How could this be possible from a side that bloody finished 15th?? If they had won the premiership and were having a hangover i could understand but bloody heck, you'd think they would be tearing out of their clothes trying to improve and show they have had enough of embarassing defeats pre season or not. Errors i can understand as we have a young list. Lack of effort i cannot.
Pretty damning there cracker, and I wasn't there to refute anything you say, but my understanding is that Gus is carrying a pretty ordinary ankle at the moment that could be hampering his performance.crackertiger said:
I do know that his form seems to fluctuate wildly throughout seasons, so I can only hope that his injury and performance improve quickly.
a proper backline setup. (both to stop the opposition,and to launch fwd thrusts)crackertiger said:
running in numbers
crumbing, tackling small fwds.
fwd presses, keeping the ball in our fwd line longer, causing turnovers and goals
improved skills
improved decisions due to everyone knowing the game plan and where to run, and which areas to kick the ball to
basic footy aspects. simple things that are lacking.
you want to see ur team improving in these areas. we are non existant in these areas, let alone improving.....year after year aftr year....
Is it possible today was a bit of a bluff ?
Considering it was at Carlscums home base and they surely would have been taking notes.
Just out of curiosity. Was todays set up mostly a one on one contest ?
A little bit of food for thought.....

Ok....booked seats for annual trip south to watch tigers v saints on April fools day at the G.
After reading a few posts on here I was ready to cancel flights.
However sat my way thru all the posts and with respect to those loyal dudes who went to game and came away with same old same old frustration I did get a few positives which put a smile on my face.
First the biggest negative I read. Gus....WTF...looked the goods in a few games last year but appears to have gone backwards. With the slow development of big fellas this is inexcusable. My patience running out.
Positives.....biggest Foley back up and running...a massive yipee
Vickery seems to have stepped up...big bonus
Dusty and cotch look set for big seasons. Rance in most peoples opinion has looked ok....batchelor, Belgic and conca looking good pickups.
Agree with a lot of posters re the frustration with our kick in strategies or lack thereof.......modern game hard to keep up with but surely we have several structures orbgame plans in placebfor bringing the ball back from kickins
Glad tonites effort happened now as a few would have had a wake up call from Dimma

The ones that actually see the team for what they are at the moment and that is clueless, lazy and weak!!
I actually thought DH said that the players finally started to understand the gameplan and that is why we improved towards the end of the year. Wouldn't you think that after another pre season they would actually have learnt a bit more about the "GAME PLAN". Seems to be either DH has changed it or they all had their memories wiped.

Depends on how you see it.
I am being totally honest in my appraisal, anything in my report that was dishonest?
I just have my expectations in check. I am not expecting Rome to be built in a day and I remember last year when the World was ending and it didn't end up that bad in the end.
Some of the sooking posts are well over the top for this time of year. Reports are Damien was rightly not impressed with the effort, maybe a few of the players saving themselves. Let's see how they respond now. Season yet to begin, long way to go.

You're kiddin surely. You trying to tell me 2 weeks away from the season starting and we decide to put in a crap performance just to throw off Carlton. God help us!
Listened to the game on the net. Same old Tigers with little idea. Still there were one or two positives and after all it was essentially a practise match. Lets hope for a big improvement and get behind the team for Round 1.
Disappointing result.
Didn't expect to win this anyway.....but would have liked to be more competitive.
Good signs from Foley and Grigg.....Riewoldt got through unscathed.
It's just a practice match.....I don't expect them to be world beaters so settle down.
Fair dinkum.
