Lenny Hayes
thought his game deserved a mention, was absolutely brilliant today, especially his clearence work out of the middle
is it safe to say that Lenny's finally 'back'?

yeah lenny has been our best and most consistent midfielder for years.
also he isn't a front runner, he is a tackle king, and mr 1% as well (if someone else is going for the ball, he will wall shield them to shepherd)
its amazing how well we progressed in 06 in his absence.
his quality around the ground is awesome.
he along with ball and v2 are probably are most natural footballers in that they know instinctively the best option.

not back to his best yet but after big pre-season will be ... lacks a yard of pace still (was quicker before the injury) and his kicking is struggling
AwayInUSA no longer ... have based myself back in Melbourne for a decade of Saintsational Success (with regular trips back to the USA)

actually we seemed to turn over the ball a lot.
we just kept attacking over and over and over again.
also when we did turn the ball over, it was generally in their D50 our F50 and we pressured them.
in other games we seem to have a heap of sweet possessions uncontested then turn the ball over in the midfield or just outside our D50.
we took more risks as mentioned previously and while many were rebounded, we did plenty to score.
note they kicked a swag of goals too, but we trusted our forwards.

IIRC (i.e. going from memory of the games themselves and not from stats), prior to the injury, his disposal was pretty good. Had the knack for finding the perfect line to run to get just enough space to make an unpressured kick or handball.st.mart wrote:that is my exact point - 'some of his kicks were on target'........in all honesty, his kicking efficiency is rank......not taking away from his effort, he has a real crack, always will......
Since the knee, while he still finds that line, it's like he doesn't quite complete it, and the kicks just don't find their targets the same way.
My memory could well be coloured - before the injury in '06 was in career best form. Certainly remember that early in his career he was a turnover king (of course, look who he was playing with...)

he had 7 inside 50's 3 clearances and two clangers, so whoever said he doesnt hit targets is not quite correctben_fff wrote:Best game he's played this year and he just seemed to fly under the radar, he was ferocious at the ball for the first half, I'd be interested to know how many inside 50's he had because every time he had it in the centre he would belt it forward.
i thought given what seemed to be break neck speed for much of the game, especially after harvey and to a lesser degree ball were off injuried it was a marvellous effort.matrixcutter wrote:he had 7 inside 50's 3 clearances and two clangers, so whoever said he doesnt hit targets is not quite correctben_fff wrote:Best game he's played this year and he just seemed to fly under the radar, he was ferocious at the ball for the first half, I'd be interested to know how many inside 50's he had because every time he had it in the centre he would belt it forward.
Also given that I dont think we had any 30 plus possession getters, it was a great team effort.
and finally it seemed to be, Lenny and V2 would be right up there for shepherds and other 1%ers.

i got to the car in time for harvey's interview.
jeez he was channelling hte spirit of connelly with a whinge.
'we didn't get to train on TD' (even WE dont get to train at TD), we didn't get goaling kicking practice and thats why we kicked innaccurately (pretty sure they shanked a few shots from DEAD in front, you dont need frikken goal kicking practice to miss from 30m dead in front
stuck pig whining I thought.
I was kind of impressed with harvey's attitude, He survived a number of injuries to percevere froa 200 game plus career over 15 odd years, gutsy player, couragious, and more than ready for a fight, or making a forward 'earn their mark'.
but as a coach = cuddles.
whingy whiney complaining deadbeat.
while cuddles was pathetic after a few seasons at freo, right from day 1 harvey is crap.
was worried if freo got a good coach, but with harvey there, all is well!
