Somebody like Tom Lynch.
Oh that’s right Ross didn’t want him.
and when they do, Bruce gives it away. Bad decision Josh. We are not doing the basics.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Disgraceful game but at least I see why we drafted Long finally. He looks like a classy pick up.

Not sure we’ll have the same coach by round 23.

So many problems.
Armitage is miles off it.
Newnes, Billing’s and Ross have slipped a long way from last year.
Forward line is disfunctional.
Going to be a very long year.

Someone needs to grab this club by the scruff of the neck and drag it into a successful era. Someone who takes no s*** and with the attitude thst failure is not an option.

Bring in Roo and his mates, not necessarily to coach, but to get the club on the right track.

Could it have been worse?
Probably.

No.

Agree.

I’d rather finish 17th-18th this year (which I think we will) than 10th-11th again, as it will force a change to happen rather than just carrying on with mediocrity year after year.

Just left. Yes we lost but there are positives. Coffield was great. Marshall play from now on. Long was competitive ifngteen. Backs were good considering on slaught.
Once we gat another outside mid and some forward target we will be good

Same story. Now can’t wait to hear Richo pull out the same old cliches.
We are so far off it. No way we will land a player at end of the year now.
Rory Sloane would be thinking there is no way he wants to play with that rabble.

Went pretty much as expected though. At least some of the young guys went well...disappointed White didn't seem to do much, but more disappointed some of the regulars did stuff all too.

Armitage is an absolute liability
Should have been traded last year

Slow
Poor disposal
Bad decision making
Terrible leader

Get rid of the useless idiot
