ALM Round 7 v WU. Spoon Bowl. Again.

[Forum Phoenix]

Anyone fancy eating some humble pie on Hall? Immense tonight. As I said on the pod I’m not gonna say “I told you so”, buuuuuuuuut….. nah fk it, I did tell you so.

He’s made a massive difference. You’ve earned your I told you so. You’ve always been a true champion for him. Though there’s also been quite a few of us.who have still believed.

He had a rough gig last year. We’d endured a longer series of developing player errors with Kye or others as they played their way into becoming great footballers. And it was hard to see Dan make a few errors that when coupled with the awesomely ambitious and demanding Monty. paired with the unstoppable rise of Triantis - that the timing was so cruel for him and his development.

But now surely he’s shown again just how good he can be. And as that late run shows, he has more in his locker than most CB’s will ever he able to offer.

Sheesh sorry for typos. Fat fingers and phone always a challenge.

I think you have to, it’s probably like others and they are tiny ones.

Yup they wear the kid sized ones! My daughter works at Rebel and often sells them to the boys.

I might be wrong , but Aloisi didn’t blow the roof off playing for us did he ?

No. Absolute passenger in 08 GF

 

[Wombat]

Were you in 45BS last season?

No mate i'm retired now. My last season was during Covid when they cancelled the comp after about 8 games. Got to play against Marinermick in my final season but i was slow and on one leg by then (still a win but i did fark all).

I agree with this and with Torres. We saw a huge amount from him from where we were and as I said earlier, he actually does a lot. His work rate is high, I can’t fault hos effort. I’m happy to persevere with him, he just needs to finish what he creates.

. sorta disagree

. i've been saying since he achieved the unremarkable feat of 756 shots for one on target in our first few games:

• he should get a goal bonus for assists
• he should only get half that if he actually scores
• but he loses any goal bonus every time he hits the scoreboard or worse

You are a hard marker bikini girl. I'd hate you watching me play.

. its more about taking the pressure off ... it almost seems like an excited panic sets in when he gets in front of goal

I remember him scoring one cracker from distance but also missing a tap in from less than a metre.

Singo covered his wages. Reportedly $750k a year

I know of one team mate that didn't think much of him

Torres shooting is like a casual golfer. He doesn’t get over the ball. He is reaching for it just a little to far from his body and up she goes. He would be fantastic out of the bunker

I watched the shooting closely on Friday night and the best two clean power strikers of the ball were Wilson and Di Pizzo. Wilson. Was smashing some beauties. Maybe try him at Striker next.

Tulio of course has the best placement but for power and was Wilson. Like the goal he scored he hits a ball very cleanly.

Give John A enough time and he will turn any team in to spooners. Absolutely fantastic player but coaching and recruiting is not for him.

They were horrible and Penha is not performing.

Just shows you how special Diamanti was and Privoic was a great threat as well.

They were woeful on the corners and fore some reason after we had scored two in a row we went short and tried to change the angle. Just keep hitting the same spot until they prove they can stop it

100% this, exactly what I said at the game. Very strange.

. now I'm going to have people asking me 'why do you call him Bunker? '

it's repeated failure . many a coach must have looked at his technic .
i keep saying there is an under lying medical issue . probably with his peripheral vision .

Beni was a completely different type of player. 100% confidence player.
The French Kwas. Capable of breathtaking genius or into Brisbane Water.
Le Kwas
Torres is just selfish and can't shoot

I don’t even recall Wilson coming on?

He didn't.
