No hate.think positive wrote:Don't get the Degoey hate. He's a kid, lot of learning to do. He is playing in a Gillian's island forward line, he'd learn a lot quicker with some quality in there with him. I'm loving his endeavour, same as Treloar.
Oh and Go Blair!
But he fumbles and doesn't hit a target under any sort of pressure.
He is a top 10 pick.
He should have clean hands.
I know he will get better. But this fundamental part of his game is really shite.
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.

Missing from our forward line today through injury...
Elliott
Fasolo
Moore
Missing from our midfield today through injury....
Swan
Adams
Missing from our backline today through injury...
Ramsay
Langdon
Just a lazy 32% of our best 22. And yes, all those names are best 22. I've even left back up players such as Sharenberg out.
Happy for others to field a team from other games this weekend that won with 30%+ of their best 22 out.
Oh, might also be worth someone adding up the total amount of games between Phillips, Smith, Maynard, Cox, Marsh, Crocker and DeGoey.

ALL very true, but such logic and commonsense is now spoiling the sad sackers big night out.

they weren't good enough were they?
Elliot is probably finished
Swan ditto
Fas has only had one good year ...this year
Langdon not an A grader maybe a B grader at best
Ramsay very very very early days
Adams ok
Moore will be an A grader but not this year.
So really the idea that they would make a big difference is just a fantasy

OK, I've restrained myself from commenting in the game earlier as I was too emotional to make any sensible comment - not that it's ever stopped me before!
Anyway, here's my take on our debacle of a season thus far, which was on display today:
1. We do not have a quality ruckman in our team. Grundy is our best, but he is more a ruckrover as he rarely wins hitouts.
2. Too many of our midfielders, such as Sidey and Treloar, are easily knocked off the ball. The only grunt player we have is Greenwood, who can tackle well, but not much else. Obviously Adams is a warrior but he's injured. Pendles is not hard enough at the contest. De Goey is still developing and Crisp seems more comfortable as an outside running player.
3. In the absence of Darcy Moore, we do not have a quality key forward. Cox is a project player and likely to be one for a couple more years. I think Cloke is cooked, but maybe he should be recalled to the team and told he has 10 weeks to demonstrate his worth to our team, or else he'll be off-loaded.
4. We do not have a decent crumbing forward. Even Elliott is not a great crumber. Our only one was Swan and he may never play again.
5. We do not have a quality full back. Reid is terrific at CHB and Howe is a great flanker but neither Frost, Marsh or even Brown are top shelf defenders.
6. Our team lacks proper on field leadership. Pendles is no leader and sadly Reid seems unwilling to provide leadership and direction in defence. We need some mongrel, some do or die attitude. Where is our Tuddy or Millane?
7. Obviously our shocking run of injuries has prevented any stability and consistency, but even with all our list available, the above 6 problems remain, though making Adams captain might help address point 6..
Finally, given all of the above, I haven't a clue if Bucks can coach or not. I'm not prepared to damn him as the cause of our problems, but in all honesty, I can't provide evidence that he can be a good coach.

On paper it may appear that we were better than last week, but in reality Melb are a worse side than Port, and they played some generally crap football today. Our performance was just as bad as last week.
I think De Goey has been poor all season. However we just have to play him. I am not confident that he will become a very good AFL player, not while he fumbles and misses targets by foot.

The 5 premiership players playing VFL won a flag 6 years ago... They were best 22 then, but certainly are not now. Keep playing the kids, our next premiership photo wont have Toovey, Goldy, Brown or Cloke in it.thompsoc wrote:what about the 5 flag players playing in the vfl?burnsy17 wrote:Missing from our forward line today through injury...

The players mentioned in my original post are ALL best 22 players. There is no disputing that.
Still waiting for someone to post a side that won this weekend with 32% of their best 22 out injured....
