The not so weekly 'bottom six' thread.

[Coach]

I thought Assberry was ok apart from a couple of howlers

hmmhouli
21 touches. barely passable for a bloke who runs around by himself
2 c/p geez i didnt see him win a ball when did these two massive instances occur.
1 tackle  ffs coach get it right he did lay a tackle  but who can blame you for missing it. just one 1% even for houli these areas are down.

by comparison grigg who cops it in the neck and rightly so went
30 touches. which is passable for the role.
10 c/p omg how do they do these stats. thats almost double his average.
2 tackles   cant say i saw either and three 1% which doubles his average.

ellis
16 touches very poor for a mid.
3 c/p  wasnt dimma talking this area ip in regards ellis.
1 tackle just not good enough zero  1% how can you win games with mids like this

so much left to too few and it happens every week.

can even throw martin in there again.
25 touches probably for a loose hb mid not enough.
5 c/p  in all seriousness just 1/5 of his possesions contested no where near enough this needs to become more like 40/60 or better.
3 tackles ffs the lack of defensive effort from some of these blokes is just not good enough.  top it off he didnt have  one  1%.

is it too much to ask of our mids that they do all of the basics.
lay tackles run both ways  go get a bit of ball for themselves when needed and simply help their team mates.  these things are constants with these blokes and if they cant improve in these areas they should not be getting games. bruise free footy may win you some games but it wont get you anywhere.

by comparison conca who has copped it in the neck by all and sundry went
23 touches well above his ave.
13 c/p no one can accuse him of not trying to get down and dirty.
8 tackles again he at least had a defensive set to his game  maybe he was chasing tail here though. three 1%
by these few  stats at least conca did more than the others but sometimes the stats lie i thought concs was ordinary tbh. others should have been singled out though.

[Mr Magic]

Agree that Houil was poor. in fact he has started the season in general in pretty ordinary form.
He Grigg and Ellis are our outside runners. All will need to extract the digit in a hurry.
I wasn't impressed by Grigg's game at all despite the big numbers and Ellis quite dimly was ineffective.

Reckon that's pretty close. Get Houli outta the midfield. He's a good HBF and a crap midfielder. All of a sudden all that work we've done on making him defensively accountable etc goes out the window as he moved up the field.

Sooner Grigg isn't in the best 22 the better. It takes one lazy player for a zone to break down. A lot of the time it's him.

Ellis had a bad game but he's at least a good player, so I'm sure he'll bounce back.

Riewoldt. Well I couldn't blame him if he cracked the sads about that game. Made a decoy so whacky inflatable arm waving tube man can become the no.1 target. 

[Diocletian]

Good to see Hardwick finally single out a Grigg non-effort on his weekly analysis video....hopefully he's starting to wake up to the soft, useless prick.

I will ask you this once. Are you from over "there"?

I will ask you this once. Are you from over "there"?

I don't think you need to ask but it's definitely plageurism. That's Ms.T's patent.

Now , back to Grigg , I had to laugh watching the tiges v GC game when Grigg got penalised for hanging on too long to a tackle in the 3rd qtr ?
It was like he thought " holy crap !! I've actually made a tackle stick. I can't believe it !  Now what do i do ?  I'm just gonna keep hanging on and on to this tackle so Dimma sees it " 

[🏅Dooks]

Like a water boatman whos stumbled arse over abdomen into a river of sweet red aortic nectar.

Yeah, your just a waterboatman

At least someone else on here watches the game with their eyes open.

[Coach]

Did you blokes have your eyes open in the 4th when he cost us a goal by smothering his underwear in poo? Had he not been a coward we would have scored and gotten within a goal. Instead they ran it up their end and put the final nail in our coffin.

He is about as useful as t!ts on a bull.

Petterd has an AFL career. The description above better suits you Coach.
