It should have been a Nil-All draw at worst, but it wasn't we lost that battle resoundingly.
[member=20]kruddler[/member] PS: I don't think you mean stats this time last year, this time last year Pittonet didn't play! Kreuzer and Casboult rucked, didn't Kreuzer get injured in Rnd 1?
Last year....for the year....at least half of it. Not a single game.

I'm surprised you don't remember... you spent a lot of time arguing over my made up stats because you couldn't comprehend how deduction and %'s worked

I've made this point before, but as repetition is one of my core competencies, I'll say it again. What we see as fans (i.e SPS being soft etc.) may be symptomatic of our own biases and assumptions. I've heard Teague say on more than one occasion that he wants a balance of some players in the contest and others on their feet ready for the receive and distribution. Teague has said a few times he doesn't want too many getting sucked in to the ball. That's the only legit thing I can think of as to why SPS plays the way he does. He is one of our better distributors, and he may simply be playing to instruction. I don't personally believe that Teague or Bolton or anyone else would tolerate not putting in, I do not believe that SPS would have survived this long, and I don't believe he would continue to get senior games if that were the case. I don't believe the coaches are blind, and I don't believe he is a protected species.

I thought it odd last night how we used Setterfield, he looked primed in the pre-season to play inside, and he barely got a run at stoppages.

Teague and his MC have to answer that.
How can it be a HB, BP and recycled KPD kick almost half our goals?
I can't say Cripps would do better in that circumstance, he'd perhaps just give away a free or miss a target too?
The ways to fail are myriad.

Hear what you say Paul but I find to be one of the most frustrating and irritating players to watch. Can be brilliant but makes mistakes and at critical times. His distribution can be good but often lacks penetration and puts his targets under pressure. Doesn't always show the urgency and ferocity in defence and too often looks too lazy to chase. I'm afraid I'm over him.
Reality always wins in the end.

If what you and others say is true, then we have big problems at the club, because what you and others are implying is that the coaches are either corrupt or incompetent. In my view there can be no other explanation. I don't buy the "we have no on else to select" argument. We've had 4 trade periods to move him on if he was that bad.

I'd very much like to see him out of defence. We don't need him there and he's not that good in that role.

For us we need to be at full throttle from the start and pinch games from finals contenders now not sit back and hope the leaders in the marathon don’t get over the hill and out of sight
