Review R14: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Hawthorn Hawks

[Trigger13]

Tex is done.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Tex should've been subbed off. And you cant tell me we would've been worse off playing draper ahead of murphy?

Also, that last play that led to the Newcombe goal. What the hell was with our setup and how did we let one lose out the back in a tight game with 3 minutes left? That's on the coaches

Last week the soccer goalkeeper saved us a few times but we lost that structurally for some reason

 

[WeeBlake]

Good
[deep breath]
Curtin
Berry
ROB
Edit - Butts

Bad
Second half
Hinge - absolute stinker, amazingly bad
Cumming - doesn’t go hard enough when he needs to

Ugly
Sam Mitchell, forever and always the worst guy in footy
Tex, it’s the end, now
Murphy: selection, performance
subbing Pedlar instead of a tall fwd
Nicks
Umpire 22, as always

How’d future superstar Murphy go?

 

[CrowinNT]

Our gameplan consisted of us boming it long down the line every single time which worked about 5% of the time.

CHANGE THE LANES AND TRY SOMETHING ELSE WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK FOR THE 100TH TIME YOU ****ING IDIOT

****'s sake

I QUIETLY AGREE

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Keep Rankine in the forward line. He is not a midfielder, alas

Agree. His ball handling was terrible all night.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Nice to see Thilthore ripping into one of the umpires after the game. Someone needs to hold those campaigners accountable.

 

[jello_bello]

Fair to say that miss by TT straight in front in the first quarter was costly.

I'd like to know how many of his 'first for the game' shots at goal miss. By my reckoning it takes him at least one or two shots to get his routine in.

 

[n4sir]

1 goal from Murphy and we win.

 

[CrowBloke]

A good coach gets us that win

It's obvious, isn't it?
Ten minutes into the third quarter I was waiting for Nicks to do something, ANYthing, to turn the tide.
Make some moves.
Sub out useless Murphy.
ANYthing, but no. This is Nicks, in the moment:

 

[Brasher]

Just when you think this club is going to give you prolonged joy they suck you back in with this .

 

[thebirdman 24]

12 free kicks to 2 in the last quarter along with 2 50s against

I’m all for conspiracy theories but maybe our players aren’t clutch and are coached by an idiot to play dumb footy.

 

[aabp1978]

Made the mistake of going to this abomination of a game…horrible stadium, horrible town, god awful game plan, free kick hawthorn umpiring (how many deliberate out of bounds and holding the balls in the second half???). We dont have the cattle to win a final..and we make awful selections to help make it all worse..

 

[Crowman32]

Any chance all the talk about Neale-Bullen’s professionalism and leadership will amount to something on the field?

I agree with this. He was okay at the start of season but since then I think along with cumming they have been average.

 

[pjcrows]

Nice to see Thilthore ripping into one of the umpires after the game. Someone needs to hold those campaigners accountable.

He missed basic goals. Again.

 

[Multiballz]

Curtin building is nice.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

An average of 2.15 goals a game in the highest scoring team playing on the third tall defender is not high praise

Worry about your own team champ

Would have been interesting if Fog had been given a 50m penalty after the Hawthorn player knocked the ball away

 

[StonesThrow]

Can't believe how much of a fumbler ANB is. He continually loses his feet as well. His game against Sydney was good but I think he's been average in the past 5-6 games.

Not allowed to criticise ANB on this forum.

 

[rocket18]

We are at real risk of finishing high enough to re-sign Nicks, while not having what it takes to actually contend

Incoming disaster is looming

Nicks the big ****ing loser has taken us far too defensive because he's a scared little boy who can't handle the big leagues

And I mean that as a personal insult to the man

I want to be clear I am not just criticising his performance as a coach, but him as an entire person

He doesn't have loser instincts

He IS a loser.

Thank **** you're back to normal, was almost going to put you on ignore.

 

[maxlilly]

I thought ump 22 deserved the three votes

no, it was #25

 

[whitey_1975]

Has Nicks ever outcoached someone?

Only himself

 

[MRB37]

Tex is done.

This is usually the time of year he starts his public campaign for a new contract. Interesting to see if he's self aware enough to know he's done or if he thinks he can go again.

History says our seniors aren't self aware and he'll push for a another contract.

 

[Scorpus]

Thank **** you're back to normal, was almost going to put you on ignore.

I can't remember anything from the last two weeks. I think something might have happened

 

[Brasher]

You can't play him and Murphy in the same team.
