poor disposal

[barry]

How many can one football club carry?
Certainly not 9
- Buchannan
- MOL (over 35m)
- Fosdike
- Spriggs
- Jude Bolton (although improving)
- Matthews
- LRT
- Bevan
- Kennelly (at kick ins)

Once most other sides get above 5, they start trading them off. We keep 'em.

This has bugged for a long time. We have the poorest disposal of any club. Watch any other team play and they have at least 3 players with beatiful disposals who can kick a beautifuly weighed kicked to a leading player.

What do the clowns in red and white do kick it too hard over the head of a leading player.

MASSIVE GARAGE SALE at the end of the year.

I think naturally he is OK - he missed a bread and butter goal tonight, just seems incapable of making a good - calm decision

He is not up to it. Too slow and rotten disposal. No redeeming features and continues week in week out doing the same stupid things. can't kick and when he does he has no penetration.

But we drop one of the few who can kick, Dempster.

I went to the game and I think you see it more clearly live that we miss WAY TOO MANY targets. Even short hand balls don't hit players on the chest or to their hands. They go too high or more often to the ground.

Thats what frustrates me the most. If we were the best handballing team in the comp then I can see the justification for how we play. We can not kick or handball. At least with a long kick the ball goes further towards the goals - it gives the forwards a chance - and puts a bit of pressure on the opposition backs.

our skills are very ordinary for AFL level, compared to other sides we are ****

I hope there are no players showing up for Lou's hanball on the Sunday footy show...the results would be embarrassing!!

Like most garage sales, nothing over $2. We will not trade our way to decent side - no one wants our discards. And frankly, what player in their right mind would want to come to Sydney atm?

Spot on. How many handpassess hit he ground before they got near a player, and we handball to players in a worse position all the time. It is a trait that seems to be getting worse. And we don't make space anywhere on the ground and when they kick to a leading player they are usually closely manned because we take a week to spot them up.

The trouble with a long kick to the forward line is there is arely anyone from our side there.

Or they often fumble the ball when they receive it on a handpass running, doing this juggle to try to hold it, which they repeatedly lost into the surer hands of a St Kilda player last night.

Schneider breaks clear just on the back of the centre square, runs his distance, doesn't bother to spot up a player, takes a bounce, whoops, bounces back over his head, Saints gather - goal. Player Schneider shakes head. Must have been the hard ground, better luck next time mate. Team mate taps him on the bum. Good work son.
