Review R4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Fremantle

[cleanhands]

I agree re the fumbling. Unfourtunately he seems almost like the only mid we have atm whos willing to get in, under and out.

He’s not the problem

 

[Jars458]

Do you think we're conscious of not putting Rankine's hammy's under too much pressure TOO EARLY in the season

We have seen so many Hammy's early season by players .....I can understand that type of management

How does that impact effort, decision making and execution?

I didn't think Rankine was all that bad .....not to his usual elite standards I agree .....but there were many much worse than him

Looking at stats over the last 3 games .....the fall off of our midfield players in the last Qtrs PLUS the sudden dominance of opp mids in the last Qtrs .....frankly it's disgusting, showing class beats effort over 4 qtrs (Berry, Peatling prime offenders)

Rankine had 2 touches to half time & very little influence on the game... so yeah he was ordinary.

Sure there were others like ROB who were worse, but not many.

Kelly's incompetence is as big an issue as Nicks, been saying it for years

Minimum clean out.

Make Roughead Head of Football.

Big Riley in the guts 4 times for 3 centre clearances at pretty crucial times.

Absolute diamond that bloke.

I actually didn’t notice that at the game. But he’s a gun. Could probably play every position

Thilthorpe not ROB.

Also, laid plenty of tackles.

Can tell he is not 100%, but still one of our better players.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Tex’s spray at half time was elite

Yes thanks for clearing up.

Imagine those 2 sharing anything haha

 

[WetCrow1991]

Can we just ****ing smash Carlton on Thursday night and play into some good high scoring form ffs.

The spectators are ****ing starving.

 

[CrowBloke]

Did they cause him to think he was Wayne Carey and fly for a mark in our F50?

Saw that .
Couldn't-flipping-believe it.
Why doesn't Nicks or Dawson or Tex tell him to stay the hell out of our F50 ?

Most pissed I’ve been for a while about this loss. Sad thing is we will win the next 2 and Nicks will say we are back, all because we are playing inferior opposition.

Can someone tell me who is our midfield coach? Whoever it is needs to be let go. To watch Serong walk out of stoppage for the whole first half and not have one player near him is unforgivable. Hat blaming coaches but everyone in the AFL can see we lose the same way every week, surely something needs to change.

Players need to take some blame but what about the coaches? The midfield was diabolical and what changes did we see? None!

If all us fan can see it, why can’t the coaches? Mentioned before that most of our team is out of form which suggests they are confused and the message isn’t simple. Just so sick of the same shit every week and we don’t change players or positions?

Blight wouldn’t have accepted this shit and would have called out these pathetic effort and galvanised the team and set higher standards. Feel that the coaching group have accepted

 

[jirkago1975]

Keays playing on after Thilthorpe won the free cost us the match just as much as ROB by the way. **** him.

We have many dumb players to tell you the truth. Murray the idiot tried to take on 3 players and coughed up holding the ball. Someone else did it too in the last qtr. as big a momentum killer as ROB as we were on top and coming hard

We have a lot of dumb players that continually make stupid decision’s.

Because they know there safe and nothing will happen to them. We've had the last 3 years to get rid of Nicks and co but they keep backing in mediocrity.

I wonder if the players are starting to have enough of Nicks and his C grade gameplans? Nothing ever comes good of blaming the players as a coach when your the problem.

I think Nicks will never give them a roasting after a game and the players are been given too many try better next time crap. all will just blame ROB and Jones for the loss , which they were big momentum killers but we made so many stupid decisions. Also we fumbled so much.

The players need a decent whack about their performance, not may players won their positions overall . Feel we need a mini clean out of players and coaches.

Why would we keep players like Jones and a few other on the list that are clearly not up to it. We are the footy club of excuses. I as a fan and member are sick of them, board need to move them on if they aren’t good enough.

I was going to comment but I left the thread and couldnt lay cite on it

 

[CrowBloke]

Forget Sid Draper full stop, the blokes a flop mcasey all over again

Spot on. Except he’ll play 150 games of turnover footy until we accept/admit he was a bad choice. Jones 2.0.

Both way-too-harsh comments.
I'm spewing --- really disappointed and angry --- about our last 3 games but Draper's only played 10 AFL games and he's still only 19.
NINETEEN; just a kid.
It's way too early to compare him to McAsey and/or Jones.

He’ll be a much better player than Jones. That’s a given. I am very harsh on Draper. Just call it how I see it. But I’m going to take a breath and let him hopefully prove me wrong.

 

[jirkago1975]

I only saw the highlights because someone ruined the score for me before I was able to watch the replay, but what was with that selection.

With Fog out why would you bring Finbar in with ROB? It was one or the other ffs.

And so glad we had Jones ready in the wings ready for a call up instead of Edwards or Dowling. /s. Jones should not be on the list. The club refuses to admit they wasted a top pick in the super draft.

Another slow start where we use all our tickets getting back in and then fall over at the end.

I’ve been a Nicks apologizer but it’s time for him to go.

Said it in the changes thread that we should have gone smaller. Finbar in and one of Billy or Edwards. Strange selection to bring in 2 talls, I think selection this year has been horrible. We need more runners then ruckman in my eyes
