Rd6: Parra v Canberra LIVE game day thread

[Gary Gutful]

Who’s decision was it bring an AFL trainer??

Spags.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I think it was Spags recommendation

*snigger snigger*

Damn.

 

[Gronk]

Seriously though, where is panthers111 and the like who were f**king smashing us for having Ronnie Palmer on the staff and how shit our fitness was and now comparing that to the Tigers this year with him and they are about to win their 5th game and they probably should be undefeated (with either a draw or a win against the Broncos)........

Why did we get rid of Ronnie anyways?

Jake may have something but TBH, body language, fatigue, missed tackles, poor discipline are are all a symptom of a team deeply down on confidence.

Confidence brings buzz, brings adrenaline brings enthusiasm brings attitude.

These players have been preparing all summer and I think that Palmer or AFL guy or Elkin or Hayden Knowles can all prepare a team.

Blaming AFL guy is easy cos he is part of what has changed from 2017 to18.

Our problems are more about adapting to new ref styles, lack of some new big boppers (Matagi and the other merkin in reggies doesn’t help), missing Semi and most importantly we have a dozen or so really good players who are all in rubbish form at the same time.

We've looked rooted during periods where we have had plenty of ball though. We don't seem to be match fit.

Check my new thread.... A smart man like yourself prob already picked up on it.
A guy like me leaves no stone unturned. Very suprised BA hadnt said anything start of season.

Eat shit.

 

[Eelogical]

Eat shit.

It's the staple diet around Emu Plains.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Emu Shit.

 

[strider]

Damn.

Id say great minds but no one would believe it on either count

 

[JokerEel]

Watching the replay it is clear that Norman and Auvaaaa shouldn't defend together...
Norman is terrible in defence even Moses has gotten better.

20 minutes in Moses has only touched the ball to kick.

Gutho is the best player in our team..

 

[IFR33K]

Watching the replay

Why the f**k would you do it to yourself.

 

[JokerEel]

Why the f**k would you do it to yourself.

Didn't get to watch live which was probably a good idea..

No intensity or speed as it's been noted no fitness...

 

[hindy111]

Gutho could maybe play centre or fullback if there are injuries .... but turbo tom is going to another level and will probably have a mortgage on fullback if he stays fit

Gutherson is built for origin but Teddy and Turbo are more explosive.

Before year started Hayne,Jennings,Moses,Norman,Brown all had some chance if form was good to make a case. None would get a mention now.

 

[hindy111]

So Dugan is better than Gutherson?

Or could it be that there are other factors at play despite just ability?

Gutherson is as good as Trbojevic.

Id say he would be viewed as better but I wouldn't swap them.

 

[hindy111]

Or is he sick of the same old shit on here...?

I've noticed a few good posters (plus Pou) have started going MIA over gameday and the following day or so.

Yes i have considered going missing also

Is it our fitness or the opposition have more days off between games giving them better preparation.
Twice our opposition had an extra 3 days off and twice 2 days off to recover from the week before. Im sure they where feeling more fresh.

While it is pretty much an excuse, it probably also has some merit
