This is how we role mate. Can appear to be world beaters but when it matters can and do collapse against any opposition. Get used to it.
Still way too many passengers. Our last 6 picked each weeks and still bottom tier standard.
This game proves how much the game is played above the shoulders. Had one of strongest teams on paper and imo never looked likely from the second quarter against a bottom 4 team and we are playing for a finals spot. Go figure.
Harry needs to fix his technique when kicking for goal in positions where a snap kick is not the norm and needs to go back to working hard up the field and get on his bike on hard leads and stop wanting to wrestle and initiate contact and then flops playing for frees.
And Charlie seems to have his eye on the Coleman over the team imo. Is more interested in playing for joe the goose goals then using his fitness to burn weaker opponents around up the field and getting them the other way which opens up countless forward opportunities for us. Wants to play deeper and keep his tally kicking over imo.
Rucks were awful as well against D grade opposition.
Well put. This week, just like last week, when our mids are being held our small forwards disappear. Last week and for the short time he was on the field this game, Durdin looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Fisher did his usual disappearing act and Owies showed how average his kicking is.
Harry has had years to improve his kicking style but his attempted banana kick for goal has me questioning whether he should be kept at full forward. If today's forward line is the best we can put on the field from our list then he is going to have very limited opportunities in the next few games to find new ways in how not to kick goals. If the ball is not reaching him then he is wasted at full forward.
Would it be feasible to put him at CHB to take pressure off the defence and move JSOS to full forward?
This match was also a reality check with Pittonet. He is a solid average ruckman who on his best days will break even with the opposition rucks
