Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Rnd 20- Carlton v Bulldogs -Post Match Autopsy
I watched MM presser and he said he was most disappointed with the fact that the first bounce strategy was not executed. I could see from the first bounce the Doggies were all over us. As I said in the in game thread, they should have been up by 4 or 5 goals at qtr time. I could tell in the first 10 minutes we were gonna get done, I have a gut full of this soft and insipid side. Fark the Essendon Drug Scandal, lets worry about our own back yard.

the presser was about as inspiring as the onfield stuff.
Didnt say it was inspiring, used the point about the first bounce, thats all I got from it. For a side that had a glimmer of hope about playing finals and playing a team below them on the ladder, that was an absolute disgrace. Richmond will spank us by 60+.

If I dont see the following right across the board:
- Desperation equivalent to an Ethiopian food drop
- Ruthlessness
- Aggression at man and the footy (legal or otherwise)
- Low turnover rate
- High conversion rate
- Hard running
I will spew up!
That is all.

Nah, I don't remember too mant complaining about his errors in previous years. I remember people calling him the barometer of our team. A few suggested the captaincy. The final against WCE and his fine game on Fletcher the week before.
I think I told this story at the time but I used to work across the road from Visy Park. We used to use their facilities for conferences and training sessions. Once when we used the facilities, we went down to the open area just next to the gym to do a group role play thing. On the way to the area, we walked passed a white board with every players name on it and next to the names all the "areas of improvement" for each player. I recall all Robbos items where all disposal related. The word "butcher" was amongst the adjectives listed. We are talking a few years back now, nothing has changed in my opinion.
