Re: VFL 2019 Rd 4: Northern Blues vs. Werribee

Fraser is very easy on those players...The Werribee crew from the burbs with No AFL listed players embarrassed the NB's..
Lang: He’s three games back from a lengthy layoff so we think he’s starting to get going in the areas of the game we know he’s good at.
What is that carp???....got news for you Josh, he never got going in any areas and looked like he couldnt give a rats clacker either...
Lobbe: He spent a fair bit of time up forward and his leading patterns were quite good, we weren’t able to utilise him often enough. His second half and competitiveness around the stoppages allowed us to get some momentum back. I love his leadership on the field, he’s always trying to galvanise the group and get them on track with what he needs to achieve.
Momentum back?.....they smacked us, especially at the stoppages......leading patterns? FFS.....we never had the ball to give it to him and if we did he wouldnt have been able to mark it anyway, did he take a mark for the game?
Fas: He’s an experienced player who can bring a lot to our group with his leadership and energy, he was about as energetic as a sloth in a coma.....
Honestly...Clive Palmer and his horrible robotic ads would have more cred than this garbage Fraser dished up, you would swear it was a close game, how about some real feedback and being brutally honest?
Werribee is sitting third on the ladder with a %age of 147 and they are free to play their strongest 22 and not worry about getting games into underdone teenagers. I think it’s just a bit simplistic to dismiss them as a team from the burbs.
Of course Fraser has to choose his words carefully but his comments are made in the context of full knowledge of player instructions, workloads and expectations. Supporters’ reviews are interesting but are made without the context of the coach’s comments. I don’t dismiss supporters’ reviews but I value the coach’s comments just a little more. Together they provide a pretty good picture of where our AFL listed NBs are at.
