I’ve been a supporter of Baz, but this week he proved he has no idea what the fuck he’s doing. Long thread, but I gotta get some shit off my chest because yesterday’s game revealed a lot about us, particularly Trent. And those who are saying not to panic should really be panicking.
We have a squad full of talented young players with fragile confidence as it is, and if you go down the list, Baz is directly causing the regression of each players confidence and he’s holding their talent hostage. He’s trying to fit them into his spastic system which clearly isn’t fucking working, instead of using their talent and playing to each players strength. On paper our side looks much better than we have been performing.
Dufty only gets the ball to attack when we’re on the goalline, he should be backing up TPJ/ King offloads and sniffing around the ruck always, playing freely.
Burton is on a prison sentence on that left side and has been relegated to a first receiver/ 5th tackle bomb merchant. It’s a fucking joke, he should be given free reign to play what opens up in front of him. When we are attacking the line, Burton and Dufty should control tackles 2-4 to decide how they want to run the set and to get creative, playing short sides, putting players into holes and whatever opens up. The halfback should be the 5th tackle kicker here to free Burton for the earlier tackles.
Addo carr, the origin winger and fastest player in the comp, is being used like he’s Okunbor, yardage hit ups and only gets the ball off of our slow, sluggish set plays with like 1 decoy runner that opens up no holes in the defence. He has rarely been put into decent space to show his speed, every time he gets the ball he’s against 2 or 3 defenders.
when he was in the centre’s, Naden was being asked of way too much.He always ended up with the ball but didn’t know how to create space for fox or for himself.He was being given too many decisions to make when he’s not that kind of player. So what happens when he can’t fit Baz’s mould? Gets moved to the wing after 2 weeks after just following orders. I’d have a sook too
We all know the story with Avo. Ball running 5/8 (absolutely killed it in reggies last week at 6 but anywho) who gets pigeon holed into playing 7 and making all our big decisions. Obviously struggled but As soon as he shows signs of growth, boom dropped by baz and then put into left centre (when he was played on the right side until now).
Now it seems he’s trying to use TPJ as our ball playing lock. Is he fucking for real?
How could you trust your coach if you’ve worked all pre season with a particular line up and he’s blown it all up in 2 rounds out of panic and sheer ineptitude? He’s incompetent and has no idea what he’s doing. He’s playing these players to their weaknesses and it’s killing their talent and love for the game.
Why do you think every player we have kills it in Reggies? Even Flanagan for fucks sake. Of course it’s a step down in talent, but it’s because they are free to play their natural game. Trent Barrett is forcing talented players to adjust their natural game to suit his abysmal failure of an attacking system.
I don’t know how much longer I can watch this shit
