GAME DAY Tigers V Pies

Now kicked 1 goal in 6 games. If he keeps his place on Friday the cupboard is very very bare. I'd give Cumberland a crack instead of Aarts on Friday night.
Cantstandya, has to go before him, invisible prior to half time. Of course it wont happen.

George is and has been doing way more than Aarts. I know he's a player that a lot on here love to hate, but trying to indicate Aarts with his lack of goals and basically adding nothing else (as others have said his momentum killers have really hit the last 5 or 6 games) has done more than George is crazy.

Neither have been great but George is playing better and has way more runs on the board. Aarts should not be playing Friday, I had him dropped for this one and still stand by that.

Jack plants the ball on the ground, like everyone has done, in every tackle, for the last 5 years.

incorrect disposal.

Pendelbury double hand throws it twice with the ump 300mm away in full view,

play on.

im so sick of this *smile*
No prior. And on the replay Roughead actually forced it out.
The Pendlebury non frees were worse.

Not today, and certainly not for the majority of this year. Yeah, I know Jake has limitations, but George has been putrid, and deserves to be dropped. Cannot defend the indefensible.
 
I can't recall a reigning premier and supposed premiership fancy fall so fast in a season. 4 games ago we were going to beat the Eagles with 10 minutes to go and top 4 was an achievable goal. Now we are on current form the worst team in it and looking at a bottom 4 finish. The velocity of our descent has been bullet train like.

I'm quite staggered; it seems we have lost the will to compete. And our players skills have disappeared; we're quite woeful at the moment.
I believe ALL OF US are thinking the exact same thing Riddles, its *smile* mindboggling the speed at which its all fallen apart, thats what I can't get my head around.

That was one of the most insipid soul destroying last quarters I have ever witnessed live. That tiger team gave absolutely nothing.... just watched pies constantly roll coast to coast untouched... and if we did get half a chance we either handed it back or gave away a free.... just putrid football
The coast to,coast was happening in every quarter....just went to a new level in Q:4. We were in disarray.
 
Dimma may have won 3 flags , but I truly believe it was the assistants who orchestrated the flags. Not having any decent assistants around him have exposed him badly ! I just hope in his presser he doesn’t say “look Collingwood are a bloody good side” like he describes every team that beat us !
Every great coach needs great assistants, no secret in that. We were going to fall apart when Rutten left and then Caracella but we still kept on winning flags. Maybe we have lost too many this year but to say Dimma was a premiership coach with the success orchestrated by the Assistants is pretty laughable really. You could say he had a great team around him but what successful club doesn’t have a great team of coaches?

Agree they carved us up on centre switches in the first 3... but that last 1/4 was a whole new level of rfc nothingness

Yeah, good assistants still need a good leader to pull it all together. It's pretty clear that Dimma needs better/more assistants given the exodus end of last season. That has really bitten us.
 
He didn't did he? They've won 5 games!!

Geez that is 2016 Dimma :rolleyes:
Bothers me to hear he said that also.......... I know these Pressers are straight after the game and a Coach hasnt had much time to evaluate things but you can't go saying that *smile* when the entire wold knows they are a poor Football team, nothing wrong with coming out and saying simply, "our team is a long way off it right now" without giving false praise to an opponent on the day.

Yeah doesn't seem that hard. Unnecessarily praising an average team is very cliche.
 
Undoubtedly. But Jack is also making some really poor decisions when he gets the ball.
And before he gets the ball heprefers to knock on to no one,in yellow and black. Dropped easy mark in last when game was still there to win and Te let in game showed no intensity to grab a simple cyst nark letting scum defender reach around to once away. If this is what he is ground to bring in 2022 would rather pay him out. Legend.
 
It’s straight after the game. He has a script and he just trots it out. They’re not worth listening to or getting upset about, never have been.
I also agree with this because I just refuse to listen to aftermatch Pressers because they are 100% useless and provide zero insight into anything worth taking onboard when evaluating a performance. Made for TV *smile* is all it is and to appease the media for the Billions they pour into the game, nothing more.
