Sidebottom got slaughtered in 1x1 contests all night, got a lot of easy kicks running around the outside but then his disposal was for the most part sub standard. Was the worst game I've seen from him in ages. |
Watched a different game to me obviously, what 1x1 contests?? as you said yourself he got outside...and early that was vital , his dinky kicks were an advantage for once... instead of the rest thumping it long to outnumbered forwards. |

I haven't had a chance to watch the first half yet, but Sidey's second half performance was pretty good: I'd have him in my best six players. Was he really bad in the first half?

| No, as far as I was concerned apart from a standout error he was by far the cleanest and most damaging mid we had in 1 and 2. |

One very iffy hand pass that directly resulted in goal.
Apart from that he was in our 2/3 best players in the first half and his second half was even better. |

I wasnt surprised by the result, especially when Ball went out.
They build their whole game on contested ball and are now adding run and carry.
Ive said on here a few times that Cameron is the bes key forward in the game. Watching him start 5 meters behind Carlisle the week before and out sprint him to take a mark in the goal square when both started outside 50 was a regular occurrence.
There was an interesting article on Bucklys game plan changes, especially the difference to boundary line play versus run an carry including corridor use.
Defensive boundary play won us a GF but only the one in how many years under Mick playing this style ?
The new style seems very similar to what the CATS bring to the table and it has won them how many GF''s ?
With Gold coast and GWS talent being realised in the next few years, id rather have a style that will win games than defend them.
Bare in mind, as someone says our bottom 6 might not be elite yet however our bottom 6 would be luck to have played 50 games between them. |
The teams with the best defense are the one playing in GFs. The Cats have a corridor style of play, but also structure up as one of the best defensively. That also shows in their points against column too!
ATM we leak to many points (and easy goals) and don't seem to score freely either. Worst of both worlds. |
And our defence has been the most unsettled aspect of our team for the last few seasons. Keeffe, Brown & Tooves doing knees. Goldsack missing large chunks of games. Maxwell cruelled by injury in 2012. Reid missing games. Tarrant missing games. Williams shoulder. BJs run with injuries.
Stability breeds consistency. |
Good call.
And familiarity breeds children.

Clearly. Was outmarked in 1x1 contests on at least 3 occasions and lost a number of 1x1 loose ball contests where he had a clear advantage. |

I used to be undecided, but now I'm not so sure.

| I agree Sidey was one of our better players, but Jackass is right he got beaten in several one on one's by bigger opponents. He isn't the type of player that will outbody his opponent. He just needs to find other ways to win those contests. |

Well he is wrong about that being the worst game from Sidebottom he's seen in ages.
And thats all that matters in this discussion. |

You just keep attacking the man instead of the ball. Happy to stand by my opinion. |

My opinion... it's different than yours, doesn't make it wrong. But you just keep running people down if thats what give you your kicks. |
