The Halves Have To Change

[_G-Dog_]

Its clearly the biggest issue in our FG team

How many try assists between them after 4 rounds? Ash Taylor already has 8 after 3 games

They are clueless, they dont have a plan on what to achieve each set and how to end each set

Zero game management, they make it up as they go

The outside backs dont receive quality ball, so the rest of the team try to do it themselves

 

[Oatley Dog]

OK but change to what? Did you see the reggies today? Nothing doing there. We would have to go down to SG Ball to find someone better.

I agree but today they werent to blame. Our pack got monstered.. look at the metres made.

Positional play by abbey in the first half was bad. Something he needs to work on.

 

[top-dog]

Des won't change a thing that's the sad reality.

 

[CaptainJackson]

Today was the forwards mate.

It was all the forwards

 

[Indiandog]

and who you think will coach the new halves?

or do you want "pre coached" halves to join our team?

 

[ricko_29]

Yep, we kept going side to side, even though it never worked we just kept doing it over and over again.

Then when we got okay field position all we could offer up was a bomb to the TEN METRE LINE.

Halves are meant to step up when the game plan doesn't work, no one stepped up today.

I've said this for a few years now. We need a halves player who can stand up and organise our side. Who can step in when we are going shit and try and turn around the game.

We need a Corey Norman / Thurston / Cronk type... fuck even Foran would probably work.

Exactly, Frawley or Cleeland are not first grade standard.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Our halves kicking game is absolutely atrocious.

Sure the forwards were bad, but a good kicking game can build pressure and momentum.

They are clueless.

 

[ricko_29]

Bring back Williams and play him as a specialist half

38 nil and the halves lack of points is the main concern

 

[Indiandog]

wonder why no halves or genuine talent wants to come to dogs

do you think Finucane , tapau, cook would wanna come back to Dogs?

Do you think Ennis wishes he played his last 2 years at the dogs than sharks?

LMAO!

 

[Mr Invisible]

Lachlan Lewis is one that might step up .. but he is a while away yet.

Thurston organises his side

Cronk organises his side

Norman organises his side

Maloney organises his side

Pearce organises his side

Hasler organises his side with his robotic playing structures and techniques

 

[Bad Billy]

I wonder what shifty's doing these days ?

 

[silva]

I would bring in cleeland to halfback and move Reynolds to the bench. We also need a fullback who can do his job.

Neither are mbye and renoylds so fuk it give it a go not like they could be much worse

Oh they could do much worse!! They had absolutely no idea out there today and we won. True once you get to 30+ it probably doesn't matter how much more they put on you but it would have been 60+ with the reggies halves playing today. What are kids in the 20s like? do any of them have potential?

Adam Keighran looks likey he has a nice kicking game and looks to take control. He's about the best we have coming through.
