It's finally over! :clapping
Maybe we can now have a simple game plan for the rest of the season where if a player is on the run about 70m out, they have an option to go to, and not stop and handball backwards to a flat footed player.
A game plan that isn't so predictable, for example a player takes a mark and handballs off to a guy who gets tackled immediately because the opposition were basically waiting for it to happen.
There are good signs there.
If we want to tank, don't play the kids, keep playing Pettifer, McMahon, Bowden, Simmonds and let Deledio have a tag all game. That makes it 13 against 18 on the field.

and lets just pray we never ever see McMahon , Coghlan or Pettifer again,
Cogs=finished

and lets just pray we never ever see McMahon...
This really hit home days ago, just how bad this trade was. This is the worst draft/trade move under Wallace, easily!
Sure Tambling over Franklin, Oakley-Nicholls over Clark and Higgins, they are hard to take, but you don't know what you're going to get from the draft. Tambling and Oakley-Nicholls were rated but just didn't turn out.
We knew what we were getting with McMahon. Pick 19 should get you a player that will be easily in your best 22. We're stuck with a guy for another year that should never play again. We could have had a Selwood, Ward, Pears... the list goes on.... :banghead

The first half was exciting one way or another whereas the 2nd half was dismal.
All the 2nd half did was re emphasise that
McMahon
Pettifer
Simmonds should definentely not play again this year
Coughlan is way way to slow
Pattison is not up to scratch its as simple as that.
Bowden retire at the end of the year also.
That's 7 from tonights 22.
Add in Brown and Johnson JON Schulz and possibly Richo and you have 12 players that should be delisted that have been regulars in the team this season and in previous seasons.
Go the tank and promote next week to ensure the Eagles get the win and we get them to four wins with a game against us in round 22 to come to get them over the magical number of 4 and stifle their growth slightly.
Vickery Post Hislop Thompson should definentely be considered.
Tank tank tank.
Let the new post Wallace era begin.

yes 100% correct.
yet you still hear people on this thread who said it was a good selection(Mcmahon)
Funny that its those same people who think Thompson and Hislop were descent draft picks. The same people who years ago claimed Pettifer was a better player than Leon Davis...hahahahahahaha
Thank stuff that loser is not our coach anymore.

YOU HAVE ONE VERY SHORT MEMORY INFAMY.
In fact most people on here was happy with him saying no he will come good, give him some time, just like they are repeating the same tripe with Thompson and Hislop..Some even writing "he has been good for us with his dash etc etc hahahaha" Look at the posts
names i could give you about 50 but i wont waste my time. This club has been run by fools who prefer wuick fix recruiting instead of developing what we have got and invest heavily in youth.

I didnt want McMahon, infact I think this place got pretty interesting at the time we did it, from memory I had a thread on it that suggested the board should VETO the trade before it happened. As for Thomson and Hislop, I wanted Thomson but I definately didnt want Hislop. Both seemed to be the same type of player. The reality with Cogs is the game went past him over the last 3 years and Thomson could probably take that spot ... Hislop I dont know why ... I just dont know :banghead
-
i was the biggest basher of McMahon and idiots on here stated he deserved an opportunity ::), thats why we arent any good. Too many idiots running the place ( one less after last nite) and too many imbeciles/idiots on websites. ;)

...... and too many imbeciles/idiots on websites. ;)
:lol :rollin :lol You have never spoken a truer word Jack.

You see all sorts of things when the players aint playing for the coach, they proved they could play football & everyone was doing that in the first half.
Teams dont fold in skills & pace after half a game of football. it will continue till the cull is over. the pain has just began

Cogs=finished
I'd give Cogs the benefit, is by far from the worst on the list and has only come back after being out of football for a long time.
The other 2, well that's a no brainer for mine.
Hope Graham can coninue his journey and Simmo can join the rest on the way out.
How many is the max we can delist/move on? Doubt many could be moved on as no one would take them!
If we tank would anyone be dumb enough to trade a pick for Pettifer, if he plays out the season and does OK. Probably about the only one we would get something for.
