Demon Disciple

Nothing as far as facilities goes.

Goody’s key pillars of contest and defence are failing miserably this year. Getting killed in clearances and all at sea when defending. This is 100% an attitude problem from both the playing and coaching group. Are they too proud to admit it to themselves? Or simply too arrogant to believe that it simply is not the case? Thankfully we still have time to right the ship, because this isn’t something that can simply be turned on like a light switch. A team like ours needs belief, confidence and momentum for it to be sustained. The positive is that we are 7-3 and havent really got going yet. The negative is that we are 10 rounds in and have yet to get going.

I think you mean truth 189227. Sounds like he’d be stepping down after this w/e and not seeing out the season. He owes the Tigs nothing after delivering 3 flags.

The way Clarrie has been playing of late, a little time off won’t be the worst thing for him. The big question is who will step up in his absence? 1 player is not going to fill the entire void, but several stepping up will. How much of a team do we want to be?

Max for me at the moment is being way too passive. I’m not wanting him to go out and physically intimidate, but for the love of god have a presence on the field Max.

I reckon the players and coaches think we do, but I’m not so sure. Surely we would’ve seen it for more than just half a quarter here and there during games this season. I reckon our fitness levels are poor, as is our attitude.

Not having 4 to 5 Petraccas/Oliver’s is not the issue. It’s the gap in quality between these 2 to the rest on our list. Our midfield quality is very shallow. So much so that when Clarry and Trac aren’t firing, we’re in big trouble (this is further exacerbated by our very poor ruck-mid connection). Forget the draft, we need to bring in quality midfield talent now. If that means letting the likes of Harmes, Brayshaw, Sparrow, ANB and JJ go, then so be it. Surely the likes of Tim Kelly, Whitfield, Greene & Green from WCE & GWS want some onfield success? Go after them.

Goodwin no comprende

We are indeed a very soft side. Don’t have a shred of nastiness in us.

We are simply way too reactive in seeing how the opposition plays. Heres a thought, be proactive and hunt the ball and player. We’re a bunch of individuals out there at the moment. A shadow of our 2021 selves.

Max needs to show some aggression and throw his weight around. We’ve become too nice as a team.

We are playing afraid. Afraid of [censored] it up, afraid of losing. Where has a g&d from 2021 gone. We were relentless in our attack and endeavour, now we are way too regimented in our ‘systems’ that when it doesn’t go according to plan we are all at sea.

Totally agree. Getting smashed in the clearances yet again. Not sure what they work on at training, but it ain’t ruck-mid connection, to go with forward connection. Our problems are so obvious, yet we continue to seemingly not try anything to rectify them

There’s a whole bunch out to the right, we just never go there

This game is just about over. Haven’t kicked a goal in over a quarter and don’t look like it either. We need a proper forward line coach, and the midfield needs a rocket as does Yze.

Or they could go the way of the 1&2c coins and no longer be considered legal tender.

The $1 coin will set you back $5. Figure that one out 🤪

I can live with Nut leaving, if we are able to bring in another 10-20 player to help our starting 22.

So I take it we can draft Harley Reid

@Monbon who’s his feline friend curled up next to him?

Needs to lose the puppy fat 😁

Kick out duties helps with #’s

Whilst Van Gogh cut his, Clarrie gets his ears ripped off on a weekly basis (no high frees paid though)

Too [censored] right. I want us to have the same mindset like we did against North. I don’t want an easygoing 30-40 point win, I want a 4 quarter effort.

Was at the Storm game last night, and this pales in comparison to the ref & bunker in charge yesterday
