Re: Post Game Participation: AFL Rd 11: Carlton vs West Coast - ElwoodBlues1 - 08-09-2020
I didnt want to use the word " jibbed " with Cripps because he isnt a repeat offender and is a brave player but all players go through a period when they lack confidence and what normally comes naturally like attacking the ball can become a thought process and he had his doubts in that marking attempt and didnt go hard enough.
Reckon you wont see that ever again...

(08-09-2020, 09:47 AM)Baggers link Wrote:The good:
Cottrell's first game, deserves to play next week, his turn of speed will be something special.
TDK. His 2nd qtr against NN was something for us all to get excited about.
Zachery's return. Should be a small forward for a while, quick reflexes, opportunistic goals and good defensive pressure.
Kennedy. Especially his first half. Imposed himself and took strong grabs. Coming along nicely.
Setters coming along nicely.
Walsh. Has shaken off the 2nd year blues very nicely.
Willo. Still a little fumbly, perhaps lacking a little confidence but improving slowly but surely.
The bad:
Again with the 4-7 goal turnaround, FFS. This time it was 30 pts. Sheesh, opposition sides will be scheduling their 4-7 goal run-on against us. I was deeply concerned when I saw the human Valium, Barker, talking with the mids at half time. And we started the 3rd without the intensity and tackling desperation of the first half... and this let the Weagles have a sniff.
Losing Martin.
So so:
Still not sold on Newnes.
Sammo gets dragged deep into defence and then he's rooted. Further up the ground... dangerous.
Murphy. Gets plenty and gave his all today but his occasional short steps and inability to really hurt opponents with his possessions is now an issue. Surely must retire and not get a contract renewal.
Crippa - take a deep breath and delegate, share the load. Oh, and let's take our time when shooting for goal and that missed mark... gulp, we looked a little nervous and didn't attack the aggott to ensure we marked it.
The bad:
You will seldom hear anything about umpires from me but who the fck is umpire 22? Appalling.
I repeat... the 4-7 goal run-ons. FFS
Ps When we learn to sustain our best, our tenacity re tackling, we will beat anyone, anywhere.
Cotterell was a big plus. I already knew TDK was going to be a player but did not realise how good Cotterell was. Didn't look at all out of place and kept his opponent very quiet for most of the game.
Love to see young players coming good.
Not sure why we don't play Gibbo in the middle a bit more. Our better performances seem to correlate to him spending more time on the ball from memory.
Kennedy is becoming a serious player. Love his marking - even pulls in some pack marks. He's developing so quickly.
Setterfield was good again - died out of it a bit later but who didn't.
We miss Charlie and Harry... so much. Marchbank, Kreuzer, MM, Newman, Cunners, Dow, SOS, etc. How good would it be to be playing that mob on our own home ground with every umpiring decision going our way and a fit list???
Worth noting they're premiership favourites on their own dung hill with only 1 injury and dominated inside 50s and we lost the guy who's probably top 3 in our B&F for most of the game. They always seemed to have 2 loose behind the ball and in the end the completely one sided umpiring took its toll.
I love Teague but hate that he's too nice to say anything in the media about that umpiring. In the last quarter Casboult lays a big tackle in our forward line. The WC player just lays there not moving. Makes less of an effort than Samo did - ball up. Just one of many instances.
I am generally in the anti-Murphy camp but I guess I've accepted that he just can't tackle and now I barely notice him.
Plowman was actually quite good today. We need a lot more pace off our half back line. They're all slow.

Sorry, no squibs play AFL. I’ll show you a dozen times a game that he puts his body where most of us ( including yourself) would think twice. We can accuse players of plenty, they may not go 100% one hundred percent of the time...... but they aren’t squibs.

Sorry but that's just a silly comment.
Re: Post Game Participation: AFL Rd 11: Carlton vs West Coast - jeza - 08-09-2020
SPS has played some ordinary footy at times and still turns the ball over a bit too much for such a talented player but I don't know how anyone could choose him to single out after today's game. I thought he was pretty good today.

While I compliment him for his game today btw, the team continues to show why it cannot ever become anything of substance in it's current form. To hear Teauges presser today was to think if you hadn't seen the game, that we'd won. He spoke of 'growth' etc. Sounds like a Boltonism. The truth is , yet again, and it doesn't matter WHO we play btw... because we do it again MOST sides, we go to pieces when the pressure comes and we don't know how to win. Not enough blokes either want to, or have the capabilities to die for it. The coach has no idea how to stop a run of goals, and this is reasonable given he is ANOTHER first year coach. I am mentally torn apart by what this club does to it's supporters year after year and soon enough will be enough.Have to disagree re pressure. We withstood their pressure over and over again and to me, they got a run on and we didn’t put the stopper on but in no way did I see it that we couldn’t hack the pressure. That was one pleasing part of the game, their biggest mature well drilled bodies smashed our guys time and again and we kept keeping on, until we ran out of puff. IMO.

Also persists in kicking across ground 15-20m kicks and playing safe when we need him attacking.
Not sure why we are persisting with him down back when he is a midfielder, sure we lack pace but you hardly see him run the ball down the ground just does those dinky kicks sideways. Got the skills but way too laconic and inconsistent down back...
Re: Post Game Participation: AFL Rd 11: Carlton vs West Coast - capcom - 08-09-2020
Agree EB. He is wasted down back

Didn't we get him as a small forward. Maybe time to play him mid-forward again.
Re: Post Game Participation: AFL Rd 11: Carlton vs West Coast - laj - 08-09-2020
We had 17 F50 tackles, no frees. Eagles 5 F50 tackles for 3 frees and 2 goals.
