Don't like the roast on Taz but the dissection of our "putrid" defence is quite confronting

I still think the horrible 3rd quarter against the pies was 99.9% mindset rather than lack of ability though

Lachie Henderson

The other issue is with fullback Scott Thompson, fullback-in-waiting Lachie Henderson, and longstanding pillar Michael Firrito, who are beaten over and over again in even number contested situations. Here’s two such instances from that same horror quarter against the Pies.

Lachie Henderson

not even bothering reading this if the journo is stuffing up names like that, let alone saying incorrect tripe like hansen is a full back in waiting.

 

[Quivorir]

Lol, "expert".

 

[King Corey]

Lachie Henderson

Maybe the writer is talking about our 2016 lineup?

People are so quick to judge around here.

How hard is it.

Lachlan Hansen = North Melbourne
Lachie Henderson = Carlton

Also whichever one he is I wouldn't be describing him as a "fullback-in-waiting".

 

[Egga]

Took one look at the 'expert's' photo and expected him to be a flog. Was not disappointed. Hardly a single accurate paragraph in the entire article.

The whole article is based on (a) Robbie Tarrant is personally responsible for any space in our defensive 50 ; and (b) our defensive results v competitors that convenient omit the West Coast victory because of weather(!) and ignoring the fact that 3 of the other 4 games were against last year's top 4

If this *HEAD thinks that Taz has been no good, then clearly they have no effing idea!

..wait, in the HUN its the s**t midfield...now defence...forward line tomorrow and, wrapping for dead prawns next week.

Goldstein next week with a -3.74 in NPA

I think analytics has a role in sport, but there is a need to watch the actual events as well.

 

[Caracas]

The clincher is that at the end of it all, he tips North to make the top 4 this season! Go figure.

 

[Black2Blue]

It's always a worry when someone has a ribbon beside their name with the word "expert". I guess they have to suggest it that way, because it's not a word that comes to mind when you read the scribble. I love the bit where he finds some photos with some space in the defensive half. I hope Mr Roar isn't paid for this stuff.

The Roar is the internet home of floggery and sports nerds.

Would rather drink acid then read anything from there tbh.

Much like BF then.

The you could use your magic carpet to help us win games. But the ball would be fairy floss and the players would be figurines on a game board made out of melted cheese.

 

[see see]

Much like BF then.

It appears the same rules apply:

Someone posts something with which I disagree = clueless flog.
Someone posts something with which I agree = expert.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

How hard is it.

Lachlan Hansen = North Melbourne
Lachie Henderson = Carlton

It's like how I used to confuse Troy & John Longmire. Took me an eternity to get it right. But once I did, I never looked back. Not once.

It appears the same rules apply:

Someone posts something with which I disagree = clueless flog.
Someone posts something with which I agree = POTY.

That's crap TT. BF is the heartland of genuine footy expertise. Floggishness is merely an aberration.

 

[Benno_900]

After all that, the idiot still thinks we can finish top 4.

This guy needs a TLDR version
