6.84 years in an AFL system.
Meanwhile, Carlton’s 26-man squad for Round 4 sits at 5.76 years in the system. It’s almost exactly a full year behind the Lions.
The kicker is, of those squads, Brisbane has nine players who have had five years in an AFL system or less, whereas Carlton currently has an enormous 17.

This is why we get pushed around at the moment!

It's even a bigger margin if we take out Murphy Simpson & Thomas (who are now playing minor roles) and Hodge for Brisbane

Such a nice change of pace to read a balanced and logical opinion piece for a change. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Balance.

You can't attack non-stop for four quarters. Especially with a young side. Players tire more quickly when you're constantly trying to run and carry and play on. Then when you start to make mistakes through fatigue the opposition kill you the other way because you can't chase them.

I feel like we're improving our attacking structures and plays incrementally. I think our defensive structures and players are sound. I don't think we've quite learnt how to switch quickly from one to the other, and that indecision both costs you goals against when the opposition get a fast break, and costs you goals when you get on your own and the forwards aren't in position.

It's become a complex game. Yeah, you can try and simplify and play man-on-man, but most experienced sides are sophisticated enough to exploit that too.

Lose Murphy Simpson & Thomas and we are even further behind

Nice thoughtful piece on the SEN, you really have to cast the line out far and wide to find a logical, well researched article or media statement that provides people with more of an understanding why than the absolute complete crap

It's spot on IMO and what most of us see.

 

[Zuribagger]

That graph really shows we have the lowest 25-30 bracket of any club. We need more grey matter.

My argument that people keep having a crack at me about. You cannot compete consistently at this level without them. It's an absolutely vital element to success in the AFL
