Internal Player Assessments

[Devilhead]

Is it time to follow Geelong and the Western Bulldogs leads and force each player to assess his team mates honestly and openly within the playing group???? (have they done this before????)

It has worked wonders for both those teams and I don't see why it might not have an effect on ours

I think that maybe it is time for a few home truths to be exposed

dont leave out the coaching panel...has anyone got the guts to say

hey this aint working

Cannot argue with that at all! It's the best thing they could possibly do.

We have already done that

[Richter]

Whilst no doubt Eade pulled some rabbits out of the hat at quarter time, what can the coaches do about the fact that we were second to the ball from then on and soft as pansies when we did get there.

Yep we sure have, the whole thing was brought up last week on the footy show. Dal was asked the question and said the club had done it along with the other two panel members in Nathan Brown and Shane Crawford.

No, in the past 20 years only one team won a premiership playing defensive footy, but we must try and be the second.

Cmon devilhead, you've got to be kidding
it will only lead to hissy fits, hair pulling, eye gouging and tears.

[Richter]

Get a grip. It wasn't defensive football that lost us this game, it was SOFT football.

or manicures, hair tinting, back slapping and beers (light of course)

That and the complete mental meltdown that the whole team had after half time...

They were cooked between the ears.

And what was the thing that came up about Dal Santo in that process..................... that's right......... his defensive side needed some work. Mmm............ Great to see that he has taken it all on board and rectified it.

eade is still a bloody average coach...against good teams his team will get spanked 90% of the time

so they got a few cheap wins early on in the year...the first month is always like that...if we fast forward to round 22 and look back at some of the results we will be left scratching our heads at some of the results

ours will be one of them...

Like ive mentioned in another thread, this kind of critism works best after a performance that was dished out last night. The game is fresh in the minds of all involved and the home truths hurt when u go back to see the replay of that game as an individual player.

If they want to play for the jumper and show some heart, this kind of critism will hit them where it hurts. If it passes over them like fresh air, well you have to question their motive of being there. Simple!
