If you just get onto the AFL website and watch the first 15 or so minutes of the game again.
It's not coaching.
Betts has a shot he normally eats . Hits the base of post irrelevant anyway Forest had given away the free.
Darling gets 10 meters on Weiters.
Ryan gets 5 metres on stocker
Forest has 4 players he could have given off to and choose to kick towards boundary deliberate.
Fisher has a flying shot misses.
Setterfield misses
JSOS misses
JSOS again misses
Harry misses.
Murphy gets kick smothered when a simple baulk or give to Fisher would have been a goal.

I turned to the guy sitting next to me and said there's the game we might as well go home.

A confident good team playing as a team would have been 5 goals up at quarter time. We went in down.
The game was done and dusted before Harry went Down.
The rot had set in when Pitto started missing in the 2nd
5 goals up he kicks them every day of the week.

You can't coach that

You can't coach mindset? Execution under pressure?

I think you can...

Compare where their first 4 or 5 shots were from compared to ours. That tells a story about our defence.

"I had to eat"

I struggle with the notion Teague has an attacking game plan - he does if that means chipping the ball wide on a narrow, short ground and flooding everyone into the F50 and then bombing it long and hoping someone finds a whole carrot amongst that vomit. Then you trot along guarding space a few metres off the WCE ball carrier as they take 3 kicks to a one on one to expose us cold.

thats neither an attacking game plan or a defensive one.
that's just another form of crap. And then you can roll in the complete lack of emotion from Teague and it just cooks you to watch it.

he's in charge - i'd love to see him throw the magnets around and try something. We didn't even barrel it up the guts when we're down four with five minutes to go.

Every shot we had was within 35 meters from goal.
The were launching from 45 out .

Fish has a flying shot from 20 out directly in front.

Setterfield didn't make the distance from 30 meters

I will give you a tip put our blokes in the same spots WC were and we miss

Yeah don't disagree. Mindset in my thoughts = confidence.

Maybe Teague seems compelled by loyalty to those who helped him get the job, such as assistants and senior players.

Doesn’t paint the greatest picture…

Maybe because some of the senior players liked the more attacking game plan?

Thing is it looks like he’s trying to add defensive layers to the attacking game plan, which seems a compromise that isn’t working.

That’s what I wonder too. Our senior players haven’t achieved anything to warrant us thinking they know best.

I remember hearing one of the commentators a few weeks ago say we were the most nervous looking team in the AFL. Could have been kingy. Anyway he's so right

geez, but they are all spot on with what they are saying, even monga tanga

i particularly liked what king said about asking saad to defend - makes me wonder what teague does, or what level of control / respect he has of the players

_________________
my last one was rubbish

Missing easy goals has been a feature of our game for such a long time

It is such a deflator and does impact games, particularly when you are losing by 3-4 goals

Even our best forward is a crap kick for goal

Definitely something that should be explored in the external review

And to make things more interesting we have no reserves playing. Kemp missing out on real time footy as is Honey, Parks etc

How many Carlton players would you bet your house on if they were 30m out directly in front?
Maybe Owies?

A few questions raised in today's HeraldSun article by Scott Gullan (some of which we've raised ourselves) ....

Why was 12-gamer Liam Stocker left on Liam Ryan?

Why wasn’t co-captain Sam Docherty given the responsibility to shut down Ryan?

Why was Ed Curnow, the Blues No.1 stopper, left on a halfback flank?

Why was Andrew Gaff and Dom Sheed allowed to collect 62 possessions between them (think Curnow)?

Why was Jacob Weitering not thrown forward when Harry McKay went down?

Why wasn’t Patrick Cripps tried in the goalsquare?

What has happened to Marc Murphy who looks shot?

Why has Jack Martin gone backwards?

Teague’s body language was also a topic of discussion after he switched it up and sat on the interchange bench at the SCG on Sunday.

As one former old school coach said: “What’s the impression you get when you see the coach cross-legged on the bench looking as if he is meeting someone for a cup of coffee?”

They're right about a lot of it but Montagna saying we play one on one? I don't know who the @#$%&! he is watching.
