Re: JLT game 3 Reply #106 – March 10, 2017, 10:00:08 pm Must be a better showing in the last half of the quarter. Wish I could see what is happening. Why not wish for the stars while I am at it. Quote Selected

If you can't hit a target then you are going to get murdered on the turnovers. If I have to watch 22 more games of Dale Thomas I am going to break a lot of TVs this year. I should get sponsored by JB HiFi.Agree, he is nigh on useless. Quote Selected
Re: JLT game 3 Reply #108 – March 10, 2017, 10:02:10 pm Quote from: LP – on March 10, 2017, 09:36:32 pmThere two reason, we are the worst kicking side in the AFL, and we have forwards who have no idea where to led and how to create space.Anyway, looks like Casboult is off injured and we'll run Kreuzer into the ground against Sandilands for the rest of the game. That'll leave us with no rucks for Rnd 1. Priceless!Wouldnt bother too much about the ruck, Sandilands is smashing us anyway...25 hitouts to half time and 10 to advantage, play Rowe in the ruck and rest MK.Pickett, shows some class, Smedts is a woeful kick for goal, Cripps a one man band on the ball, and Weitering has been impressive down forward...Going to be a long year...Freo are not much IMO and rely heavily on Fyfe....

Terrific work rate, but of those 19 disp, 15 are handballs. Should I be worried about this ? Because I am.Are you serious? No pre season and after only 2 quarters in this series he comes out and touches it 19 times in a half and we are criticizing him??Cripps is a star. We don't have many let's not bag him as well. Liked Weiterings game. Quote Selected

Because I am.Don't worry one bit.We all know his kicking is not a strength, he'll work on it, but his job is the clearance work and he's one of the best at it.He can do damage with the handballGreg Williams in his 1994 Brownlow year had around a 100 more handballs than he had kicks.

Re: JLT game 3 Reply #112 – March 10, 2017, 10:11:27 pm Cripps is still rusty, much better to come when he has more games and gets some fitness....been great tonight but has lacked support so some of his possies have not been as effective as we lack ball carriers with class to take his handballs.....his kicking is still wonky, one across half back sat up and we were lucky to win the footy from the contest..

Liked Weiterings game.He's an elite contested beast (great), who is very reluctant to kick (not so great). Watch any footage of him : extract the ball, then handball. I didn't really pay much attention until Rob Walls pointed it out :http://www.theage.com.au/afl/carlton-blues/robert-walls-says-time-for-patrick-cripps-to-analyse-greg-williams-20160829-gr3ghq.htmlIn a game which has the word "football" in the title, in a game where precise kicking skills are worth more than hen's teeth, in a team which already has below par kicking skills - yes, I am serious, and yes I am a little worried. Maybe the problem is that Cripps needs to be surrounded by players that can kick. Maybe it's not him. But its disturbs me that he seems so reluctant to use his feet. Quote Selected

Re: JLT game 3 Reply #115 – March 10, 2017, 10:27:17 pm Would like to see Bolton make a stand with Thomas similar to how melb did with watts. Can't believe I'm saying this but would rather see Jacksh then thomas the dud in round 1. Quote Selected

Re: JLT game 3 Reply #118 – March 10, 2017, 10:45:59 pm Well, to this point, at least the score makes it look competitive, which is better than the previous two hit outs. What's Levi's kicking look like ? Anyone see any changes, improvements etc. ?Thanks Quote Selected
