Simple - we have an idiot coach
With ten minutes to go - he takes Nick Riewoldt off the ground. Game over.
Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
I thought that was strange. Seemed he was off the ground for like at least 15 minutes.

Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
Idiot post... but we are now seeing the effect of poor recruiting. Hayes, NDS, Montagna=yesterday's midfieled..too slow, no second gear. Steven and Armo..try hard but not elite runners. We have an undermanned backline, a slow midfield who can't deliver the ball. Fisher and Dempster not match ready.. at least Schneider looks a class above the rest, Watters just hasn't got the cattle..not his fault. Good signs-=Newnes, Roberton, Stanley, McEvoy
Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
Their captain was winning the game
Our captain was sitting whilst the ball was bombed in and Beau had 3 to contend with...
If he was rotated
I'm not sure 5 minutes to go in a close one is a good time to rest your key fwd

Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
When your key forward has run his GUTS OUT... it's time for a rest..... does he continue to be the ONLY hope up forward?? If so.... we have much bigger problems than benching him for a few minutes rest

Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
Bull - when you have seen more than three games, come back and talk about winning close games. I've seen over 1000. You keep your winners on. And if you have stuffed up rotations during the match, well then take responsibility for it. I note that the other Riewoldt was NOT on the bench for half of the last quarter.Seaford_Saint wrote:When your key forward has run his GUTS OUT... it's time for a rest..... does he continue to be the ONLY hope up forward??

The other Reiwoldt doesn't cover half the ground that Nick does.

How about the other Riewoldt?wasoncestkil58 wrote:The other Reiwoldt doesn't cover half the ground that Nick does.
Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
I can't believe we are starting on the coach this early in the season
To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe.

Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
This is the coaches' dilemma--run your 30 yo champion into the ground, get him injured, or save him..the first two rounds of a season mean nothing- if we are struggling come round six or seven then it's a concern
Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
Well of Lyon does it....
Can't influence a game from the pine
Last week Gary was rotating off after kicking a goal. Bluey made him stay out their ... He set up the next and sealed the game...
Sometimes you just have to read the game and think if it's a good idea to have your key player off the ground.
He could have gone deep and sat in the square for a 5 minute blow... And. Ingest that high ball that Chaplin mark

Re: Simple - we have an idiot coach
Yep. The moment you let the bio-mechanic engineers run your game, the coach is finished. There is always "the feel" about what is happening. Exhausting a player when the game is to be won is what the game is all about. Should we have taken Lenny off with five minutes to go in the 2010 GF because he had played the whole quarter?BigMart wrote:Well of Lyon does it....
