Our issues are we are trying to hide a serious decline in pace in some players , most notably Jack , Grimes , McIntosh , Graham , Nank and to lesser degree Cotchin , Martin .

This. Their lack of speed is an absolute liability.

 

[beema limapep]

We need half a dozen players with the skills of sonsie and the outside speed of Clarke between half back and half forward to drive the engine of the team with speed and accurate kicking.

Whilst they have their own pluses, guys like MacIntosh, Cotchin, Graham, Ross, Pickett and even Martin (who didnt play but doesnt chase at all) sacrifice legspeed ditto Riewoldt and even Nank, whilst the fast players we have tried who are fast like Hugo don't have the kicking skills.

You can carry 2 or 3 but when you've got 7 or 8 in the team every week we may as well start 5 to 6 goals behind.

Came on and impacted. One would say perfect use of the sub

LOL - This is hilarious.

Graham's main problem is he has concrete hands. He fumbles too much for AFL level.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Nahh we got superior assistants now x afl coaches ohh wait weren't they sacked lol Who ever coaches our forwards must go. Last season and this we have been terrible.

Only a halfwit would start Lynch, Riewoldt and Ryan in the forward line when it was raining. No wonder it came out of their so easily in the 1st half.

Tell me I’m wrong

Dan Rioli has pace and kicking skills, can't do it all on his own I suppose.

Greatest 7 possession game known to man kind

get your hand off it

 

[Area51]

What's this bullshit about Cumbo having to go to VFL to learn a new role / skillset. Get him in the firsts he can learn there. Selection committee are getting too ******* cute.

 

[Vassp]

We are way too slow to challenge, the jpkids need development in the first and we need to mix it up with our slow/oldies.

 

[Vassp]

In the context of this game and our performance Upto his inclusion, thats not as big a stretch as it seems.

Some say Hall of Fame worthy

Interesting time for the selection committee. Wanting to have one last crack is one thing but ultimately we need to get games into the next gen not only because they are our future and we want to bridge the experience gap/void that will come when we lose Cotch, JR and Grimes, but mainly because they bring enthusiasm and dare.

It was so noticeable early that Cotch was the only guy who was clean when the ball was on the ground... That's an issue. Personally I would play Cotch purely midfield, off the bench, 60% game time, come on, smash into blokes and then go and rest. He's not the sort of player we need forward. Neither is Mansell. Give me Clarke there. Bolton, MRJ and Clarke through there with Cumbo, Lynch and Dusty/Ryan/JR is a much better balance. I'd like to see Bauer before season's end too... he's the most likely to replace JR (of guys on our list) imo.

I'd rather get 15 more games into Sonsie, Clarke, Hugo, Dow, Ross, Gibcus, Miller and 5-10 games into Biggie, Browne, Banks, Bauer, Young than I would having 15 games out of older guys in just average form...like Graham, Macca, Mansell (wouldn't play him forward personally although I can see the thinking - just think we'd get more out of Clarke/Sonsie there), even JR, Cotch, 80% fit Dusty, Pickett. I'm not saying these guys should be dropped at all, just that if their forms drops for a couple of weeks, rest them up and play some kids. We have enough cover with Taranto, Prestia, Hopper, Bolton, Short etc in our mids.

It might cost us a game or two but it might get us closer to a 14th flag quicker... Or I'm just impatient and not respecting the deeds of some of our champtions enough.

It was so bemusing when they were were too stubborn to change when it was pouring wel before the game started - yet they were more worried about keeping cumberland out all year cos of supposedly lack of pressure but at the same time happy to play 3 slow talls in the wet against the fastest rebounding team of the comp. We have become a dumb off field team.

Are you Chris scott.

I've said it a million times and everyone thinks I'm joking, but if dimma let the boys and girls on here pick the 22 we'd do better than the selection committee

I know its a joke but its actually not a bad idea to let us select the team to a degree - the problem is the selection committee are probably mostly the coaches who obviously have their favourites and loyalty, they are likely to some players more leniency and its not always equal (eg some guy is a top bloke). Whereas if we selected players purely on performance, it would actually be a different result. For example, nank would get way more chances before he is dropped, purely because well he captain and probably popular teammate. Unfortunately it means if soldo is playing really well and nank isnt, he not gonna get a equal chance to get selected

 

[living_in_syd]

Oh mate seriously * off. You see a couple of hours a week. These guys spend hours upon hours with the players and studying opposition.

Like mate pull your ******* head in you have no idea

Because he sees more than 2 hours a week and he has ideas lol

Let’s be honest you’ve embarrassed yourself in this thread. Imagine openly believing you know more than the MC. Embarrassing

 

[Growapair]

What is the appeal of Hugo? The mullet?

He is so far behind the guys like Clarke, Ross, Maurice, Dow, etc its not funny. Plays the easiest roll too.

Yep, it's the hair. Reminds me of Ben Nason who couldn't get a game the moment he cut it.

If you aren't on the MC, and watch the same amount of footy per week as the rest of us, by your own logic doesn't that make your views on who gets selected and the MC as equally ignorant?
