Round #18 - Slaps and Sledges

[GVGjr]

For those who aren't familiar with the Slaps and Sledges thread:

A slap on the back for a job well done by 2 players. (not to be confused with the Woof Player Awards)
This can be a passage of player or even a spirited effort.

A sledge to two players that let down the team. Try and make this constructive critique and not just overly critical.

Provide us with your thoughts on this afternoons game against the Sydney Swans.

Barry Hall, will be sad to see him hang up the boots.

SLAPS

Hall. Did what he could. Sensational effort in a side comprehensively beaten.

SLEDGES

Misses like Gia's from the top of the square. Pathetic.

Re: Round #18 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps:

- Wood, played a great game today with many great hard efforts, looks like he is getting confidence with his body back, just needs to find a little bit more footy.

- Baz, limited chances but played a great game, shame he couldnt convert the one in the last.

-Cross, what a great first half he played before he got subbed off. If only the rest of the team put half the effort into this game.

Sledges:

- Gia and Griffen, horrible misses from our 'leaders'

- Cooney, didn't want to be there.

- Addison got a chance and did nothing about it.

- Grant, Aweful.

- Gilbee, Love you as a player but it's over.

Re: Round #18 - Slaps and Sledges

Slap, Barry
Slap, Wood, I thought his main asset was his run and carry but his fierce contesting work is really good lately.

Sledge: The inability of Boyd, workhorse though he is, to closely check his man or to make anything of his umpteen possessions.
Sledge: after some a purple patch Gia has been decidedly 'lilac'. looked very slow.
Sledge: I hate sledging griff but that awful miss can't be overlooked. he really had a 'Barry Crocker '.
Sledge: Just about everyone really.
Sledge: biased commentary the last straw, Roos just about on his feet cheering on a goal.

I wouldn't say that Cooney doesn't want to be there, I'd say that the heavy conditions weren't doing his knee any favors.
Cooney maybe a player that only gets picked if the conditions and himself feel ok.

Slaps

Bazza- at his best today
Um...
We got to the ground on time.

Sledges

Players not following instructions*
Players not executing their skills well enough*

* I haven't seen Eade's press conference yet, but we've heard those two lines after every loss for the past 3 years, so that must be the reason.

Now that you're a moderator, can you add an emoticon that says "game plan sucks" just to save yourself (and others) from having to type?

It may be easier to make that your signature rather than having to type it reply, after reply, after reply... even to posts that don't mention game plan.

Gameplan goes out the window when you can't win many contests

Re: Round #18 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps- Barry ( great again)
Slaps- Wood( really coming good)

Sledge- where do you start?
The lack of work and effort . Embarrassing

[LostDoggy]

Re: Round #18 - Slaps and Sledges

Slap - Ward
Slap - BBBHall
Slap - Jones for that good contested mark

Sledge - Grant 4 possessions WTF is he doing in the side?
Sledge - Lake not even playing VFL level

Think we need to rebuild at this point.....

Re: Round #18 - Slaps and Sledges

Ok not many Slaps today so mine will all be based on passages of play.

Slap - Hall running around the man late in the 2nd quarter and then slotting it from 50metres to put us ahead.

Slap - Hoopers goal - against two Swans from 10 metres out. Swans fumbled a simple pass back towards our goal, Hooper ran in slid under the player, got tackled by two Swnas, but managed to put boot to ball

Sledge - Gia's give me goal when Barry could have slotted it through, handballs over to Gia in an open goal and Gia hits the post.

Sledge - The misses from 20 metres out in the last quarter - Gia, Barry and Griffen

Re: Round #18 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps to both Wood and Hall really liked there games.

Sledge Higgins the tease pony! If you play in defence you must still man up! Trade bait....

Sledge The match committee. DJ will never be up to AFL standard!
