Why can't we play just simple football?

They have no energy on half their handballs and we often take too long to assess before kicking allowing opponents to easily pick us off.  Many of our clearance handballs are also  too short to a player already covered by an opponent allowing them to tackle us out of the contest too easily.

We play too slow, and look for too many short options by hand and foot as a first choice.  Our decision making and ball movement is pedestrian and needs speeding up and we need to look outside the immediate contest more often for clearance hand balls and the next kick up the field.

Too reactionary, too slow to make decisions and playing the game too short.  Brings other teams into the game too easily.

Mmnn, not good. No forward line.

In fact, balance of team feels wrong.

Not sure we can carry both oscar and weid in the side at this stage, neither offers enough and both get outmarked to easily. May both be good players in time but not there yet 

Unfortunately we're lacking in talls to bring in. Way as well keep em in, might just learn something

Both are still very soft. Weideman needs to eat some cement to harden him up, Oscar needs some hunger.......and a new brain.

Its the same team as last week but they aren't playing the same way. Lift boys

[Jack son 5 162]

That's the best football I've seen from a team this year in a qtr. 

 

[chook fowler 19,694]

Season defining last week - yeah right.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

If they didnt need hands to mark the ball you would cut their bloody hands off.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I think we are, not afraid to say it when the chips are down either.

Oliver looks ginger. And I don't just mean his hair colour. 

 

Ziebel is a piece of garbage. Honestly I hate his guts!

I'm actually really concerned about their talls. More than I was about Adelaide's. Brown, Waite can go on a real tear. 

Called it.

And people here thought we are a chance to win the flag. Lols!

We would've needed to add Josh Kelly instead of adding to Lewis retirement fund and extending Melkshams career. Then maybe wed of had a shot.

I feel their spread from the clearance is killing us, so there clearances are much more effective whereas is seems ours is a quick kick forward

Yep ... we've advanced the ball from our clean clearances but most of the time that movement is stifled after about 30 metres or so.

[Freak 100]

stop running under the ball weideman. Lewis, hit a fricken target or go back to casey.  and everyone just lift. Goodwin, get your players to lift during the week. for f%ck sake. bunch of soft [censored]!

[GCDee 3,200]

BT is also a [censored]... really don't like the channel 7 commentary, although Bartel and Riewoldt are pretty good.

[Chook 15,023]

The boys have come out with a bit more energy this quarter. Friday night and yesterday with GWS and the Tigers shows that large deficits can be worked back.

[DSP 1,488]

Intensity much much better

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

37 tackles by North 1st q

[Chook 15,023]

Salem leading the way so far this quarter. Love this kid. Lewis Jr.
