well from the footage i saw, in the first q , krak hardly had any game time if not any, in the second quarter, he also had minimal game time, in the second half , where he played mostly on the park and not on the bench, he kicked 2 goals , should have been 3 and i dont recall him ever playing on walker. But i do recall him working hard and doing most thinkgs right. watch the replay and listen to what the commentators were saying, maybe they were watching his performance with the same glasses that i was.
And there in lies the problem X, the footage. As is the norm, the TV shows the bloke who has the ball and those close by. What it doesn't show you is the blokes 10 metres way or further up the ground. I've watched most of the replay and the TV as usually doesn't give the whole picture and makes some people look better then what they actually were.
Krak was terrible on Friday night. Sure he snagged 2 goals but for the majority of the night his disposal was terrible. The things I usually praise him for were at times were non-existent. There were times (and these don't show up on the footage) where he didn't chase or if he did he didn't chase hard enough. There times when he stood back and didn't help his team mate when they needed help (more on that in the a moment)
Krak ... He needs a min of 2-3 weeks of good performances at Coburg before he should be let back into the team
And that's been my arguement all along Bull. What is the point of sending a bloke back to the magoos for a week. Sure he may get a heap of the ball but guess what? THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. But what I want to see is them do it consistently. I really don't understand what message one week at Coburg and then being recalled sends to ALL the players
ANd just on blokes (and I am not talking about just Krak here) standing back and not going into help their team mates (ie just standing by letting someone else do the hard stuff) - I was shocked the number of times this happened on Friday night - IMO not acceptable
wp, as u know i wasnt at the game, im purely basing my judgement on what i saw on tv, and take your word for it as i know u r an astute judge.
im just hoping he dosnt get dropped, i just hope he gets a run of 3-4 games to prove himself. let him get some rhythm and continuity. after that , if he shows all these bad attributes, send him off, but we all know he always plays well v the bombers.
