I knew McVeigh kicked 3 goals in the H&A season, not the final.

If you knew your footy you wouldn't have referred to the wrong game, wouldn't start so many new threads in a grab for attention and wouldn't need to change your username every couple of years for a fresh start.

Really good numbers for consideration Doc. Thanks.
I know numbers are important but not everything.

Synbad has always been right about our depth and about the plethora of HB flankers.
Don't know enough about Sticks, Ratts and boys club to agree with all he says about that.

Some of the shit I've read though....overrated Grigg has nothing to do with us.
He never put his head over the ball, he's one sided and weak as piss.
Now he suits the Tigers. They got him as an in and under player ...according to him, but he plays exclusively outside.
WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER OUTSIDE PLAYER.

The other crap that we can't improve is also rubbish.
We may have improved our stakes this year, but so have other teams. We knew they would.
We didn't know they would pass us or beat us: I'm talking Crows, Bumbers and Saints.

WE all know it 5 years ago. We needed hard nuts in the guts to support Judd...not for Judd to be the hard nut.
Our players are not having a dip.
Blaming Gibbs for our issues is not correct. He's a damn good player.
We need everyone to have a dip: Colectively.
An extra 5% from everyone will help, and hopefully it equals to a 50% improvement.

Keogh speaks fromt he heart.
He doesn't have to accept the shit our team is dishing out in 2012.

I reckon we can improve and turn our season around. He have a good draw.
Top 4? that's a challenge.
BUT, anything less than top 4 and a prelim this year is a failure.
If we fail. I will then be asking Ratts to step down.

Back to thread. It is obvious when considering the stats or not....we need to get our hands first on that nut.
Surely if we are doing OK getting first hand in the ruck, we can use that to our advatage.????????
@#$%&! work it out Ratts or @#$%&! off.

Roos is right saying we haven't got a defensive game sorted....that is the resp[onsibility of Coach and Coaches.
Get your act together and if we don't build for a win against Cats and WCE then they may as well change the coach.
The message, or the game plan isn't getting through to the players....and lets trade for need at the end of the season.


Right now it is about getting what we can out of this group. That's Ratts' rsponsibility.

Cheers Doc I like the food for thought.

Can't disagree with anything Synbad has said. The problem is an obvious one which most of us saw coming from a mile away.....its just that few were willing to believe what their gut feeling was telling them all along. They would even attack those willing to raise the alarm!

Well the problem has well and truly surfaced beyond all reasonable doubt now and as a result we are well and truly on the back foot.

The big issue is that to fix the problem we need more time......time we no longer have because we have WASTED so much of it already skirting around the issue.....sticking new leaves on the burning tree in order to save it.

As far as the Melbourne game goes, I cant look!!

So this was a 7 page thread, and after a thorough editing process I have removed 5 pages worth of irrelevant posts, sniping efforts and just general lunacy. Obviously most of the mod team are not in the best mood with the current behaviour of some posters, but having missed the beat most of the week and coming in with fresh perspective, I'm happy to announce I will absolutely savage the user list of this forum if crap like that continues.

Stick to the topics boys and girls, and move the discussion of other topics to - you guessed it - the relevant topic. I'll do it for you this time, but if you want to come on and mindlessly rant, starting threads that already exist and hijacking ones that serve a different purpose, I will just take the threads away, restore them to the flow of discussion as originally intended by the OP and ban you for a week.

Enjoy your misery.

I think you actually took out DocSherrin's initial post that started this thread Jimmae.

Not good enough. I'd like to speak to management.

geez Jimmae, I had to use the foe button to get through!!
and..
glad to know there was actually an original post. I thought everyone was just extremely psychic.

My only question, as a mathematician, especially since the title of the thread has to do with numbers, is this. If it was a 7 page thread and you removed 5 pages, how come it still has 4 pages left? Is there a New Maths that I'm not aware of?

I obviously removed too many initially.

3.5 was the final total after I corrected my mistake.

too funny

Our ruckmen aren't competative against better opposition.
Warnock is our main centre square tap ruckman at the moment.
Our mids are not working for each other.
They are working for individual extraction and are then just kicking blindly.
The Crows were working and blocking for one another.
Once they knew they themselves were out of the contest they would make sure that thier team mate had time to collect and dispose of the ball.
Another tactic was over run the ball and take out the opposition so his team mate had a clear path out of congestion.

NARK.........!


kindest regards tommi

Up to 5, then back to 4 again. Final warning on using the wrong thread and clouding good discussion because you want to talk storming the castle.

There's a thread for that

Looks like you've inspired those quality journalists down at afl.com...

I know Jason personally. Good bloke and a good writer. He knows where to look. For a Crows man, he knows Carlton better than most as well.

Apologies but couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance.

The moral of the story is come back Carrots

I always thought he was a Carlton man.....
