Positives for tonight and Negatives
Positives
-Marshall. For his 2nd game I believe. Fantastic prospect. He looks the goods.
-Coffield. 1st game. Composed, quick stepped and skilled. Fantastic prospect. Looks the goods also. He is a bloody true footballer as is Marshall. They make good decisions.
-Glad Sinclar had a good game
-Dunstan and Savage very good
-Our defence has actually gone well this year considering the amount of ball they have had to contend with coming in. A stong point at the moment.
-We won the inside 50's
-Footy is topsy turvy and things can turn around quickly in AFL. The Saints are badly out of form at the moment.
Negatives
-Skills overall and goal kicking are f****** deplorable
-Forward line is not functioning but our disposal to the forwards and into the forward 50 is deplorable also
-We were in the game but the above screwed us
-The leadership may be a problem on field but that is hard to know looking in from the outside
Going Forward
-Sorry guys, but I don't think we will scrape into the finals this year. Yes, the draw softens later in the year but we just need to keep playing the McCartins, Marshalls, Coffields, Clarks, Longs, Whites for the rest of the year at the expense of possible losses. They need games and more games into them.
-Need to f****** offer everything possible to gain mature and ready made players like Lynch, McGovern, Sloane, Gaff, etc. This side needs some injection of A grade and top B grade talent in 2019. Even if its 2 or 3 x of that type.
-Its time for the playing group to dig itself out of this hole

Hello EM. I don't blame him at all. They probably nail goals at training every week. Skills overall in the side are not up to scratch at the moment. We are very scrappy.Enrico_Misso wrote:Our fulltime specialist goalkicking coach must be feeling either very very nervous or very very ashamed?

Re: Positives for tonight and Negatives
Marshall and Coffield the positives.
Negatives:
Obviously skills and ball movement - no real improvement from last week
Marshall is being developed incorrectly - he will always be undersized at AFL level, so develop him as a key forward who can pinch hit in the middle, not the other way around.
Smashed in the tackle count against a team who had more of the footy.
The realisation that although we might get a very high draft pick, we don’t have a 2nd or 3rd round pick - we handed them over for Austin and Clavarino’s pick.

Positives for tonight and Negatives
Good post ParkeySainter.
Even with the ordinary skills (4 out on the full on my wing, just to hit one skills lowlight) we were in it up to our necks until half way through the third, when we dropped not only the ball but our heads.
I thought Long showed a bit tonight too - still a work in progress but one worth persisting with. White was far from our worst as well (save for the kick on goal, but not Robinson Crusoe there as our forwards couldn’t kick any).

Re: Positives for tonight and Negatives
We have fallen off a cliff and look completely rudderless without the leadership of Roo.
I didn’t think it would be this bad.
The club needs to bite the bullet and decide to play Coffield, Clark, Marshalll, Long, White and whoever shows any promise etc etc week in week out.
Stuff win/loss.
Coach needs to change the game plan, whatever that is.

Re: Positives for tonight and Negatives
Coffield and Marshall very positive
Dunstan best for us by some way - on Sloane and smashed him 30 disposal to 15.
Sincs and Acres started like a house on fire - but both faded (sincs had just 4 possessions in the second half and disposal was crud all game).
Savage very good.
Ross very good
and....
that's about it.
oh - the club may finally wake up and realise we're going nowhere with richo at the helm!

Carlisle and Brown weren't too bad considering the form that both Jenkins and Walker were in.
I reckon our defenders are doing a great job in general and if they played as poorly as some of the forwards, we'd be losing by 100 points each week.

Doggies may make a charge if they do not pull their fingers out.
We have no real strengths at present. Sadly our season is already done. Two big losses and we have not actually played a team that has played well yet
