Mega Thread Nathan Buckley coaching Megathread

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

This chip chip backwards sideways uncontested gameplay is terrible. Reminds me of the way Neil Craig coached Adelaide.

This gameplan won't win any finals as when the heat is on and the skills slightly go stray due to the pressure we get punished.

Rodney Eade has to get in Buckley's ear and tell him to stop this crap now.

The bigger problem is the lack of defensive awareness around stoppages.

 

[Maggie5]

I don't think that you are giving the saints credit for the way they are playing.

The commentary from Bruce makes me want to smash my tv
I didn't press red for anti collingwood commentary. Sorry for going off topic,
But if I start talking about the footy ill get a life ban.

The commentary from Bruce makes me want to smash my tv

he's been typically average again tonight. at least sit on the fence with commentary.

this milne toungue-up-ass is getting tiresome, 2 possessions and a fortunate goal....gimme a break, Shaw is tearing him a new arseh*le.

 

[HFF]

It's not the style we are trying to play. We have gone into our shell and played reserved footy.

We need to start taking more risks and quicker options through the corridor because you can see players waving their arms in the corridor and nobody is even taking a look inside.

 

[dubber]

Jesus, it's half time. Wait for full time before bleeding the spleen

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I don't think we have the quality kicks to play tempo footy.

The chip chip chip is bloody frustrating especially in wet weathe football (v carlton and Hawthorn). Old fashion punch, kick, hack it forward wins every time

 

[sloth6]

The defensive zone for their kick ins was not existent. Teams still take the ball out of defense far too easily particularly when it's deep.

Saints were pushing a lot of guys back. Thankfully our players are mature enough to not bomb the ball in

Bang!! Lock silly thread

 

[Thommo 42]

Not sure which is more frustrating, bombing it long to a flood, or chipping it around the back half.

Boys were n a hiding to nothing tonight, as they were basically the only options available to them...!

This!! St Kilda flooded their defence. What did you want us to do? Bomb it in and watch our tall forward line be helpless as their smalls run it out to an open forward line?

Thread is stupid. Sometimes I wonder if people actually watch the game. It's not as simple as "KICK THE BLOODY THING LONG!"

Gameplan this, gameplan that. Hawks and Cats are the best sides in it at present, someone tell me what their gameplan is. Choose one and explain.

Win the contested footy, run hard defensively, spread fast from stoppages, lock the ball in the forward half, win the game.

That's pretty much it.

So for those who say Buckley has a crap or no gameplan, they are basically saying that he is telling the boys to do something other than what you've listed? They're kidding aren't they? Please tell me they're kidding.

Oh and ****ing learn to kick straight

Posting a knee jerk thread like this DURING the game should see you slapped with a red card. Total shit.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

We don't run, and when we do we run over the ball. We are missing key player's but yet we got the shit done without a "best 22" squad. Meh, lazy footballer's get dropped from the MM years

I certainly don't think the "gameplan" is the problem. It's such an overrated term these days. I think winning 1-on-1 contests is more important than being well-drilled. We just don't seem to be setting up very well at stoppages, our crumbers don't seem to be hitting the contests well in the forward line, and our defensive pressure is poor when we lose a clearance.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

So wanted to see that lovely round woman on the fence giving it to Milne to show some "plumber's crack" .. hahaha.. that would be good for footy (as a once off)

Well said, spot on!
