This is the Zebras thread, don't know why you ranted about switching.53 touches and 3 goals. I'm assuming the Zebras have found a way to move the ball that doesn't involve a switch via full back every time.
Hey we're too crap to find our way through the opposition team, let's just try to go around them and avoid playing football. It's great, we get past them without a contest all the way to the half forward line. Then we see some opposition jumpers and crap our pants with an indiscriminate kick to a nest of them. How about Stuv's kick inside 50 to Paddy and 4 Swans on the weekend. Found himself with all the time in the world and that was the best thing he could think of to do. Bloody hell.
This idea of drafting/recruiting key positions first then worrying about the mids. All good as long as you're still in your job, you still have your sponsors and the supporters are still attending games by the time the mids come along. Oh and so long as the keys you recruited are actually good enough to be playing in the ones. Sorry, got the Monday blues. And we're still not even in line for pick 1, can't believe it.
I'll be back to my moderate attempts at mild humour and semi-light-hearted observations in a few days.
he suggested the only reason he got that much of the ball was because the coach of Frankston is a St Kilda ruck coach and he just let him do what he wantedHaha what’s Matt Lappin got to do with anything?
I posted it in the Zebras thread specifically so you could enlighten me as to how the Zebras were playing as compared with our one-trick-pony football we play in the "ones".This is the Zebras thread, don't know why you ranted about switching.
Wasn't needed against Frankston. With Billing, Freeman and Armo opening the field up with precision disposals.
Billing and Freeman were excellent in breaking any press The Dolphins tried.
No need to switch when the opposition can't play the press.
Football even at VFL level is about the press. Getting around it is part of football. Nothing to do with no trying to play football to beat it.

Contested possession and clearances skills. Both vital for a true mid and the other thing I keep saying he must be equal to the mid he replacing and that mid must be equal as hff as him. Unfortunately we have mids who cannot play elsewhere apart from Steven but he must play mid because he is the only one with pace. That is another reason I say our recruiting has been very ordinary.

I agree.. none of Ross, Steele, Dunstan can play anywhere except the centre square
midfielders are a dime a dozen. having someone who can influence a game and get midfield like numbers while playing at half forward is extremely rare.
Well I guess if he miraculously comes back with elite output then you could possibly argue that the coaches made the right call.I don't really get that, why does it look silly? He was playing badly, he got dropped and had a big game. If he comes back into the AFL and finds some form then how are you going to argue that dropping him had no impact on that?

No worries, but what I get form those stats is that despite Paddy clearly having a poorer fitness base and being widely regarded as disappointing, with 10% less game time he is still ahead of a guy who is in the peak of his career and is paid big money to be our #1 KPF in the following areasKern I respect your posts and I want Paddy to come good - but Paddy form is not to good and if you compare the 2 even with Bruce not playing well before his injury and lack of preseason - you can not compare
Paddy has been given more than a chance and has let us down .
I do think Bruce needs another game in the two's - however even with the lack of game time Bruce most probably has a bigger tank than Paddy , Paddy should go back to Sandy and kick a couple goals.
Give Battle the reins
Paddy needs another preseason hand home he comes good,

It’s a very serious matter indeed Cooper.I'M SERIOUSLY FED UP with the Jack Billings haters go f yourselves.
He is a young star who yesterday proved how good he is...no one has got anywhere near those numbers in the VFL this year against Frankston or anyone else....he can only play who he is against and he played well and will be back next week and dominate yet again this time against the Suns.
Great work JB.
Rewind to last year. If Jack kicks 36.23 & not 23.36, he probably makes the AA teamWhere do we find someone like that?
It’s a very serious matter indeed Cooper.
always a future 2nd rounderHow much did we pay for our bunch then? I assume a lot less than a dime.
Stop be so juvenile.I'M SERIOUSLY FED UP with the Jack Billings haters go f yourselves.

Kids just out of form & void of confidence
Ugh, so this. Just yuck, and so epitomizes everything wrong with Retcho's plan.Then we see some opposition jumpers and crap our pants with an indiscriminate kick to a nest of them. How about Stuv's kick inside 50 to Paddy and 4 Swans on the weekend. Found himself with all the time in the world and that was the best thing he could think of to do. Bloody hell.
