I can’t fault our endeavour or effort and thought our defence was remarkable but we are 19 games into a season and still have zero forward structure or idea going forward and that is a indictment on the club. It’s all well and good for our mids to win around the stoppages and get plenty of the ball but the constant bombing into 50 and blindly hacking it forward is just atrocious football. Even when we do rarely choose the right option our skills let us down badly. I’m constantly amazed that our defenders can pin point a target 50m away yet our mids and forwards can’t hit a target 20m away who is clear. I’m not so sure about beating South, we spent a lot of petrol today and the older lads will be a tad soreDouglas Mawson wrote:Jim05 wrote:Woeful performance

Absolutely clueless forward entries, hopefully Rawlings tears the paint off the walls
I know you are our "yardstick" Jim and Lord knows there are far too many happy clappers in the Nwd story year on year - but I really think this one was a different finals game for us:
1. Cottonball is genuinely gone (except when Vardenega brings back echoes of it),
2. The contested ball is so much more akin to what's final-necessary; and
3. There is a willingness to try to hit up a tall up front.
The forward entries are wanting for a lack of skill not endeavour and the kids are coming on so much quicker under Twig.
We'll beat South.
We'll go again against the Eagles probably and quite frankly - bring it! The longer this year goes on the better.

NA website has Tom at 27. Too young to retire? Does the SANFL hold enough value any more to enable players to continue ?

It's been an ongoing trend/issue, blokes "retiring" at 26-28 to go and play at a lower level.
Heard somebody from the SANFL on SEN last week (Duldig I think) mention about milestone payments when players reach 50/100/150 games etc possibly being introduced to increase retention. Nice idea but not sure it'll make too much difference when the bucks offered up at country level are compared. But need to try something.

Rumours are SANFL and Glenelg wanted the 2nd Semi to be played Friday night to allow club support to the 18s GF, Eagles couldn't quite see the bigger picture and this is the result....

So would you play the minor premiers off a 5 day break?

By quoting the reserves schedule for this Saturday I thought it might have been obvious I was talking about the reserves 2nd Semi, my mistake, I should've known better as a former Aldinga Beach resident I forgot to apply the Colonnades factor to my post.
