Lachie O Brien has played more games than he should have this season, and yesterday showed why. He had almost zero idea how to beat his opponent (Tomlinson) who even if they were similar games experienced and seasoned (they are 5 years apart at minimum) and he is giving away a whole foot, and probably about 20kgs to go with it. Instead of changing that matchup (lets face it, O Brien didnt have another one anyway) he let him get an education.
As for the last quarter, we have played one poor one in every game this year, I don't see the point in singling out a quarter where we could barely get our hands on the footy even if the opposition was playing a man down. It just made the numbers even, but we are that out manned at the moment, I don't see the point of even looking at it. Its embarrassing and it hurts, but it isnt a coaching problem, when half your side can't compete with a side sitting in the top 4. Thats a personnell issue.
Apologies Thry if I misread your comments....agree on your Obrien thoughts, I didnt even comment on him because that matchup was so heavily weighted to the GWS player, that wasnt a learning experience that was fighting out of your division.....interesting how GWS and Richmond(McIntosh) have reverted to the old fashioned tall winger.
Last quarter I agree....more the lack of effort from our players than Boltons coaching, we didnt have the equipment to compete and Cameron on the other hand had exactly what he needed to bury us with Ward on Cripps and Kelly all over our best tagger in Ed Curnow, wasnt much Bolton could do but ask for effort......
