We lose by a point and that ends our flag chances? You give in easily not like the team you support.

[Tarax Club 3,904]

joeboy - hatchet out tonight

jack billings - added some class

Given the startled deer in the headlights first quarter and the persistence with dry weather tactics in the wet. The club will employ a Maasai dietitian, add blodplatter onto the luncheon menu and use hermatogen as a gameday snack. Tom McDonald can fire up the barbecue but the steaks will be strictly rare. Ben Brown will of course be excused.

The Waverley Park irrigation technician will bought out of retirement to manage Casey Fields during future training sessions.

 

 

[Fritta and Turner 4,403]

Clarry - poor defensive game

Chin - could not run

Van Rooyen, vastly overated player!

[layzie 33,793]

No arguments.

Glad Woewodin is getting some credit. 

[Mickey 4,672]

I thought Howes had some good moments, despite being part of a backline that was well beaten in the first. He seems very calm under pressure

[beelzebub 23,347]

Lost in First

Interesting that a lot of the players who had big games last week were flat.

Kozzie, Langdon, Lever, Fritta, Petty and Oliver in particular.

The number of times in the rounds so far that we have scored zero or one or two goals for the quarter   Tells you we have serious attack problems ( as if we did not know) that have not been addressed.

no finals team with a chance can afford this error we need a dedicated forward coach with ability and expertise in the forward line. This is not to denigrate existing coaches  but it is not good enough.

it is wasting the talents of Gawn Viney Petrarca and Oliver not to mention Salem

May and Lever   These players were too hard to get to waste.  One flag is not enough it’s a fail !

Just filth, basically cost us game in first quarter, I can’t enjoy the game anymore, they’ve ruined it

Stafford has had the forward line gig for a while now and has not delivered IMV

[JJJ 1,263]

MFC: Too many passengers.

One more…

Petracca: Play angry more

It made me think a bit about the 2002 preseason when Daniher threw Neitz into the ruck and he played physical and angry. From that point onward he was a beast.

Stafford shouldv have bee delisted after last year even though injuries were a mitigating circumstance. 
Thought Mini might have turned it around although our entry and some aspects are a lot better than last season. Individual training on forward skills is necessary to get that aspect up to scratch. It’s also the consistency aspect of being ON and able to kick straight.

21 years old. FFS! Name another key forward his age we had access to averaging more than a goal game. Give the kid a break.

JVR is still learning the game but has the necessary agro and drive.

[Billy 2,529]

ANB - Great role model

Petty - Kick set shots!!!

Kozzie - needs some consistency 

Windsor - Fantastic first 9

Midfield- Smashed in guts

Forwardline - We need one!!!

The early turnaround kills us

Night games sap real energy

I hate them

I thought he was ok last night.  Would love for Fullarton to come in so JVR can actually play a whole game up forward.  From being at the game, seems to start either deep forward or on the bench, about 8 min mark goes into the ruck, does 8 odd minutes in the ruck heads off the ground then gets back on for the last 5 odd minutes each qtr as a forward.

Never plays our deepest forward, that seems to be Fritsch, which didn't work last night
