Watters

[MrCordz]

WTF is he doing with our game plan from an ordered structured system we had - we are now a haphazard rabble of opportunists - its like we were chess champions who have bought in a pictionary expert who gets everyone to feel good about themselves off field but on field has nothing of value to offer - Its one thing to be nice - its another to get action on the field at all costs - this round was a pathetic start of the year - even GT got young inexperienced teams to have a crack. Personnel are irrelevant effort is imperative - don't tear apart 10 years of cultural change Scott - please no more wooden spoons here!!!! Please!!!

Scott said he was happy with our effort. Do you think we lacked effort?

- we are now a haphazard rabble of opportunists - its like we were chess champions who have bought in a pictionary expert who gets everyone to feel good about themselves off field but on field has nothing of value to offer -

That would have to be the most nonsensical analogy ever

[MrCordz]

Maybe that doesnt make sense I thought the effort was terrible tonight

[saintgee]

His fundamental love of outside flashy players (tdl,milera, saad) rather than those players who actually go and get the footy, is going to haunt him

[ralphsmith]

and ross lyons love of skilless hacks, mcqualter, jones, baker possibly haunted him?

Scott said he was happy with our effort. Do you think we lacked effort?

He must of been watching another game, or pissed. We were ok, half acceptable for a half. The second half we were pathetic, embarrassing, soft, and outclassed by a side with 6 wins in a history. Has honestly gone out of football? That was a piss weak effort.

Lyon developed a gameplan to make the most of what players he had, and could get.

As to the lack of skill, you should look to JB.

Rule changes have along with gameplan chanes also further conspired against the less skilled

pathetic post. we are rebuilding. we will lose more in order to go fwd and win a flag.

i doubt watters would be making the same moves if we were in the hunt for a flag this year. for instance i doubt we'd be playing both hickey and mcevoy

[SainterK]

Didn't have a good night at the selection table.

2 ruckman
Gilbo on Ablett
A huge amount of crumbers with no pack crasher

[deadman walking]

3 ruckman not 2

[plugger66]

3 ruckman not 2

I only count Hickey and Ben. Stanley played FB and never ruckedand neither did Blake.

[matrix]

maybe he is classing gilbert as a ruck??

he did go third man up a fair bit

[maverick]

I thought ray had a fair chunk of time on junior last night as well.

[SydneySainter]

Reality check!

The team has a long way to go before competing for top four again. More game time and probably a few more additions and subtractions to go yet.

As for Watters, wasn't one of his best nights in the box. He still has a lot to learn, but he knows his footy. Lyon had his howlers, even after those GFs (2011 final against the Swans).

[matrix]

ray actually had more contested possies than armo or lenny
his disposal let him down
was unlike him
dropped a few marks he usually wouldve taken from memory as well

[thejiggingsaint]

+1

[Old Mate]

Ablett cant be stopped...we had jones, gilbert and ray rotating on him...he still got 35 touches and 4 goals...but if we are serious we shoud've still won in enough positions to cover the ablett factor....it was farkin gold coast.

[matrix]

sack him
obviously no friggin good if we cant beat the soggy toasters

[SydneySainter]

You're hilarious matrix.

[bigcarl]

As did everyone out there. It was like the ball was covered in snot.

Our inability to handle it cleanly in the conditions, and keep our feet, were major problems.

[Old Mate]

I reckon its the whole team that isnt very good not neccessarily watters

[bigred]

Please explain on the small forward Sub....

[matrix]

yeah odd red

unless he was going to get thrown straight in the middle

what was it like at the game anyone
cant really remember from telly (honestly only saw him a couple of times)
did he line up in the forward line?

[BigMart]

If we have a shocking year.... Westaway has already indicated his position in not secure
