Sounds like the old ABC commentary.

Jesus footballers are dumb they just handball to anyone that is in a worst position than them.

Well good on him, at least now, the media can go pick on another player to haunt all year.

“Every game this year Nick Daicos would run back and get the ball back from the kick-in,” former St Kilda player Leigh Montagna said on First Crack. “And he would set up the offence and set up the play but by having Ben Keays there it takes away those handball receives that Nick Daicos was able to get all year without any attention. Let me guess who also said that after their Lions game?

Well I see things differently, forget last night unfortunately north are uncompetitive from the get go, then they ended up 3 injured and only two on the bench, but you can only play who you are up against. You have to ask yourself how are we going to go against the top sides regarding our forward structure, and if we keep just bombing it we are going to find it hard to score against these sides, I would not mind it if we had a Curnow, Cameron etc but we don't and good sides know that. Anyone looking at the replay you will see players calling for the kick into the centre with no one around but players don't even look, we should have players leading and dragging their opponents away from the bigger guys to give them a chance to impact. Rounds 10, 12, 13, 15 will give us a guide to our seasonand with a bit of luck staying in the top 4.

I like Spargo he has a good footy brain, but gee Chandler also has a good football brain and continues to kick goals, so spargo will have to earn his spot and Chandler would have to lose his.

And that will be the problem with today's style, it was a problem last year and remains so, if watch the replay there are numerous time the ball could have gone across the ground to players on there own with no one near them but we just kept going long, I will ask you this how do you think we will go against the pies defence and movement?

In saying that, neither is BBB

I was think the same thing, spargs will have to spend some time in the VFL.

And will get the same result with BBB.

And why do you think that is? And remember they ended up with 3 players on the bench due to injury.

Trac has changed his goal run in.

Have you taken your medication? where did I complain about about the lions game, I only answered your question about the Lions being downhill skiers nothing more, you were the making excuses about the side not me, I only answered that we had problems all year, but it's best that you take a BEX and a good lie down SON.

Please don't make excuses we had a dysfunctional forward line all year, they even tried to change it towards the end of the year, blind Freddy could see that, well not you it seems.

Sorry to hurt your feelings....

How did they go against us in the finals last year?

Lmfao.......

So a few words mixed up but are you that slow not to be able to understand?

Either of those boys would run rings around him, so NO, the Lions and Bombers to a large extent except in the last quarter, showed how to play them and it's simple if you are disciplined, it's not the first possession that matters it's the follow up possessions that hurt you, forgetting who's who the one that kicks out then runs on for the take disposal and the next one what you have to do is position yourself so he cannot do that the other one hangs back from the contest or he starts to run in thus his opponent goes with him and then he backs out and becomes a free man, all it needs is that one player at a contest stays with him it does not have to be one person and thats called discipline.

People are now waking up....

Glad you had a look, it's a small fix that can have a big impact with him, surprised they have not fixed that.

Oh 4 against East Perth under 10's did you watch Casey v tigers an injury depleted side?

Great players like Judd, Greg Williams, Ben Cousins, etc just had that awareness to take a split second to dispose of the pill, Oliver when playing on just kicks it without looking at times that's all i'm saying it's one thing to get 30 -40 possessions it's another thing for them to be effective, I accept that not all disposals are going to advantage but the idea is to lower the clangers that he has.

Yes he is and agree with that, but his disposal lets him down always does things at full pace he needs to slow down before he disposes of it.

Well there is the good, we won, McVee Getting better every game Chandler coming into his own Viney welcome back to late 21 form, makes a big difference when he takes first option Now the bad, Game plan still playing one side of the ground just bomb it down, May tried to kick it to Viney on the other side of the ground, trouble was he had two player on him. Again we just bombed it in to the forward line and expect a different result no wonder JVR and Petty had trouble doing anything early, if people think BBB and Tmac would have made a difference they are kidding themselves. Hibberd, well can this guy have some brain fades the one thing that is concerning, he has a habit of just handing it off to someone in an even worse position or just plays on and kicks it to packs. Oliver, for him to get a higher level he needs to start to think his way through things, just playing on for the sake of it does not help, wasted kicks, handballs to nowhere, but I also put that down to trying too hard to do the right thing. Trac is another one who can pinpoint a pass from know where, but then just kicks the ball without looking and at times, seems to come into the game a lot more as the pace goes out of the game. We will struggle against sides that are able to move the ball at pace if you watch the pies, saints and yes the bombers they have an ability to chip the ball around till something opens up and then go at full pace, we still kick down the line get to a contested ball and if you watch these sides on TV watch the down the ground vision of them transferring the ball it's brilliant. Forward line, it is still a mess, when we recruited BBB he kicked a most of his goals at north on the lead but we still insist on bombing it in, he will struggle to kick multiple goals against top sides or anyone else for that matter unless we change it, but don't hold your breath, JVR is young but there is some talent that will evolve with him, just get someone in to help him with body positioning and forward line play. There is a saying that goes like this, build a wall forward of H/B and you control the game, lions, bombers and pies do that and it showed how we had trouble getting passed it when all the players are in three quarters of the ground. Now we did win but it was against a side with some key injuries but a win is a win and I hope as the season goes on we evolve and tinker with the game plan to make it more effective.
