Changes for Gold Coast

[Lach72]

Further to that Weller played permanent high half forward. We got 31 inside 50's for the whole game. 7.5 a quarter.
How many possessions are you expecting?
We had 4 tackles inside 50 today.

Who got those? Weller...every...single...one...

 

[MadDocker]

I'm not calling for him to be dropped by any means. We need games into him and he's a quality player.

Saying he had a good game is a bit of a stretch though.

He didn't absolutely suck but 5 touches, a goal and a few tackles / bumps isn't a good game.

If true, that is an indictment on all of our forwards, truly disgraceful.

If Pav gets suspended for that we definitely have gone soft,hit in the shoulder and shouldn't have been a free kick.

Definitely a free kick in my opinion also a hit to top of the right shoulder is not a reportable offence. Should be thrown out.

Didn't say it was good.

I said he must play again. He needs next week to have the ball coming to him so 5 possessions turns into 15 and a couple of goals and 4-8 tackles.

Mayne has had 2 years to get his shit right...too bad for him

 

[meima]

Can't believe Tab is so bad yet score 1:1 as Weller ok yet score 1 goal. Mayne top notch 0:3.

Ballas and Mayne pressure press no longer as useful as three year ago due to age.

Others in the thread have.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Langdon is everything we need.
Pacy, with endurance and a good kick...

Langdon doesn't want to play for Peel. If we keep playing him there he'll walk from us.

 

[Lach72]

Others in the thread have.

I thought he chased hard, tackled and used the ball well.

He gets 5-6 games in a row, less than the ones who aren't good enough, to show something.

He's shown enough to persist with

I agree, can you tell that to ross, anywhere I stay away who to replace because 2016 will be disappointed year if we don't put afl games to the young player. Ross mentality is his game plan is the best don't need any changes and player keep their place whatever happen . today interview is same answer as last year Richmond.

He shouldn't be because he already has the tank

 

[Nickos66]

To be fair to Tabs, it's pretty hard for a heavily maligned Key forward to look good in a 5 goal game where the ball spent the vast majority of the day in the oppositions hands. In that respect he did well to be one of the 5 at all. He took a couple of marks.. It was hardly a case of him not pulling his weight on this occasion, the other 21 players did him absolutely no favours.

 

[hoss]

I know we had a stinker of a game but its says something when a young player with 5 touches including a gifted goal and some pressure acts is seen as having a good game.

Exactly! I gave Weller a BYB vote but the amount of people thinking Weller and Neale had good games means they are just basing it relative to everyone else ... because those two were pretty shit too. So were Mundy, Fyfe, Pav, Hill, Spurr, D Pearce in addition to the usual scapegoats.

Agree he has good qualities and needs to stay in the team and get games under his belt.

Will be a good player for us long term.

Everybody play badly today for freo bulldog gave another afl game to their young player we stay the same.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

He's ready. He looked dangerous when he got games for Freo last year.

I wouldn't be surprised if Deboer got the nod over Langdon.

 

[sherrif]

Langdon's kicking in the last Peel game was apparently terrible from some of the reports. Id give Weller another chance, but geez some on here seem to not evaluate his play with any degree of impartial judgement. He was terrible today.

Do you think he was better or worse than:
Mayne?
Ballas?

It's hard to isolate Weller's game from the other 21 ordinary players today and judge him for it. I'd keep him in for that bump he laid alone.

For a 3rd gamer he is better.last year we play a lot of youth in our last game why not play some of them against GC , they are still a young team.

Significantly worse. My issue with weller was the extent to which his man ran off him. Yes, there were plenty of others, but I was actually responding to a post that Weller gave great effort. I seriously disagree with that view. Anyway, Im not sure why some here take such offence when you say a player who had five possessions didn't have a great game. Particularly when the opposition players who played on the player dominated to such a degree.

Edit: I get how my posts are coming across as blaming Weller. I agree he had plenty of friends today in having a poor game. All I am saying is that he had a poor game too.

 

[Lach72]

To put in perspective how badly we got spanked, how little possession our mids generated and the resulting 31 inside 50's.

Bulldogs: 498 possessions.
Fremantle: 340.

Then couple that with our lack of pressure and shit disposal, we're lucky we didn't lose by 100
And we got out tackled...
