Horrible game.Is his instruction to run sideways every time he gets the ball?
Has around 20 junk possessions.Gets the ball, silly handball to a player under the pump
or kicks it to empty space.
 
Maclure will give him minus votes this week. About 5 touches have been effective or damaging, and it's not really all his fault.
Mitchell knows he's always gonna have a man in a decent position somewhere. And 9/10 executes.
 
Possessions that mean nothing.

Handballs under pressure.

Has been caught 2-3 times. Goes sideways.

Why can't he just go direct.

He'll why can't most of the side go direct instead of sideways, backwards anyway but forward!!!

Can't go direct when there is no one ahead of him in the fwd line.
 
He can't go direct because there is absolutely no one to kick to. Our structure doesn't allow for free fast moving football.

Our key forwards are up on a wing.

Don't blame Martin. Blame the blokes sitting behind the glass.

It's called structure and following the game plan
It's the 2 step back to go half a step forward game plan
Don't need to score to win that's coach genius

Yeah. We see Riewoldt contesting deep full back at least a handful of times every week.

So thus if he's meant to be the last line, who is there to kick to. No other clubs key forwards have to do this.
 
If we had a decent set up up forward, support around pill, players drilled to make space, no worries mate he'd be looking a zillion bucks. Looks about $500k atm.
 
Getting the ball... no back up from teammates is what I am seeing. He is looking around for support, clearly a void, that is why he has been caught a few times.

Brainless comment. 18 *smile* contested possessions for gods sake. He cant help the useless *smile* around him.

...and the game style/plan he is told to follow too imo.
 
Martin has been the only guy all season that has done his job well.
We could only wish to have more players like him.

Is your name Maclure - he was our best on ground AGAIN
 
Dusty should be asking for $900K next contract. This time around it will be different for Dan. Ralph Merkinopoulos is drooling.
