    Three things I've learned - Round 4

    Being that I haven't seen a minute of the game I'll hold off for now.

    Everyone else, have at it.

    I already knew the three things I learned today.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      Very lucky that Morris is back

      Stringer and Marcrae will do well

      Some very basic wet weather concepts weren't adhered to today

        We can't play in wet or dry conditions.

        We're not very smart footballers.

        Brisbane would be embarrassed to have their name as a win for us.

          Macrae is Murphy like with his agility

          Gia is finished (reward form and give vez a chance)

          Williams injured in vfl ( could you believe it) retire him

            Dahlhaus needs to play more midfield

            Tying Jones to the goal square is killing his career

            We are a mentally fragile group, very little will to push on

              * Gia should retire and let another youngster play

              * Lower should be on a HBF and Picken our tagger or he goes forward.

              * We don't seem to have progressed from last year as much as I thought we had.

                - We are very poor up forward

                - Our disposal efficiency is way down

                - Stringer and McRae will have a good future

                  FFS....what was the injury?
                  I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                    Stringer and Macrae will be good for (I hope) our club.
                    That's it, other things weren't news.

                      1. We are increasingly falling for all the basic sucker punches. An example of that today was that over and over again, Adelaide players leading up the ground towards the long kick opted to turn our players to let the ball run on deeper. We kept falling for it positioning-wise all day. Another one was Adelaide players repeatedly feigning that they were going to go up as 2nd, 3rd or even 4th flyers into a marking contest but then hanging out the back or the side for the easy ball that inevitably comes because no-one can mark it in the wet while their opponents dutifully went through the motions of being flying baggage in contested marking contests.

                      2. We are going to have to turn over another 10 players or so at the end of this season.

                      3. We are a Tool Concert. So come along next week and listen to the music.

                        We are inept.

                        Our guys don't listen to the coach who told them to kick long

                          Only saw the last quarter:

                          Macrae will be a star. Moves so well.

                          Stringer is unfit, unready, but gets to the right spots. He will be a monster in 2014+

                            1. Macrae, shock horror I saw a moment of composure under pressure from one of our players
                            2. Stringer 30 seconds of forward pressure was more than Gia showed all first half
                            1. Ball Movement , structure, outside run and breaking lines. non existent!

                              Our coach can't coach

                              We desperately need a real pro to head our footy dept

                              Our CEO should be under scrutiny
