Round 2 v Gold Coast

[style_cafe]

Hard to tell what the problem is... for a lot of the time they were just knocking it around the back and to the goalie... side-side-back, while Graham Arnold was up and screaming at them to pass and move. Didn't look at all like the side that got to the grand final last season. Bozza absolutely ripped in at them, basically saying that half the players didn't want to be out there. Pretty ordinary if that's the case. Hopefully they get their mojo back, and quickly.

On a more positive note - Patrick was bombing some great passes long from the back and finding a player up on the front right wing... obviously nothing came of it this time but wouldn't be surprised if we got a few goals by catching teams off guard like that through the season.

Good point Adz.
Both Dutchy & BP were hitting the target with the cross-field switches,but it was like feeding strawberries to pigs.

With passes like that we need Rosey & Pedj to attack the by-line & either get the cross in or to cut the ball back for someone else.
Far to often ,with Pedj especially,there seems to be an invisable line which he`s not allowed to cross(maybe from his junior days with Illawarra)
I`d love to see him get forward, like Rosey did last year, attacking the defenders.

yeh...I was watching the game and i got to thinking that Olly has lost any sort of decision making skills......as for Pedj ..shocker is the only word I can use, I think Chicken was very quiet too...as for Pello, he seemed over excited or something, trying to do too much all at once....and who thinks Kwas shouldn't be starting ?.. let baird and mcbreen start and put bernie and kwas on as subs...of course I could be wrong

Recky,I`ll stick my neck out & say "KWASSIE SHOULDN`T BE STARTING"
Personally I`d go with Baird,with Bernie on the splinter.
I`d release McBreen.

Style as much as I have been a Kwasie fan over the years I think we now have better options and like you I would to have the same strike combo with bernie on the bench. Agree with releasing Mcbreen and promote Duke.
