Game Day Adelade v North; No stupid thread title, just get the job done

[rocket18]

Any clowns still think the player exodus hasn't hurt us?

You couldnt blame the next generation wanting out too, fancing having to put up with our coaches/selection committee.

Diabolical.

 

[hey shorty]

We could legitimately win the spoon. That’s how bad we are.

Nah we won't but we won't be far off

 

[mistylake]

But the Sanfl had a win so dropping Gibbs back and keeping Greenwood and Fog back worked a treat. No point trying to win AFL games..
So I guess Smith and Laird will get dropped this week.

Has an entire team been dropped before.
Eddie and Keath can stay. For leadership lol

 

[Black Saab]

that was Cleveland browns standard of football

Oi I own a Brown's cap and they were much better this last season!! Dawg Pound out!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Calling it, Don will be gone within a fortnight

Never sackings prior to midseason break

If it happens that will be the time

 

[dani_giuls]

We are amazing at pin-pointing opposition players in our forward line.

Honestly, we are the worst team in the AFL right now.

Coaches will go into self-preservation mode this week. Failure to execute will be the theme, game plan will not be questioned

I think you’re giving us too much credit. The worst teams this year have at least shown some fight. We can’t even lay a decent tackle.

 

[Tyls83]

Birdbrain, Campo, Hart etc can piss right off

We could legitimately win the spoon. That’s how bad we are.

It is beyond belief that a side with so many good players could play so bad.

Redbacks vs Crows would be a good game

 

[97-98]

if this is the shit that we dish up, cannot see us beating any club, GC and Carlton included.

Players have no idea and not providing options up ground.

 

[ABAB]

Nup. But just like all our young players we don't expose them to the position they excel out. Poholke is a mid but we don't give him substantial minutes in the mids

Well bring in Gallucci then, not another slow midfielder and also CEY. I thought North was slow team but they made us look like snails.

 

[happy_knackers]

Fek it, just play the kids. At least we can blame the turnovers on them adjusting to the pace of the game rather than the game having passed them by. 3 picks in the top 20, yearh!

He is no mid. He is not AFL standard

 

[Crow_Magnon]

I lost count of the times their players were in front and on the lead. We're soooooo sloooowww. FFS get some pace in the team / squad. We're not even close to a top eight team. 2017 was an outlier. 2018 was more like us I'm afraid. Woeful disposal, terrible gameplan, undisciplined free kicks, absolutely no run. Glad I didn't go to the game to see that! Especially the 2nd half. Every game I've seen we've been slaughtered in the centre, far too slow, even when we tap it, we give it them more times than to our own players advantage. Best hope is that we tank for the rest of the year and get some quality kids in.

 

[footy4ever]

Whatever Gibbs did wrong last week, was Poholke any better than him this week?

No. Nope.

No.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I don’t think any side can succeed with all of Hartigan, Kelly, Talia and Keath in their back line. Those are four terrible decision makers and average kicks. The last two are good defenders, the first two need to go. Add on top Laird in such horrible form and the backline just cannot create for us.

Then our forward line is so slow too. We are a mess at the moment.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Hartigan, CEY, Poholke, Knight, Atkins, Mackay, Eddie (at his age), JJ, Tex, Kelly, ROB would all struggle to get traded to another club

You can add Murphy and Lynch to that convo too, honestly

 

[spexau]

He is no mid. He is not AFL standard

We'll never know

 

[Mattrox]

That was a winnable game. We had them, then we sucked. Coaches have run out of ideas.

Even dropping players is shuffling deck chairs at this point.

I don’t actually think it’s all due to the players. That Chippy short kick crap is completely wrong. It slows transition down so much, who ever thought it a good idea needs to be taken out back and summarily shot.

We have Stengle, hamill and McHenry all playing well in the seconds and with pace. But we couldn’t possibly play three new guys at once

And instead of getting it in long to the forward line to a one on one, let’s chip it around. Go Ben hart you forward line coach genius.

Not really when the vast majority of our top tier are over the hill
