Review GBU vs Wobbles - Rd 22

[Deaneus!]

Hands up who thinks Jacobs selection was a board-mandated policy to ensure a club legend reached 200 games

Not sure why people say he’s a legend

 

[VSTone]

The way Norf are rolling we'll be back in the 8 tonight, ffs.

 

[Mutineer]

Try last run of games since the bye

And actually Matt's turnover rate since the bye is below his season average 4.5 at 4.37 so I'm not sure where you got your numbers from.

Gibbs 12 disposals

But that's our culture. We rate experience above anything else. Those 12 are worth 25 from a younger player. The likes of jenny61_99 wouldn't trust a kid to give us 12 touches. They trust the coaches wholeheartedly to make the right decision every single time. I bet Jen loved that Sauce got his undeserved 200. Winning doesn't matter. Sauce's 200 is all that matters.

Last year's review really worked well didn't it Chapman?

I hope they get that moron on the radio during the week. Sick of him hiding behind others. Absolute weasel.

But but but we have less injuries this year so everything is going great and the review was a success...

 

[Betts are off]

I’ll put my hand up as one of the guys who were excited to see us try something with the 2 rucks.

Yep, got that one wrong!

Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Crowcast petition may get a couple more signatures this week!

What does GBU stand for?

God that was Bloody Ugly

The sad fact is that ROB would not have got an opportunity this year unless Jacob's got injured. Would still likely be in the sanfl and would have likely requested a trade. Thank you Jacob's for taking one for the team.

At HT of the Roos-Port game we are only 1.9% out of the 8.

Hands up who thinks the word 'legend' wasn't used correctly here

 

[Big Gazoongas]

I really doubt that they are the problem. We highly value the contributions of beyond guys like Sauce, Dougie, Mackay. Our issues don't start or finish at the Crouch boys, it starts and finished at selection culture. But you know that.

Ive been disappointed with their output and skill level. Is it an outcome of culture and football department related issues, can't discount it is.
I expect more from them and haven't seen what we think they are capable of.

Maybe a change in coach and assistants may change this for the better.

I cant also ignore there are more players currently well below what we know they are capable of.....this year has been a complete disaster on so many levels.

 

[Scorpus]

I think we will pin all our failures in the last two seasons on Godden and Hart.

No one else will be held accountable

Club legend in the eyes of the board of course.

In reality he has just been a serviceable player for us. One of our better players in the ruck. Nothing more.

 

[Big Crow]

Good: Got the result we deserved, maybe even got off a little lightly.

Bad: Got the result we deserved, maybe even got off a little lightly.

Ugly: No meaningful change will happen at the club.

Burn the coaches

Burn everything

Sauce and RoB selection the worst of all time.

Tonight again highlighted our lack of tackle power.

We are too rigid in structure.

The Neil Craig legacy of minimal aggression and corralling the oppoistion with systematic defence is still in play.

Points to the selection committee for at least trying something different....

But they should have stuck with ROB and JJ. At least JJ can play forward, and is equal in the ruck to Sauce

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Fun Fact: Matt Crouch is the number one for turnovers in the AFL

Given he doesn't look where he is kicking the ball much of the time, this is not surprising.

Great Big Unco

ROB and Himmelberg is a better choice

The problem is the reason they picked Sauce + ROB together. Despite what they’ve said publicly it is blindingly obvious they’ve made a milestone home match a higher priority than picking the best possible 22 to either win the game or to develop the squad.

This kind of approach is no uncommon for the club, and is problematic in what just happens to be a results based industry.

Fun fact : What's really surprising is that it's not even close to correct. Matt is actually equal 67th on the turnovers list....Travis Boak is 1st and Luke Shuey is 2nd.

Good
Bye
Us

I really hope we lose by 100 next week to the young Dogs. Whatever it takes to push the 30+ year olds, coaches and CEO/Charmain out the door. Hurry up external review.

Where he gets all his "facts" from... out of his ass.
