Chook 15,088 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I didn't realise how slow Bail is.Is that a tad harsh? Haven't you read The Lord of the Rings? Rohan is only fast on horseback. EDIT: Finally. I've been waiting to trot that one out for years.
Dee Since 73 267 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 We are either going at half pace or we are going to be in a bit of strife this year.
hardtack 11,116 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 The biggest problem I see is that they still take too long to make decisions.
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Well that was terrible. Wei either aren't interested or we still have quite a few players just not up to it. I'm starting to wonder what Dawes offers?
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Shocking effort! Also Goddard is a genuine piece of [censored].
mikeod 21 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Started well, but have been rattled by the pressure and run of the Bombers through the midfield. Some terrible decision making by hand. Forward line that looked like it was functioning well early became non-existant.
The Reverend 1,736 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Cmon guys, how often do we play with the other team parks the bus as must as these guys. I think they are doing ok ?
ding 5,126 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 So we find ourselves at 37-37 at half time. Against a VFL side..... Slow, unskilled, unsure, ..... MFC are in for another very very poor year if our pre season form so far is any guide ( And lets face it, our pre season form has given us a very accurate guide as to our regular season fortunes for the last decade). Need a MASSIVE lift in the second half.
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 The biggest problem I see is that they still take too long to make decisions. Absolutely, too slow by mind, by hand and the first five steps of most players are in first gear, they need to jump straight to third and then fifth gear in that time.
wattsup 470 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 For those thinking we won't finish bottom 2 are kidding themselves
watchtheeyes 1,429 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Decision making still seems a major issue. Missing JKH or Kent up forward, for the I50's we've had we should've converted more. Tap work has been very underwhelming, feels like we got hammered in the clearances in the 2nd Q.
Nasher 33,686 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Said to myself when I logged on: "I thought that was below expectation but not that bad. I bet I log on to find slashed wrists everywhere."
S.R.J 418 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I can clearly see why we will be bottom 4 again this year. Playing a VFL side and getting run all over the park. Typical.
watchtheeyes 1,429 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 All those plonkers going on about VFL side. Zaharakis, Goddard, Chapman and Daniher are not VFL players. Geez whiz.
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Absolutely, too slow by mind, by hand and the first five steps of most players are in first gear, they need to jump straight to third and then fifth gear in that time. Yep, it's stop-start madness! Timid footballers. They hold up play when it should play on, and they play on when they should hold it up. I won't name them we know who they are
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I'm more disappointed at how many times we are handballing to a player in trouble This is a huge problem.
Seraph 1,824 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Shocking effort! Also Goddard is a genuine piece of [censored]. I am absolutely giving it to him over the fence, the [censored].
ding 5,126 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Said to myself when I logged on: "I thought that was below expectation but not that bad. I bet I log on to find slashed wrists everywhere." Said to myself at half time, "that was absolute rubbish but it wont take long for the apologists to rock up trying to polish a turd"
Deecisive 1,709 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 pretty ordinary stuff, slow, poor decision making, poor disposal, lack of defence hopefully Roos can get these guys interested in playing the second half
DemonDan83 95 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I'm more disappointed at how many times we are handballing to a player in trouble This annoys me, was the Melbourne of old!!
watchtheeyes 1,429 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 12 - 7 scores 22-19 i50s 71 - 58 CP's 192 - 159 Possies Can people actually contribute something constructive instead of these single words criticisms. Clearly we have to work on decision making under pressure and finishing inside 50. To me, they're the major talking points from the first half.
