in reality, even if we didn’t make all the poor mistakes we’d lose to port by 30 ish points.
that’s essentially were we are at, should be 30 points off the best ish teams, but ultimately end up being closer to 60.
The only thing i’ll say on the matter is, it’s all well and good to want to play a certain way, and set up a certain way.
I question the logic of expecting it to be remotely competitive when you simply don’t have the players to implement any part of it, even the senior players.
All well and good to say Francis in a richmond style team/tactics/setup would be able to cover Dixon with their players and their pressure.
but we dont’ have that, we don’t have richmond players with richmond pressure, so expecting francis to be able to cover dixon with essington pressure is just dumb.
times that by 22 players and you get that end result.
tis all well and good to have a way you want to play, but when you simply don’t have the cattle to implement it, it becomes a redundant way to play.
Dodoro to hang up his jackets and ■■■■ off. He’s the root cause. ~5 coaches and the same ol with his pathetic choice of players built in height and stature like boys who struggle week in week out against men.
How can anyone field a team with giants such as Walla, Ham, Snelling, Hind, Parish, McGrath, Smith, Merrett and expect to compete.
You’ve been a stain on our club. If you were honorable you’d hand in your resignation as it’s clear after ~20 years your not cut out for this caper.
Brasher you wouldn’t tolerate someone in your corporate businesses dishing up the pile of ■■■■ that Dodoro has. I won’t ever pay a cent in membership until he is shown the door.
Even if we win the spoon and Merrett leaves and we get picks 1, 2 and 3, he would ■■■■ every one of those picks up if selecting midfielders
We’re going to be bad this year and we need to understand that. Even if you don’t accept it, expect it. This year is all about developing the kids and seeing which players we can use going forward.
We’re not going to get near sides like Port because they are experienced and mature with a good system. We’re not.
Still don’t know our game plan someone enlighten me please.
Whatever it is though the players aren’t connected with Rutten. They commenced this game plan last year as truck was coaching it. They players aren’t given effort either given the amount of uncontested ball, goals from defence, players ball watching and all going for the ball allowing easy outside run. It’s so noticeable
