RD 15 Comeback Win Rant

Great Comeback after only Kicking 1 point in the 1st Qtr.

Pro's


  • Dawes Great as the FF
  • Pendles 2nd Half was Amazing
  • Swan getting us back in the Game
  • Blair did a Great Job
  • Good Goal Kicking

Con's


  • Disgusting Start
  • Reid's 2 1st QTR Stuff Ups
  • Ball looking out of Form
  • Cloke losing it and Smashing Boak and getting 2 Weeks Holiday
 
I'm confused 15 or 16?
Dave's thrown in a "curveball" there, starting this weeks thread with his thoughts on last weeks game.

Keep up everyone, this could be a wild ride of a thread.:p:D

Done that with quite a Few of the Last Ones. Did not do it after the Game as I was on a Yellow Card:(

I wondered if Reid's first mistake was because of jumper confusion.

I think it was because he was trying to pinpoint a 60m tracer bullet kicking into a gale and misjudged it.
 
Kicking into a flukey wind.
Not his best effort but he did not repeat the error.

What was his other stuff up?

He dropped a sitter of a mark which lead to a goal.
 
Ever the over reaction Dave. Our start was actually not that disgusting although it looked bad, As the commentators said based on the wind advantage we where probably a goal behind where we should have been i.e it was a 4 goal wind and they got a 5 goal lead. We made up for it when we had the wind and then beat them when they had the wind. Obviously you never want to give a team a 5 goal head start but with the wind as it was and the players struggling to adjust (it is always harder and more costly to adjust to kicking into the wind) it wasn't disgraceful as much as it was just below par.

Reid's 2 mistakes where hardly major negatives in the overall performance, it's not like he played a stinker of a game he made a couple of mistakes, all players do it, it just looked bad because they where close together and cost goals. As has been mentioned by other posters and alluded to in my earlier point re: the wind the first was an inexperinced error. Taking on that pass into that wind was stupid, I think he thought because he was keeping it low it wouldn't hold up as much but when your on the last line of defence you can't be taking on passes with a difficulty of 11. The drop marked was ugly but it happens.

The last 2 are con's I wonder if Ball is being held back either by instruction or injury and to be honest more then likely the latter because I think Ball may only know one way once on the field. It is something that needs to be addressed because we do need him playing well.

Cloke was stupid but in the long run the rest may do him well. Give him a chance to freshen up a bit, similar to the rotation policy we have been running with. Give a bit of responsibility to Dawes and Anthony. Obviously it's not ideal but it doesn't mean we can't make the msot of it.

Didn't think Bally was poor. He wasn't good or bad. Just OK but considering he seemed to play a large chunk of the night on the HFF, not to fussed.

He is having his minutes managed to ensure he's right when the time comes.
 
Dave, I'm looking forward to reading your website. Who are the special writers that you're holding off announcing?

No More Debuts this Season?

Being late in the Season I doubt there be any more Debuts and they will stick to there players now.

Bad Luck for:


  • Jarrad Blight
  • Luke Rounds
  • Josh Thomas
But I think we will hear a lot from them next Season
 
Re: Pick 1: Adam Cooney or Scott Pendlebury?

.....what happened to your weekly threads for these kind of things.

It's a News Article and Not my Own Thread I have done
 
Re: Pick 1: Adam Cooney or Scott Pendlebury?

Cooney is currently the better player mainly due to his offensive hurt factor, Pendles when he starts backing his attacking side back in will be the better player.

and the fact that cooney was picked 2 years before pendles
