  • How do we get Teddy, Keary, Rads, JWH, Critchton and friends to fire?

    Not saying these guys should be sacked but seeing JWH and Crichton on the bench says something!!! People who are talented and need to be performing simply aren't firing.

    Aside from the old 'sack eeeem' or 'send em to the Bears for some park foodeee', what's needed to make these guys fire?

    Frankly, it's embarrassing seeing 80 minutes of footy where we're defending the line the whole time, have no flair in attack and cough the ball up every time the refs try giving us a leg-up.

    I'd be happy if Robbo's old 'I want them to play footy, not go into their shells' was resulting in us playing some ambitious, adventurous, attacking footy. However, we're not even doing that! Around about the 70 minute mark against Souffs I saw 1 or 2 enterprising runs but other than that, it was like we were trying to minimise our losses rather than win the game.

    What's happened to our big guns? How do we get better from here?!? If you're on $1m a season (or close) to play awesome footy and you're not playing awesome footy then you're like my mirror guy who doesn't actually make mirrors (we've been waiting 3 months for a laser-cut mirror and they still can't give us a solid progress update). Somebody needs to call these guys up and pester them until they take their finger out and play some proper footy!

    where was the doom saying after the win v manly?
    if we play well this weekend does that mean we're once again favourites to win the comp?
    no doubt we've got to win some games sooner rather than later but it's a long season.

      If we are still worried about these guys in August then we are in trouble.

          It’s early in the season. The cream will rise and we will be fine. It’s a long season and the wins will come! Hopefully starting this week!

            Your mirror guy’s on $1m a year? I’m changing careers.

              No, but they are paid to make mirrors and they're not doing it.

              Meh TBH they could be on $1m a year. They supply glass/mirrors to most of Canberra and are very busy. No idea what they bag through that kinda business.

                    Mirror makers not making mirrors?

                    This will only reflect poorly on them.

                      If they don’t want the work, I could really see myself doing it.

                            Unfortunately because of the salary cap it can't be done but 20k a win and a gorilla a loss would be an incentive for all players.

                              For the record, Jazz started on the bench every game until Rnd 9 last year. It’s not a new thing, and it means nothing. He usually builds into the season, I’m sure he’ll do the same this year and be making huge contributions by the last third of the season if not before.
