Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 7 Edition
Kobe's game is excellent in so many aspects. If only he could develop a bit of vision when he gets the ball. He has the worst disposal by hand in the team, including a penchant for handballing a micro-second after he gets possession to team mates who are in fact shepherding for him or clearly gesturing that they are not in a position to receive.Officially on the Bus-wagonComment

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 7 Edition
1. I am really impressed with Dahlhaus game and season overall. He just keeps improving week in, week out.
2. We are developing goal kicking midfielders (Liberatore, Macrae, Smith, Stevens, Dahlhaus, etc) Goal kicking midfielders are so so important.
3. In the fourth quarter we were screaming out for a moving target, that is Crameri's bread and butter. Not sure where he was or what he was doing. What I do know is he didn't impact the contest nearly enough.More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

He seems to like to prop a lot when he gets the ball. Maybe if he borrowed a bit from Tutt or some others and made a point of trying to tear away offensively for a few metres. Take tacklers on - he has the build and he is not slow.Officially on the Bus-wagonComment

It's a big flaw in Stevens' game. Sadly he's not alone.
Dahlhaus is prone to some errors when in the midfield of a similar nature too. Come to think of it, not many on our list use it well by hand.
How I miss seeing Scotty West amaze me weekly with his vision.W00F!Comment

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 7 Edition
Enjoy Brendan's press conferences and thought he defended the boys well. A few journo's wanted to paint him into a corner, re a timeline on improvement. He played a straight bat, always with humor, but could sense his disappointment with the loss. He is right; Bombers were touted as top 4 this season. To get within a few kicks of them is quite reasonable.
A minor point, he gushes on a bit about opposition players. Of course we all know, Dustin Fletcher is a freak, great man, but just perhaps a few soundbites too much? Maybe I'm just a sore loser.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ― EpicurusComment

He runs a fine line between being open and being a touch folksy.I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment

1. Absolutely beneficial for Stringer's development to be played all over the ground. I remember the criticism when Griffen was played in the middle and all those posters who wanted him back on the half back flank early in his career.
2. A lot of posters talk about our lapses, but I think it is as much about the opposition lifting and trying other things. Watson lifted in the second half and won some hard ball. He is a champion who can change the course of a game.
3. We are playing with one hand tied behind our back. Each week we seem to have a player(s) who barely contributes. We need a team of even contributors if we are to succeed.Comment

1. Libba for mine is our best & most important player.
2. Easton Wood has surprised me with his improvement. Getting better every week but would be rapt if he could improve his kicking a little.
3. Thank god macca has already signed an extension otherwise the pressure would be on.
When teams don't do well there will always be supporters who question the coach so i get the posters who are not fans of macca. Has been a disappointing year thus far and think if anything we have taken a step back. Like Remi & a few other posters i still think macca is the right coach for our club.Comment
