that's more like it ... end of the flood?
... thought i'd jumped in a time machine and travelled back to 2004-2005 the way we played today. gone was the ultra-defensive uber flood and negative mindset. instead we played positive, attacking football and backed ourselves .... and surprise, surprise .... we won in a canter. funny about that. b...

I hope Raph plays the full game forward, we have been breaking down all year across half forward with only the 1 target (Roo). Having Raph and Voss as extra marking targets could be just what the doctor ordered. couldn't have said it better myself. imo this has been our major weakness since hammer ...

And how did Thomas's game plan fail exactly, genius? Must have been in that it won us too many games and enabled us to score too many points!! :lol: :lol: :lol: the lesson out of all this, teflon, is that if it's not broken don't fix it. i am looking forward, mate, not back ... i don't particularly...

The key this week is getting our hands on the footy through the middle blake in ruck is a step in the right direction imo. at least we don't waste a spot on a big bloke who might win a few more hit outs but does nothing around the ground. goose is also a ruck option. i can remember him performing c...

Think you are all being harsh on Raph, the boy can play IMO and will eventually be best 22 permenantly. .... I am befuddled that we would have come to the point where Blake is a ruckman again. i've always thought that raph would make it, too, provided his attitude and work ethic is there. he has ta...

who has a 'plan B'? nobody has a 'plan B' the reasons why plan A don't work are things like skill execution, pressure and tackling, talk and etc... all are things that a) won't change in a 'plan B' and b) would cause plan B to fail as well there is no magic button, no easy switch...if your plan A i...

Re: Harsh realities...
with great sadness i agree with you about harvs and thommo
however i still think fraser has something to offer and would benefit from a more attacking game plan. he's only 31 or 32 isn't he?
as for hammer, give him one more shot at it. one more injury and its curtains

i genuinely thought we'd be a contender, especially given what i now know to be our very good run with injury in the second part of the season after all, we were told that GT couldn't coach a pig to be dirty and anyone could coach our list to the finals etc, etc. i'm very disappointed by what i've s...

it is nearly impossible to play well with all the running away from the forward line we do. i noticed in the last quarter there was one time where there was no-one at home except for milne he was left to contest a high floating ball against two bigger opponents ... not exactly his forte more of the...

Put Goose at CHF? He's had two shots on goal this year. One was smothered by the man on the mark, and the other was lucky to stay in the stadium.. well for instance when roo was being well-held and comfortably beaten in the second half last week perhaps goose could have broken the logjam by grabbin...

Re: try something different
well if you listen to some of the apologists for RL around here you will learn that they are no longer the creative players that they were ... they've somehow lost their talent in 12 months. spin doctoring bullsh*tn1ck wrote:disappointing given the creative players we have at our disposal.

Re: try something different
i hear RL saying "modern footy is all about match-ups".
well how about making them match up on us for a change.
take some chances before the season is over and give us something to hope for through the off-season

try something different
this was also a criticism of our previous coach, but when things aren't going our way we don't seem to have a plan b. what would be wrong with giving goose a run at chf when roo is being blanketed. chuck roo at chb and see if it doesn't shake things up a bit. OR throw goose in the ruck for a while a...

On the Crowmo board on Bigfooty(2008 puzzle) the talk there is Kosi. might be goose. maybe they remember how he can play and not what we've seen in 2007 since his return from injury. i hope it is not. i hope it's not kosi or fisher either. all are very valuable required players integral to our futu...

good luck to them if they win it. they seem to have learned a lot from the beltings we gave them in recent history and are now playing the sort of risk-taking, barnstorming football that deserves to, and often does, win premierships they stuck to their guns and suddenly it has all clicked into place...
