Round 15 - the emptying the dishwasher games.

Yep, a bad day for us all considered but it could be worse. Imagine being an Aints supporter. Just a history of continuous, heart-breaking under-achieving, only broken by glimmers of hope that soon turn into further shattering delusions ... bar once, way back in '61.
If there's ever a club that needs Clarko, I reckon its the Saints.
I really like them as a club, most of my friends, Ballarat and country guys, are saints supporters.
They havent had many good years.

They should go all out for Clarko, stop bringing in recycled players and start from Scratch. Gee they were close with Ross Lyon.
 
Dont know about you guys, but I just cant see how Noble lasts the rest of the year?

I mean... Adelaide arent a bad team. I think they are better than their Win loss record. Same as the Hawks.
But gee, North are really, really, poor.

It genuinely looks like the players are not playing for him at all.

Players have to buy in to a coach and the message and method and each other before they really start playing for them, as opposed to playing for themselves.

2016 Richmond to 2017 Richmond and Dimma's Mea Culpa says as much.

The leaders of the RFC opened up as a group they bared their souls to each other and bought in and lifted the club through trust and brotherhood.

Oh look, drop the knees Ginnivan does his usual trick and gets another free inside 50.

North seem like they're playing in a different comp, unless you're playing them, they are completely irrelevant. There's no heat from the media, because no-one cares.

Ump just clarified a HTB against Taranto where there was was very little prior op as 'tried to evade the tackle' which was correct. A slight sidestep attempt, a half HB attempt, a half attempt to alter body posi or spin, thats your prior. Geez if they'd used that adjudication yesterday the result could have been different I reckon. Half a dozen similar tackles we laid went unrewarded. Adjustment on the run or we're just shafted?

I'm not a fan of prior op at the best of times, I think it creates more problems that it solves, and player would adjust if it was canned. but if we do have prior op, and fair enough, the adjudication must be consistently strict on what prior op is, It is not hard. Prior op should only really be for when a player is clamp tackled at the same time as taking possession IMO.

The correct answer is: b) shafted.

Rumours on radio this afternoon that Walsh’s review will produce a terminate recommendation on Noble.
