Hope Kez was not watching coach Killers

Ohh cmon, lisle has a ton more potential then longer, plus pretty much everyone had a Bad game, taking it out on lisle is harsh

In what way does Lisle have more potential? As a ruck? The answer to that is a resounding no.

Lisle as a forward possibly has more potential but the effort you get from Billy is so much more than what you'd get from Lisle. The speed of thought and movement for Billy is better than Lisle, as is his field kicking, hand balling, ruck taps, speed and agility.

If we are to change the forward line to a 2 tall, one medium/tall then there is room for Billy/Lewie forward line. At the moment the coaches perhaps don't feel confident with Brown and Longer as the forward targets, nor do I. Longer is a Ruck who can take a strong mark which is an attribute we can build on for a goal or two a game rotating into the ruck. Having Lisle in the team along with Brown and Longer would make for an overly tall and not so fast forward line. Hopefully the forward line over the next few years will be - Tall Forward, Paparone, Rotating Rucks and 3 smaller types.

Team selection.

Now can we not mention it for the rest of the match.

Why, because they got it wrong.

Adcock has been a disgrace. Has consistently chosen shocking options under no pressure. Having a go at Docherty for not picking up Adcock's own man was disappointing as well. In fact, this seems to happen every week. This guy shouldn't be a leader - he shouldn't even be getting a game.

Which I think has been more than covered in the game day thread.

 

[dlanod]

Looking at the list we had available to us, I don't think anyone who's going to be playing reserves this week would make up a ten goal difference.

Would love Papa to put on 12 kg of muscle over bye week

I have honestly never rated Adcock as the player everyone else has seem him to be. He just doesnt seem like the backhalf general hes meant to be.

I honestly dont know where he would play that would be good.

The Reserves

 

[Dylan12]

The Reserves

The guy is just about at spud status. Absolute liability to the team, yet would never be dropped.

The double standards that applies to team selection is beyond a joke and we wonder why our position hasn't changed for the past 9 years.

 

[Dylan12]

Like many of us said at the time, but forcing Hudson to retire was one of the stupidest decisions the club has made in a while considering Leuey's injury record and Longer being in only his second year.

 

[jackess]

I'd rather put games into Longer.

The knob who was going off at the boys as they were walking off. I name him Hero.

Worst thing about Friday night games is that when we lose, you feel **** for an entire weekend

Swap spud with whipping boy.

His performances haven't been as good as they should be but I believe we're a better team with him in it.

way to piss on simon black's milestone, gutless mob

we played like absolute shit, and our depth is beyond pathetic

 

[Dylan12]

The knob who was going off at the boys as they were walking off. I name him Hero.

Why?

At least he turned up tonight and showed some passion. More than you can say for half of the team that think they are actually AFL standard players.

The guy paid his money, the players robbed him blind, so who could blame him for going off his head, unlike most who clap the boys congratulating them about how great they are.

What milestone game?

Black has played 318 games, Bulldog Murray 333 games.

We are a merged club, yet pick and choose what milestones we want to hand out.

I understand his hurt and anger, but these young men don't need a gob full from someone who has likęly never played at this level to know they were shite. Its not like they would have been walking off thinking it was acceptable until this fellow got into them, they know.

Our depth isn't that bad. We were talking it put earlier in the year. We had too many guys that have played mainly in the seconds and took too long to adjust to the intense, first rate pressure Collingwood put on us in the first 1.5 quarters.

Also not the first time Blacky had a tough milestone match. At least he played well.

Wrong thread sorry

What do they need then? More mollycoddling? More self assurance?

They played on a national stage and absolutely embarrassed themselves, yet you want us to be nice and not hurt their precious, sensitive feelings.

Here I was thinking we were playing a man's game with real men. Clearly not. Gen Y'ers for you, always need to worry about their feelings.

It is becoming clearer why we are as meek as we are when this is the general attitude.
