No Oppo Supporters The Melt Thread

Whether you were at the game or not, Sheridan was BOG for us, along with Neale and Dawson.

Time and again Sheridan got the ball and delivered it to contests and not to advantage side. Handballs and kicks mostly he was error riddled. To say he was bog is a reliance on stats not on looking at what his disposals led too.

Take a look at the replay. Handballs bouncing before the target or just behind the players. These don't go down as errors but they kill momentum and hurt the team. Take a look again tell me what you think.

who from Peel plays that has better disposal than those that played today aside from Langdon and A Pearce though?

Play them with Neale and mundy to improve not with player skill equal or worse than them.

 

[Banker]

Weller has no chance of remaining in the team because of his disposals

MDB will be a straight in.

Tabs is supposed to have this massive engine yet he only spent 69% on ground, with the worst been Z.Clare at 47%

 

[rodney hoo]

I know you love Clarke but is time he go to other team and try , will be a waste with freo.

Let's hope Appness come good because when Sandi goes if Clarke gone who takes Sandi place. Clarke was poor today, I like underdogs a bit, lurch last year Clarke this year.

Weller was awesome. Showed heart and those tackles were great. He needs time to really adjust to the AFL pace and the way contests work, but it won't take long – guy is a champion.

If he doesn't play next week WOW.

I'm pretty sure that's because Lyon didn't want all 4 of them on the ground at once, not because they were tired.

It'd be nice if we at least just started with them...

And then we can look at Tucker.

I think freo game plan and over reliance on Sandi ,stagnant Clarke.

Tipetts ruck work with Sydney is a joy to watch.

I can't wait for the footy season to start!!

Hickey looked good for saints today as well, leaders with good hands.

Ross said in the presser that Clarke injured his knee in the first bounce.

I will be next-level ropeable if he's dropped. Surely... Surely he won't be... Surely?

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Ross clearly deflecting in the presser. Reckon he is fuming behind closed doors at the midfield.

 

[meima]

D.Pearce clearly the best I seen him play for ages . Mayne also quite good just bad luck that goal umpire rule that as touch. Suban another blocking performance, c.Pearce good kicking slow decision making .

He generally puts all the info out there from the 1st question, even if it wasn't asked in the question, then proceeds to deflect and pot from his seat for the remaining 7 mins depending on the severity of the loss.

One of the few times I agree with you SA

He alluded to the team being mentally off today. Do we need to get the hair testing kit out, or has Collingwood still got it?

 

[hoss]

The lack of criticism in this thread for Hill, Mundy, D Pearce, Spurr, C Pearce, Mayne, Ballantyne, Walters etc etc shows clearly how many players were well down. Everyone was basically useless, but I wouldn't expect anymore than about 5-6 changes for next week.

 

[Nickos66]

but I wouldn't expect anymore than about 5-6 changes for next week.

That's generous.

On previous form, I personally wouldn't expect anymore than 3 changes.

Clark/Griff - one out
Gu- deboer
C Pearce - a.Pearce.

Neale didn't play well. He even said it himself post-match "possessions aren't everything." All our top possession winners were awful today, with perhaps Sheridan being the exception.

Just think it might be different next week. Sandi and Johnno will be certainties and it's hard to imagine how Mzungu, Clarke, C Pearce and a few others (pick from Mayne, Suban, Barlow, D Pearce, Tabs) could keep their spots.

 

[Boppo]

D.Pearce clearly the best I seen him play for ages . Mayne also quite good just bad luck that goal umpire rule that as touch. Suban another blocking performance, c.Pearce good kicking slow decision making .

All mentioned above not good enough to win an AFL title. And people are calling for MDB to come straight in. Save us.

There have been some exciting footy played this week even by losing teams..we're doing circle work and turnovers.

Can't you get my hints of the opposite ?
