2014
Week one
Tyrone.
Chaplin.
Newman.
Grigg.
Petterd.
Houli.
-
swap Houli with Reiwoldt. Houli was solid
-
Only six?
-
Houli last night :chuck
-
No he wasn't..
his first half was very good, 2nd half fell away like a lot of our players. Far from our worst
-
:lol
-
Can't afford to have both Houli & Grigg in the same side.
-
I don't think Houli had one contested possession. He is allergic to winning his own ball, sticking tackles and staying on his feet.
-
:sleep
-
You're right tony. He was really good last night and should be All-Australian. We acknowledge his good work (last year was reasonably good for most of the year) but you should acknowledge his bad games. pee weak last night.
-
Where did I say he was AA or really good?
Simply disagree that he was putrid and mean exactly what I said, not our best, not our worst.. pretty hard to understand hey
-

No need to be a smartarse. Didn't say you did mate, I said he should be All-Australian.
You said he was very good in the first half which is laughable.

You're a good man tony. We probably won't be agreeing on Houli's game though ;D
-
or Rance's or Astbury's..
but we agree on Petterds and the gardeners :lol
:cheers

I thought Assberry was ok apart from a couple of howlers ;D
The Gardener :chuck

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.
-
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. :banghead
-
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 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 " ;D

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

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

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.

No I must have completely missed it in my review, whatever it was, was immaterial compared to the upteen cluster stuffs our forwards made of 58 x I50s ::)
-
Ricky Petterd's AFL Career Epitaph: Delisted from Melbourne, also played for Richmond.
I mean, just lol
-
Petterd was in our best dozen. Didn't have a great game but far from our worst. Some just aimlessly pick a player without genuinely looking at their performance. Can guarantee he will play against Carlton.
-
I crossed the white line at senior level, Mr Magic. Highly doubt you ever did. I'm entitled to express my opinion. You have bagged many blokes on here and I didn't see you finish off your posts with "but they're actually champions because they play AFL".
BJ, a bloke ducking his head when going for a mark is as embarrassing as it gets, especially when one of our boys had done well to protect Petterd. Late 4th quarter, Ablett got a goal from it.

I might come across as a dick to you but I know what I'm on about. Petterd isn't a good player, he didn't have a good game and he absolutely shat himself late in the game and it cost us. What is this "far from our worst" rubbish people use to defend players? So what. Doesn't mean his game was acceptable. I reckon Chimp, Lids, Thomas & Hampson were our only players who should have walked off the field thinking their game was passable.

dont rely on stats #17. i mean grigg had it 30 times and 10 of em was contested. yet his game was pathetic.
for what its worth i didnt put petterd in the bottom 6 but despite the stats i thought his game ordinary. we just cant afford to play so many glass half full types like him.
petterd is typical of yrs gone by. gives more than a development player but just doesnt have the quality to take us anywhere.
if we want a mid find a way to promote miles. if we want a forward get some games into the likes of ohanlon and lennon. if we want a defender plget games into mcintosh. for us and where we are at it really still has a lot to do with development.
-

I thought they all played well. Hampson and Thomas in particular were a revelation.
There were many who had 'passable' games and quite a few who were poor. Petterd fell into the middle bracket.
Not useless but that's just my opinion.
We lost by 18 points against a vastly improved side on their home turf. Sky not falling just yet..
-
The thing with Petterd and Newman is what are their purposes out there? What are their roles? Neither are really small forwards. They can't crumb off the spillages that our 3 pronged tall attack can create. They're both slow as treacle. Neither can rotate into the midfield. Neither offer any sort of real defensive pressure. Neither can rotate into the midfield. What are they doing in the team? Genuine question...

If it's the one you usually refer to as there then no. If it's elsewhere then probably. :whistle

spot on, and not long after that he went for a mark when one v one vs Prestia misjudged it when he could've just made a contest and spilt it over the boundary, instead prestia ran the length of the ground and they goaled from it, GG... 2 late goals came directly from these 2 howlers. If you watch this guy in every match, when the tempo lifts and the opposition is coming at us, he drops his bundle and makes A LOT of simple errors like dropping chest marks, fumbling - he just cant handle the big occasion

I have no idea hence I question these 2 ad nauseum. They play loose in defence and attack and pinch hit. Both bit part players who are slow and go missing when the heat intensifies. I have no idea why we need 2 of them in the side let alone 1...

Clear utilities. Personally see Petterd as a better option at this point. Newie is just going.
In defence RP's pretty good as a third man up, fairly brave, reads the play well and can trouble the opposition in the front half as evidenced by his goal. Yes he's not quick and is an average kick but of the two he gets the nod.
It's a valid question though. Eventually both will need to be upgraded.
-
Comments about petterd are well off the mark, he ain't a shirker, he s as tough as a five dollar steak, it's why he gets a game ea week.....try again ::)
-
Nobody should give JR8 shizer bout that game, he was treated like a leper for most of the game by those kicking the pill into the forward fifty, who preferred instead to pin it on the tit of the opposition backman who was always leading five meters in front of Tyrone 'fabric fingers' Vickery.

Mark Neeld couldn't coach a pig to be dirty,
Out rivers, Moloney , petterd , Martin
In rodan Pederson, Byrnes Giles
What's that Tellya :lol
-
Was a good defensive forward at Melbourne who was known for his tackling but could also find the goals....like so many before him, often saved his best for us....
-
lets see what do we have with petterd? what are his strengths and weaknesses and lets relate them to performance.
as the resident pessimist i will start it of with
slow as a wet wick.
shocking kick.
is supposed to be a good aerialist but only takes one contested mark every two games.
hes supposed to be a tackler but the stats tell us he lays just 2.5 a game.
hes not a huge possesion winner and for a bloke with such lousy foot skills he kicks way more than he handballs and gets way more u/c possesions than c/p
hes a liability in defense to slow poor disposal panics under pressure.
cant play in the midfield wouldnt find a ball in a footy factory or have the awareness to not be panicked.few clearances and who would want him delivering the ball inside 50.
poor forward record few i/50 mks and kicks less than 1 goal a game slow and lays few defensive tackles.
if you watch him play you see mediocre. ffs hes a battler 8 WHOLE YRS TELL US THIS. the stats back this up. his performances do to, over 8 yrs they are in a word poor.
Hes a limited player with many deficiencies he doesnt bring one outstanding attribute to the table.someone anyone please point out one single outstanding attribute that could potentially off set all of his deficiencies.
theres all this but by heck lets play him he has a go. what the hell is wrong with our supporters. it seems mediocrity has been ingrained into us.
if a premiership is the ultimte goal and we supposedly have a lot of the foundation blocks in place we should not even be looking at such deficient players like petterd and a fair few other favorites.
in defense id rather we played and put the time into the likes of vlastuin, ellis mcintosh and dea as there is some scope of improvement and hope we will find a decent player.
in the midfield you could just about play the entire list in front of him.
as a forward id take a edwards anyday and id certainly be looking at the likes of ohanlon knights gordon lloyd instead.
what the hell are we doing its like going back to the bad old wallace days.
i sometimes have to ask myself are they even assessing players strengths and weaknesses. have they become like regimes before so obseesed with the now and finals that they cant see thay are missing the boat long term.
ive said this a fair few times on here but it is relevant. it seems the more things change the more they stay the same in some things.

Or in a few words he is poo
-
Ok even though we won I think there are a few candidates for this week
Lids Had a blinder 1st quarter and then disappeared when tagged by a nuffer
King Does the 1% and tackles but we are crying out for a forward that has more impact and kicks multiple goals consistently
Chaplain Not up to his usual average standard
Morris Not one of his better games
-
King - shouldn't have played.
Chaplin - no idea what he was trying to do out there. Looks like he's 40yo the way he moved.
Bit of a gap...
Grimes - forgot he was playing
Lids - hope they found him after the game
Grigg - ditto
Morris - get him to play Toovey role from Collingwood. Stick to those little pricks like glue and if you end up with 1 kick WGAF
-
I'm begginig to think Coach is right about Chaplain, which is concerning on many fronts.
-
Lids had an achilles injury and was forced to go forward. This is why he went missing as the game went on. Could miss next week.
-

The best dressed double fisting gardener was at his finest last night. Double fisting the footy over the boundary line when he could have taken an uncontested mark. A great look, would have made Ryan Lonie proud. Still yet to see this bloke play on a gun and beat him.
Don't worry guys, these are just his bad games. He will play some better ones and you will lap it up. I saw it for years at another club before they realised he was never going to be a consistent player.
-

I dont think i could put into words how much i hate seeing this!
If you can get two hand to the ball, MARK THE stuffing THING!
If your intend to punch, then go one handed so you have more reach.
Basic stuffing football!
-
Grigg, Houli, Newman, Edwards, Conca, Deledio. Hampspud's late marks & first half ruck work just keeps him out. Petterd was also a genuine candidate until the last quarter. After watching the match a second time on television Morris gets off the hook, though Chaplin was a late bolter.
King's was nowhere near the worst, at least he had a bit of presence. If we could transplant it into certain blokes who are literally twice his size they'd be unstoppable. People need to understand that King's qualities aren't always tangible.
-
on the radio they were giving petterd votes , maybe if you watched the game rather than spend 4q at the bar you might see it differently, ::)

Well good for "the radio"....maybe if you weren't a senile old fool who constantly talks out of his "clacker", I'd give a poo.
-
Im Pettards biggest critic - he played a decent game last night, and importantly rose to the occasion for a change.
Chaplin, Houli, Newman Foley stood out for mine - Grigg, Conca Hampson not far off
-
People only remember last quarters, I've now seen the game twice now, live and on television - he was arse for the first three...and I usually stick up for him.
-
Conca
Morris
Newman
Lids for being as weak as pee and getting tagged out AGAIN
Foley
Hardwick

agree to disagree on this one, I pay special attention to my whipping boy ;) btw I agreed with your analysis almost word for word in the other thread, we both said almost identical things about several players. :thumbsup
-
No worries Pacino, fair enough, cheers.
Lids for being as weak as pee and getting tagged out AGAIN
By Andreis Everitt...ANDREIS stuffING EVERITT A HACK THIRD stuffING TALL....does no-one else find that extraordinary? Like being tagged out by .....I dunno.....Jack Anthony......?!?! Are Sydney going to send Roberts-Thompson to him when we play them now? FFS.
-
Chaplin, Houli, Newman Foley stood out for mine - Grigg, Conca Hampson not far off
You've named a third of the team there Tony but left out Grimes ? I thought him and Foley were our worst. Grimes got smashed by Yarran when he was on him. Barely got a kick all nite or laid a tackle or anything ? He's short of a gallop. Dimma shoulda let him find form in the magoos.
Also Dimma singled Newman out for special praise in his post match presser. What did he see that we didn't ?
-
Grimes was good doing what he was suppossed to do and had no more chance stopping Yarran than lovechild Rance would have.....Morris is meant to be our mosquito swatter.... where was he?
-
I actually thought Grimes was ok in the first half Dice, fell away in the second which is understandable. Maybe if Rance was playing he wouldn't have come into the side? Agree he looked short of a gallop hence why Im not critiquing him too harshly. Asking him to play on Yarran had disaster written all over it, truth of the matter is, whether it was Morris, Houli or Grimes, yarran was having a day out. Conca and hampson tried hard but were beaten by their better opponents, no shame and Im not dirty on them, just added them in to make up the op's quota :)
As for Newman, got no idea, got me stuffed tbh mate.
-
funny how we all see things different.
I agree with dice on grimes and foley, although subs dont normally get praise unless they do something dynamic.
I thought newman did some good stuff when he went down back later in the game when we were under siege.
as i was witnessing it i remembered my questioning of why dice wanted Newman to return to the backline ;D
Am i the only that when seeing grimes running hard for the ball i am expecting his hamstring to ping.

:bow
-

Busy trying to stop Garlett !
-
in order for me.
conca - two in a row and he looks out of his depth. always panics and rushed.
chaplin - sheesh go back two yrs and what we got the first two rounds is exactly what port fans went on about.
grimes - was invisible at times just didnt do enough and got pantsed.
king - another who just doesnt do enough.
grigg - ffs he has to go. im getting on in age and id love to play on this weak prick.
deledio - to fall away so much injured or not was not good. if he was injured why not sub him out.
once again there were plenty of candidates who are lucky not to get a mention.
for what its worth i thought griffiths had a pretty decent game. id take his game over what vickery gave despite vickerys 4 goals.astbury stood up and did a decent job, and im giving petterd some kudos thought his game was more than servicable credit where its due eh.
-
in order for me.
conca - two in a row and he looks out of his depth. always panics and rushed.
chaplin - sheesh go back two yrs and what we got the first two rounds is exactly what port fans went on about.
grimes - was invisible at times just didnt do enough and got pantsed.
king - another who just doesnt do enough.
grigg - ffs he has to go. im getting on in age and id love to play on this weak prick.

If Vickery kicks 5 goals in a match will you say he had a good game?

that will depend.
did i say he had a poor game. i said griffiths was better.
ffs vickery touched the ball just 7 times is that acceptable.
he worked hard lead at the ball took a couple of contested marks one over a 179cm player. laid a decent tackle which resulted in a goal . he also did nothing for a huge part of the game id call his game servicable and it would not want to drop off even a tiny bit.
who had the better game griffiths or vickery give me griffiths game anyday.

If he kicks 4 goals then yes 7 touches is acceptable, no Vickery last night no win

Yeah bit harsh there santa I have to say...since when are key forwards expected to rack up possessions? They're not midfielders.
Morris is meant to be our mosquito swatter.... where was he?
Busy trying to stop Garlett !
Garlett looked to me like he was mainly playing of half back and only popping up forward. He & Yarran were named at HF & HB respectively before the match but pretty sure Malthouse switched that for most of the match.
-
on the radio they were giving petterd votes , maybe if you watched the game rather than spend 4q at the bar you might see it differently, ::)
Well good for "the radio"....maybe if you weren't a senile old fool who constantly talks out of his "clacker", I'd give a poo.
24 possies at 75% 6 marks, yeah he was woeful :lol...and who you calling old sucker , I'm only a bit older than dustin fletcher :shh

i know your taking the pee but an honest answer to that would be. not a lot.
it leaves
3k, 1hb, 1 tckle, 0 marks, 1behind. geezus he didnt even compete for a hit out.
all im saying is yep he snagged a few but he didnt do a hell of lot else other than tryhard and compete. it wasnt a great game by anyones standards.
to become a good player he just has to add to his game. an awful lot of weeks the goals will dry up what then? this is it in a nutshell with him.
everyone hanging their hats on 4 goals.
anyway good on him he kicked 4 3 of which were well deserved he competed much better gave more contests layed a tackle and played in front more. but 4 goals or not his overall game was just servicable. you would never ever want to see it drop away. he has many areas he needs to be better in. after last week it was a step in the right direction.

grigg - ffs he has to go. im getting on in age and id love to play on this weak prick.
:lol
Now that is funny ! Nearly spat me beer on the keyboard reading that.
ironic that the most courageous act Grigg's ever done was last night....unfortunately it was his own teammate he collected.
:cheers

Vickery is leading the Coleman Medal I think ? ;D
-
He's now behind Breust
-
-Shaun "Not Tackling, Waving" Grigg , aka The Pointer Sister - In the immortal words of Basil Fawlty....You still here?
-Shank "Unforced" Edwards aka Calamity Shane - Don't worry, next decade will be his breakout decade.
-Chris "What, me hurry?" E. Newman aka Captain Default - Goodwill is a charity in the United States, AFL is not.
-Bachar "We sure showed dem Bummers lol" Houli aka the Prophet of Panic - If only he'd show just a tenth of the courage on the football field he'd probably show on a "humanitarian mission" to Damascus.
-Brandon "What the stuff was" Ellis.... aka Brandumb - Don't let the AFL's stupid schedule fool ya son, football's not fortnightly proposition this year, don't you start becoming "enigmatic" on us too now - we've had enough of that.
Tyrone "Turn up when I feel like it" Vickery aka Nepotism Vick........see Brandon, this is the cautionary tale I refer to.
-
Annoying to see King and Newman be given a year too long and Matt Whites pace gets use by Port Adelaide. Makes me sick.
-
Oh FFS nobody played well.
Nuthin we say makes a friggin difference, move on to the next game I reckon.

Dustin "Malaysian Airlines flight MH370" Martin - goes missing when he shouldnt, and turns up in the wrong position

At least we got rid of one clogger even if it wasn't by choice.
-
watching oren yesterday I don't think he is up to it.He cant clunk marks and a few times his fumbling cost us dearly and especially in the dying moments of the game.
And sheesh what the hell is chaplin up to out there.Turning the ball over under no real pressure is just not acceptable

Maybe that list was for the first half of the game
If Claw did a top six list for the second half I am sure JR would be in there
Alternatively he could be just watching half a game again

What's he sposed to do if the pill doesn't go forward

Point the finger and yell abuse Bents

At least he gives a stuff
There are others who seemingly lack passion for the jumper

you did watch the first half i take it. bloody hell zero touches in a half of footy and he was belted no excuses. he needed the 4 goals just to save himself.
and some context too if jack was ever kick 4 goals it was in the second half against the bullies. they ended up with just one kpd after half time if one of our tall forwards didnt get off the chain it would have been an even bigger disgrace.
what are the club basically complaining about and useing as an excuse for where we are at atm. the way i hear it its not putting together 4 quarters of footy.
-
I watched the first half.
Wouldn't say on the first half performance jack was the greatest reason for the score line
-
Collingwood showed us up tonight.
The bottom six are;
- Vickery
- Grigg

Titch whether it's Dreamtime or a rank and file game in round 2, 8 or 20 what you get is the same.
Nothing then some more nothing then something that then turns into nothing then more nothing.
Grigg. I don't care whether he tags or he plays on a wing or he plays anywhere else he is so bereft of intensity they may as well put a life size card board cut out of him to do the job.
Hampson. I don't care about father and son. I wish him and Megan all the best on their new life with their son but I sincerely hope he doesn't play many more game for us.
Houli. Where was the run and carry, the kicking the effort the goal scoring off half back this week? No right foot, oblivious to the obvious, below par AFL standard player. That's it.
Griffiths. Was woeful last night but happy to persist with him atm.
Chaplin. You put your right fot in you put you right foot out you put your right foot in and you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey and you turn around and that's what he's all about.
-

Yes but if u had to pick 6
So you want me to wade through a big pile of poo and find the 6 stinkiest pieces? Pass.

Pretty much agree but worthy mentions to Jacko, Conca, Foley, Maric and I probably forgot a couple

Very hard to fit 20 into 6!!!! :shh
