Bombers officially gone just now FFFS just win the Bloody game and give us supporters some respect.....MM will have the Red Pen out on plenty of careers(if not already decided)...if I see any guys peek or shirk it I don't care how big a name they are...trade them....we are lucky to have a true battle test on our B graders...lets see if they can step up....they served up a steamy turd last week...time for REDEMPTION!!!@!
Go Blues...love to screw up Tiges or Pies season.....Elim Final
Happy to stand corrected Brettie...just my observations at the game...depends how a clanger is classed I probably included some contested marks where Bomber players outmarked our guys so probably on the harsh side....just was an irritating trait that left an impression..no probs but I stand by my other comments on our general kicking skills
Will get howled out of the Forum for this.....but I counted at least 8 of Simmo's kicks going straight to Bomber players..yes he was clearly our best and most courageous player..unquestioned from me>>but Simmo's disposal is symptomatic of why we are a mediocre 8-9th team.....looping chipped kicks with too much hang time for opposition teams to read and intercept....have a look at Hawthorns kicking skills...the current industry standard....they hit low hard passes that a) get from a to b quicker and b) cut the opposition player from getting in for the spoil/intercept......our field kicking skills suck let alone our goal kicking...maybe they go hand in hand....do we have a kicking skills coach? If so he should be sacked......
Also can someone take hold of Levi for 6 months of special basic kicking skills training in summer?
Just a few simple thoughts...maybe the Elephant in the room?
Was close to boundary line on Members wing last Sat nights debacle.... couldn't help but notice close up Murphy and Gibbs always take a split second peek upwards at the oncoming hit..than they fumble and get off an ineffectual pass or turnover...I call that soft and maybe Murphy's facial injuries have brought that into his game....harden up Princess's don't see Selwood,Hodge,Bolton etc doing that.
Also something I harped on 2 years back and drives me crazy...why do our Ruckman Kreuzer/Warnock etc always stare at the opposition ruck man at the ball-up...is Capuano teaching this? Surely they should be focussing on the ball and using peripheral vision to spot the CFC target and get an effectual tap...maybe I am missing something eh?
Just watching that wanker Eddie Everywhere on 360...just said Carltons 10 year pain from missing draft picks from salary cap breaches was more from the club being in total decline and effectively stuffed>>>yeah sure>>>Goddard and Wells running around as 200 game players wouldn't have helped at all plus the next year...what a tool...got me hoping we do slot in on 9th spot and play Collingwood and knock them off>>>>>>now that would be delicious!!!!
Essendon should be decimated...money fines mean nothing...Paul Little can write a cheque from petty cash>>>this seasons points mean nothing>>>>draft picks the key 2 year ban from 1st 3 rounds>>thats what hurts!!!
Warnock?...is he fit? Monstered by their rucks..he played well last year in our 20 point win last year at Patto stadium...what's he doing on the list if he won't be played by MM v a big ruck outfit?
