Goose
Terrible tonight...orst on ground for mine, slow and ineffective...thrashed by Lynch who looked awesome. Goose still not anything like what he was last year....we really missed Max.
I thought we actually really ad a good crack at it tonight:
Roo was brilliant, Hayes and Dal very good but too many not quite up to it...Goose, Raph and Doc Clarke just let us down....
They tried bloody hard though and the first qtr was our best qtr for the year IMHO

Maguire had his pants well and truly pulled down tonight by Lynch, he might as well have not even contested the ball, cos he had absolutely ZERO impact everytime the ball got near them. 2 or 3 good long kicks don't make up for giving away 5+ goals
Raph Clarke showed us again why he still demands 'dud' status, he moves like a battleship, and up stairs he's even slower
to say Dal had a worse game than goose is ridiculous. He, along with Hayes, Roo and a few others kept us on the game
Cousins absolutely killed us
Gehrig had an average game, but 2 goals and a few more missed opportunties means he was no where near in our worst
VERY dissappointing after the first quarter, we were gone from 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter

20 possessions only 2 were ineffective played on a guys much taller and absolutely belted them and he is a dud. You are a d**khead!!!! Get off his back he has had no pre-season come back from a career threating back injury and still played better than half the side.Raph Clarke showed us again why he still demands 'dud' status, he moves like a battleship, and up stairs he's even slower

did u watch the game or just read the stats?BringBackMadDog wrote:20 possessions only 2 were ineffective played on a guys much taller and absolutely belted them and he is a dud.

does it say in the stats how many goals his opponent kicked by his lack of any defensive skill?
does it say in the stats all the times he lost us a contest because he is slower than the QEII, and has an even worse turning circle?
does it say in the stats all the times he went 3rd man up in a contest, was completely ineffective, and his direct opponent got the spilage and WC the advantage?
does it ay in the stats all the times he took the 3rd best option, instead of 1st, because the cogs in his small footballl brain seemed to be unable to turn?
does it say in the stats all the times he shirked a contest (i can think of one definate time atleast)?
was easily in our worst half dozen

Goose has lost his pace, The Q unit was too quick for him on the lead. However, it would be foolish to immediately expect Goose to return to his pre-broken leg form. Needs another pre season to get back to his old self.
Yeah it was good, wasnt it?the first qtr was our best qtr for the year IMHO

Without Hudghton, we are exposed there, and Maguire isn't really good enough at the moment to put on a key forward...

Agreed. The forward line delivery by the Eagles was brilliant.saint66au wrote:Doesnt hurt when you get the sort of silver service delivery from your midfield that G and Roo can only drool about
Q surprised me tonight. Much more mobile than Id given him credit for. Made Goose look just that a couple of times.

Goose was on the end of one of the more comprehensive baths i've seen
he was just hammered
he was beaten by himself and his man in the air and on the ground in front of goal and up the ground...
he didn't get near winning a contest pretty much
he has no excuses - he himself said he was right on sport927 this week and has no excuses
giving away stupid frees, not near his man, not even giving a yelp on the goal line...
has a lot of work to do between the ears

Our defence is an issue. We do have quite a few good players there but can't really play them how we want. Sam Fisher is our best defender as we say against Pavlich. Though having Sam at CHB means you don't get as much run and peeling off in general. Atm Goose isn't good enough for a kep position, he will be but this year he is out of sorts because of the leg, etc.. Could use some genuine tall, big defender to take the likes of Lynch, Rocca, the big ape forwards.
Carpe Diem
agree, when he did have the ball he used it quite effectively, couple of nice long kicks to a target. pity he got smashed doing his main jobsaintDal wrote:Irrespective of getting beaten by Lynch, I thought Matty's disposal was very good last night. There were some beautiful long kicks he did that hit targets. Not sure I've seen much of that previously so it's good to see that side of his game coming back.
can't stand lynch, the whole glove thing, what a w.nker
max is our best defender by a mile, hopefully he can stick around for a couple more years and impart some knowledge on gilbo, raph and allen
One thing about Lynch that showed Goose up was his ability to turn quickly and with little sideways movement. He was able to get to the ball too easily and then lose Goose by turning on a coin and making something of his possessions.
Lynch shows what happens when you are determined to improve your game.

As the Dogs have been criticised in the last week or so with their "topping up" in the last year or two, I don't think they'd go for anyone of those 3 players.n1ck wrote:We should have a look at Boyd from the doggies, wonder if we could interest them with a Barry Brooks, or dare i say it, Fergus Watts or Jarryd Allen.
Come to think of it I don't think anyone would take the first 2 players you have mentioned.
