Druffield, Ibottson and Johnson

[eastfreo75]

Senior players who never stand up when we are down. Never win contests and always get sucked into the ball.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Ibbo has been fine for the most part. Duffield hasn't done much wrong either. Johnson has easily been the worst.

I think you're being a bit harsh on Johnson. Once again he hasn't been too bad.

Should be Duffield's last game though. He should have been stranded on 99 games and made to earn his 100th.

Me and Brades must be watching different games, haha. I've got the crows, Brades. Who you got?

Freo

Johnson once again has had plenty of the ball, but who gives a shit if you turn it over. I've seen him hit a target twice.

 

[chinggis77]

Harsh on Johnston. Has been our best or one of our best so far this year.

 

[paul8241]

I don't watch Johnson with rose coloured glasses, but johno is among our best. Ibbo is doing well an duffield is playing ok too. Try again, any other randoms you want to go after?

 

[dominguez]

Too many cute footballers that play through the backline. Johnson, Mzungu, Duffield and Ibbotson all focus too much on their direct opponent and get caught ball watching. Need a Solomon type to support Mcphee.

 

[paul8241]

Think Mzungu need to go back to the wafl. Needs to get his positioning right and go back to tackling school.

 

[freoextra]

Missed the last quarter but up till then Jhonno was very good with some great contested marks. Really hope they leave DeBoer in the middle the rest really lack his intensity.

The telling moment in the last was when Paul dud field turned over the ball we had all the momentum then they went and scored thanks to tendai's slack marking I thought we had it in thw bag and as soon as that happened I knew we would lose

 

[Scham]

Jonno was one of our best.

Where was all the run that Ibbo was brought in for? Gave us no run at all. Just mark a sideways chip kick unopposed, stop go back and another sideways chip kick. Did anyone tell him that's what he was brought in for?

Absolutely !

Def was a momentum shifter.

Wow a thread custom made for what I want to say .

I am livid. Said a couple of times recently that it's only a handful that are letting us down.

First of all Johnson - Get ****ed he has played real well this year - anybody who doesn't think so either has had a lobotomy or needs one.

It's the other two that cost us that game at a critical point. Ibbotson and Duffield year in and year out are too casual and lack intensity when it matters. 80-90% effort isn't a formula for premiership success.

I don't have to tell anybody the events in question but I will give my take. Ibbotson gets ball inside 50 in shooting position - I know he will get run down because he never puts on the afterburners under pressure - gets run down. Ball goes out of 50 m - Duffield has 10 meters - repeat 10 ****ing meters on opponent gets ball looks up in dream like state and slowly goes to make a pass - smother goal - Adelaide momentum change game over.

Young guys like Neale and even Crozier come in and have more urgency - **** me. And Mundy yeh you have been out a long time but if you don't have the nuts to have a shot from 45 with a vacant goal square then get some before you play next.

 

[Nickos66]

Ibbo & Duff - yes.

MJ - no.

Mzungu's badly out of form and needs a run for Perth.

 

[Rhino1966]

was a big critic of MJ in 2011 he has been great , no make that excellent
not sold on Ibbo but held his own

PD....1 handed tackles , half a$sed efforts , maybe ok at sf but not in the AFL, /nick Suban please

 

[eastfreo75]

They are senior players and they has no influence in contests and provide no leadership. Sure, all three are good on the rebound but when the heat is on they go missing.

I rather play kids than senior players who are front runners.

For me, two need to go.

 

[Schauermann]

Fair call, but who will replace them?

This. Saves me from typing it.

Out : Ibbotson, Mzungu

In: McPhee, Lower

 

[Moo]

Duffield's attempts at tackling were so bad- as we were watching a play unfold, I told my son to watch Duff's tackling style as an example of what not to do ...sure enough Duff made a half arsed attempt which didn't even slow the Cows player.

Ibbo wasn't our worst and due to lack of depth he stays next week IMHO.

MJ - well I just don't see it. He was pretty good from where I sat and played his role well.

Surely Suban gets a run over Duff next week?

 

[Lach72]

Spurr Moo man

Good point

 

[Stronzo]

Ibbo & Duff - yes.

MJ - no.

Mzungu's badly out of form and needs a run for Perth.

Agree with this.

Mz was our worst last week and not much better this week.
