Erasmus needs to spend more time with a kicking coach

Nice tap , Jackson to cerra!!! Oh wait

Erasmus needs to spend more time with a kicking coach

Erasmus reminds me of a bigger and slightly tougher Liam Henry.

 

[Jeba]

Where was this umpiring in the 1st qtr, flipping clowns

 

[FreoRicci]

Hughes is a liability, he should be back in the WAFL where he belongs.

Wilson in.
Want a rejig of the midfield.
Add Young and Clark to the wing.

Lose might as well just die trying instead of this consistent BS.

 

[Freomaniac]

im in Singapore and not watching it? You suckers should just leave the country

I'm rotting here in South Australia.... Close enough lol

Brayshaw just had the worst 30 possession game I’ve ever seen

 

[King Tenz]

You guys remember when we had an elite defence? What the hell happened to that

Henrys 30d game was average last week. This board will see Andy got 30d on the stats sheet and say he was one of our best though, bookmark it

Midfield gets smashed so defense looks terrible

No pressure from midfield. No pressure from forwards.
You could together the best defence in the history of the game and they would get overrun

 

[Vimal Anand]

I can see a bit of collingwood style in carlton today.. when opposition try to tackle, the ball would have reached another carlton player, and the chain goes on until it reaches forward 50... except us everyone tries to play this type of footy.

Another beauty from Erasmus

 

[noise36]

He tries hard but hasn't had a great season by his own standards. The midfield mix is all wrong , maybe JOM broke it?

 

[MadMundy]

Remember a few years ago where we were actually hopeful?

Hamling, Pearce and Ryan down back

Hogan, Lobb, Taberner and McCarthy up forward

Brayshaw, Cerra, Mundy and Fyfe in the middle

Yet somehow we sucked then and suck even worse now.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

You guys remember when we had an elite defence? What the hell happened to that

Can only hold up an avalanche for so long

 

[King Tenz]

True. But I don't really remember our midfield ever actually dominating another team.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

We need a midfield mixup, those 3 won't do anything

Any one of those three will add a damn sight more to our effort levels and commitment levels than continuing to select JOM, Hughes, Aish or Schultz will.

Stanley is a wing FFS, and both Colyer and Wilson can play midfield minutes, or play other spots and free up the likes of Young, Walters or Worner to play more midfield. This rot that we have to somehow keep selecting JOM and Aish because "we have no other midfielders" is just that, rot. And it rewards and reinforces entitlement to selection despite lack of effort and lack of production - and creating entitlement at selection is a list destroying culture.

 

[Purple Jesus]

And what would you say that is? What are you implying?

Want me to spell it out? Starts with R.

 

[mike91]

Their pressure was a lot better, so opposition entries weren't so clean

Might as throw Travis coyler in too.

Surprised Nathan Wilson hasn't played a dockers game this year

 

[Footskill]

Pre bye they were starting to win the clearances. That's what was picked up on, as the reason for the turnaround. Post bye they didn't leave hibernation

 

[noise36]

It was only ever as good as the pressure up the field.

 

[freo_leo29]

It's the way we lose though,

Oppo players streaming out the front of the pack

or we turn it over and their forwardline is open
