We have no A grade mids...not even one... but were going to win the flag
Murphy can potentially be an A grader again... but probably with the way the game is played he will be a B+ relying on others to do the hard physical stuff and the hard running both ways...
We have no excellent midfielders...
BUT.. we do have a bunch of half back flanker types.....none of those are excellent mind you....
ill keep banging on about this... because its the most ridiculous thing we have ever done in a ridicuously huge amount of ridiculous things
But most damning is no leadership whatsoever
So you agree Mick should have started doing something about it last off season? How can all of us see it but not him?
I blame him and those who when realizing Mick was going to do nothing about it didn't take the old man to a nicely lit room, given him a nice cuppa, asked him a few questions about his family to get him comfortable and then gently explained to him that he has inherited an unbalanced list and a mix of players incapable of getting it done and some obvious changes have to be made or you are going to waste a year.
No the bulldogs have more A graders.
Or maybe their coach trust then to play
football and not some pathetic, defensive, restrictive and mind numbing game.
One that is slow and predictable in attack and one that results in our middle and defence been subjected to an inviting hammering in a turn over.
Go through their mids one by one and then ours.
We have been wallpapered by judd..
our midfield is rookie isted picks.
even carrazzo when he plays.. and he isnt a grade is a rookie listed player
ellard
bell
cachia
curnow
then there re blokes from other clubs.. mclean judd and carrazzo..
so the questions needs to be asked.. where have our picks for mids gone come draft day???
The question you have to ask is who can and has played through the middle and why he doesn't play them this year.
What is
his game plan and what does he want to achieve?
How do you win a game of footy if you can't attack?
You're always on about leadership.
What leader never takes responsibility and openly criticizes everyone and everything around him?
From the first game his game plan has been dissected het his arrogance and limited ideas are magnified by his constant tantrums and buck-passing.
How the players are suppose to give their best when their future at the club is questioned and their validity is criticised by their leader in public?
And don’t tell me he’s sifting through the strong willed and making the necessary requirements and pre-requisites to the future of the list because sorry mate it doesn’t work that way.
You lead by example, set tasks and discipline accordingly by actions in private not by parading your short comings in public thus giving more ammunition to your enemies.
This is the present mental state of our leader.
Selfish and bereft of the mental state and capabilities of his playing group.
