Weak as p***

[BigMart]

1/2 of embarrassing football

The small Fwds that were defended to the hilt R1 should watch the tape of this game and think about whether their efforts are deserved of their income.

Saad, Milera, Milne, TDL

Possibly the most pathetic efforts I've had to watch

Meek

Commentary on a few others should be scathing also, including 3 veterans... And a FB

[SainterK]

Meek is a good word, at this stage anyway

Soft tackles, waiting for the bounce in stead of going the contest

Wish Scott would let me in to give them a spray

[fingers]

Meek - good word. Pathetic today. Poor efforts. No pressure at all.

[bigred]

Agreed.

[ralphsmith]

Spray of the century right now surely

Surely

[Munga]

I'm OK with the effort, education is lacking....and skills

[8856brother]

I haven't been this embarrassed watching my club for a long time. Lucky it's not on free to air.
Small forwards

Milne - past it. Pity cause he's been a star
Saad - my 7 year old has a better footy brain and also would have kicked that goal
Terry - Heaps of class but not prepared to push himself
TDL -Well. What can I say.

Hope one of them makes me look like a dill in the second half. Not holding my breath.

[Old Mate]

Zero structure and zero intensity, the boys look like they are just out there having a kick.

[ralphsmith]

If we have no structure fine

But no intensity is a disgrace to this club

Disgraceful

[Con Gorozidis]

yep
Our small fwd are great at the easy goals but they dont tackle or lock it in our 50 at all ever.
opposition backs having a picnic down there. once they win the ball they face no resistance at all.
total opposite at the other end. thats not ability. thats just effort and intensity. sh*thouse saints.
We play bruise free footy.

[felix]

Lenny is off the pace a bit .

[spert]

One of the big things that need to be done against Essendon is for forwards to keep the ball in our forward line and stop the Bombers run from half back, we are doing the exact opposite

[citywest]

It is going to be a long 5 years.
We will hit rock bottom by 2015 and be in the bottom 4 for the next 3 years after that. If we re-build correctly we may be back in the finals by 2020 at the earliest.

Fisher, Geary, Roberton aside

Riewoldt, Steven, Armitage just

The other 15 were soft. Gutless in fact!

[SainterK]

Improved last 10 mins

Get to the ground for a change. We aren't good enough. No one is gutless except the pathetic you. Sometimes sides just aren't good enough. Get used to it instead of calling players gutless

[matrix]

and away we go.........

[Griggsy]

I dont know why we went in with a high kick to Saad so many times.

Annoying thing for me was they are picked to pick the ball up off the floor, went through their legs several occasions in that match.

They are never going to win a marking contest so this was definately the wrong forward structure.

bulls*** Plugger, I was at the ground they were soft, lazy and the decision making retarded. Not to mention the feeble excuse for intensity they have offered up all season. I said it in another thread and I'll say it again, they should look at Port Adelaide's game against Adelaide last week and ask themselves do we work that hard? If they're honest with themselves the answer will be no way known.

Let's see if Watters has the balls Lyon had, because Dal is due for a spell at Sandy again and so is Montagna.

GO away collingwood !

[ShanghaiSaint]

and away we go.........

P66 has a good point... it's true we're not near the level of the dopers so why attack our team...

The three young ones were like witches hats , clearly they should not all be in the side at one time !

I was hoping that this year saad and milera would continue to improve but at the moment they look to have gone backwards !

[evertonfc]

Hmmm, I have to say, we aren't good enough.

We lack players with skills. We lack players with pace. We lack quality smalls. Our smalls don't get involved. Our old blokes are honourable, but...slow.

[The Fireman]

haha , was expecting a thread like this but seriously what was the author and many others here expecting? You wanna see weak as ***ss ? wait till the Hawks,cats and Skunks get a hold of us

Get used to reality guys...you will feel so much better and in 5 years times, who knows, you may be able to celebrate something.......maybe.

[perfectionist]

About sums it up. But to be fair, when the selectors choose a team full of flankers, then you are asking for trouble.
