Continuing Trend

[Tiger_Shark]

It keeps happening every week and frustrates the hell out of me. What am i talking about?

Clangers/Turnovers (this week's clangers: Geel 36 Rich 69)

What the annoying part is it happens under no pressure. This week we played a side that made us pay.

To take the next step we need to eradicate this disease.

Lift ya game Tigers!

 

[JR8]

Agree.

69 clangers!!

That must be some record.

 

[Spirit of Jack]

We had this disease for 26 years, surely you have got used to it by now!

 

[Tiger_Shark]

Agree.

69 clangers!!

if it isn't a record, it wouldn't be far off it. hope we don't try to break it next week.

well i was pessimistic last year.

but with the young blood coming through changed to optimistic this year.

maybe your right though. i'm getting far too ahead of my self.

 

[S.D.]

We are improving, but still too many platers with poor skills, and were always going to be exposed trying to play keepings off against
geelong.

You obviuosly haven't played the game before;
TV makes it look very easy;

Reflects poorly on the coaching staff that after almost four years of Wallace, the kicking skills and decision making are still not acceptable.

The media wonder why Miller was sacked and a review is being undertaken on our football operation. Because of night's like tonight - that's why. Too many skill deficient footballers recruited to the club; lack of sufficient improvement in foot skills and a game plan that relies on high skill efficiency with players that can't deliver.

Yet again, I question whether Wallace and his assistants are up to the task.

Glad i chose to watch the dark knight tonight.

Look i've never played at an elite level. but i do go to watch them live and watch it on TV, and look at replays.

doesn't make my observations any different. Sure Geelong put us under pressure but we stuffed many forward movements through simple errors. To be elite, which we aint even close to yet, we need to improve dramatically in this this area.

P.S. Don't know why people make personal digs for the sake of making themselves the expert on everything.

1. It doesn't matter if i've played the game or not, it was there for all to see tonight.
2. "Obviously you've never played the game before": Obviously you wouldn't know!

I know with a username like yours "skills" you you must be "clanger free" but that's abit of a cheap shot.
I've never played the game at the highest level but I was at the game and there were a lot of times tonight where they were under perceived pressure but no real pressure and turned it over very often.

 

[Tigers2011]

No excuses in professional sport for mediocre skills. In future, players coming into our club should be expecetd to have solid kicking techniques upon arrival that then further develop within the AFL competition.

If it's good enough for Geelong to kick with 85% efficiency, then we have to strive to get better than that. We can no longer make excuses for poor kicking games such as tonight. If you keep accepting the mediocre, how can improvement be achieved.

Many of the turnovers tonight were not the result of tackling pressure. They were real basic skill errors. Compared to the skills required in many other sports, kicking a Sherrin over 30 metres to another bloke is not that difficult.
