15 out and 2-4 in?

That is the sad bit isn't it!
We have so many injured players that we cant even drop continually poor performing players!!

 

[Nickos66]

In: Pearce once his ankle's better. Walters with some show of form? Bucoo if he goes well this weekend?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Think there is a few players before Mzunga that need to be dropped. I forgot Crichton and Crowley were even playing today they were that little heard of.

Crowley's a real worry (again), if I'm not totally wrong he was used as a defensive fwd on Dal Santo for while there too and couldn't even do that job all that well.

 

[Farrand]

Crowley has been a favourite player on mine for a while now but I think it's coming to the point where he cannot be defended anymore. His shut down roles have very little effectiveness and he seems to go missing more often then not. It might have to be a prolonged spell in the WAFL at this point. Perhaps Schammer would be the better option.

Seriously year in year out the same shit. Is a senior player at has most 2 good games a year. And these are only good compared to the usual shite dished out. Does he ever stand up when we are playing shit? He only plays ok when the team plays well . Slow ,inconsistent kick , inconsistent mark.
We have de Boer as our tagger/poor skill guy now. Gets dropped doesn't play a game and comes straight back . 9 poss from a senior player . Harvey wake from the Crowley illusion- "snaps fingers"

 

[Lach72]

Johnson. Out out out.

In: Rod, I.

 

[E Shed]

What does it matter? Seriously? They don't give a ****. Why should we?

Thought Mzungu was woeful today. Disposal was worse than the majority of the team and then he was pushed out of position by Schneider too often.

 

[punkdocker]

give #22 a chance

Well that's it then, we're going to have no umpires next week

This is true. However, he gave a lot more then some of the others out there today. This is his second game and he was getting himself involved. He lacked support from the senior players and really shouldn't have been some one racking up major possessions.

I'd prefer to give him another chance then to see Crichton, MJ or Crowley out there again with that insipid, disgraceful performance.

Its not like we have anyone knocking down the door, demanding they are picked.

Quick scan of the WAFL stats, Pitt with 11 poss in the fourth, Walters with 6, Anthony with 6. Schammer with 20, the only decent outing, but we all know how he uses the ball.

Crowley and Lower in the firing line IMO. Its damning on Lower that his best game came against Port. He shouldn't need the movtivation of playing against his old team to get up. He should be able to get up and play like that every week. Both are huge frontrunners.

People need to get off Mzungu's back. He was the only one providing run. Whenever we get pumped like today, I can guarantee the stats show we are well down on handball receives, indicative of our lack of run/willingness to run. At least Mzungu was running, providing options and linking up play.

Pav is past it. He can still contribute, but he is waaay past his best. Can hardly pick up a ball beneath his knees. Maybe he needs to reshape his body, drop a few kilo's to get back his athleticism and touch.

 

[punkdocker]

pav's strength is over head, and he is better able to lead the team and direct play when he is played to his strengths in the forward line...please please please move him back there Harves

 

[Lach72]

Harvey made some questionable moves today. Lower and Palmer barely played in the guts

This!!!

Started with both Palmer and Lower on the bench...wtf!!

Some selective memory here not just by you but many.

Mzungu was at 67% efficiency today. Most on this board however overlook Fyfe's questionable disposal. Made numerous clangers quite a few which led to direct goals.

Make no mistake, Fyfe is a gun, has elite awareness and vision, his disposal, particularly by hand often lets him down though. That will get better no doubt, but he is playing with less than 60% efficiency for the year (52% again today).

I'm not saying Fyfe isn't a gun, I just want to point out that Mzungu was by far, not the worst offender out there. Christ, just go watch Crowley every game to see how we have much worse ball users in our team.

By the way, for those criticising the umpiring, the frees were 19 to 9 - our way.

 

[apuchar]

first changes I would make is to get rid of the coaching staff. Smashed in the midfield, backline leaked like a sieve, forward line non existent until the game was lost.
