Fork 'em

Just so frustrated. I'd like to tee off on all the things I've said before but I can't be bothered. Maybe tomoz.

Dangerous tackle my A.... Nearly did a somersault to get his head on the ground.

Imagine if our coach was McRae.

Hnnmm .... Do I need this frustration. That is the question.

Nice Roo. More of that.

Explains alot.

Good grief. I got the the answer from the first reply. Didn't stop a bunch of peanuts from jumping out their seats since tho'🙄 And we didn't get a flag for him. That's conjecture. Mays been good. Sparrow ..... Meh.

Dursmas arrow thing is pathetic.

Someone remind me what we got for Hogan.

I dunno. These long term contracts spook me. Any stat they come up with that's topped by Jake Stringer in a contract year is sketchy AF as far as I'm concerned. And Shai Bolton we've hardly heard a peep from since he got his Freo pay day. Dangers the only one up there with any real consistency over any amount of time. We paid Oliver and he went off the rails. Tracs not interested in the hard ball anymore. I'm kinda with Kane Cornes. I don't like it but we can't afford to lose him. I also think Pickett would've blown that stat sheet out've the water if he was cleaner with his hands and a reliable kick for goal. That's right. I said what I said.

ElDiablo14 said - One thing I would like to applaud from the club yesterday is the perceived physicality and agression our guys brought from the word go. We have complained many times how we let those thugs bully us around every time we played against them. But yesterday was for sure a step in the right direction, let's keep it that way with this mob. Fork 'em - replied Nah , Got the Beemer booked in for a service tomoz. wouldn't want to get hurt.

Well obviously you can. But you can't enjoy all the perks and then spurn the risks. And there is a difference between bravery and stupidity. No-one expect them to take stupid risks.

Yeah I get all that but when it boils down that's why they're gettin' paid. It's also danger money. They're often referred to as modern day gladiators. Can't demand ya million bucks a year and enjoy all the perks then spurn all the risk. Gotta make sure you're in tip top nick for all those overseas holidays ya know.

Must admit I lost touch with reality for abit after the Brisbane and Swans games. Even yesterday proved we can match it with anyone on the day. Inconsistent effort and accuracy in front of goal is our nemesis.

Was going to suggest the same but been to our power crazed HR dept a few times over the last couples years so. Maybe not.

Yeah that was an instant reply to a goal that put us level pegging I think.

Nah, look at our set shot kicking as a whole. They've all got the yips in front of goal. They all go for the round the corner kick or play on. That's lack of confidence IMO. Who do you look at in our side with a set shot and think .... " this one's going through." Me , I can't freakin' look when we need a goal and they're having a set shot.... At any of 'em.

Well honestly. When the pressure kicks come for goal at Collingwood in the last qtrs for example. I think the mindset is "We kick these. Cause that's what we do." I think ours is the opposite. That's why we got guys playing on from inside 50 to avoid the pressure.

Whereas I think May should pull his head in. The rip he gave Lindsay after the garbage 50 wasn't on. Lindsay was moving away from the mark and got pinged to every-ones surprise. Then the 1st year kid's got one of our so called leaders giving him a red faced spray in front of 80K people to go with it. As for Gawn I don't know what May expected. We all know Gawn can't kick at the best of times, he'd been running and jumping his [censored] off for 2hrs. 30seconds left, if we wanna get down the other end of the ground he couldn't go back through the congestion up the members side. Had to be the open side and apparently the ump also called play on putting more pressure on the kick. I'd like to also compare the meters covered during the game between Gawn and May. See how far Gawn ran and then see how far May ran. See how often May had to jump into or wrestle some other bloke at ball-ups etc. Then discuss if the kick was lazy or tired. Anyway, what's done is done and I'm not gonna roast the guy who give us 100% every week for stuffing up what would have been a Hail Mary play anyway. Damage to our chances of winning was done earlier.

I also feel they get the especially dubious frees/50s early in the game so it's not so glaringly obvious in the dying minutes.

Thought similar today. We're reactive rather than proactive.

I saw him drop his knees onto his legs after a mark. Wouldn't have been surprised if Melk jumped up and had a go but didn't. 29-20, somethin' like that.

Totally agree for the reasons you state. Also their elite disposal. Been watching those 2 carve us up for years and they've been the difference more than once. Sidebottom particularly.

Thought good coaching long term myself when I heard he was on Sidebottom. Would've learnt some things from one of the best today.
