To the people on this forum who say that we haven't been playing that badly, that we played well on Friday night, that North's 'emotion' got them over the line, aren't facing reality. For the past 3 weeks we have played 'sheizen howzen' football. We have totally stopped running and supporting. We hardly ever have anyone running past to receive a handball, never have numbers around the ball anymore and are nearly always out numbered at contests. Why is this?
From the backline, we play so slow, stop-start football. We just chip it or kick it long to contests down the boundary line (usually to a long lead from Richo). We never link up from the back with run to create our attacks. Frawley has got us playing a very UGLY, BORING, and crap style of football which is not capable of beating anyone at the moment. He is content as he would say to 'grind' the game out and hopefully get a win. What a negative way to win a game. We have no idea in the centre anymore. I've been watching closely, and nearly every game i've seen we are always second to the ball in the centre, and just don't know how to read the ball and get there first with numbers. I've always said that our lack of pace is a real concern, and you can definately see, especially over the past 3 weeks that we look slower than the opposition, they always get more numbers to the contests, etc.....
We definately need to axe Frawley as he has no idea. Someone like a Terry Wallace would get us playing a much more attacking, free-flowing, exciting style of football which would be capable of kicking a winning score, which reminds me of another sad statistic that i noticed yesterday which was we have the lowest "Points For" in the top 11. This doesn't surprise me at all.
So to you Rosy, who thinks we played good against North, I say you must be watching a different game or are a bit of a dreamer, not with reality. No offence to you either, just very dissappointed at seeing that we are going nowhere again. It starts with the recruiting in G.Hack, I mean Beck, then with an egg coach like Frawley, how the @%^%$# can we be successful.
Alot of years before we see sustained success.
Go Tiges!!! :'(
