Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

1. Now I know why Gia should be sub each week
2. Another tall defender would have been helpful today, Stringer vs Podsiadily was cringeworthy
3. Minson has gone backwards from last year

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

Our options appear limited: tom williams - yuck, Fletcher Roberts/Redpath - unproven could be worse than Williams.......maybe I am harsh on selection for Macca....maybe we need to look at his list management that has no tall backs in reserve...

They should be taking the chance with Roberts.
Reward good form at the lower level.

JJ kicked 5 on the weekend in the 2s...he shouldnt be far from a call up

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

1. Dickson is our most dangerous forward and should never have missed the last 4 games.

2. Despite the outrage from some supporters that Talia didn't play the first 3 games he is anything but our defensive saviour.

3. AFL football is a lot harder than Jake Stringer was expecting.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

1. Please no more Jones ( talk about lazy and disinterested)
2. Just have to bring that same effort for the first 20 minutes for a longer period.
3. To many plodders

He should be. A 5 goal performance In a 150 point win doesn't compensate for multiple nearly unsighted games at both AFL and VFL level.

1. MC can't get it right.
2. Low crowd numbers and general frustration has to be a huge concern for the club after only 6 weeks.
3. Wood has been outstanding this year so far - enjoyed watching him play.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

1. Jones, Stringer, Young and Jong are just not good enough
2. Minson doesn't take Marks around the ground, he needs to take a look at what Jenkins did for the Crows
3. Libba and Griffen are both struggling to break tags and are well below last year's standards

Jenkins played CHF, Jacobs is their ruckman and he took 1 mark to Wills 3

Jones and Young have been in the system long enough to form an opinion about but Stringer and Jong....really?
Try comparing Minson to the opposition ruckman.

For any number of reasons today was my first game I have attended this year.. On watching that I can't see me going back anytime soon.. It was painful... And going by the level of dis-interest around me, I'm not alone.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

Jones is not the answer, he's never going to be more than a Bartlett standard forward.

The difference between our good and our bad is killing us, once this closes we're going to be a decent side.

Low crowd numbers are a real worry.

Agree on both accounts.

I think a large majority are fed up at the severe lack of success and growth. Is it impatience? Honestly, I don't think it is. This club provides constant disappointment, which is proving to be too much to take.
