Skill Level
Geez our skills are pathetic. So many turnovers coming out of defence. Reckon it cost us 3 goals at least today, thankfully Adelaide turned it over just as much.
When sheeds goes, tell him to take our skills coach with him. Its becoming a joke as to how grown men can not hit a target 20 meters up the ground.

Rossoneri, at times our skills looks very, very good. At other times we looked abysmal.

Ball use going into the forward 50 wasn't much better at times. Players on their own ignored, & bombing the ball to several crows on their own.
The other annoying thing about the way we've been playing is getting a few goals ahead, then giving up the momentum & panicking.
The good thing is winning the close ones. If we clear up the skill errors, & get some ruthlessness into the team, then we'll go places.

Licha missed one in the second quarter.F111 wrote:Three occasions saw us snap at the goals and miss yesterday. Each of those occasions had enough time to straighten up and run at the goal instead of low % 'round the corner snaps. McPhee was one, the others I can't remember...
Licha got one eventually, and just as well to.
Also in defence, we would blindly kick the ball out. Where are the voices to tell them they have time? And what happened to "hitting the boundary line" when in trouble?

have a read of this article

not only for its description of our disposal - but very interesting paragraph about the "coaching oversight"

McVeigh showed yesterday how valuable a player is who can hit targets consistently. With our lack of pace, we simply can't afford to turn it over and expect to win. We got away with it yesterday, but that was because Adelaide were as poor by foot as we were. On a bigger ground, such as the MCG, we simply will need to hit targets.
I dont think leaving Hille on the bench was an oversight. Somehow it seems once Laycock goes into the ruck we start winning it out of the middle and this seems to happen even when he doesnt get the tap. Its like the Adelaide rovers read Hille's tap and they didnt read Laycocks as well. At the moment Laycock is having a more significant influence on the game than Hille.
As for the Adelaide player plugging the leading space of Lloydy well some of our players kicks in the second quarter were just plain dumb.

That's bullshit...Hille was clearly better than Laycock yesterday. Adelaide were a lot better when Hille was off the ground except for a period in the second quarter where Hille seemed to be second guessing himself at the centre bounces.MH_Bomber wrote:I dont think leaving Hille on the bench was an oversight.

Even Neil Craig said that Hille was excellent and a major contributor to us scoring 11 goals from stoppages.

I've realised what Peverill does that makes his kicking poor. He holds the ball flat, rather than pointing down.
Swoodley, I think MH meant over the past month or so, not just this week. I also reckon that Laycock has been better recently and we seem to get it out of the middle more with him on all year.
