GAME DAY Tiges V Eagles

yep. we lost it with skill error. The vlastuin kick out was every bit as bad as bachars against freo back in the day, even in context

the dangerous tackle in front of goal WAS the WORST decision ive ever seen in my life,

but we lost it with 1. really *smile* foot skill, 2. having to fly return to WA twice in 9 days and 3. being forced to play an inexperienced ruckmen against THE best centre square ruckman in the game.

plus Yeo demolished us in the guts from start to finish.

I dont think we will win the flag.

premiers rarely make everything look that hard in June.

even our easy goals looked hard

Yep. Our easy goals looked hard.

That’s where we’re at.

*smile* this uncontested chip chip precise possession game we are trying to play. It's not us. We don't have the players for this. We need to stick to, and double down on what's won us 3 of the last 4 flags. We lost this game coz we tried to slow the game down. We had more marks and more uncontested possessions than the eagles FFS. We won't win the flag this way.

Problem is the game has evolved and teams have worked us out. We tried the old game plan against Melbourne and Cats and they just absorbed and then blew us away. We need to evolve but Dimma needs to realise so does the playing list. We just dont have the quality to change mid season. Our list was built on chaos ball but that plan is done and dusted. Thats why i cant see us winning it this year. Just too many dumb footballers to execute a different game plan

We are in the premiership race up to our eyeballs.
Terrible loss but many factors against us.
Go home, regroup, get mojo back and wind flag.
Mark my words.
We win this.

We’re 1-6 against other top 8 teams. Something is off this year.

you said it, why would you go back to Sydney? Pretty dumb.

There’s a growing problem that’s been emerging throughout the season: our ability to execute. We miss targets, we miss shots on goal, we fumble too much.

We’re just not clean enough in this new environment.

We’re nowhere near as pressure intense as we used to be and we don’t have the class or execution skills to cover for it when we don’t have an edge to our game.

Correct. Our edge is the fast swarming forward handballing game style. We'll drop away quickly if we go away from this

Learn more from your losses & we’re learning big time this year. As many others have said, uncontested sideways ball for the sake of it? Why? Creates nothing. Apart from the Bulldogs game, we’ve beaten no one in the top 8. Why not show more concern with being thrashed in centre clearance every week? Why not think about winning clearance & giving forwards one on one opportunity?

Few other gripes - really disappointed in our lack of ability to stick tackles & non existence of pressure by small forwards. Aarts had a shocker, Castagna dreadful (one good game for the year) & Rioli who knows what’s happened to him. Surely as soon as Stack gets fit, he takes Rioli’s spot for good.

Agree with the Caddy comments - can’t play on the wing & no longer best 22. Think Baker is better suited in the middle, offensive role - fumbling far too much down back.

They hit targets going inside 50
We don't.
Caddy is finished
Not sure Rioli can hold his spot.
when Balta has a bad game he has a really bad game

No Caracalla McRae or Leppitsch has a lot to do with it
Thought Balta was fast he’s always metres behind his opponent Don’t understand why he’s beaten so often this year
 
Dimma lamenting the skill errors and lack of composure. Shitful decision making.

Massive issue for us. Been that way all year.

Did Rioli play?
Thought he was nursing Cotchin back to health
 
Not Jacks fault as three times in last ten minutes we popped it up for that flog Barrass as that is all he is good for. Free kicks down again 25 to 15. That last mark by Kennedy must have travelled about 10 metres.

The guys have been away from family for 2 to 3 weeks. Makes a big difference in attitude.
