Round #7 - Slaps and Sledges

Re: Round #7 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps: Backline again. Sorry to lump them in as one but without them this would have been a blow out. Great to see Morris get a goal.

Slap: Murphy. Like a fine wine.....

Slap: Gia. Fantastic last quarter and added some much needed polish across the forward line. Slow start but finished off really well. The haters will be quiet although I'm sure they'll find someone else to let fly at this week.

Sledge: Effort. Very little all day from a lot of the players.

Sledge: Blind handpasses. Shakes head

Sledge: MC. Hudson/Minson doesn't work. Minson should get the green light now it's getting close Huddo. I was happy to see a pup in Skinner picked but it should not have happened yet.

Sledge: Umpires. Just dismal all day.

Re: Round #7 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps- Markovic solid again
Ward - worked his arse off all day
Cooney- found some form in particular early
Hill- thought he was good ( one blunder that handpass in the corridor)
Murphy- has to be leading the B&F( gotta be forward)

Sledges- Huddo,unfortunately old father time has caught The Beard
The whole playing group for picking and choosing when they work hard
It's Just Not Good Enough this 10 15 spurts per game!!
Jones - his kicking needs to improve rapidly
Gilbee- What in blazes has happened to Gilbee??
The officiating - Got the raw end of the pineapple today

I saw Stack win the ball near the HB boundary line with a couple of Swans with Gilbee, Stack handball over his shoulder into space were it was picked up by the Swans and a goal resulted. The interesting part in this bit of play was that Stack had placed it perfectly for Gilbee to run onto it and clear it up field only Gilbee was stationary in front of the play and didn't get there.

That was Josh Hill, not Brennan Stack.

That's interesting. I like this! Pineapple is usually eaten raw. but I'd say we got the rotten and spikey end of the pineapple.

And non-facts!- "Grundy is going off, he's finished for the afternoon". Shortly thereafter, he came back on.

Mattner. It was a nice bump from Tommy.

Damnit! See, Dwayne riles me so much I confuse players!! Just thought it was funny his immediate response was so definite, and one of the others said they'd go down to the boundary to find out more (obviously not believing him!). And then he (Mattner! ) returned - it was miracle-like!

Re: Round #7 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps -

Marko...contested all day

Murphy....provides run and free flow by the decisions he makes

The comeback...why can't we show this desperation all day?

Dahihaus played well for Willi. Richmond have a few of this type of small forward but I don't know if it can be a solution in finals

Sledges -

Players slipping over

Minson tapping the ball straight to the opposition; Hudson giving it to them

Strange decision to include Skinner as a sub.....no more first gamers there, please.

Players who don't charge through the pack to get the ball but run around it as a first option. We seem to be developing a number of players who don't relish the physical contest

Skills. Do we have a skills coach? Some our handball and kicking is really wayward

2nd and third efforts....players standing spectating with hands on hips after the ball has left the immediate zone. It's what we are doing when we don't have the ball that is a problem. A couple of players appear to drop their bundle when they get beaten in a contest.

Kicking into the forward line - still doing it blindly and hoping.

Re: Round #7 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps
Markovic, Stack - best game I've seen from both of them. We would've been in a lot more trouble without them.
Cooney & especially Griff - trying to take the game on and generate something even when it didnt happen.
Morris - for his goal. Nice one Dale.
Ward - kept running and throwing himself in all day.

Sledge
Team - inconsistency of effort/performance. Virtually every player had an impact at some point but went missing for a lot of other periods of time.
Wallis - not quite there yet. Back to Willi.
Team - disposal was fumbly and at best inconsistent.
Team - not enough run and spread. We used to be a team of downhill skiers and now we have gone to the other end.

Re: Round #7 - Slaps and Sledges

Can't win with Skinner, people wanted him in the team early and the expectations were very high. Played like most skinny 1st gamers would and now copping sledges. Need to see his game for what exactly was - a taste for 1st grade football. Will know what expect now in his next game.

He shouldn't be copping a sledge but I don't think he was ready for his promotion. Hopefully he got something positive out of the experience.

Re: Round #7 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps

Murphy - very solid start to the season

Ward - going hard at the ball knowing he going to get crushed. Getting up straight away.

Markovic - Looks like he is playing for the jumper.

Sledges

Every player that handballed it to Minsons feet

Every player barring very few for skill errors and bad decision making.

Umpiries - Terrible all day. They give a fifty against Jones for kicking the ball half a second after the free kick was paid but Sydney thought a free kick was theirs and take the kick but it was Jones' and no fifty, both would have cost us a goal and maybe the match. No f#@$en consistency!
