Dont know if it is just me but it seems that Greg Tivendale is the most "mowed down" player in the AFL. By mowed down, I mean takled from behind as he is running the ball through the backline/midfield.

Does he:

-Have a huge wax buildup in his ears?
-Not listen to team mates telling him he is hot?
-Not get told by team mates that he is hot?
-Think he is faster than he really is?
-Not look around enough as he is running with the ball?

I am a fan of Tivva but with his skills, he shouldnt be getting caught with the ball as much as he is.

Our list is full of poofters.
Tivendale and Bowden are Queen Bees.

Fact is it happens to him and it shouldn't be.
Wether it's his fault or his team mates -who cares,
It shouldnt be happening,which raises the question,.
What does Frawley do about things like this?
Obviously not the right thing as it always happens.

Did i mention the FACT THAT THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS.

LMFAOOO Ox, even poofs hit the packs harder than some of our blokes.

The most mowed down player in the comp is Richo. He would double anyone else's tally for instances of getting caught holding the ball.

Why a lot of our players get mowed down is simple: no awareness and no support from team mates putting on a shepherd.

We hardly have any blokes willing to do the one percenters. Or the more pronounced things either...

Why is that ????

When i try to work it out i get really perplexed.

It comes down to either the players having no faith in spuds
coaching on the day
or
they are heartless peas.

Go figure.

Maybe he gets "mowed down" because he is trying to take some risks and create some play. I would prefer to see more of our players making mistakes trying to play attacking and creative footy rather than chipping it around until some-one coughs up the pill.

i have has this discussion before in fact you are piszzing me off.
if we continue to play the likes of a kellaway we will contine to be medicore the guy does not have the skills to hold down key positions or fring positions like flanks. his disposal is poor he gets cought and fails to rebound like we should. he played all assuies as a bloody goalkeeper you fool in a hybrid game of garlic footy.
gezz get a grip.

Ok so you want half the side sacked right now. Fact of the matter is it can't be done till seasons end so what do we do? We can't drop half the team. The list is just not big enough. You think there are a dozen or so players who would be stupid enough not to know they are on their last chance? You think miller at least is that stupid??

So what do we do? Continue to say this guy's a hack and that guy's a hack or do we get on with life and take it a week at a time as they say?
