At some stage or another, our MC and coaching panel are going to have to put their ego aside and play talent. Cunningham omission is quite frustrating. As a member, I would like to know what benefit there is by not allowing cunners to string 5-6 games together. It just seems that we have all this talent but don’t have them playing in their positions
I think we should give him 20 or 30 games in the seniors before we judge.
Should he be learning how to kick in the seniors? The young mans confidence is shattered at the moment. Ziebell the thug will probably flatten him on Saturday because we can’t protect our youngin.
On a side note it will be interesting to see how Dow v Davies-Uniacke go in this game. Neither has set the world on fire so I'm expecting one or the other to improve significantly to earn some cred re their draft order selection. Hopefully our boy shines through.
Our boy can’t kick! It’s stupendous that we picked a kid at #3 and he can’t kick. Call me crazy but I fear we may have made a grave error.
It's not the coaches people. Let's face it, it's the players. They are just not A graders. Gibbs and Murph are good footballers, they are not great. Don't get me wrong, you need that type but only to support for the likes of Crippa
The game was there for the taking. We had our nose in front, tails up and then a midget laid out our ruckman. Game changer right there, coupled with a shocker from Gibbs and serious brains fart from Murphy = 0-2.
Casboult had a shocker that was masked by that goal in the last, Armfield should never, EVER!!! play a game for the blues again. Smedts wasn't bad, had some great moments but kicking is woeful. Curnow did a job on Lewis. Pickett, I'm not sure, when he's on he's great and then disappears for 2 qtrs. SPS learned how not to play the game. Marchy and the Plow were serviceable. Rowe did well on Hogan. Simon white- see armfield. Curnow will benefit from a week or 2 in the seconds. The general was ok. SOJ - has to learn how to lead. Ffs how can none of our forwards lead. Fūck me sideways, which is it so hard to lead?!? Oh, Big Matty Wright had a great game.
Murphy, Gibbs and Dicherty have made unforgivable mistakes.
Docherty is still fairly young at 23 so I can probably look past some of those silly mistakes. I can't do the same for Gibbs or Murphy. That lack of quality is what makes us a bottom 4 side.
