Cogs on SEN now!

Says he is ready to go.
Shower incident the AC went through about 80%.
Doesn't know when he's gonna play seniors yet. Has not got the go ahead yet.
Says last week was a shock , felt game had sped up in 2 years!
Cats are not foot quick, hands are superb, big bodies, and they don't cough it up.
Wait and see on R1.
Will take a couple of games to adjust again.
Has played 41 games since 2003 B&F
Rest of body no problem, only one ligament any problem.
Feels confident in himself, but all the unkown factors until you get out there.
Josh Hunt buried him the other week, felt fine, pulled up well.

Go Cogs.

LMAO. So the cats are not foot quick? Geez they look pretty damn fast to me. So they're slow but have big bodies and great skills as opposed to the tigers who are fast and have crap skills and are built like pencils. I understand now.

Actually what Cogs said is true.
Bartel,Ling,Corey,Selwood are not greyhounds but they more than make up for it in the skills dept etc.

What would he know, he only played against them :cutelaugh
 
itsintheblood said:
Yeah he's right. The likes of bartel, selwood, varcoe, wojinski, are all snails pace. ::)

I wouldn't say Bartel or Selwood are superquick but they are very smart players and with quick decision making give themselves time

Varcoe and Wojo are just freakin quick

Big difference between being able to run quickly & moving the ball quickly. The cats look quick because they run in numbers & move the ball FORWARD at every opportunity. They don't stop, go sideways, backwards etc, so before you know it, they are in their Fwd 50. Makes them look very quick. As opposed to our stop start circle work & handballing to stationary players before we fumble it & turn it over. This is where we need to improve - go direct, run in numbers to support the ball carrier & reduce the amount of times you handle the ball before heading inside attacking 50. I couldn't care less how quick one of our blokes is if he is going to run the length of the park - it's still slower than kicking the bloody thing forward.

Like a few, understand what he means. As with basketball, pace can be an illusion. Slick team linkage produces the pace Cogs is on about. The coughing it up is the handbrake on pace - one of these and momentum and positioning is lost all the way up the ground and you look slow again.

Our skill level stops us nearly every time. At least 2 years off getting competitive in this department.
 
The cats are quick in mind.

We might be quick in foot but we are slow in mind.

You wanna coaching job down at punt road? There could be one available by around round 10.

Yep, it's one of the most basic drills a coach can do to get a basic concept into dumb footballers minds - hell I needed it! ;D

Fair dinkum, footy has become over-complicated for no reason at all except to have half a dozen assistant coaches. Walls tried to to do it with the list we had, Wallace is doing the same. When you have the skill level that we do - keep the *smile* game plan simple!!!

I noticed that too last year, they always seem to run in numbers, but they are able to transfer the ball from full back to full forward in no time. You cant achieve this by running really fast, but by your skills and decision making.

Wallace like the running game, its almost as if the players are told to hang onto the ball too long. Fair enough, break lines and dont cough it up, but he must throw the 'first option best option' rule out the window.

Well said Zippers, you're right on the money :thumbsup

Ling is hardly fast but he sure can play.
Yep, good player for a bloodnut! Strong & tough, good overhead & can kick the footy. Head like a smashed honey jar though. :hihi
