Analysis What's wrong at the Cattery?

[catempire]

Haha - I reckon the club said to Tommy-off you go, join the circus, snowboard all you like, bungee jumping is ok, join the standing buddhas...

Yeah, probably.

 

[romeoh]

Yeah, probably.

Of course, if you are on the money, then it would suggest the club has become way too complacent and deserves all the criticism aimed at it.
And maybe that helps explain our issues at the clearances(am serious here)

Wherefore art thou sarcasm detector romeoh?

I don't know, and neither do you. The injury was a day to day thing and still is - and they suggested it wouldn't get worse than its base level of restricted movement. I get what you are saying about it sucks to have injured players and while he was out there it stopped another player from getting games. However I just can't accept arm chair drivers that saying it was mishandled full stop. Perhaps the worst it was was the Freo game and such he didn't play. Perhaps it was just poor timing. Again, its your opinion to say it was mishandled but we are not in the best position to criticise them for it.

Exactly my thoughts too

Uhuh oh what a tangled web we weave... or the trouble with being a smart alec is it comes back to get you!( I mean myself)
I can't work out how we are so badly beaten all the time in clearances and stoppages-I was suggesting that maybe, as an extension of our discussion, the club has an arrogant attitude towards it-remember last year there was some talk about we don't need to get the ball, we can get the tackle on the ball player? And McIntosh? said the other day 'we don't care if we get the clearance'. Maybe they have some other crazy idea about it that I haven't fathomed yet? But not sure it comes from a good place!

Haven't read this whole thread, but in answer to "What's wrong at the Cattery?", it's pretty simple.

More than half of one of the greatest AFL teams of all time have retired or departed in the space of 3-4 years.

Amongst the departures, arguably the greatest full back ever, arguably the greatest midfielder ever, arguably the greatest tagger ever, a AAA ruckman, and several elite midfielders.

They've been replaced by a mixture of players salvaged from other clubs and kids taken from the local under 13s teams who will be good but aren't at the moment.

It's not rocket science.

he absolutely adored good ol' Westy. Can't let him go unless he continues to insist he would have made Sandilands work for his money in the QF.

I suspect Freo would have won the game anyways, whether by 1 goal or 5 unfortunately.

Do you have any evidence for your assertion, or is it complete bullshit as normal?

This isn't rocket science, it's brain surgery!

No, it's rocket surgery... isn't it?
