hawks kick 6 straight in the first last week
This week they kick 1 8 if that was 8 1 it would have been game over
Cannot under estimate the importance of kicking straight
Fev missed 4 shots from inside 35 and none on an angle
Every game we have lost we have out played the opposition
It is our conversion rate that is beating us
So we win if Fev kicks 10 yeah????
We should win by 40 points the games Fev kicks ten.... not by a goal...
They were smashed by a very young Essendon* team.. that just attacked them...
Knights showed how its done..
Agreed Synbad
The Bono's and polyanna's can say what they like (and they're entitled to on this site).
We are a long way off it
Kick out strategies?
Protecting Judd?
Supporting Judd so he can also be an outside player occasionally?
Giving Kruezer some time up forward?
Poor selections at least twice this year?
Lack of alternative plan when A goes awry
Reverting back to the well worn, "Kick it to Fev" mentality?
Make a flowering decision on Setanta. Is it any wonder he's not kicking arse (except Cloke's) and being driven to alcoholism??
Finding space in our f50? There are either no fwds there or the whole 36 are in there + runners +training staff?
And no, the sky isn't falling down, nor do we have no hope, we are just a long way off it, but given some of the reasons above we can control, the club needs to take some responsibility as to why we're a long way off it. It's not always about development and time. If we make some astute decisions, we can expediate development and time. Yes, we will lose close ones and feel that improvement is coming along but please, lets not praise mediocrity.
I agree that we need to give Kreuzer more time up forward and
we have made some shocking selections this year, but
We are not THAT far off. When we play our best footy we are excellent, it's a matter of doing it consistently and no reverting back to our old game style. Yes, we do need to iron out a few issues, but I think we're addressing them.
Reverting back to kick it to Fev? 1 game ou of 6 we've done that. And we nearly won.
And make a flower decision on Setanta??????? Do you think they either have to decide he is in the whole season or out the whole season? What a joke! He is a borderline player. He will come in when we need him. If he plays well enough he will hold his spot. If there are better alternatives, they will come in. The MC has to pick the BEST TEAM EACH WEEK!
Either Austin or Hampson has come in for Setanta. When they bought Setanta in Austin had only just come back from injury, and a pure ruckman like Hampson wasn't needed against the Dogs. Austin has been playing very good footy in the 2's, he is young, and looks to be a quality KPP for the future. Then a for Hampson, he was an absolute must against Sandilands, plain and obvious.
The MC has picked the best team to beat Freo. Setanta will have to understand that unless he plays well enough to demand a position, he will be in and out as the team needs him. Thats why you have reserves! I don't understand how the MC have to "decide on Setanta"
FWIW I do think Setanta has a role to play in our team against some teams, as we are a bit short down back at times. For example, I thought he was a must against Essendon* to take Lloyd or Lucas and release Waite. But unless he improves he will continue to be in and out of the team.
