Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 11: Carlton vs. the Drug Cheats

[rocky]

Sorry Rocky - i didn't see much of yesterday's game - thankfully.

I'm talking about the overall season....

Ahhhhh, rightio. Yes, agree.
The fact that they used Ed yesterday EFFECTIVELY as a tagger only confuses me more as to why they wasted his talents for the other 9 weeks?

Exactly, the tactics were sound, but the support players were too few in number and continued to make simply unforced errors with poor decision making. Bolton cannot kick the ball for them.

Time and time again there were kick DIRECTLY to the opposition, poor choices and little thought process. I think it is also worth noting this is the first year without in-play runners. This has hurt us more than people acknowledge.

All true spf, but both on here and outside, it's falling on deaf ears.

They were missing way better players and they still pumped us.

CheatsFC still had their core senior leadership group out there to organise the kids.

Heppell, Hooker, Hurley, Bellchambers, Baguley, and another couple are part of 7 or more 100 game players, that's 100 games or more in the CheatsFC system, and another four or five 50 to 100 game players.

I said pre-match their injury situation was overstated by the media because it's mostly newcomers or kids they were missing. Fans get the impression they are young because of blokes like Saad is new to CheatsFC, but he's played 80 AFL games if only 30 or 40 for CheatsFC!

If the blokes don't know their roles - and how to execute before the siren sounds - a few runners aren't gong to change much.

I heard BB pull that one - I say BS.

Rubbish, it's exactly the problem.

He's about the 3rd or 4th coach to discuss that this year, and he was responding to question that referenced the very idea that was suggested by another coach!

BB has repeatedly refused to volunteer or create opportunities for player to have excuses, so you can't hang him for answering a question from the media!

It's not about runners it's about onfield leadership.

You put docherty, Simpson, Thomas and Jones into that team and they do the runners work for you.

Otherwise we are relying on weitering,  Levi, marchbank and plowman to do it.

All of them should be support cast at the moment and not the main event.

I said it pre game.  For each 100 plus game player we lose we weaken the output of two players.  1.  Due to someone else who is still learning needing to help lead, and 2.  Minimizing the output of a player who's had leadership from a different player before.  Not everyone instructs the same way.

Our issues are consistency based.  That wont be fixed by more change which is all I seem to see.

He'll not make any friends at CheatsFC saying stuff like that, I suspect he got nasty calls from Sheedy and Watson Snr after that statement!

Keep in mind our coterie club wanted to approach Worsfold and Teague to take over when Swann was trying to install Malthouse by white-anting Ratten! How much better would we be now if we'd have gotten Worsfold back then?

I think his honesty and logic should be broadcast at full volume in whatever board meetings are occuring at CFC.

Essendon are rubbish and we played the weakest team they have put on the park for ages. Their midfield is as soft as it gets and we just showed how soft and weak we are at the contest and how poorly motivated we are. Too many front runners who don't like to tough it out when it's hard and when Cripps is held.
Really missed Daisy, and that pains me to say it but he is a mainstay player now and dropping him was dumb.
SOS needs the blowtorch applied to him for not recruiting enough players with fight and heart,it's pathetic watching how weak and insipid we are. There is no excuse for that Essendon performance...
