My 3 word player analysis V Collingwood

[joeboy 2,754]

Jones - totally lacked finesse

Viney - taught a lesson

T.McDonald - wonderful second half

Hannan - was mostly irrelevant 

Harmes - probably not playing

Neal-Bullen - was rarely noticed

Fritsch - not the worst

Gawn - tried but overwhelmed

Oliver - prolific but wasteful

Brayshaw - no heroics today

Hogan - slow and confused

Melksham - lost at sea

Spargo - bambi amongst wolves

Hibberd - fumbled and erred

Jetta - loose and slow

Lewis - tried but friendless

O.McDonald - close to horrible

Pedersen - game has passed

Petracca - continued disappointing season

Salem - rarely imbued confidence 

Smith - little to commend

Vince - gave us nothing 

[Return to Glory 7,681]

Petracca - shouldn't do media

[Jhorse 36]

Lewis was gutless today - second to the contest and unaccountable. Not sure what game you were watching

[spirit of norm smith 12,828]

Harsh but fair

thanks again joeboy 

[Return to Glory 7,681]

Smith - battled pretty well

[DemonLad5 1,637]

Harsh on Smith. Spot on otherwise

[DeeZee 6,717]

Harsh on Smith, one of our only triers

[Wiseblood 24,636]

I'll echo the others and say you were very harsh on Smith.

Also Gus sacrificed himself today to tag Phillips out of the game.  It meant he wasn't as prolific with the ball, but Phillips has been on fire and he shut him completely out of the game.  He deserves some credit for that.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Bring back Tyson

can't play g

No he doesn't, both were in my fantasy and neither scored!

But in the grand scheme of things, Gus in the middle has been responsible for our uptick in form over the last few weeks. Not sure why you'd move him out of there.

So Gus deserves no credit for tagging Phillips out of the game?  Righto.

Interesting coaching move to put your most recently prolific ball getter in a tagging role.

Needs to be analysed a little more methinks

Why?  Goodwin was probably backing others in to step up, while the coaching staff obviously felt that Gus could tag him out of the game, which he did.  Unfortunately some of our mid tier players didn't step up, so I'd be looking at that more than I'd be looking at the decision to use Gus in a negating role.

According to your comments Joeboy, McDonald, Fritch and Oliver played on their own against Collingwood. 3 versus 22 , a commendable effort to get within 7 goals.You do tend to put players down whenever we lose don't you? It's called a knee jerk reaction.

burning a key mover on a tagging role is not a percentage play ...use another if you want to do that.

Example .. play Stretch and replace Hannan

Goodwin rarely wins the tactical battles against the better teams it seems

The first line was a joke... clearly.

The second questioned the move to use him as a tagger in the first place, not his effort. When you have a player like Gus, and Clarry also, who give you such drive from the middle and are in great touch, why use him in a negating role?

When your getting smashed on clearances, its only so much you can do as a defender....look at the stats 10-18 our mids played their worst game of the year

[Emerald 1,683]

Pretracca - closet Collingwood supporter

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 5,786]

Pathetic Schoolboy effort

Melksham - lost at sea [QD says - Essendrugs days redux]

Hibberd - fumbled and erred [QD says - missing Lever apparently]

Jetta - loose and slow [QD says - can collect paycheque]

Lewis - tried but friendless [QD says - finals experience evident]

3 word run down for this thread

 

way too harsh

[layzie 28,473]

A general negative tone to the 3 word analysis and rightfully so. Thought Smith was ok. Probably the only one I disagreed with 

[Earl Hood 5,787]

Oh well once you get smashed in the clearances all day as we were, many players are going to look bad no matter how hard they try. So the 3 word analysis will reflect that but not inform us a lot. 

[rjay 23,840]

Viney - Opposite of Jenkins

He's a big man in a small mans body...Jack needs to learn to change his first option from trying to barge through to bringing teammates into the game.

He's not Patrick Cripps and it catches him out against good tough midfields.

Jack will never be a good captain until he learns his game.
