[The Nostradamus]

When the heavy tag came should have shifted to hbf

 

[Bugsy Malone]

Has ventured into Boomer Harvey territory this season, the sides most skilful player, getting plenty of it, but having minimal impact. Time to go, Higgo!!

The one thing Boomer always had was impact, made going to the footy enjoyable

 

[Horizons_00]

Gosh he has been average this year

Bit sad to see

We saw first hand last year how vulnerable Clarke was when isolated deep in defence. No one in coaches box thought this might be worth a try????

I wonder why our coaching staff didn't think to use an elite runner in a run with role? Lol

Because its Ryan *en Clarke!!!

Shouldn't be allowed near the ball and will have his name on the Nyhius by his careers end.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Clarke didn't have a good game against us because he's good. He had a good game because we're terrible.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

It would be interesting to see what an accomplished coach would do with Shaun at the moment.

This is such a good point

You think Longmire would allow that to happen?

EDIT - although it does further underline the lack of in-game coaching that happens at this club. Both Higgins and Cunnington were getting tagged and well beaten, yet we don't actually try and move them around. Could have easily pushed Higgins across half back and Atley into the middle, or Cunnington deep forward and throw Zurhaar/Thomas into a centre bounce.

This is not the plan.

Must not deviate from pre match planning.

Trying his guts out, back things just aren't working. He's probably shouldering too much work.

It looks to have spilled over into selfish football because of a (justificable) complete lack of trust in instructions, systems or most of teammates. Sad place to be.

I dunno about that mate, I think he's working to instruction. He has looked visibly upset and depressed in recent times. So have most of the other players.

Hmm maybe. There are now times he clearly burns 'better' options, I'd guessed it as him just taking it on himself to make things happen. Maybe he has been told to just do it all himself because he's our best player, true.

I reckon that can be put down to a counter punching coach combating proactive coaches.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Eight goal assists in the last two weeks, after one in total all season before that. The difference when he plays on instinct and not to a stupid system is very evident.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Any news on the AC or shoulder? How long are we looking at ?

Mark Stevens on Twitter says same injury that Taz got pre season. 5-6 weeks with surgery

At least it comes when one week is the bye.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Maybe down, but never out.

 

[Kimbo]

The voice for media, the head for coaching. He's got options after he retires.

 

[Harris 10]

Disappointing for him but positive is it gives the younger guys an opportunity to go through the middle.

 

[Benj7]

This might be good for higgo have a good rest. If I remember properly he tore his hammy had 12 weeks off came back better than ever.
