Crumbers

[The Doctor]

Can someone tell our brain dead match committee to do something about forward line crumbing?

How many times do we see the ball bombed in long to a contest only to se the ball spill and we have no one at ground level for the opposition to run off with it. Every bloody time.

On one occassion Brad Johnson flew against Darcy for a mark and spoilt him. Why wasn't he at his feet looking for the crumb?

When will our coaching staff sort out this most obvious problem?

We either kick it long to a one on one, except the one for us is Robbo or something, or we all go up at the same times.

Or we just don't look and bomb it long...

Doesn't just happen in the forward line - but when we kick long out of defence - everyone flies - or stands just off the contest, but no-one is judging where the ball may go. Certainly not being pro-active

Either Cooney,Faulkner or Bowden have to be told they grab the ball at all costs when the crumbs come.

 

[Cyberdoggie]

well our delivery is f*(^*( terrible so what do you expect.

we are to scared to back our selves through the middle so we go wide along the boundary, take a mark then we stop and wait, and by that time the opposition is well back in posistion, we have no options or leads so we just bomb it to a pack, it turns over and we are in trouble again. That's the usual story at the moment. Round 1 against the eagles was the only time we looked aggresive and dangerous going forward, we were quick and went through the lines to find jade on a lead. Sure we were weak in defence and midfield accountability but at least it was exciting. The way we play now is just demoralising to everyone.

Small forward from Werribee who is on our rookie list.

Well if he is fit enough they should give him a go.

There are plenty ahead of Jimmy.

He's not one of those super quick little crumbing forwards. He's more one of those guys who is a fairly big mark for his size and knows where the goals are.

Anyone on this board interested in David Rodan for next year?

No the draft pick we end up using on him could be used on a kid who can actually play.

If we need a crumber, we have one available in Cameron Faulkner. In his 'quota' of three or four games he has shown his crumbing skills when permitted on the ground.
Regarding James Condos, he has been in the reserves for Werribee of late so don't think he'll get a call up in the near future.
Think we'll beat the Dees simply because none of the pundits tipped the bulldogs.
