News Ross the Boss

[Reginald Perrin]

But Fyfe hasn't been.

Bang, straight back to the middle for Pav.

Says you.

You know I can't see why I'm crucified as supposedly having a vendetta against Lyon for trying to discourage people from getting ahead of themselves when the Harvey bashing continues unabated.

 

[The Joker]

If Pav had better delivery he could have kicked a few more. Too many kicks over his head that gave the defender an easy spoil. Hill didn't get enough of it nor Mundy in clear space. Lets face it, without Fyfe we are too easy to stop, not enough damaging onballers.

Yes but with the Crows basically playing two guys on Pavlich there had to be a different structure up forward, (I mean what happens when Pavlich retires in 5 years time ,) sometimes the ball must go elsewhere. But in saying that we were beaten in the middle and that's where things needed to change

This.. you can have all the structures you want, but if your ball use is cod ordinary it isnt going to mean much.. our kicking which has been a feature regularly deserted everyone.. either direct turnovers or kicking not to advantage.

Also we have too many players who lack ball class.. we only have 3-4 players who i would call always one grab/touch players.. too much workmanlike cogs without the enough of the cream to get it done

The skills were down all day but with 15 minutes to go we were still only 14 points down so yes structures are everything, ball use is a massive advantage but if you have no structure then you are just waiting for the inevitable.

 

[Clay Davis]

Pav wouldn't be getting played in the midfield because Mundy is available. Duh.

Mundy was available at the start of last year. Pav played in the middle from game one.

 

[Nickos66]

No hammers and nails here Reg, just questions out of curiosity.

Speaking of, who was injured in 2009?

 

[Ghost Pig]

Bumped. Ross you are the boss, you have my pass mark.

 

[Arcassius]

Yup - pass mark

Could have tanked this game but took it on - anytime, anywhere - love it

 

[Proud Bogan]

Anyone who continues to believe that this appointment was the wrong move by the club really needs their head read.

Yes, it is speculation, but I don't believe that Harvey could have manufactured this win. Even with Pavlich in the side. (as a midfielder, no doubt).

Best move by Freo eva!!

 

[Freo2012]

Yup - pass mark

yep - he doesn't compromise anything for total endeavour in every quarter of every game - that is a champion attitude

 

[Arcassius]

Team is playing with greater understanding - had a few things go our way (some awesome bounces) and a few things not (the umps) but overall the direction is positive

And if we could just stop bringing Harvey into the conversation every time, we could all move forward.

 

[DR JAY]

Best coach in the comp. My Carlton mates are green with envy.[he was an assistant there once] The 2 steves & Bondy got it right. Harves good bloke but could not acheive this with Fyfe & sandi out most of the year.

 

[Purple_Passion]

Fly in, get the points, fly out. No Biggie

Ross is the Boss!

 

[muckypup]

No Pav ... Don't need him. probably rest him again next week?

 

[Proud Bogan]

And if we could just stop bringing Harvey into the conversation every time, we could all move forward.

The comparison is relevant given the shitstorm at the time of his appointment.

Finals were regarded as the passmark.

Well here we are today!

 

[Kepfan]

Great coach funny as hell!

Yes, the passmark has been achieved and greater results are within reach, well done Ross. Let's leave all the other rubbish in the historical dustbin.

 

[Scootyb]

100% he is the man

 

[Freo Shark]

Nice one Reggie

Done

 

[peppy la pew]

Along with that shocking old jumper

Deep breath Reg, I'm just messing with ya

 

[Nickos66]

What's the mood like down at Dockerland re: the boss? Any regulars here?

Just curious is all, or have they deleted their hatred of him from all memory?

 

[muckypup]

'We bank the 4 points and move on.'

YEAHHHHHH BABY!!!!

 

[FreoRicci]

Bang. Thats a massive statement heading into the finals. Took the first 11 rounds or so to get the game plan instilled with a few important wins in that time. After the break, the game plan is now instinctive with the team having the 2nd best points against (1651 pts), whilst gathering a 7-1 run home. Huge pass mark in my opinion.

 

[chinggis77]

Another great insight into Ross the Boss and how his uncompromising approach is such a breath of fresh air. Why did Harvs and Connolly never take this approach with guys like Ibbo...

Ibbotson, who will play his 100th AFL game against Melbourne on Saturday, was dropped after Fremantle’s loss to Hawthorn in Launceston this season and sat out the season’s first derby.
Earlier this week teammate David Mundy labelled Ibbotson a player of exceptional physical ability who had occasionally lapsed in his application.
Ibbotson said missing the derby had helped him overcome that trait and he still reminds himself of it now.
“I missed a game earlier in the season,” he said. “Ross said to me he thought I could give more than I was.”[/QUOTE]

[Reginald Perrin]

Ibbo can still give more than he is. Clancee and Crowley would be better examples of where RTB has done the biz.
