Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

1. Cooney is just a player nowadays....no matter where play him. Depressing watching blokes run away from him.
2. We can't go into any game nowadays confident of winning
1. We are the slowest side in the comp.

More depressing watching him pull up from the chase at the last moment. Didn't follow through once that I saw.

Mine:

1. We are going to have to settle for wins like this for a little while.
2. Umpire #22 should be officiating in the EDFL juniors.
3. Taylor Adams will be spending the next 3 to 4 weeks warming his arse on the sidelines. Hit was Barry-like.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

1. Cordy does not know how to play football.
2. Cooney is now a mere mortal.
(hate to admit it but so is Stringer, him not doing an easy little side step for that goal is not sitting well at all.)
3. How you can you trade with GWS when all the players they've got are better than all your players bar 1.
Give them your only good player? And that's still not enough!

I wonder if Cordy's shoulder is stuffed only going one handed in most marking contests or he has developed a bad habit of going one handed.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

Agree with previous comments, will add

1. The Rat will be a player. Came on earlier than expected, played well under pressure.

2. Either GWS are all super quick, or Macrae is as slow as Cross

3. While his kicking is still dodgy, the rest of Talia's game was pretty good.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

1. Cordy and Stringer need to be dropped.
2. I was most impressed with Hrovat who helped get us over the line.
3. Goodes and Talia were very good in defence.

Yes, like his junior days, stood up when needed.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

1. Our fwd line is the laughing stock of the AFL
2. Cordy is friggin hopeless
3. We shouldn't have won

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

Talia , improving rapidly
Hrovat , ditto
GWS are cheap shot flogs - hope his loss stings and the MRP* do their job

* disclaimer....not likely

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

Three things I want to learn today:

1. How many more years on Cordy's contract?
2. What is the chance that Gia is retained for one more season? (We need him).
3. Is JJ ok?

Cordy needs to be dropped to Willy. Im not sure now if he'll make it.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

1. I can see what our defence will look like into the future and it won't be too bad. Can't say the same about the forward line.
2. Stringer and McRae are gonna be players but for now they are looking pretty buggered. McRae was running on the spot in the last. Oh and he can't kick on his right foot or if he can he avoids it at all costs.
3. Talia should win a rising star nomination if not this week then before the season is out. A very impressive game, especially when you consider he must've played less than 10 games at AFL level.

He's never been able to mark, it was assumed he would be able to when he got bigger and stronger but he still can't. He's never been a key position player, just tall, it's time to cut our losses and move on. He just isn't up to it.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 15 Edition

We can all say Cooney is gone, but he still gets a lot of the ball (26 disposals today) and he is being played out of position.

What did he do with it bornadog?

He fumbled and was ineffective in every sense of the word. His performances since he returned have been disgraceful and as a club we need to make a stand and not allow a player with immense talent to bludge his way through the balance of his career and hand him another contract. How do you teach your young midfield to play two way football when blokes like Coons are running around?

He should be dropped next week, bring cross back at least he gives you effort.
