WHAT'S THE GAME PLAN?

[Ox]

ANYBODY ??

[yellowandback]

Does it matter?
I really, really, really hope Matt White gets on the P-1-55 tonight.

[wayne]

It probably involves some running, which our lazy f**ks (first year players excluded) can't be bothered doing.

[Owl]

Tanking?  (could of picked a better year for it imo...)

[Ramps]

theres no tanking going on. we are not good enough. we dont have enough quality players and thats about the sum of it all. its 10 years of frawley and wallace that has left us like this. nothing much more can be said. we are a long way of it. mind you astbury showed afew things today and if Griffiths comes in well hopefully he can do the same.

[Ox]

re running - precisely.

Funny thing is,were no worse without Newman,lol.

ANYBODY ??

Mate, just got home .
Answer to your question , there isnt one.
Will say this.
Hardwick is way out of his league we have made a huge mistake in his appointment, HUGE !
Suburban footy would be his limit.
The following players have GONE BACKWARDS at a rate of knots.
Post
white
Rance
Vickery    HE WONT MAKE IT EITHER.
Lids
Tambling

As for his treatment of Tuck playing him off half back and not playing his the first 2 rounds,
Well guess what, he went on ball in the second half and at least held his own.

As for the game plan , there isnt one I am afraid.

We were horrible today, pathetic actually

With all due respect jamie

Rance was going backwards at a rate of knots last year
White probably and shouldnt be at Richmond next year
Deledio and Tambling are stuffing around coz they have no help
Vickery is just a kid ruck wise and its to early to tell
Post is going backwards- I agree

But theres to many blokes who warent up to it- Edwards, Jackson, Tuck, Simmonds etc. No coach could fix this rabble of a playing list- no one.

[jackstar is back again]

Vickery, average 6 possesions a game during his career in the TAC.
He is going no where,

Thought Tuck was okay in the 2nd half when on the ball.

The game plan is terrible
Had the binoculars on the coaching staff at the breaks, Campbell didnt even address his group at the 3/4 time, and the other coaches looked devestated.

I think that Hardwick isnt the right person for the job.
Why ? we have guys who just refuse to chase, kick to guys under the pump, ete etc, we CANT GET THE BASICS RIGHT
What Richard Tambling did in the 3rd quarter when he kicked to a 3 on 1 in the goal square was unbeleivable, who do you blame ? The coach, as he should of been dragged ASAP and wasnt, there lies the PROBLEM.

[Ramps]

After 5 years of Frawley and another 5 of Wallace I think we should allow Hardwick atleast a couple of years before we pull the knives out. We had Melbourne on the run in the first quarter, Dea gifted them 3 goals- hes just a kid, you cant blame Hardwick for that, Jackson, Simmonds, Edwards, Hislop, White et al. To many blokes who cant kick.

I was happy with Astbury and Taylor- thats what I got out of todays game, we found a couple of players and importantly we found a future key forward, now if Griffiths can do the same in afew weeks then this season will not be a complete waste.

[Infamy]

Griffiths kicked 3 goals today for Coburg reserves
Will be interesting to see how much game time he played too as I doubt it would have been more than perhaps 3/4s

Can tell you the club have earmarked his debut in 4 weeks time

There you go Jacko if this season we get Astbury Griffiths Taylor and Martin then it wont have been a wasted year.

Thought Tuck was okay in the 2nd half when on the ball.

Disagree Jack.  I thought Tuck today showed with crystal clear clarity why he has been on the outer - the number of times he got the ball and just banged it or handballed it forward without looking or thinking (especially in the 2nd half when he went on the ball) was frustrating to say the least.  Our side today was screaming out for the few older guys to stand up and they failed us again.  Simmonds and Tuck - absolutely no benefit from keeping them in the seniors now - not as protection to the kids, not as experience in the clinches, not as mentors, not as anything.  Thanks and bye.

It will, why ?
As we aint competitive.
What  you do with the likes of Tambling, Riewoldt, Post, Collins, White, Rance, Edwards , Hislop
