Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Lol... yeah that's the reason.... Tell me where did I said that's the reason, or learn to read.
DeeZee 7,496 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 The rot started when neeld put watts on brown. Put watts and Howe up forward with garland and rivers down back. Nicholson and blease on the ball.
BIG JIM 508 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 This post is silly. Magner is a first year footballer at AFL level. Nicholson is a rookie. Spencer is a kid. Just calling it as i see it
stuie 7,374 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Obviously not watching the game. Don't worry mate, I'll PM you and summarise what you have missed Really? Magner is our worst today is he? Maybe you should take note of his pressure, tackling, shepherding... There's more to footy than goals mate. Pretty sure Spencer, Moloney, Bate, Nicholson, Watts, Trengove, and many more have contributed LESS to the team so far today than Magner.
Akum 2,660 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I think Neeld & Craig need the break to get their heads in order. We're being forced to make reactive moves, and it's just pulling the team more & more out of shape. Agree with the post that said it's now time to ditch the experiments and put everybody back where they're best - at least one of Rivers or Garland to defence, one of Watts or Dunn forward, maybe try Howe key forward. Work out where we want our players to be, not react to where they are making us place them.
Curry & Beer 5,444 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 the awful truth is that this group of players has zero class/polish between them: Bate Spencer Sellar Bail MacDonald Magner Nicholson Martin bunch of complete hacks really, most sides have 1 or 2 of these in their 22, we have 7 today and thats why we're getting thumped
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah, enough with the experimental rubbish. Brisbane are miles ahead of GWS and they are not going to let us do as we please. We can't afford to lose games by 12 goals each week. I want proper structures and a better forward effort.
stuie 7,374 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Tell me where did I said that's the reason, or learn to read. Umpiring hasn't been that bad, not great, but not bad enough to even comment on it, so when you say "we've been bad, BUT..... blah blah umpiring" it sounds a lot like excuses.

hoopla 418 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 How slack is Channel 7? Tommy Mac has been taken to hospital ......... and all Ch 7 has given us is that "it is something internal" !! What if it had been Jonathon Brown? Can anyone who doesn't relied on live free-to-air television for their information tell me what the problem is ?
Buzzy 992 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 This post is silly. Magner is a first year footballer at AFL level. Nicholson is a rookie. Spencer is a kid. I see your point, but do you reckon 2 of these guys have much improvement to come? Nicho has some handy tools and his development should continue but I suspect the other two are pretty much at their limits.
dee-luded 2,959 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Everything but his head and his heart. Looks like it.
wattsup 470 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 whats with the nicholson and magner hate hardly been our worst, nicholson has 11 disposals magner 10 been way better than moloney who is supposed to be our best mid, in fact moloney may as well jump the fence and go sit with jones and jamar
McQueen 17,867 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Obviously not watching the game. Don't worry mate, I'll PM you and summarise what you have missed How about you share you wisdom with the rest of us. That's what the forum is for. Magner is far from our biggest liability.

You are 100% spot on. You can throw Dunn in there aswell, offers little. With blokes like those above, we'll never need to deliberately tank, thats for sure.
P-man 13,367 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Reckon MacDonald has been one of our best so far today actually He has, which says alot in itself.
Curry & Beer 5,444 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Reckon MacDonald has been one of our best so far today actually ive always rated him, but when he has the ball he stuffs it up most times, in this day and age you simply cant play AFL with that defect
Jerry Lundergard 420 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I am cringing everytime the ball gets outside a pack, you can just smell a Lions goal. We are getting murdered in transition.
Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Well wyl and faultydet are into the 3rd san Mig/Red Horse at the local ontrnet cafe in Davao Philippines. We can't get radio or image so you guys must paint the picture. Beers are cold girls are smiling... Have fun over there WYL....Nothing to see here folks.....and its freezing.
wattsup 470 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 geez stef martin could become a really good player if he wants it
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I'm happy to keep Garland and Rivers forward. I would like to see Howe play deeper forward too.
Mono 460 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 the awful truth is that this group of players has zero class/polish between them: Bate Spencer Sellar Bail MacDonald Magner Nicholson Martin bunch of complete hacks really, most sides have 1 or 2 of these in their 22, we have 7 today and thats why we're getting thumped Reckon Bail is best 22, and Nicholson not far off. The others aren't "hacks"; but not best 25 IMO.
