NAB Cup 2010

[Hellenic Tiger]

well one thing hasn't changed

our ability to cough it up bc of a simple unforced error when we are in complete control of a passage of play, I have never seen an afl side do it quite like us.

Maybe we need the players to see a shrink. Lie down on a couch and talk their brains out. Not see magicians or whatever Tambling went to last year. Someone who can get them to wear a yellow and black footy jumper at AFL level with pride.

Thats just it. ITS A SQUAD nothing more

Its not the squad that will line up at round 1

[Stripes]

Well at least this really lowers our expectations of 2010. It's going to be another long year and just after I upgraded my membership to 17 games and convinced 3 other blokes to join up with me. Well at least I won't be suffering alone.

seems that no matter who we have playing for us, or who the coach is, it's the same every year. we lack basic football skills within the squad!

Problem is we have loser mentality

[Tigermonk]

Great to see Thompson ok walking around

[Ramps]

If we had recruited the forward who went to Sydney Bradshaw... would it have been better? At least we would have had a target and won Griffiths and Astbury some time?

  l be in the MCC no colors this year, spending my membership money on booze

astbury and martin are putting every senior player to shame

They are 100% Wallace free though.

we dont have any target down forward. Agree that Bradshaw should of been looked at

No we need a young set of forwards to be there when we mature. not players who will be retired when the cubs mature

[Tigermonk]

Thats how they should play long direct so the forward can lead & mark & goal just like that

[Hellenic Tiger]

Guys realistically we knew we were going to finish bottom 3 at best this season.
It's just that we were free of Wallace and the infighting over him staying and going.

I still believe that Hardwick with time will do a great job and virtually turn over the list and set up a good game plan that will have us September bound sometime between 2012-14.

The job at hand is too big at the moment.

And for those talking about squads. Hawthorn are playing a squad too. Just that theirs is way better and more polished than ours.

Problem is we have loser mentality

sadly that's it. once that changes, then results on the field should follow.

[Ramps]

Some interesting stats

Hislop 10 disposals 50% efficiency
Riewoldt 7 and 57
White 6 and 50
Nahas 5 and 40
Polo 4 and 50

Ill update on the turnover merchants shortly.

[Tigermonk]

can say Nahas is a great find for Richmond
He has 2nd & third efforts, Tackles & tackles again, never gives up & kicks goals
cant ask anymore than that
