I'd have settled for pressure on the ball carrier or effort to pressure the ball carrier...Playon wrote:Honestly guys get off Tony's back, he didnt kick the ball.
Theres a lot to be said about scoreboard pressure, did we take our opportunities?
Not sure people are blaming Tony but if the club drummed the magnitude of the game into the players and that's what we dished up then we are miles away from being a contender.Playon wrote:Yes our midfield let us down but the so did our forwards, had we of kicked some of those goals pressure would of gone the other way, regardless it not Tony's fault.
When our prime movers arent there we always look to be second at the contest, however had we of slotted some of those goals it may of been a different story
Now i dont know the actual stats but what would the result of been had we of converted half of our shots? Would our midfield then lift?
Hey I don't come on here and tell porkies.

There are excuses but that will be kept in house.
But the bottom line is we were out coached, out worked and outplayed.
Get over it, we,re not ready yet. As a team and as a club.
excuse no 1 we had to leave melbourne8856brother wrote:With all due respect Tony, if there are excuses, then let us know. Otherwise don't even bring it up. To say we had them but we cant let you know what they were, is a cop out IMO. Really poor performance by all involved today.
Must have hypnotized them before the game Tony, because no one of them played like it was important?tony74 wrote:Most important game of the season. Already drummed in by the coaches.
For those who don't want to use google, URTI means Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.loris wrote:Just a query tony74........... was there flu going through the group?
I watched the interview Richo did at Melbourne Airport before boarding the plane to the Gold Coast and he definitely had some URTI issue. His eyes were very red and watery and every so often his voice was a bit raspy. After watching that video last night I went back & watched some of the messages he sends to members post-games and his eyes were never red & watery, nor his voice occasionally crackly. So I thought - Hello Richo, you have got some infection - I hope it hasn't been passed on to any of the lads this week.
Was Richo a little 'under the weather' tony74??????? Am I way off the mark?
Yes WS, but this interview was at Tullamarine BEFORE they boarded the plane to fly to the Gold Coast.

I have done a lot of flying, and plane cabins are really good at closing lung airways.
I get bronchitis sometimes and I know people who don't normally get it, but always get it on airplanes.
If your O2 intake is hampered, you lose a lot of ability for repeat efforts.
Last year's big loss to the Hawks, most of the team had flu-like symptoms.loris wrote:Just a query tony74........... was there flu going through the group?

A few of the team were a bit sick earlier in the year but only one pulled out of the side.WellardSaint wrote:Last year's big loss to the Hawks, most of the team had flu-like symptoms.loris wrote:Just a query tony74........... was there flu going through the group?

Jack Steven had only trained once that week.
But the club kept THAT news in-house for obvious reasons.

When we win = coaching genius
When we lose = secret inside business
Maybe when we win the the other side had a secret excuse?
As Jean Paul Satre says : " the game of football is complicated by the existence of the other team".
You tony are not a smart man.
Yeah, ridiculous for any of us to take our frustrations out on Tony. Wouldn't matter what he said, most of us wouldn't be satisfied with it. Tony did acknowledge that we were outplayed and out coached - what the hell do ppl want from him?saynta wrote:Con Gorozidis wrote:This is why you are a joke.tony74 wrote:Hey I don't come on here and tell porkies.

Unfair con and far from justified.
Terrible comment actually.
