How do you measure commitment through a tv screen?

 

[true believer]

I absolutely hate when he, or any striker does that.
What will our out ball be when the striker drops to DM to make a tackle? At any level of the game. Trust your midfield to win the ball back. Be the forward option. Only press the opposition players in your area (CB’s & DM’s)

I think he's following orders .he gave some nice passes . I could be wrong but i suspect jacko is turning him into a 10/8

Big Al, what do you mean by this? Is he not available for first 4 games?

He’s available. I’d suggest it’s a tongue in cheek comment based off Paull starting the first 4 Aliga games of last season.

 

[Corsair]

That game was lost/ won on attitude.

Hindenburg wanted it more

That’s that
Not good,
The, wonderful ,Mariners never say die attitude needs a reboot

Not sure I saw anyone giving up (apart from eventual fitness issues), basically just not good enough at taking chances, not fit and not played together enough. When we look at this team in December it'll be a different story.

Fair comment
Believe you’ll be right
Never said we gave up
But how many 50/50 balls did they win in the match ?
Heidelberg were up for it , more than us .
What I think and I’ll stand by that

As @priorpeter correctly assumed it was purely cheeky because we are replicating last year. Loose the cup in 1st round.

Paull will get the first chance at the 2nd CB spot. He will make mistakes. We loose the 1st 4 games. Every one thinks it’s over then Diesel comes in. Becomes Dan Hall or Triantis and we go on to win everything again

And to be clear there is no reason Diesel can’t play the first few games

He can't that's not the plan. We have to lose the 1st 4 games
Paull and Wilson need to start

It truly was a bit of Deja vu 😳
Love to see a trajectory that ends the same but could absolutely do without the 4 game deficit straight up.
To be honest though I think many are still in dreamland, treble winning heaven, thinking we will miraculously get better and win the league. Nice place to be but I can’t truly see it ending in a threepeat.

Was it because we were playing too lose?

Top 6 will get us a chance and all we'll need by then is a chance.

On the face of it we're highly likely to get mauled in Asia though, unless there's a rapid improvement or some expert bus parking.

 

[Wombat]

Wilson 💩

Actually looked better than most of the starting 11.

 

[Wombat]

Not impressive at all but we still battled hard enough for the win.

Keeper is sketchy but still looked better than Jack and our old keepper Sozer.
Mauragis is good.
Didn't get the love for Diesel at all tbh. Hopefully he improves or we are in the shit.
Midfield is very lightweight apart from alfie who was easily our best player.
The Brazillien looks very promising.
Alou and Edmo cost us the game tbh.
We massively felt the loss of Nizzy.

What never say die additude?

We said die twice to Sydney last year, .........

 

[priorpeter]

I am in the majority that didn’t think Kuz was good. Couldn’t get past or round the defense an his crosses and corners were bad.

I’m assuming you mean minority?

Re-watching Kuz’ first 15~ minutes - 3 out of his 4 corners connect with a team mate ( 1 taken short), 1 corner into a good area but not hitting a team mate, 3 out of 4 dribbles completed, and 3x corners won.

More than acceptable for a player who is not only coming back from an ACL injury, but also running for Storm who was knackered at RB.

So am I right in suspecting that Jacko is thinking a back 3 for this year, and that explains why Paull got the start.

Noticed often when we pushed forward Muraugius would be a LW essentially and Paull would be way left...would explain why he started out of nowhere too

Actually I blame it on our supporters at the game [yes we could hear it on the telly. Good effort btw] by cheering "Yellow Army" when the Burgers were the team wearing yellow

Looked to me like we were playing a back 4 in defence and shifting to a back 3 when we attack, 1 FB drops into the back 3 and the other joins as a winger, very similar to how Jacko played last year.
1 of the things that makes Jacko seem levels above other Aliga coaches, is his flexibility in formation during a game, he'll change between a back 3, 4 or 5 depending on the opposition/game situation.

 

[Big Al]

He can't that's not the plan. We have to lose the 1st 4 games

That’s exactly what i said 😂
