Review SHOWDOWN 55

[TeeKray]

A lot is being made of our goal kicking and inaccuracy. But to me it felt like a lot of our points were essentially rushed / pressured behinds or misses from beyond 50 or long range. So I’m much more critical on the way we set up forward and entered our forward line than the kick on goal. They found targets all night uncontested near the goal square. We had a heavily congested forward line with six forwards who got into poor position to mark or win the ball and were beaten by their opponents.

There is an element of this but we also missed plenty of relatively straight forward shots, especially on the run. And our standards for what an easy or hard shot is are pretty warped - you look up the other end and as usual the opposition are kicking lots of easy goals but there's also plenty of hard ones being kicked as well. These are professional footballers, they shouldn't need to be kicking from 15 out directly in front to be a chance of kicking a goal.

Also, 5.18 is generous because it doesn't count the half a dozen or so we missed altogether.

 

[TeeKray]

We really do miss Robbie Gray. How many times would his individual acts paper over the huge deficiencies in everything we do?

At least we have Hornet now. Our sole post quarter time goalkicker lol.

 

[Memphis]

Watch this be Kane blaming Rozee for putting his hand up to play or something and ignoring anything about Ken

The more he talks the more i forget how good he was for the club.

Absolute clown.

 

[Bevoman]

At least we have Hornet now. Our sole post quarter time goalkicker lol.

The obsolete game plan where everyone know you kick it down the corridor to Charlie must change.
As shown last night the opposition also knows the plan and take turns lining up to take intercept mark after mark.

Sat in the cheer squad bay with my mates scrolling my phone for 3 hours.

How was McEntee when viewing him from behind the goals?

Hang it in the louvre.

get ****ed ken

We're still waiting for him to admit all the other mistakes he has made for the last 10 years.

 

[Memphis]

Unacceptable.

The franchise showed more heart than we did. No urgency, no dare, poor hands. Just an awful, gutless, heartless performance.

McEntee and DBJ must go. You cannot have two small forwards who have no goal sense, who freeze like dears in the headlights when the goals are in front of them. You need forwards who dream about kicking goals, who only need a sniff. Our inaccuracy has more to it than those two but we can change them.

If you don’t kick goals, you shouldn’t be in our forward line.

This has been the case for the last three showdowns and it is unacceptable!

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Thing is keeping Ken is pointless. We aren’t closing any gap this year and no guarantees next year (but I have a guess).

He should be Sacked by 9am.

We’re stuck in no mans land waiting for a bunch of stubborn blokes who run our club to do what should have been years ago.
What’s so frustrating is that there is no end in sight.

Keeping him is doing irreversible damage to not only our AFL team but also our player development - look at how terrible the Magpies are, they're going to get slaughtered in the AFL Reserves comp. He's objectively getting worse year on year.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Why do we easily beat bottom 8 teams but can’t get up for a win against quality sides and a bottom 8 Adelaide Crows?

It’s all mental..

I'm all for targeting kern and his obviously inept game plan, but apart from many of us complaining on here about how p*ss weak the kokmeister is I'm not aware of him copping much, if any public pressure.

I'm of the belief koch thinks it's only the white noisers on here that don't revere him, and I'm confident that with the correct type of public pressure he would melt quicker than an ice cube that had been chucked into a barbecue on a 40 plus degree day.

We know Hinkley is an extremely dumb campaigner but he has rat smarts and the hide of a rhinoceros and its the other boof headed campaigner and his ginormous ego that should be the primary target, if someone like stickerman got stuck into him I believe it would definitely be more successful than just targeting kern.

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills... had a quick glance of the main board's 'will Hinkley win a flag' thread, and there's still a proliferation of one cell amoebas on there fervently defending Ken. What the **** man.

Even if Ken isn't the problem, could we at least bottom out for a couple of years and get some draft picks, instead of finishing 2-6 and getting harder draws as well?

Players are schitting themselves whenever we play a game of any relevance. Its like you do it, no you do it, no you do it. Very few stood up and said I will do it.

Poor coaching, poor leadership and it all stems from the top from Koch & Richardson then trickles down into the coaching group and finally the players.

WGT please start bashing heads behind closed doors!

We’ll bottom out in time for the TAS team draft concessions

Our doc is a dickhead as well. How many * ups can this dude make.

Why wouldn't you recommend Rozee be rested? It's a 6 day break. We're only in round 8.

The fact that the guy responsible for the Aliir debacle is still employed is almost more mindboggling than the fact that Ken is still here.

He's just relying on a 20 year old JHF now. Imagine that being your go to, after 12 years.
