Title: Message to Dimma
Post by: pmac21 on April 30, 2017, 06:39:16 PM
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.

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

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 )

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....

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.

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.

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
