[/quote]A team-high 8 score involvements. He's still averaging 25 disposals a game this season, second-only to Crisp. He's not the player he was but he's still in our top 5, however you cut it, week in and week out.Magpietothemax wrote:I agree, I thought Sidey was OK today.

I thought Sidey did a heap today, yes he’s slowed down a heap, but he was far from the worst and I had him pegged for 5.

Cats were not complacent, they would have loved to have belted us for their percentage. The ageiing Cats smashed the Tigers by 11 goals i will take a ten point loss against this power house forward line anyday,, and our kids were great give them some credit, that might be an idea.
Yes, of course. No one in our team, defence included, is immune from the Bux mantra of keeping possession at all costs.RudeBoy wrote:Many people keep raving about how good our defence has been all year, but to my eye, it's their poor movement of the ball from defence which has made it near impossible for our forwards to have much chance at all of competing one on one with their opponents. Chris Mayne is our worst offender, but the others aren't much better. Only Quaynor has the guts to take the game on and attack from defence.

What??? Ok, so now we have a new formula. No longer nutted at clearances.

Well, I'm not making up what Buckley said happened (been scarred by frisbees etc)
So do you want Bianco to learn the game from a 300 game superstar past his peak or Biancos fellow team mates like Poulter, MacRae or Rantall ?masoncox wrote:He can't bend over to pick up the ball.Magpietothemax wrote:I disagree with all those who are already laying off Pendles to pasture.

He fumbles now when not so long ago he never did.
He has lost a yard of pace and his reaction time is slightly less than before.
Father time is cruel.
You lose 1% of your talent and the gods get angry with you.
It is time for him to out with dignity.
Or can he play backflank?????
I don't know
I knew it was the Frisbees fault, even when we were talking about poor list management, shocking corporate governance and a coach who would not last 3 seasons in the Riverina Football league, I knew it was the Frisbees!Magpietothemax wrote:What???

That Cats were farting around most of the game and only upped the pace to ice the game. Scott wouldn't have been happy with their complacent error ridden performance. That said, they were undermanned too with most of their A-grade midfield out.They made us look good when they took their foot off the pedal towards the end. Our performance was characterized by poor skills, poor decision making and a game plan that blind freddy could counter. Our kids are struggling to do well under an incompetent coach and his even more incompetent assistants. I see them learning lots of bad habits which a new coach (and may be he come sooner rather than later) will have to undo if he can.Piesnchess wrote:Monco Matt wrote:I won't be fooled by that last 5 minute rally to turn a comatose 5 goal loss into an honourable 2 goal loss.

We have coaches to tell him what to do.Pies2016 wrote:So do you want Bianco to learn the game from a 300 game superstar past his peak or Biancos fellow team mates like Poulter, MacRae or Rantall ?masoncox wrote:He can't bend over to pick up the ball.Magpietothemax wrote:I disagree with all those who are already laying off Pendles to pasture.

The next two years are all about getting the most out of our young talent and part of that is on the job training from the best. That means a lot more right now than retiring a bloke who now gets caught with the ball occasionally.
What?? You think our current coaching regime can be trusted to tell him what to do??masoncox wrote: We have coaches to tell him what to do.
I never thought Pendles was a great online leader.
Great player not a great leader.
I don't want Pendles to leave as a broken down hack.
He needs to go out with great dignity.
