RD 7 : Blues V Giants (Pre-Match Pre-Amble)
(05-15-2015, 12:02 AM)Thryleon link Wrote:Why does he need to win when we are rebuilding and the club publically announced it after round 2?

People keep looking at our coach as to why we are lacking motivation to play well, but I can tell you now, if guys like Trigg and Lo Giudice have upset the apple cart at the footy club and in such a large way that people probably can't stand walking in the front door right now.

So what are the players' thoughts when Mick blames their lack of talent for his shortcomings.

Quote:I heard a rumour about Chris Yarran about how he loves Mick, but hates the defeated mentality of our organisation.

I heard a rumour about Yarran that he loves the club but cannot stand Mick.


Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
Boekhorst has been average and last week he was soft too pulling out of a couple of contests but he needs games to condition himself to senior footy.
Like Graham he is good enough to get 20 plus possies in the NB's each week without too much effort and will learn nothing.
I'd be training him as my new Garlett and trying to harden him up, his skills are ok but as discussed many times his light frame isnt up to senior footy yet.
GWS are not a hard unit and rely on moving the ball quickly and are one team you would think Boakhorst would be more comfortable playing against...
We will win this.

We have a number of players coming back who will reduce the pressure on others.
GWS are still a young side, who will be confident after beating the premiers....over confident!

We're two games and a bit of percentage outside the eight.
Time to make our charge. Wink Big Grin
TO be fair, Mick's way is to give them a taste, drop them back and apply that to VFL.

Cripps and Menzel seem to be showing good signs of that.

Still makes no sense to drop Graham. Love to see Whiley given a free reign.

One tip in the HS this week, the kiss of death....now that's embarrassing! :o
Graham and Boekhorst drops is deplorable, yet not surprising fro MM.

I can see what he is trying to do but there comes a time when you need to play a group of young blokes together over a block of games......and not as the subs!

Hopefully BB does well at VFL level. rate him and think he can deliver some goods to us. Graham just keeps on getting a raw deal. He must have again forgotten MM's birthday or something!
For some reason,I have a belief that we will beat the Giants .
I know they played well to beat the Hawks but that was in Sydney.Also they are favorites ,will the pressure get to them .
My 2 main worries are Mumford in the ruck and Cameron in the forward line.Expect an upset .I will be there for the simple reason ,the more you lose the closer you are to a win  so come on Blues get it done  Smile

I'd love you to be right H, but having sat through last Sunday's effort I would be amazed if we win this week. So many  things have to be done so much better.
Reality always wins in the end.

to warrant a game then let me know....
Good to see White, Carrazzo and Menzel back and I guess Tutt deserves another go given he played well in the NB's last week....
Watto gets another go and it will be interesting to see how he is used...lead up, decoy for Casboult or genuine marking target like Levi..

Watto will play in defence. Actually he will play forward but as we play 18 blokes behind the ball he'll play alot in the backline.

Just for a change I hope i'm wrong on this one.

Mick explains - and has a whinge.  ;D
