Treble Winners v Scummiest Scum To Ever Scum

What's your point?

That kaltak hasn't been the brick wall of Gosford this year.

And when he has been poor the blame has been shifted or excused as him having to organise or cover for other players.

Paull is a wide left footed CB in a modern 343.
He is not a LB or LWB.

We haven't had many crosses from the left as good as the one he provided in Tarneit.🤣🤣🤣

I see, so when I say I don't think Paull is yet up to Aleague standard at Centre back you're saying he is but he gets the blame for Brian's mistakes which makes people think he isnt as good as he really is. That's your opinion, I'm not of the same opinion.

I'm not some huge Kaltak fan, I think he's a good player who is guaranteed to make a mistake eventually. His weakness is being pressed and rushed. Paull is better at playing out and that's part of why I think he's shining at LB. Also turns out he can cross well and is a decent goal hanger. Keep him at LB.

Stats don't tell you how well a player positions himself or reads play. I agree Brian has had some poor games as well this season.

Ability to read the game would lead to higher interceptions. Ability to read the game can be a natural skill or acquired from experience, no?

Furthest left at the back is what I call LB even if it's a 3 so I probably word that incorrectly.

 

[VonBowellski]

He’s also possibly our best striker 😂

😳

Besides Owen G

Yes and I've said before that I don't think Paull reads the game well as a natural talent. It might improve with time, positioning is similar. As a defender at 21 I thought he'd be further along than he is but maybe he didn't get a lot of game time before joining us.

I'm not ragging on him I think he's playing well at the moment, now he's out of that CB role he looks a lot more comfortable.

No. What I am saying is that he is developing into a player who could be a solid a league standard defender. I'm not saying he is prime Maldini.

What I am also saying, is that when Brian sits on the 6 yard box and doesn't mark anyone, that to blame paull for conceding the goal, without even acknowledging the part such poor positioning had on the goal being conceded, is a poor bit of analysis. Also that the second goal is not just that nata won the header - the dismal playing at the back and conceding of the corner directly contributed to the goal. Ignoring that and pinning it on Paull is just plain BS.

And there is countless times this year that Brian's errors have been excused because he was under the debilitating effect of captaincy or playing next to Paull (even when some of his biggest gaffes this year were when he was playing next to tapp or sains - can't blame Paull for the honking defending against Sydney as he didn't even play).

He's not out of the CB role. We play with 3, he is one of them.

Yeah OK i wasnt being specific about that game so you're still on about posts with cap, fair enough.

His defending hasn't improved as much as his attacking ability.
Perhaps having Josh Rose on the coaching team has helped his go forward

That run up the left wing was very much Rose-esque xD

Does not compute. Old git can't comprehend 3 CB's 😀 Its one CB a RB and LB! (Yes I know it's 3 CB's really but it leaves me with Vicky Pollard syndrome, yeah but no but yeah but no but....!)

WTH has happened to Mauragis anyway? Does anyone know?

Until we sell them. Who else are we going to be selling end of season? Isn’t that how we survive? We don’t have a bunch of players that are going to go overseas and bring us big money.. we are going to need to sell the kids 😳 if we can even do that, not just lose them to other clubs.

None of the current crop of kids are ready to be going overseas. I fully expect all of them to still be here next season. As for selling anyone else for abit of profit, I honestly don’t think that’ll be happening this time around. No senior players have been that consistently excellent, Mauragis maybe? But he’s now been out for a little while.

FFS if no one made a mistake there would be no goals in any game.
Gawd you're all a miserable lot. The goo feasting here is worse than the bad old days.

I am seeing a lot of improvements, I am also seeing a lot of exciting upcoming new talent that I find great pleasure watching, that I believe will make us into a team that gets silverware next year and the year after.
This year is as I expected, a massive rebuilding one where results are less important than developing new players.

I wish people would see and discuss that rather than trying to analyse our last 6 plays to see who to hang out to dry for an opponents goal.

The discussions are becoming very negative, depressing and pointless.

Keep calm and blame Feijao
