Not finding it fun at all campaigner

 

[TheTigerArmy]

We need Knights and Vickery and Edwards..then we will find the goals

 

[Grockadoc]

8.14 to 10.6 after quarter time yesterday. Our lack of accuracy cost us a solid few goal win.

 

[wegetpumped]

It's the crowd.

It's the seagulls.

 

[Tiges1229]

get the RFC psychologist to work with some of the players = HYPNOTHERAPY, god knows they need it. How a player can miss from 15 and 30 meters straight in front is mind boggling , especially after them having all played the game for like 15+ years.

 

[cairo tiger]

It's just not good enough

 

[theflea]

Serial offenders again. Particularly in the 45 degree from the goal mouth. Griffiths, Newman, Cotchin, Martin supposed good kicks. FFS Griff, stand further away from the mark, and Cotch, just run in from a long way and do it on the run. Just kills momentum or pressure.

 

[Richo is God]

From 9 games at the MCG this year, we've only kicked more goals than behinds TWICE. For a total of 97.112

 

[Livonski]

Anyone else have absolute confidence when Lennon had the ball?

To me he just looks confident and kicks with a natural action. The others just look contrived and tortured. Dusty in Q3 was just a shit kick, as was Cotch and Griff, serial offenders. They need to loosen up a bit and drill it into the crowd.

Yes!!!

He does that confident skip just as he is accelerating into the kick, not the I'm-shittin'-myself stuttetry thing.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Cotchin's was unforgiveable for me. Unforgiveable.

You don't miss by that much.

Do we need a new Captain? Seriously. Somebody who has true self-confidence. Cotch has the fear somewhere deep inside him. Need to get Yoda on to this guy.

I think kicking six posters in a game is pretty difficult. Goals are much easier. It doesn't make sense.

Wasn't it 7 posters?

 

[Monjike]

Wasn't it 7 posters?

That's even more difficult. They must be very accurate!

nah just get all the players to watch how lennon kicks for goal ,, his action and delivery is perfect

13-4=9

There you have it, we finish 9th this year

Ivan has a very routines set shot too

1. Mark where the mark is
2. 6 steps back
3. Mark where plant foot will be when kicking
4. 12 steps back for run up

imagine how good it will be when he actually quites the kfc after games and gets fit

 

[theflea]

Another weird Dusty trait- he is a mile worse with the yellow ball than the red one. It appears to slide of his foot more.

 

[theyellowsash]

Cotchin is the worst set shot in the entire league except for perhaps hampson

 

[DrMike]

Which is ridiculous because some of the things he can do with the ball are pure brilliance

Something is in his head

 

[Groupie_]

get him a lobotomy asap

 

[DrMike]

I love what Griffiths contributes but if he's not kicking goals he can't hold his place in the team

We have a kid banging down the door kicking bags wanting more AFL experience, there's only so long you can hold him back
