The aftermath Rd.2

[Little Jackie]

Today was a disgrace

Yeah the Bombers were pretty insipid 

Dont know why you want to talk about the Bombers, 
has nothing to do with me this year

At least you will get McMahon and possibly Polak and a few others back at the burgers

Does this mean you are unemployed, no wonder you are so grumpy.

 

I am having a rest

[{X}]

look

our team had a bad day, but the roos were only a 7 goal better side thanks to the pathetic dispLAY THE UMPIRES MADE.
the umpires totaly screwed us and demorilised the team

we made many errors but so did they and we never got goals gift wrapped for us as they did.

they were evengiven many charity centre clearances

we never gave up. good sign

they kicked many flukey goals also

im not bagging terry this week, but i hope he learns from this week and if mick malthouse can be crappy with umpires then terry must be fuming


richo has to learn to give jay space

deledio needs to go on th eball

brown needs time on the ball too

morton , jack , edwards, connors must all come in

and terry needs to get tough, old school, none of this snag stuff

ps, we didnt lose as bad as other teams this week and our scoreboard was corrupted and influenced by pathetic umpiring

That happens when you reach a certain age.

Re Tambling

Let me preface my remarks by saying I was at ground level in the Olympic Stand with no radio or other input from supporters, so I don't have any stats to go on  - but I can't see how he can be among our best.

I thought he cost us the first two goals of the second half with skill errors and always seems to have his body movements ahead of his brain. In the last quarter when we were pushing he was standing next to Wells in front of the members one second and in a flash Wells was making it two on one down the wing with Tambling 30 metres away trotting.  He looks flash at times but doesn't do anywhere near enough for mine.

Umpires affect on the game............................ZERO

Pettifer was a disgrace and should be playing at Coburg next week, he is meant to be a leader  

Actually that was the most disppointing thing for me today/night our lack of leadership. Tonight showed to me at least why Kane Johnson is the Captain of this Club. Dare I say it we missed him tonight in the centre clearance - at least he puts some pressure on in there.... tonight very few did

Newman, Bowden, Brown, Pettifer, Simmonds & Foley are the other members of the leadership group. Massive opportunity to put their stamp on this game and collectively as a group they came up short

Foley was tagged by Rawlings B and Newman tried hard and was one of our few OK players but a couple of times when needed he was lacking in the 2nd efforts, thought that was disappointing (corralling rather than attacking anyone )

Simmonds tap work was ordinary tonight - tapping the ball to the centre of the goal mouth....Roos goal in the 2nd. MT had to restrain me from doing a "woofer valve"  

Pettifer - see what others have said ...

and the 2 B's needed to really step up as the most senior of the leadership group...

[Tigertailz]

I noticed a soft free kick bonanza in the first quarter!

After that just the usual umpiring with a few each way bets here and there.

I actually thought Tambling was good tonight when he was thrown in the guts - was getting clearances for us and attacking the ball. So he made skill errors - he wasn't alone there. Some of his in and under work was very good

I can handle kids making errors far more than the likes of Bowdn J or a McMahon

The match up on Wells didn't work - Jackson had him for most of the game and gave him far too much latitude

Umpires affect on the game............................ZERO

Correct!

They did ... the margin should only be 35 points ... Grant's free a shocker...

Actually make that 29 points Jones in the fanl quarter tripping over his own feet, going to his knees and the falling forward..

You want a real disgrace of the game the hands in the back rule  Goes from bad to worse

[Little Jackie]

WP.
The Simmons ruck tap in the goal square was interesting.
Why ?
Watch the tape if you can and see a certain player waiting for a teammate to gain possesion so he can scoot off on his lonesome.
Any guesses who anyone ? No prizes but you will all guess right

I hate to say it but I think we missed Kane J.

If its the King incident and I was coach this would be the advice I would give the kid.
1/ Dont play from behind, if you do you will run the risk of your opponent pushing back and then it is only natural that you will nudge or push him the back,
2/ Play side by side, Get a tape of Darren Gaspar in his prime, always played side by side and kept him opponent to the bounday at all costs, .
Might add Will Thursfield was doing this before he did his knee and is struggling a bit at the moment in regards to his speed.,thus getting caught behind

[Jacosh]

Some good signs from today in that we never gave uphad a rally in the last quarter and were a silly chance had we had more poise and skill and executed that skill along with our decision making in a moreprecise manner.
Newman should be captain of the side plain and simple.Thought Sarge was okay in reference to the point someone made in an earlier post and the development of Thursfield is very encouraging.
On the negative
a) Our senior players let us down today Browny Bowden Pettifer who is as soft as butter with a non existent work rate and of course Johnno let the club and his team down. His prescence may not have amounted in us winning but the scoreboard would have been closer.
b) The umpiring is awful. Football has become an incidental contact sport rather than a contact sport and the number of ticky touchwood frees Corey Jones and co received up forward made a difficult task more monumental.
c) Wallace was very reactive today and even delayed making moves that would have kept us in the game eg putting Lids on the ball as once he was there he racked up the possies and persisting with Kingy on Jones then Grant. It seems he was cursed being the media darling leading up to today as he had a dirty dirty day.
Just beaten on the day by bigger bodies and a team who was better drilled and better coached on the day by a characterless club who enjoy making a habit of beating big 4 opposition.

As a postscript I can only hope that Kane puts in a stellar performance next week and inspires the team against the Skunks as he owes that to the team himself and the fans and anything less than a stellar performance in a winning team will be less than acceptable and a slur on the footy club as a whole.

Nice post HT,
About the only things missing from my point of view is asking how can a player like Leigh Brown (big and slow) be played in the centre and get so many possesions?
Secondly next post id like some more punctuation thanks.  LMAO

I saw Foley trying to run past but he was heading towards the defensive side... the tap went straight over his head and into the open....

Just on your current not favourite player Jack.... someone yelled out in the 3rd "tambling you are so soft" only problem was the player they were directing the spray to was number 13 not number 30.... tambling was 40 metres away
