Game Day 2012 - R18 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda

Re: Game Day 2012 - R18 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda

I think the majority of poor disposal and poor decision making comes after the players have dropped their heads because they cant work out our game style and/or realize we can't win with it.

Hahaha, yeah because we were so good in this area before McCartney came along.

Again I say, they do what the football department coaches tell them to do, the coaching department is very poor, the players are not listening, more then likely they ain't getting the message. If I'm wrong we'll so be it, but my days in footy was you did what the coach told you to do, don't think things have changed.

Are they doing what the coaching department tells them or are they not listening?

I really don't understand why people think Macca is a good senior coach....lost on that one just looks out of his depth big time. Well people will have a crack at me again to defend him.

So you are saying the coach is instructing his guys NOT to mark their opponent, to dispose of the ball poorly, to walk around the ground?
Sorry mate, there are plenty of times where players don't for one reason or another follow coach instructions.
And to be honest this group of ours has history in this regard. I recall Eade saying several times last year that players were not following instructions during games.
The fact is, we have alot of guys who are either no longer up to it, some who never have been up to it, and a few more who haven'y yet learned what is required at this level to be up to it.

Posting the same thing 30 times doesn't make your posts any more insightful, and it certainly doesn't make them any more interesting read.

I see what you're saying, but personally I can't see that being the best way to teach him.

Couldnt hurt! He hasnt developed much where he has been playing this season

What would you do then Einstein?

Let's keep the name calling out of it.

These players and our senior players especially need to stand up. Not the coach. I mean Boyd, Lake, Murphy, Griffen, Gilbee... Where are you? Where is the leadership and spirit from this senior group?

Yep agree strongly. Not one player stands up and says "I am not going to let this happen"

It would be nice to have a fit Cooney breaking the lines, we really miss that style of player, Griffey has had a tough day.
