What is it do you reckon? He’s needed more in defence or they don’t rate him as a mid?
......wow seriously?
No he didn't because our skills under pressure were shite and we didn't convert the set shots for goal.
We have two mids as half backs. Conca have no business being in the defensive half.Can't put to words how frustrating and ridiculous it is how badly we're wasting Cerra. I'd love to see him starting in the middle to start the match, he has the ability to impact games and will develop 1000% quicker that way ffs!
They did, but we stifled their run and led to a lot of dinky back-line kicks sideways and backwards. Ross got the points over Simpson tonight.
Some bigger bodies, better understanding between our players and some straight kicking, and we win that.
It's called pressure.Didn’t lose by 10 goals.
The Eagles were massively off.
Our skills are so poor I honestly despair we’ll ever go anywhere.
So mind bogglingly putrid
Mundy is our most skillful player. We needed another. And Cerra is off half back. The longer this goes, the more Cerra will want to leave. Just play him in his position and move on.Yeah that's a cop out from Lyon re kicking.
Even if you only improve the effectiveness of a player's kicking by 5% with an increased focus at training, surely it's worthwhile at least trying. Particularly when poor kicking has plagued us for so long.
Effort only gets you so far, as we saw today.
Think they rate his disposal very highly and think he's better off rebounding. In reality, he played one very good game from half back, but that's it, just one game. At any other team he'd be in the middle and coaches would be drooling over him. Just defies logic why we won't put the classiest 19 year old in his original position.
I was agreeing Simpson outplayed Ross. Besides the game plan, I believe our skills under pressure and set shots for goal are shite and Ross has to carry the can for that.Nah Simpson outplayed him again. Chose a smarter, well structured plan.
Ross likes efforts and hardness against that plan.
Dude. Quote first, then your reply

We miss S Hill run off half back. Conca and Cerra are NOT half hackers. Definitely not Conca.
Jake the mussCan change the thread title pls
Because we’re scrambling, trying to put pressure pressure. West coast just have more energy. They know who’s going in and who’s waiting I50. Kennedy kicked a casual 3. He did nothing else all game. But 3 goals. That’s what a forward should do.I was agreeing Simpson outplayed Ross.

We have Hogan up the ground trying to tackle, McCarthy putting pressure on and Tabs everywhere. No wonder why we can’t score. Defensive pressure is pushing our players out of their comfort and talent zone.
Ross shouldn’t be coaching this list.
Well the game was there to be won. But 1.9 with this defensive pressure gameplan. Remember a certain game in 2013? That’s nearly 6 years ago, yet doing the same thing over again with different list.Almost switched it off at 1 goal 9 behinds. God that is frustrating. Tabs one 20m directly in front made me want to punch stuff.
Overall I'm happy. After quarter time we didn't let them play, that is a good sign. If we do it for 4 quarters next time we will win.
If you're melting over that loss, IMO you have you expectations all out of whack.

They’re not as good as everyone think they are. But have to have a good pressure with a game plan behind it. We have one but not the other.Positives:
Negatives:
- Mundy - an ageless performance;
- Brayshaw - kid's gonna be a week in week out machine for us;
- The effort was there all night;
- Cam Mac continues to kick goals and does it under pressure;
- Hogan is looking a bit better each week;
- Lobb got beaten in the ruck but was pretty good around the ground;
- Ryan plays like a 150 game veteran;
- Alex Pearce is an athletic freak.
I don't think we're a million miles away. I suspect we'll be in the pack that's between 6th and 12th.
- Goalkicking;
- Conca and Colyer give effort but their skills are suspect under pressure;
- Tabs - so good a times but FMBD he's frustrating;
- Hammer getting injured - we missed him badly;
- A few times when two of our boys contested the same ball.
What did everyone think of the Eagles skills in the last quarter? They were s**t - multiples kicks out on the full and more than a couple of sorry I kicked it over your head mate. They also struggled picking up ground balls in the second half. Funny what pressure does.
