Lack of options
Questions
How many times did Freo run the ball out of defence to their forward line without a contest?
How many times did StKilda's defence kick the ball to a contest?
Answers
Plenty.
Plenty.
For some reason our players or gameplan refused to offer options to our defenders so they were forced to kick long to contests on the boundary line.
That is not percentage football and largely explains why we lost.

Re: Lack of options
How many times did we just bomb it into the forward line? Answer: Every time.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Plenty of times they bombed it in due to pretty good zoning and manned defence by the saints.
We are not alone, just do it more than other teams due to lack of options.
Carlton did it numerous times on the weekend, even on centre clearances when they had space.

Re: Lack of options
FFS there is a lotta BS about game plan. We lost because we were missing some talent and leadership, his name is Jack Steven.
The game was taken away from us in about 5 minutes. It happened countless times last season.
The players eventually reacted to the run on and stopped the bleeding and almost pegged it back but ran out of time.
Put Jack in the side and we win.
On field leadership and consistancy is still going to be an issue with a young side.

If we had Hanners, Jake, Robbo and Jack we smash that game.

You need to be able to deal with injuries, outs whatever and not refer to the ifs or buts.
Never explain, never complain.

Re: Lack of options
yeah sure, forgot we are at the same stage of development as last years premiers and probably this years, we should have been able to cover the loss of an A grader. makes complete sense.Joffa Burns wrote: ↑Wed 10 Apr 2019 8:32pmBut under adversity is when you are tested.Cairnsman wrote: ↑Wed 10 Apr 2019 7:01pm FFS there is a lotta BS about game plan.

Re: Lack of options
We need to get over the no Jack S , no Saints frame of mind. We need to develop the team as a strong unit, not a couple of talented individuals trying to drag us over the line. Top teams win premierships, not teams with a few talented players then daylight.

Joffa's new signature. Spotted on 10/04/2019 @ 2121:
It could be complete rubbish, semi true or completely true - that's because I made it up, like all the bulls*** fake ITK info I post on here
You changed your signature again today Corfe...or will you change it back again once the Mod finds out about it like you do with your posts to avoid embarrassment and a ban.
Corfe!!!

Re: Lack of options
I have seen the signature. Ted - why do you think it relates specifically to you. I see no indication. It could reference anyone - in fact when read without bias it actually seems to relate to Joffa himself. Now stop clogging up the forum with your persecution complex.tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote: ↑Wed 10 Apr 2019 10:18pm Joffa's new signature. Spotted on 10/04/2019 @ 2121:

Re: Lack of options
You banned because I posted a rumour about a Swans mid we are after Mr Mod and Corfe's signature emulated part of that post. Further, I don't why I got banned for posting a genuine story I got told but if rumours aren't allowed anymore then that's fine. It's your footy field in here.

Re: Lack of options
That isn’t a rumour. That is just pure baiting. That is a general statement that has absolutely nothing of substance. Please stop clogging up the forum with such rubbish.

Re: Lack of options
I totally disagree with every single thing you wrote there Mr Mod. Everything and that is your opinion. That is pretty unmoderator like also.
Whatever...guess the forum misses out for now on that "genuine story" which will no doubt crop up later on in the season.

Re: Lack of options
I'm not trying to win Stoney but this forum is full of BS and rumours mate e.g. posters constantly talking about Hanners being on drugs. Is every rumour or story going to get a ban? No and nor should they.
