It's true, Yarran too has lost the plot, poor management from Barker that seems to have backfired on him. Still, you simply cannot forgive ducking out of marking contests, especially from a bloke that is six foot plus. That is a complete no-no and has been for 150+ years. Barker is weak for keeping him (Everitt) in.
He is starting to lose me a little is Barker, just ever so slightly.
If the president exerts his influence we will have a different coach irrespective of the process.
Twas a great effort no doubt but in the end when it's all said and done if Brisbane beat Melbourne tomorrow they are on equal wins with us so that says everything about our year. We could have/should have won around another six games which means we are good enough to be playing finals football IMO. Still, after the last few weeks I am more buoyant about our prospects next year, I just hope we dont sign Mick until he proves himself, somehow I think that won't be the case.
Great to see Murphy take no sht and Crowley on his hands and knees off the ball. I think the most impressive thing is the way we approached the game, the boys were up and they came to not just play but to win.
Y'day's Saints performance was one of the worst I've seen by any team for years....it was truly appalling. Lose to that mob......*shudder* I don't wanna even think about it.
Brock to Beams is a must in my opinion from the start.
Id also be sending Everitt to Harry O and Lucas with Sidebottom.
There small fwds at least one always get a hold of us we must put extra work into them.
Id send Robbo to Maxwell annoy him and if Robbo keeps his eyes low like last week he will be a good lead up target. He hit a couple of our lfwds beautfully last week.. lace out..
Seriously if people are not freighted about what potentially could happen Friday night you must be disillusioned.
Explain to me how we are going to stop Beams, Pendles, Swan, Sidebottom. The way Macaffer is going it’s a safer bet he ill impact the performance of one of our mids most likely the skipper.
Elliet, Blair at least one always get a hold of us.
The bits and pieces I saw the 'Bolt played a role as a mobile big player around the ground... pity he can't finish off his good work up forward. Did a lot of small things that I saw; might not have marked but made sure the other ruckman didn't, laid blocks, made spoils, put pressure on and prevented clean take away from the contest etc... not everybody is a champion but if everybody puts in and contributes where they can, the results tend to go your way.
My only criticism of Levi was he got pushed off the mark a bit to easily for a guy his size and its just smarts need to know contact is coming and plant his feet
