Re: 3 Things I've learned round 15 vs the Eagles
1. Cordy is the best defender on our list.
2. Tom Campbell may yet change my mind about him.
3. Our dumb decisions hurt us more than our poor skills.

Re: 3 Things I've learned round 15 vs the Eagles
1. Four players in Stringer Suckling Dickson and Honeychurch virtually didn't touch the ball in the first half.
2. Another poorly selected team by the MC.
3. Apart from Redpath the forward line was non existent with only one avenue to goal.

Re: 3 Things I've learned round 15 vs the Eagles
1. It's amazing how poor our disposal is when you consider how many 'outside' players we pack into the side. A side containing Hunter, Macrae, JJ, Suckling, Murhphy, Daniel, Dale, McLean, Biggs, Picken, Dickson and we can't hit a target.
2. We simply need to go taller up front. How many times were Picken and Wallis our marking targets?
3. Roughead is not a defender...we knew that 3 years ago. Apparently it had to be re-learned

You can add Honey to that list of tall marking targets. Its not only about playing talls its about set up. Our forwards were sucked way too high up the park to even have an impact for the majority.

Re: 3 Things I've learned round 15 vs the Eagles
Brereton was riding Stringer hard today, and sadly he was on the money .
Jake didn't work anywhere near hard enough and looks like he doesn't want body contact .

Re: 3 Things I've learned round 15 vs the Eagles
1. We are a dour old stayer not a cox plate horse.
2. The game is in massive trouble if peasants like Barrett can be a conductor for the umpiring department.
3. I'm not righting us off until I see how we go against Adelaide. A better opponent might wake us up.

Re: 3 Things I've learned round 15 vs the Eagles
1. We had no one capable of lifting the team today.
2. Whenever we had chances to kick team lifting goals in the first 3 quarters we failed.
3. We are not running and spreading like we used to.

I think the guy who came across from Collingwood during the preseason took over as chief assistant coach.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I don't think we are going to do a Makybe Diva though. It's looking like Kiwi at the moment.

Re: 3 Things I've learned round 15 vs the Eagles
1. Even though we looked terrible we were within one point in the final quarter.
2. If even one forward fired we would have won.
3. This forum gets easily depressed

Looking like it at the moment, the Diva only won one race in between her first and second cup but.....

We played a team without Kennedy, Lecras, and Hurn to name just a few. They looked faster, stronger, better marks, and better kicks. We dominated hitouts but got smashed in clearances and couldn't get close to them when the ball spilt free. At one point there was a throw-in in the Eagles forward pocket where we failed to contest the ruck against Jack Darling, failed to tackle him when he got the ball, and failed to stop the bloke receiving the handball from Darling and kicking an easy snap goal. But you're right, we have nothing to be concerned about and shouldn't complain.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
