After tonights game, does anyone else think RL might be a bit of a one-trick pony? I don't want to be making judgements after just one game, but he seemed very unwilling to make any changes tonight. We clearly weren't going anywhere with the setup we had and there didnt seem to be much flexibility in our playstyle when things werent going well.
Thoughts?

The loss had nothing to do with Ross. Our skills were poor throughout the whole match. Couldn't kick and couldn't hit targets. Our problem wasn't getting the ball. We got the ball but just did nothing with it. In the end Power had more intensity. Ross can't do anything about that. Too many players didn't play their best.

When three quarters of your team simply doesn't come to play there's very little you can do from the coaches box. Football is all about the intensity you bring to the game and we just didn't bring it. If both teams are playing with intensity then strategy and tactics can be the deciding factor. However if one team doesn't show up mentally, the result is a foregone conclusion.

Lets hope the club is caught cheating on the salery cap and folds. Lyon cant coach, the players are all donkeys and lets face it the colours suck too. Tearing up my membership as we speak and burning all my gear too

I never said sack him now. Things werent going well which has rarely happened in the past 30 games but there didnt seem to be many changes happening around the place to try and spark anything. So he was the perfect coach tonight in that case?

Obstinate, Rodan was allowed to run free. Jones should have tagged him after half time.

Yep, that seemed the obvious move to make. It was surprising seeing Goddard standing Rodan late in the game and playing pretty wide of him. With Rodan cutting us up surely a hard tag was in order.ace wrote:Obstinate, Rodan was allowed to run free. Jones should have tagged him after half time.

No, no, the coaching was fine tonight, just see all the comments in this thread. Nevermind that we couldnt take a mark inside Forward 50, dont try someone else down there. Dont tag their best player. Dont try Blake in the ruck when we're getting beaten in the hitouts. Dont try Gardy at FF.ace wrote:Obstinate, Rodan was allowed to run free. Jones should have tagged him after half time.
One trick pony was the wrong phrase, but he looked it tonight because it SEEMED like there were a lack of changes when they could/should have been made

Never seen such bullshite as I have read on here tonight. Absolutely disgusted at the so called supporters on here tonight. Most of them would be better off if they changed their allegiance to Collingwood or Cartlon as we sure as hell don't want them!

So it is the coaches fault that the forwards couldn't take a mark in the forward 50. Milne must have dropped half a dozen and Kosi three. So thats something the coach can control from the box on the night.wraiyth wrote: Nevermind that we couldnt take a mark inside Forward 50
You struggling a bit with this game?

You should apply for the coaching position now.
At least we would have a good laugh week in week out.
Timmy Watson is that you?

It is possible to be a passionate supporter of the club and also be critical when they perform poorly. Surely we shouldn't be pumping them up tonight simply because we're supporters. Lavish them with praise when they perform well, such as against the Filth and Freo, but also be prepared to criticize when they don't deliver to the standard we (and they) expect.wasaintsfan wrote:seriously why cant the morons who obviously dont really care about the saints and just come on here to troll just be banned...
