I will comment on the Dale Thomas carry on though.
Yes it was a "match saving" smother by Thomas but it was match saving because we were still in the game.
We were still in it because blokes like Marc Murphy had 11 tackles, 32 possessions, 9 clearances etc. Murphy cops a lot of shit on this site but when fit, he's a far more complete footballer than Thomas.
His 23 tackles over the past fortnight eclipse any similar efforts Thomas has served up over his career. Not to mention his significantly superior possession and clearance numbers.

So yes, Thomas put in a great smother at the 25 minute mark of the last quarter but Marc Murphy and several others deserve more credit for the fact we were still in contention.
Dale Thomas is still just a hard working average footballer with very average skills. That 600 or 700k or whatever we paid would have been better spent elsewhere.

BV there are tackles and there are tackles
One of them is the game is at a stoppage the guy next to you has the ball and of course you should tackle... another is chase and tackle.. and another is stand your ground and tackle someone coming at you hard... or running past u.
And where were marc tackles in the first few rounds as leader?

And yes we know marc given room is deadly with the ball.. and played a ripper.
But.. when i see marc running forward at a million miles an how with his hand on the ball ... i wonder why he doesnt run a million miles an hour back.
Thomas?
he will run a million miles an hour back and forwards.
he will run someone down for a tackle.. u wont see him getting brushed off easily when he needs to stick one and he will of course also tackle the guy in a stoppage who gets the ball next t him.
He will fling himself for a smother.. and he wont lose his feet against a bigger opponent when the ball is coming in the air.. he will use his body to make contact and he will give a fair dinkum contst..every time.... thats what u do if you wanna win a flag

Thats what a complete a footballer

our blokes do half of that.....marc murphy included.

Its not just about what you do with the ball in your hands or when youre attacking
Its what you always do through 100 minutes of footy.

Marc wont use his body to make contact if the ball is coming in the air against bigger guys.
He wont run back to plug a hole....

Its the whole package he needds to work at and everybody needs to work at if you wanna win a flag.
You do not pick and choose what your role is.. ala chris judd.. and what u will and wont do.

Thomas comes from an environment where we laughed at ... but they won a flag.

you do not win flags.. or put yourself in a position to win flags if youre doing half the things u must do.
the game has changed so much.

Wouldnt rate Marcs game anywhere near Daisys as a complete footballer.

having said that he played a brilliant game... but needs to still work on his game as they all do.

Daisy needs to work on his kicking too.. but i have no doubt that will come pretty soon.. but his kicking will not be as elite as Marcs... but his guts will never be rivalled by Marc

marc murphy is leading our tackles with 44, almost double that of Daisy thomas.

Daisy Thomas is up there as well, with 23 - but then again Ellard also has 23 with less game time.

And as far as WHY Marc doenst run equally hard when defending?

Well he learned from the best, and no leadership strength at the club to tell him to do otherwise. (liek the cats told Abblet in 2006 and stevie Johnson etc)

Likee i said Cretylus... there are tackles and tackle stats.
Now remind me about Marc in the game V Swans finals last year... how many did Marc and Juddy have between them ?
I dont wanna see 11 one day and none the next......

Daisy is now better than JUDD or MURPHY.....please....next we will be saying Everitt is better than Gibbs.......we have lost it.

Why don't we just talk about Warnock's tap which started the ball rolling with the Buckley goal or Rowe's efforts down back or Waite, Casboult and Henderson working together up forward .... and leave cr@p discussion alone....

Let's just enjoy that the boys are starting roll and hopefully this is the start for us!!!!

oh one more thing... Murphy needs to be stung into action to do that kind of stuff... its humiliating when the whole world is talking about your lack of tackling and defensive work... u hear it in the media and in the pubs .
What Marc needs to do is make it part of his match to match staple.. not after stinging attacks on his football professionalism.

What that tells me is he is a guy that plays within himself.. happy to cruise through games.
Great sometimes and crap other times.

Thats now whats expected from your captain... i mean our captains have been like that for a decade.... but thats not what you want if youre serious about being a contender

yes ?
no???

of course stats dont tell us the whole story.

Some tackles are worth more than others, (see fraser Brown in the 1999 prelim)

Just as some goals are worth more to a team than others.

But I havent seen anything special from thomas yet - although the last two weeks he has been a lot better. We may see his best next week - i hope so!

Did you notice how daisy's best two games this year were int he last week when we got the basics of the game right as a team???

Thomas is not a match winner - but fits into a game plan and structure very well. He is also a smart player, and cool under pressure - bit like Matty Laipan.

And daisy better be careful, because Dylan Buckley could take his spot in the team the way he is going about his game. Buckley will be very good for us long term.

Hawks improved their midfield last year Mr S which enabled them to get over the cats in a Preliminary and sneak home against the robotic Lyon clowns on GF day...


That's right, ratten is an A grade assistant midfield coach. He is not a head coach.

Surrey i always like your sense of logic and debate and the huge amount of thought you bring to the table...

Were actually discussing work ethic.. and how it must be kept up ... wthout it you cant get anywhere.
Cret is saying work ethic isnt important .,,,, actually im unclear what Cretylus' point is

Is he saying hes happy with our work ethos???

Maybe you can discuss this with Cretylus Surrey and get back to me with a more clear message on whats going on here....

Im not sure Cretylus has any clear points to make.... :lol:

nothing wrong with that - not everyone can make the senior coaching caper a success.

Plenty of examples of champions not being able to coach (See T. Watson, M. Voss, J. Hird etc)

Cretylus whats your point?
That sacraficial acts are not worth jack shit of they come from guys that can also kick goals?
That only the lowly players should be doing those kinds of things...?

Can you make a clear concise argument and ill come back later and read it .. so im understanding your point of view.

Just one more thing... Port wisely rejected Rattens application for head coach.. same as GWS.

whats worse is Ratten then said he didnt want the job.. (after 3 interviews) because Port are a crap club.. and not going anywhere....

Doesnt that ring of his conversation to us after he called off training because of a sprinkle of rain a few years ago?
and also telling us Bower and Russell WILL be all australians ... and the rest of that conversation we had with him....

was a bizarre hour ... and one of the most scary conversations i have had with anyone ....... ever!
you came away thinking the same..

You have to question a blokes judgement when he says
Buckley will take Thomas' position and
The senior coach isn't one of the top 8 critical ingredients to success.

Just tongue in cheek Michael... you are familiar when people says things like "you better watch your job, a new kid is in town"

Even you must be excited by Dylan Buckley. And exactly the sort of extroverted positive excitement machine we need at the moment.

Did you notice that Dylan can actually kick the ball??

Did you also notice that Robbo almost lost us the game, because he cant execute a 20m pass to Menzel with only 90 seconds on the clock?

And Thomas also did some good things under pressure in that game.

So what did I miss?.

Has Synbad elevated Thomas to Big Nic levels yet, will he replace SOS in our best ever teams, ? Why oh why haven't we made a presentation of #25 to him and retired it immediately.Is he the living god walking among the mere mortals in navy?

This is bigger than BARASSI to the Blues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or is he a guy on a squillion, who has (finally) played one solid game?

Carlton beat WCE by 3 points

Lions beat StK by 3 points

Thomas didnt look to keen to take a shot for goal when he marked 20m out. Had to hand it off to the captain to get the job done.

I see murphy busting a gut running both ways all the time.

Thomas is our best player without the ball though. That is his game. WIth it he is ordinary. Without it he is a gun. Always in the oppositions face. Works hard to get between the ball and their goal. For that i admire him but Murphy is the gun required to cap off Thomas' without the ball work.

I am right behind the captain. We all should be. It will help build his persona and soon he will be revered and players will follow.
If we smash him for things like his haircut or every little mistake he makes there is no chance of him making a fist of leading CFC.

Strangelove can piss off though !
