What about applied pressure by Adelaide amd we didn't handle it well
Perhaps we can beat lesser sides but therer has to be doubts to maintain full game pressure at present

[Zlatorog]

Is Roos going to ask his star players for money back as a punishment for their sloppy work? It might help you know.

[ScottH]

Interesting. 2 losses, both to teams who hit targets consistently, and under pressure, both out ran us, and the our fwds failed to deliver.

He's right. If we'd kicked straight we'd have won. It wasn't 50/50 chances we were missing.

It was well-applied by Adelaide, and it was consistently applied all night. As pressure was well-applied and consistently applied by us (except to Andrew McLeod). You can't really say that 'we didn't handle it' when we had 19 scoring shots (the vast bulk of which were real quality chances, not rushed points or speculative bombs-- plus a couple of out-on-the-fulls that were very kickable goals) and gave up 16. No doubt where the game was won and lost.

Well Longmire should spend more time with the forwards, than trying to progress his own coaching career.

An idiotic post. There's a new forwards coach who's responsible now. When it comes to kicking goals though why do you need a coach. A few extra hours slotting goals at training is what's required.

I agree with snake.

Why does tiger Woods need a coach?
Why does Roger Federer need a coach?

To point out where things can be improved and to keep stop things from "coming out of the groove".

Practice Does help, but if you have fallen into a bad habit, you may not necessarily pick up that yourself.
No matter what sport it is easier for other trained eyes to point out your faults, than it is for you to do it yourself.

Gotta say it was nice seeing shots of Roos pulling his hair out and getting mad in the coaches box , he has finally cracked like the rest of us.

Yeah, seeing Roos come up on the screen with his head in his hands and a look of despair on his face caused me to hold my leg back and not kick in the screen of my television.
