This has been an issue for years. It staggers me that something so obvious has not been rectified.rosy23 said:
The thing I noticed the most tonight is how bad Angus Graham is. He is complete dud! Make no mistake about it he is a waste of space. We would be better to go into round 1 with Vickery and Post sharing the ruck and resting in the forwardline.
The other thing that concerns me is the lack of any kind of game plan. The only set play I seen was kick it long to our ruckman (Graham) near the wing who couldn't catch a cold in Antartica. Big useless clumsy dud! He will be the new McMahon of 2011 mark my word!
Bring on Derickx and bring on some kind of game plan that includes the following.
Forward Pressure
Spreading
Leading
Sheperding
A ruckman who isn't useless.

The main things i keep reading are turnovers & lack of intenisity,i feel 18 again as we have been making the same mistakes since Hitler last paid his gas bill
Would hate to think that Cuz was such a big influence that they are missing his nous already. He was forever prepared to shepherd and delay releasing the ball before taking a hit to the receiving player's advantage. Maybe the examples of gut running on the training track is having an affect on their efforts in the games.
Here,s a clue.We,ve had kicking in problems since Mark Lee retired,Compounded by clubs knowing who to "Leave alone" deep in the pocket for the kick in.
Yep ...definitely dramatics alright.Tigerbob said:
Geez....sooking over a practice match, and I thought the Bummer supporters were bad.
Face the facts we're still bottom 4 and Dimma hasn't even started his 2nd season yet !!
The only sook I had today was standing around a deplorable looking oval on Scumton's land. WTF have they done to it??
I went today and was pretty shocked at how we played.
We are still along way away from matching it with the better teams in the competition. But what shocked me the most was the lazy unaccountable football we played today.
Apart from our skill erorrs and constant turnovers we still fail as a team to run hard for the ball carrier. Never do we run in groups of 2 or 3 to give the ball carrier multiple options. Its just plain lazy football. We never spread from the contest. Adelaide were superb in doing that today. There was numerous times that they would take the ball from one end of the ground to the other, and each time hitting a target or finding a team mate in space.
Being undersized, inexeperienced or just plain crap at football I can tolerate but being lazy is no excuse.
Only players who can hold their heads up high tonight are Martin, Foley, Grigg, Conca, Helbig and Post.

yeah but when we see the turnovers and undiscipline destory us like it has in the past and no improvment and DH talking about jack to kick less goals the object of the game is to score more than your opponents and with our crap defence turnovers and bad discipline of course were going to see unhappy posts im still and always will be 100% behind the tiges

Glad I could help! :hihi
We'll improve on last years output, make no mistake. At teh same time, we'll develop more players further.
If anyone was thinking finals this year, they need to take a longer look at what we have done the past two years.
We have turned over more players than anyother club. We have drafted as much as anyother club. What more do we want? It will take time. Lot's of people forget the past regimes and the shortcuts and dishonesty that surrounded this club. We have a regime that is honest, works hard and won't take any shortcuts to hinder future success.
Let's take a deep breathe and enjoy the journey.

I believe all these challenge matches are good for getting the oddomoter running on the boys and introducing afl level to the young guys so the style of game etc really doesnt phase me.. its during the H&A season that gets me fired up.
