Round 5 - Live Scores and waffle

[Wedgie]

Westies now 3.5
Centrals 1.5

Goalfest.

West should run away with this, they're bad, but Central look awful.

And on cue Central kicks 2 quick goals.

[sjt]

Looks like finally were not playing a loose man in defence so there's actually some forward line space.

[Wedgie]

I reckon Centrals actually played okay in the first quarter, ran the ball well and finally some marks up forward. Unfortunately couldn't convert (but nor could West).

The disposal skills were as bad as I'd ever seen, the team that went forward was the team that kicked it the furthest before a turnover.

21:34 gone at Noarlunga Downs

Stevens nearly costs Centrals a second goal this quarter

[Wedgie]

South with a handy point.
13 points up, almost 25 mins gone.

Willets couldn't make the distance from 40m...

You should have seen our skills last week, this is an improvement.

Surely not??? The skill level thus far has been shocking. West going Forward at the start of this term have been better

Panthers win!!!

How many times does Fielke need to out mark Habel before he makes a move FFS!!!

I don't know why we are persisting with Habel in the backline. It happened last week too. He is not a backman!! Swap him and Edmead.

Gilbee didn't play reserves and isn't at the game.

[sjt]

O'Brien and edmead on 7 disposals not good enough. Unfortunately with lack of depth we need to be at full strength to have any hope. We need barmby, goodrem and retzlaffe.

In all seriousness though this team needs a total rebuild.

Out of todays side the only blokes who i believe could in the future be part of a Centrals finals side are.

Schiller x2
Hanna
Jansen
Hoskin
Potter
McLean
Milera
O'Brien
Stephenson
Olsson / Mabon (ruckmen generally do take longer so i wouldnt write them off just yet.

Lairdy- I have backed him in the whole way but boy he is having some shockers lately, Starting to question whether him and our recruiting staff etc etc are the right people.

Thomas- his disposal these days is average at best, personally i would like to see him used as a permanent small forward/defensive forward

Jenner- tries hard but due to lack of speed i think the game has past him by, especially with these 'sling shot' tactics, tried to use him as a lose in defence but his lack of pace means he doesnt make enough contests and his not an arial threat which is almost the most crucial aspect of the lose man

Habel- he is not a bloody defender, could hold a role in the side as a small forward/pinch hit in the midfield but how many years have we been saying his nearly there

Collier- rarely has an impact on the game other than the occasional big hit. 99.9% of the time tries to do to much with the ball.

Milne/Stevens- try hard but skills are ordinary, lack any serious pace and are terrible overhead

Edmead- has pace (that is it) plus his a arrogant knob (still remember him telling the Gowans at training once how he finds the game easy because of how quick he is) The Gowans twins response was very interesting and not appropiate for this forum.

Kemp- yet to see him actually get to a contest in front or actually make a lead

Prior- tries hard but is far to undersized for the role he is playing, should only be used where there is a sufficient match up

[sjt]

Hard to recruit, when we can't get recruits jobs and stay within the salary cap. Also we've lost too many quality players over the last three years.
Also a wingman on baller that doesn't get the ball, kick goals, or kick 40 metres (Obrien) wouldn't make a premiership side (in my view).

All clubs have the same problem getting players jobs



Nice to get a win over the dogs.

Willets couldn't make the distance from 40m...

That cannot be true. Willets is a dedicated forward line player. Mark Williams said so...
