yeah, it was more attacking tonight

If Ross had have told him this was how we were gonna play at the strat of the year, i doubt he would have come back

Gehrig should never be running around on the wing and in the backline

Ross has played him out of position all year

should be told to rarely leave the forward 50, and never go further than the center square

play him ONE OUT in the goal square

The reason G has struggled is the lack of quality ball through the middle. And this is Lyon's fault how? Richmond smashed us by a world record in contested ball. Our run from half back has disappeared (Gram's been worked out), midfield leg speed is unknown and we butcher the pill so often that no big forward has a snow flake's hope in Hades.

if we had a fast attacking gameplan, how many players and coaches would be willing to leave Gehrig all alone in the forward line?

I think play Frase deep in the foward line and open it up for him. The Midfield cant hit him on the chest it either goes over hes head or 5 metres in front of him.

yeah there is - just grab a tape of his below knees efforts this year. he hasnt got any. I dont know that anyone wouldve guessed it was going to be as rapud but his time is up.

The club took for pick 457 so nothing much lost - it was worth a punt. It didnt work so we move on. The biggest dissapointment is for Gehrig cause hed be feeling it for his reputation and all but no shame for him....the game has passed many by.However, there's still one running round at 36 that amazes me weekly.....

F*** me dead, Im sick of hearing, Gehrig is finished, the game has passed him, blah blah blah.

Bulls$ite...!!

If Ross implements a fast ATTACKING gamestyle, where the forwards could lead into a OPEN forward line, where the kicks were to the FAT side, then he would be kicking a crapload of goals.

Doesn't anyone remember the quiet games G-train had in the 04,05,06 years when other teams "flooded" back. Take a look at the games where he bagged 5+ goals, checked how many were on a lead and get back to me.

Pitty our coach cannot see it, yet others can.

Did other teams run off and exploit his ground ball deficiencies as much as they do now?

It is time.
