Re: JLT Game 2 Reply #150 – March 04, 2017, 04:31:29 pm All those posters saying we have half a team in today and using that as an excuse are absolutely delusional. I'm not at all critical of the kids. It's our senior players out there today that are simply bloody awful. Their skills are deplorable! Well below local footy standard which is a bloody joke. Missing target from 20 metres more often then they hit them. I'm no coach but Why the heck do we waste a spot on our list with these players that will never amount to anything!! Jones Thomas White KerridgeGrahamArmfieldLambSmedtsBoekhurst Buckley PalmerThat's a fair chunk of the team that played today and an insight into how deep our woes are. And why the hell you would draft Parmer over Barlow is beyond me.
Re: JLT Game 2 Reply #151 – March 04, 2017, 04:32:50 pm I can only think that BB MAY have used this and last game to show players just how far off we are as an AFL force and how much work we have to do? Dispel any possible complacency. If that was the aim then it has been very successful. If that was the idea then it was a cr@p one!

You have s ruckman rucking to strong speedy mids, who kick it to any number of lead up forwards. Real forwards, who know how to kick straight Last Edit: March 04, 2017, 04:34:58 pm by LoveNavy

Re: JLT Game 2 Reply #154 – March 04, 2017, 04:39:45 pm I keep thinking about how Richo and his cohorts have managed to turn the Saints around and into a highly competitive young outfit in such a short time when we are clearly really struggling.I can only think that we made such poor recruiting and contractual ballsups that it is just taking us much longer (far too long) to shed the dead wood and progress the rebuild. That should be our new theme song - "Oh the Deadwood Stage is a comin' on over the hill"!
Re: JLT Game 2 Reply #155 – March 04, 2017, 04:40:07 pm Well that was pretty soul destroying. I didn't expect much with the side we had in, but the effort and intensity from the mid tier players is what disappoints me the most. The basic skills on display were horrible. Our tackle pressure was non existent, and we turn the ball over with terrible decisions and awful execution. I could name names but I won't waste my time - we all know who they are.
Re: JLT Game 2 Reply #156 – March 04, 2017, 04:41:20 pm Well, I'm glad I follow the Patriots in the NFL. They give great value even though they've been hobbled by the draft and penalties. The only thing I can see that's anything near similar from the Blues is that Bill Belichick and Brendon Bolton have the same initials.

And why the hell you would draft Parmer over Barlow is beyond me.Thomas has already amounted to something. Ask Collingwood. Absolute star. Dead on the water here though.Reckon Armfield always has some value and think Buckley offers a bit as maybe Kerridge. As for the other I wouldn't miss them if they didn't play.

We've had some damn good coaches at Carlton just that they were never senior ones here. Maybe they were happy to escape...lol!!!
Re: JLT Game 2 Reply #162 – March 04, 2017, 04:52:31 pm Jaksch apparently kicked 4 in the NB's and Sheehan got though the game well.Jaksch may be happy to stay there rather than try his luck in the senior forward line..lol. Last Edit: March 04, 2017, 04:54:30 pm by laj
