Game Day - Tiges V Freo

For a guy that's played 300 games jacks decision making is deplorable.

Balta needs to go back to defence and stay there.

The coaches have stuffed him this year throwing him all over the place.
I’ve been saying all along he doesn’t have a forwards brain and tonight was definitive proof again.

Composure has been lacking all year.

I really enjoyed Cumberland’s game.

But the situation we were in must be discussed in a closing out game scenario. The instructions have to be if in the last 30 seconds of a game if you are within range you take the 30 seconds so only one team can score.

Composure needs to put into the Richmond man Dimma!
Balta should’ve gone through his normal goal kicking routine and kicked it you can’t deliberately take up 30sec it’ll be play on
 
You can blame the players

And I have been defending Dimma

But

A Nank Balta Riewoldt triple threat ain’t gonna kick you a winning score.

A smaller forward setup and some shorter hit ups would’ve sufficed

Balta just has no footy IQ
If he bothered to turn around immediately after his mark, he would have had Cumberland clear running into an open goal, and then he takes too long and turns it over.
Plain stupid and cost us the win.
Most times you can tell the intelligence of some ppl by the way they speak . Listening to Balta speak, tells me he is not a bright spark

Make no mistake we will learn from this........... When Dimma!!
For fu*ks sake you think it’s Dimma’s fault they’re missing simple set shots, or don’t have the brain cells to take the set shot deep in the final Qtr instead of playing on like a headless chook?

The talent isn’t there.

Balta you peanut.
Could have chipped it over to a tiger player 15m out. But decided to take a shot.
It was like he was rehearsing his celebration in his head and forgot he had to kick it first.

Thats 7 games we have been that close to winning.....if we make finals we do have a chance....as long as Edwards has retired.

It certainly was tonight. *smile* lost my *smile* when he took an eternity after taking a mark in the last quarter 70m out from goal then proceeded to kick the ball straight to two tall Freo defenders with not a Richmond player in sight.

His decision making was like a 5 game rookie tonight. Terrible game from an experienced and decorated player.

I’m sure they were the instructions MB, that’s what Balta was doing.
Rush of blood from a young player, something he unfortunately won’t forget in a hurry.
 
Can you tell me who got subbed off Kev?

Miller. You should slow down on the drinking, if you can't pay attention to the most minute details like that. Funny how Miller went off and we shipped a lead, while Nankervis and Soldo offered nothing.
