Re: RD 22 : Blues Choke Against Injectors (Anti-Losing Rage) Reply #61 – August 24, 2013, 10:39:42 pm Waite tried to take Mark of The Century over the pack 15m out from the Bomber goal and in the dying minutes of the match. Can anyone please, give me a rationale answer as to why, any player who has 10-years experience would try that on ??Complete & utter bell-end of the highest proportion !!! Quote Selected

Missing when the going got tough? I think we need to get one thing straight. There was very little pressure tonight. And it certainly wasn't that tough.Perfect example - why did McInnes elect to punch that ball instead of mark?Once again, we beat ourselves. We're nowhere near good enough on so many levels - can't kick, can't (don't wanna) run, can't tackle. Fairly basic requirements.Gibbs missed that last kick he had for goal because he felt pressure, Casboult panicked and turned the ball over under pressure, handpassing to no one after he had a chance to kick the footy....McInnes punched instead of marked because of the perceived pressure.Graham didnt think to kick the ball along the boundary because he was under pressure and kicked it back to the corridor...The pressure is mental and we fell apart like we always do vs teams who have this hold on us....."Felt" or "perceived" pressure? I'm not disagreeing with you. How did it come to this? No poise, no crisp handling, no confidence of forethought in knowing how to constructively dispose of the ball even before you take possession. All lacking. This debate about recruitment versus development is a furphy BECAUSE IT'S BOTH. Quote Selected
