Flanno Ball

[Card Shark]

Can we please play this way the rest of the year!

The forwards made the metres up the guts but we once again failed to control the game with ridiculous handling.

Masochist!!

 

[PJ]

Do not deserve to be in the finals.

First week will be embarrassing.

 

[Card Shark]

Masochist!!

We have proven that whatever way we are intending to play, we can’t.

Let’s just do 5 hit ups & kick to the corner.

Just don't ask Chad to kick then

 

[Griffoshark66]

Flanno ball is beyond these blokes. Relies on low error count and brutal defence. We have exactly the opposite.

This is because this team has an identity crisis.

I'm gonna paraphrase a PM I got after the game because what the member said is right

The team has 3 distinct cohorts of players

Flannoball players who can no longer dredge out 80 minutes which was a crucial part of it. This cohort is either too old, too broken or too unsuitable for BomberBall...whatever that looks like eventually

Flashy players who don't fit in well, take dumb risks, play rogue fashion and possibly expect others to know what the fugue they are doing.

Kids who have no idea who to follow as circumstances such as injuries has seen them following different individual leadership styles all year. Kids who don't have the basics down pat.

3 cohorts of players. None of them on the same page. It can't work well. There will be moments, but not consistency.

The basis of this team is there. The finished product is years off.

With no money

f**ken years of this shit?

Think I might have to start watching video gamers compete in Esports. At least they have passion for what they do.

That or help volunteer with content updates at the sperm bank library.

 

[Weaponhead]

Good analysis.

Flanno ball is dead. Those who could do it haven't been able to do it in 3 years.

Morris has not been able to put his stamp on the team. He didn't get an off season due the NRL dithering on dealing with Flange.

It's frustrating as the talent is there but they have not consistently delivered.

The premiership window is shut. The club has to decide whether it backs the Morris plan or not. He needs a big off season to make the changes he needs to.

Transition.

Funky word.

Teams have transitional years.

We are having one. New coach ushering in new players and trying to usher out old ones.

Storm can transition players without hiccup because theyve had the same coach and systems for a decade. Senior players run the culture.
We experienced this format a few years ago.

In summary - to look at the shit fight that was evident today...to read about our issues as analysed here....its amazing we are even in the 8.
Incredible we lost games through goalkicking which would have us in the 4.

Says a lot about the culture of the joint.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

total load of shit. We played with a group of players that won the spoon. Short time later , they win the comp, with the addition of 2 players.
We are missing go forward,
If yo udont know hwat I mean, then watch the classic game on KAYO for 94 Sharks V Dragons & watch Boondy run. That is what we are missing. Gal is the only one providing that currently.

 

[bluefox68]

I like the fact that Feki is going.

Gal has been absolutely inspirational to the Sharks, and he’s retiring at the right time.

As much as I love Duges, I think he’s next...

Yes it does rely on low error count.

I’m not saying we will do it as good as we used to but at least we will drop a lot less ball with less passing, theoretically!

We have the goal line fefence to go somewhere in this comp (albeit not brutal), we just need to start applying pressure with good field position.

 

[Quicksilver]

We’ve been making a shit load of errors for years.

It’s just that our defence was good enough to cover it under Flanno

 

[spirit of league]

You can’t stay in the grind if you won’t roll up your sleeves, run farkn hard or show at least a modicum of respect for the pill.

Nobody is expecting a victory lap in early October, but the shyte being served up currently is beyond diabolical.

 

[Surely]

It’s a pretty simple game, the less ball the opposition have the more chance you have.

Well not quite that simple but 90% of it.

Snout, Melbourne Storm have been held together well because of Cameron Smith. He is the conductor of the band.

Once he goes it will be very different for Melbourne.

This sums the current team up perfectly.

I see the square peg into round hole players the major problem. Because it stuffs up the whole mechanics of the team. Very hard to identify what style this team plays anymore because there’s too many players just doing their own shyte.

Juniors always make mistakes but they are the future of this team. The Club just has to get right on who to invest time into and who to move on. Hopefully Bomber knows who these players are.

Exactly.

This is why we need to simplify our game.

We can’t control possession, so tuck it under the arm & run straight & hard.

Will definitely need to do that V Canberra or they will blow us away with heaps of possession.
