Game day thread - Tiges vs Freo rnd 17

[Smoking Aces]

I don't see the point in giving mcintosh games like year he is a good team man but *smile* me let's get games into someone that has a future in the game

Like who? Don’t look at easy targets to drop. At least he is involved.

 

[UKTiger]

Rioli 16 disposals, Vlaustin 14, Short 13,. Miller 13, Brown 11, Blight 9. 5 of the top 6 disposal winners. Something wrong here.

It does show that our defence are trying despite no protection from our mids

 

[Terrible yellow]

They are not the problem IMO, Ralph smith, Sonsie, Mansel, McAulife, Graham , etc have given us sweet FA.

Well they are certainly part of the problem being so called senior players, but the rest named excluding mccauliffe who we can cut some slack, are simply not up to it . Add Slumberland to the list!

Seth Campbell invisible tonight ,1 disposal in half of footy.

 

[gold1]

Wow game must be super boring and I missed them. Could swear I hadn’t seen him

and the bad part is that he has taken more marks than our forwards.

 

[Ghost of Punt Road]

When am I allowed to say "sack the coaches"?

Too soon? This group of players is better than their on field performances and are heading for the wooden spoon.

 

[BiddiscombeSkills]

Normally yes you'd drop him but sheesh who else to take the spot? Our small forward cupboard is barer than the bods at the Playboy mansion.

Easy.

Tresize or Coulthard are the obvious replacements.

Smith or Green at a pinch.

 

[TygerTyger]

so anyways, is there a standout , once in a generation pick #1 this year?

 

[tigerlove]

Despite that error from Nanks he has been immense. 21 hitouts, 11 disposals, 10 contested possie (1st), 4 clearances (1st), 3 tackles, 4 frees for and a goal.

Seth Campbell invisible tonight ,1 disposal in half of footy.

Best to go back to VFL for him and Sonz, otherwise at their age they'll take these AFL games as gimmees.

 

[gold1]

Don’t blame the kids. That’s easy.

Look at the senior players. Where is Short?

Apart from Nank we have zero leadership out there.

another Missing Short? 13 disposals including 5 marks.Must be wearing a Freo jumper?

If hes an easy target doesn't that prove the point that he's rubbish and needs to be replaced. Steely green smith trezise Coulthard banks a full game

Not when we are holding it .........................................

 

[dimmauchump]

Like who? Don’t look at easy targets to drop. At least he is involved.

The problems begin with his involvement. He is waaaay past it and should be overlooked to give some others a taste. Tresize and Smith should take his spot or give Banks an extended run on the wing

 

[Smoking Aces]

13 disposals. How many effective?

 

[tigersnake]

Agree with all of it but Nank doesn't have leadership. He just battles hard. Has zero leadership over this team.

Does leadership only exist when a team is winning in your view?

 

[craig]

Short is stat padding as usual, and kicking long to the opposition

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Can Yze put Baker onto Bradshaw
Because he is doing sweet FA

 

[Smoking Aces]

Sorry you are completely wrong about Nank. Way off the mark.

 

[seven]

We use to hunt in packs.
Run in waves through the midfield
Get numbers into the backline
Make space in the forward 50

Now we have this dumb arse zone that doesn’t work.
