I'd have thought the Crows had some pretty heavy duty talls too, however I agree that I don't want to see the Russian ground into the turf or worse still injured when he is exhausted

Well we call it how we see it. His language might have been a bit strong but I agreed with his sentiments. Warnock is very vulnerable when it is one-on-one with the incoming ball. He tends to over manhandle, takes his eye off the ball and plays the man. For a big(gish) guy he is too easily pushed off the ball. I would prefer he keeps his eyes more on the ball and goes for it. He can be quite a good mark when he wants to. In defense of Warnock yesterday he came up against a giant of a man in Tippett who looked a whole head higher.

in defense of the op he did say warnock should still get a game next week

agreed

grammar i can understand sometimes, but caps and commas? sheeesh!

MM says hi B)

Not at the game I went to. Dropped simple marks, fumbled, looked lost at times

exactly....its all the fault of those posters who called for this....shame on you

yes, but the fwd press only works if you get more inside 50s than your opponent and this is best achieved by winning more centre clearances.... and this is exactly what we did. Give the credit firstly to the midfield then secondly to the fwd press.

Your comments mirrored my thoughts Still, by far his best game at MFC and earned another week if not two. Was surprised when I saw his possession stats

you mean a young short Glen Jackovich(sp?) don't you WYL?

The Uglier Bater trying to take an uncontested mark

Quite correct but it was easier to maintain forward structure hence fwd pressure because for once this year we had a big advantage in centre clearances giving the fwds something to work on. The midfield should take a bow (and remember how they did it for the rest of the season)

If the boys are looking for some inspiration for guts, determination and leadership they need only look at the their co-tenants at AAMI the Melbourne Storm. After playing a test match for Aust against NZ on Fri, Smith Cronk and Slater fronted up 24 hours later for Storms win against the Broncos. C'mn boys you have enough incentive.....just DO it

Dunno, but Hardwick's coaching is sure looking good tonight

how about Torch Bearer Red?

think about it.........

I couldn't care squat what the reasons are Its not what we were told was going to happen - bottom line Its worse than last year I'm sure the club are aware and doing what they can. we will probably have to wait till next year for any changes

clever point......but what if the one game plan is inappropriate or just poor given where the game is at now? we could go around in circles on this for ever. What I don't like is the lack of versatility in the game plan to adapt to changing conditions and opponents. Its not really rocket science.

wasn't there a letter from someone at the club which explained the team jumpers were different and made separately. Among the changes IIRC was a different fabric allowing for breathing or something like that. Also the player jumpers would have been made all together in one special batch.

that must be a heavy chip there snoop I thinketh the poster dost protesteth too much

pffft semantics............its "pinkish" and definitely not the promised "deeper/darker red"

next you'll tell us that grass isn't green, the sky isn't blue and Bails is doing a great job

careful here deejammim, you're getting too logical remember "Perception, whether correct or not, rules on this forum"

yes, lets take it one premiership at a time
