Changes for Showdown

[BobaFett]

Can we have Jangofett back?

We are allowed to be critical of players, and i don't like the way mackay plays his footy

 

[FR0GGY]

He has been good as an outside runner who gets a handball receive, no doubt. I have not seen david mackay under a pack, lay a big tackle, sit under a high ball or go back with the flight all year

You do realise he got 10 tackles a couple of weeks ago yeah?

He is a soft player mate, just the way it is

Lol this went well for you. Give up mate, I understand we all dislike some players but to say he's been soft this year is just plain wrong. He's 3rd in our team for tackles, but hey you haven't seen him lay a good one this year.

 

[Bicks]

What utter crap, having easily his best and most consistent year since he's been on our list......not to mention his keenness to impact the contest and the improved hardness to his game...take your blinkers off!!

 

[bluebob1]

sorry but soft is not just about tackles. He gets those tackles because he is fast. but he is soft in other measures like bodylining the ball rather than going with one hand etc i ask the question who is he harder than? (doesnt mean he is a shit player overall - Mcleod is a fairly soft player who is also the 2nd/best best player of the club

 

[PCORF]

Let him.. it'll make no difference. Feel a thrashing coming.

We won't get thrashed. Probably will be around 20-30pts. We will play better for sure as we will be the underdogs. GWS the week after worries me more.

Most of our team this year, if you recon he's been soft this year, I can't help you. He has improved 10 fold in this area.

 

[Ramify]

Dmac is having a great year by his standards.
Gotta admit though, the guy is a soft as they come.

He is never aggressive, never crashes into anyone, he is soft, its the way he plays

So is everyone else in our team bar tex.

Give up mate, you aren't going to sway people into thinking mackay isn't soft, he is as soft as they come

Saying mackay isn't soft because he has improved in that area this year, is like saying Talia has improved his kicking so he isn't a bad kick

Mackay is soft, and talia couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat

 

[FR0GGY]

He is never aggressive, never crashes into anyone, he is soft, its the way he plays

The one we should be pissed at is danger, he's a bull but he's a nice guy, did you see him tackle Goddard tonight just a nice stand up don't hurt the bloke tackle. Goddard tackles danger and he doesn't give a shit what happens to danger. Danger needs some mongrel at least he has the body for it.

 

[Ramify]

So is everyone else in our team bar tex.

Yeah, I reckon even Tex has been a bit soft lately. But Im willing to give him a pass for a couple more weeks.

You cant call Danger or Sloane soft can you? Call them plenty of other things, but I woulndt say soft.

Nah they're not soft, but they are nice guys though

Your all remembering previous years, he hasn't been soft this year, can you think of a time he has pulled out this year?

 

[Ramify]

Cmon bro, the poor kid has been running of 60% capacity and falling ,for most of the year.
Id be surprised in the slightest if he didnt suffer an accute pneumothorax along with rib fracture in round one..

The boy has the heart of a lion, but maybe not the common sense of an elephant.
This bunch in charge are pimping the poor lads body like hes a slab of chopped liver.

I agree with that, the whole team tackles as if they are tackling there friends at training

 

[BobaFett]

He still plays soft, even if he has improved. His previous years are also burned into my brain, so its hard to forget. Time will tell

I'm not just going on this year, he has never stood up for himself

I'd say he's the least of our problems currently, not every player has to be a tough nut and you don't have to be either soft or a tough nut, he's in the middle but he's an outside player and has been doing that role this well this year, its only been a 3 year gap since he last did it well though.

 

[Ramify]

True, but has his tackling been an issue in the past?

GoldCoast look after Gaz better then we look after our own, and these guys are just shaving.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Esp if we let Winguard run loose.

It's like watching Ayres coach in a showdown....same gameplan over and over and not surprisingly the same result over and over.....eventually they'll tag him

 

[FR0GGY]

Yeah I don't think dangers ever been a fantastic tackler, from memory he's the lunge and try and hang on with one arm sort of tackler.

 

[Ramify]

Nah they're not soft, but they are nice guys though

Agreed, but thats the way we roll and has been for a long time.

I ****ing loathe it also.
Must have something to do with our psychological profiling pre-recruitment.
