The current record of 6 wins and 7 losses seems rather flattering, considering the wins we’ve had were against pretty mediocre teams. None of those wins, of course, were against top 8 teams.
The first eight or so games of the seasons, I was of the belief this team had improved in many areas from last year, but the last 3 or so games we have looked no different to the cellar dweller team of last year. Players like Blake Acres simply aren’t progressing. Jack Newnes has gone back to being the epitome of a vanilla AFL player. Sure, David Amitage has been a tireless servant for our club, but his career is essentially done and dusted. When the likes of him are getting a game ahead of our youngsters playing Sandy who are meant to vying for a spot in the team, what does this say for our future?
And then there’s the team playing this same brand of kick/handball-in-hope and then bomb it inside 50 metres brand of cumbersome footy. This style of play is a complete bust. Only Richardson can be held accountable for it. Here’s an alarming stat for you: of all the 13 games we’ve played, we still haven’t registered 100+ points in a single game.
With the next two games being against Richmond and then Geelong, Richo’s neck is squarely on the line, but given our current list of players, a new coach can only do so much. We just seem to be cemented in AFL limbo
