Title: Dimma post-match
Post by: one-eyed on March 15, 2014, 10:57:54 PM
Dimma interviewed post-game by Sam Lane ...

* Inefficiency going forward was the main issue that cost us the game. Just 19 scoring shots from 60 forward entries. Not good enough. Conversely they scored far too easily from fewer entries.

* Overused the ball early on. Too many handballs and overusing the footy which kills you. Their pressure was very good though.

* Dusty non-free and Ablett free, when they said they would be be cracking down on ducking for frees hurts, but that didn't cost us the game.

* We'll dust ourselves off and get back on the horse for round 2.

Hardwick makes a point of the fact we over handballed but to me it looks like thats how the players have been programmed, its handball first and kick second. The problem is that in a high pressure game by the time you decide on the second option its under more pressure than it otherwise would have been which results in turnovers. With the apparent difficulties in handling the ball I think on most occasions a kick would have been the better option. Noticed a few players wearing gloves, again as in Cairns we failed to come to terms with the conditions.

Get on the Christian for Charlie if the umpiring last night was anything to go by.  He obviously spends a fair amount of time in the umpire's shower/toilet performing all manner of tricks.

The newer players were not up to the pace & over used the ball, Played the man instead of the ball. Watch the replay it all makes sense. You will never be in the contest being behind. You cant call for the ball & not lead fast or forward expecting miracles like Vickery & Rewoldt do. Then standing behind watching your opponent run away in numbers when 3 of your players are bitching it was my mark & getting up off the ground.  That goes for the backline as well it was that shocking. Give credit to Bluey who has progressed with his players & they pressured us to making stupid mistakes & chipping the ball around to overuse it. We were flat & big headed

Put down to the fact we picked 3 KP talls in the forward line where the game was always going to be humid and sweaty. The delievery into the forward line was no worse than GC.

GC had numbers behind the ball and we bombed the ball into our FWD line all night and they had numbers back to rebound, if we picked 1 small forward in the line up maybe we could have crumbed some of the mess.

Also Vickery playing behind was pathetic. Both by Vickery and the kicker. If he's behind... kick it over his head.

So you never seen Martin, Cotchin, Edwards, Ellis, & others in the forward line  ::)

Post by: TigerMonk on March 16, 2014, 12:41:44 PM
Our forwards are lazy & its as simple as that. Come down to Morwell & watch Dmac & Johnson play & run down players who have 20 metre head start that they have the power to tackle them the opponent goes off injured. That is the type of footballers we should have in that forward line. Cotchin does it & always puts his body on the line but when he is constantly giving 100% he has not much left to bring the player down unlike Martin who runs around as a receiver & does very little.

Absolutely correct Monkey. The forwards were not good but we never gave them a chance either by just bombing in. We didn't look on song from the start. Looked tired. slow and reactive. Maybe been in a heavy training load to we peak when we play the blues? I'n not really worried. I don't think we will be the only team embarrassed up there this year.

Post by: tony_montana on March 16, 2014, 05:08:21 PM
Its hard to deliver when theres no target. Jack and Vickery hide behind their man and don't come at the ball, instead they expect the ball carrier to be able to roost it a lazy 60 so they can run onto it.

On the few occasions we had an open fwd line I noticed our mids were able to deliver it quite well.

Stop making excuses for your lovechild dimma

Fair dinkum Dimma

Delivery into the F50 made it tough for Jack & Ty

If you playing from behind and giving your opponent a 2 metre start then then the delivery has absolutely nothing to with it  :banghead

That's true WP but our delivery was just as bad and when you combine the two it was no shock that we couldn't kick a goal to save our lives.

lets not lose sight of the fact gcs had dixon,day and lynch in their forward line. were they too tall i dont think so ithey went in with bloody good structure.
we werent too tall, riewoldt vickery and griffiths as the ruck forward is ideal structure.  structurally we went into the game spot on. what was wrong is our talls just werent good enough.
humid conditions or not they should have had a field day and didnt give a yelp.

we did pick sml and medium sized forwards. s  edwards, mcdonough are sml forwards, petterd is a medium sized forward. did we play any of them forward for any sort of significant time.

IMHO our delivery into our forward line was a thousand times worse than theirs.  Compound that with Vickery and Riewoldt playing like ass and it was no wonder we couldn't kick enough goals.  And like Claw said, their 3 key forwards had no problem handling the ball so there is no excuse apart from p-poor play by our guys.

"Our ball use inside 50 wasn’t to its usual standard.  Overall, it just wasn’t clicking for us tonight," Hardwick said post-match.

“I thought we were a six out of 10 tonight.

“We just have to play a hell of a lot better than what we dished up tonight,” he said.
