One domino/one player not in the correct spot the trick/play breaks down and looks very poor.magnifisaint wrote:I don't play dominoes so I have idea what all of this means. Whats wrong with saying something instead of hiding between smoke screens?

Re: The Domino Fall
Maybe at this stage we're quite not good enough. Until we get back 4 or 5 senior players then I don't think we can be competitive enough. That's the difference between the Dees and the Saints. They have all their senior players fit and playing well. We only have two senior players playing well.

Take yourself back to the last time we were in a similar situation. GT had a game plan that eventually worked (to a point) but just didn't have the cattle to carry it out. He eventually tried to limit the damage by going ultra defensive (the infamous draw vs Swans when Daniel Wulf hit the post from a metre out).

Wells is from the Peel region of WA, which is similar to the Geelong region of Victoria.stinger wrote:still have nightmares over that every time i see daniel wells play....we lose...we gain a priority pick...wells...Animal Enclosure wrote:Totally agree Tony.

Don't we have enough West Aussies in the squad?

Re: The Domino Fall
No " dominoes " ( players ) in the wrong spot. All of a sudden the " trick " ( gameplan ) works. Most of the passes hit targets and we look quick. It can turn around very quickly.tony74 wrote:Like a classic domino fall it only takes one misplaced domino to make the trick look very poor. At the moment probably every move we make we either have a misplaced domino or a domino that doesn't do what is is intended to do. And the trick doesn't work and in fact looks really poor. Our team is similar to that at the moment.
There are a few dominoes/players that are just in the wrong spot and/or don't do what they are intended to do. So the trick/gameplan falls flat and looks really poor. It's not the entire team or the gameplan. It's just a few specific pieces that are letting the whole plan down.
You may wish to disagree, but these things can turn around very quickly. Be prepared for some " failed " tricks however don't be surprised if you see some genuine exciting developments. It can turn very quickly.

It cant turn if you dont have the players and we just dont have the players. I would be pleasantly surprised if we won another game this year. Every team looks clearlt better than us. The only way it could possibly happen is if we played every single experienced player, when fit, and dropped as many young kids as possible and im unsure there is any point in that at all.
OUCH !!!!
