Have a good think about selections at match committee
1. Don't pick Morris, he's no bloody good
2. If you want to kick the ball long into your forward line you may want to select a CHF.
3. When the opposition gets a run on put some players in defence.
4. When your playing a team with 4 players over 193cms select some extra height.
Also do whatever you can to get Jake Lever, best young defender in the comp.
Also we've been pathetic after quarter time.
-
Don't tell me 1 loss and we're gonna get a bunch of these threads ::)
-
Yes. Truth hurts.
-
Weve been found out.
We are a big pile of Merde
-
All points spot on.
5 and 0 doesn't mean you are exempt from criticism when you get embarrassed by 10 goals.
-
Message to Dimma - stuff off and take your hack favourites with you

Everything there is true, not having a go just stating fact.

Or 20 goals. Holy hell.

Point 4.
Answer - we don't have any height.

I agree but where does this expectation come from ? We haven't really
Played that well in any of our wins for 4 quarters, we haven't been all that convincing. That could be viewed as an upside because when we do play 4 quarters we can match it with the best but we played 1 tonight ( and beat them ! ) Rioli, butler, castagna ?, markov, Prestia and Caddy still to find their best. There is a lot of upside but my only qualm is that rance jack and cotch aren't 3-4 years younger :rollin
-
Thanks for making our club a laughing stock again you pri:!. Watching flappy arms stink it up and Grigg in the ruck is a real treat
-
Problem is we have no talls to bring in
Elton's shown he isn't up to it
Did you watch the VFL yesterday? Choi spend the day cruising around, Maric can't play as the 2nd forward.
Soldo is the best option but not sure he can play as 2nd forward either.
But then again Nankervis is in strife so maybe Soldo and Maric get a go next week

I would have thought the expectation of any team who are 5 and 0 with a full list of players to choose from, DO NOT lose by over 10 goals and have the game over at 3 qtr time.

But look at those games we won mate, none were 4qtr efforts and you gotta put in 4qtrs against good teams. Adelaides the benchmark atm. Let's see how we go against gws, port, doggies, geelong ( who lost to Collingwood today )
-
I'm wondering if its actually Adelaide yards ahead of GWS and the Dogs and then the peloton behind with Geelong and Richmond setting the pace.

Mate, youre only a small step away from barracking for a loss.

I'm thinking something along those lines. Whoever wants top 8 this year it's up for grabs.. very open.

No plan B, any danger of earning your $ Damien.
Got some tips from highly regarded assistant coaches, although they let us down today as well. Where is Plan B?
Long kicks didn't work...

If Morris plays again Im giving it away. Might be a good Clubman but can't play at this level again

Get a grip...Crows are that good!

I agree..but after seven and a bit seasons - shouldn't we be that good?

We are not, but they are.
I expected a 5 goal loss as I didn't think we have the cattle to best them
I think next week is more important for our year and will really tell us a story
-

We have had a fair bit of list change since that Carlton final which was arguably or best year under dimma. Things look to be back on track but will these players come through in time for rance and jack to still be around and playing well.. interesting times ahead
-
Should have at least gone one on one for a while after the second quarter - would've still lost but once Adelaide get on a roll over there you can't just continue to give them space and allow them uncontested possessions....

Even if they are not up to it we need a big bloke who brings the ball to ground

Elton was playing a role simple as that giving Nank a chop out and a target for the back half to kick it to.Mistake dropping him.

You are 100% correct. Ridiculous selection and coaching v the crows.

If Dimma gets no credit for our 5 victories
Why does he cop all the stuff for this loss
Why isn't this Blake Caracellas fault ??
Just asking ??

We didn't lose because of Morris though. Poor selection but it ain't just Dimma sitting there selecting players. From what I understand there's a team of all coaches and Balme ?

Any team that's forced to use Grigg as second ruck needs to sack the head coach.
It's easy.

Morris would have almost certainly been Dimma's call. It sent out a clear message that the playing of youth and constant improvement with senior games would be usurped by the playing of an old warrior that is not up to it just because he is a coaches favourite.
Don't ignore the psychological impact of this.

Seriously, it's a reasonable question

Can't disagree with any of that
Actually it was a main topic of conversation on SEN this morning. Lyon gave Dimma and the club a might whack over it

You just contradicted yourself in the same post.....

So if Dimma wanted Morris and no other members of the selection panel did you think he can over rule everyone ?

How?
By saying Mat posed an reasonable question. Didn't give an opinion on whether i agreed or not just said it was reasonable.
And I then gave an opinion, agreeing with what Doc said.

The mistake wasn't that he picked Morris, it was because we didn't pick a CHF/second ruckman.
In our first 5 games and again yesterday our game plan has been to get the footy as quick as we can to our forwardline, which in about 80% of the time was long and high. Giving Jack and Elton a chance to bring the footy to ground for our 3 small forwards.
Yesterday Adelaide tall defenders marked at will.
I hope this week he rectifies his mistake. I don't care if it's Elton, Chol, Maric or Soldo but if we want to play like the first 5 weeks we must have that second tall to compete at CHF to CHB.
-

Dear Mr Turdwalk,
Only a narcissist would yet again select his poo mates to play and hold 70,000 paid up members to a journey which will inevitably fail. Again. Whats the point?
Hand the reigns over to conductor Caracella whilst you (somehow) still have an ounce of credibility.

hmm don't know about that, Grigg generally did pretty well and roved his own tap so it wasn't all a loss.
Selecting Morris was dumb, that selection probably sent a bad message to our high energy younger players who should be getting a game in front of Morris.
Plus the playing group knew they had to cover for his turnovers.
One of our problems last week was pin pointed by McIntosh's great play where he cut inside and delivered the ball up the middle.
Adelaide just followed our players to the sidelines where we continued to attack and out marked us and smothered the play every time.
Our first 1/4 was pretty good but the plan unravelled. 4 quarters like our first 1/4 and we would be premiership contenders IMHO.
Ditch Morris, Ditch B Ellis, replace with Bolton or Stengle, plus would like to see Lennon (whose kicking is pretty good IMO) given a decent run of games.
Rest Prestia put in Miles, Nank out use either Soldo/Chol/Garthwaite
This sends a message to the playing group and gives some young talented and speedy kids a go.
BTW really liked Markov last 2 weeks, McIntosh has really stood up and Astbury is coming along nicely TYVM
