Just like the Brisbane games, and the StKilda games, we do not change a single thing! That game was IDENTICAL to the first game with Essendon* last year.
We give them FAR TO MUCH SPACE through the centre, and for Ratten to KNOW that the use pace, you would think he would have learnt the last time.
Walker and Jordan Russell were poor tonight. Went at it at 50% and didn't seem to give a !@#$%&. Their turnovers cost us!
Warnock..............AGAIN........... is a complete SPUD! All those haters who criticised me for saying it last week - What do you have to say now huh? My god!
Kreuzer, Murphy & Gibbs - VERY DISSAPOINTING! - Murphy was well held all night but even still, i expect better from those three.
Setanta was way down on form - but at least he tried. Made mistakes, but didn't stand about with hands on hips like a few other players!
Simpson was really the only player that could keep his chin up. Went at it all night like a true soldier.
RATTEN-
Cleary, you haven't learnt from last year. We need direction playing through the middle and we need a kick-out structure that actually looks PLANED and not thought of on the spare of the moment. We need to have forwards home instead of flooding up the ground when we're 3 goals down. We Need STRUCTURE> cause right now, i don't think we have ANY.
Good teams don't play well one week and shit the next, and that seems to be the way we've played for 3 years now.
Questions regarding Ratten are now Justified in my opinion. We're stuck with him through the season, so he's got 18 more games in which to prove us wrong - and I hope he does - but the questions are indeed justified. You can't deny that!
Correct Ryan...we go out there and have no plans in place....Ratts's coaching strategy as far as I can see...is this...RE-ACTIVE...he reacts and does not proact....he doesn't go in with a plan to win...he goes into a game hoping to be able to stop the other team from doing whatever it is he thinks they are doing....he needs to start working out what we are supposed to be doing..on every line...plans structures and clear strategies coming out of defence going foward etc...getting sick of repeating his deficiencies...very ordinary coach....
J&thaKs makes a good point.
Sydney won the flag a few years ago because they made other teams play their game. We hated the way they played, but it was like arguing with an idiot: they drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
We need to develop our own game plan and make it instinctive, not try to beat them at their game, whatever it is (especially when you don't seem to know what their game is).
