For me, the problem is what we're being told by the club is at odds with what we are seeing.

I've got no issue in going backwards to go forwards. But the platitudes week on week are cop outs and not a true indication of where we're at.

If Ross came out and said "We are building a premiership team and that means we are focusing on development in 2024", that would at least be refreshing and reassuring.

But no, we are trying to be seen to win every game we're in. And with the number of poor losses this year it just reeks of incompetence.

Just come out and say we aren't competitive because we're trying to build and play a gameplan in excess of our current skill level.

If the efforts so far this year is genuinely the best that Ross and his team have - throw in the towel now.

......we just are not as good as people believe and again it showed last night. Blaming the coach is the easy thing to do and look how that has worked over 150 years . Clubs Like Geelong and Richmond stuck fat in recent years and now have silverware. We currently lack confidence also which is not a good combination.
Your thread title implies there shouldn't be blame directed in only one area...and yet you suggest that the players 'are not as good as people believe'

Isn't that pointing the finger in one direction and absolving the coach?

You're contradicting yourself again with your last sentence.

I can handle losses. I just can't handle coaches not taking ownership and not sharing in accountability and responsibility for our losses

Ruby Jo...does it kind of suggest this name is associated with a woman?

I know this is the age of diversity, equity and inclusion so I suppose a woman can be a cockhead if we are being fair, out of curiosity through what is the feminine way to express cockhead?

Every time I see a Ruby Jo post - it’s not the content of the post, but the nomenclature ‘Ruby Jo’, that my mind floats back to the past and thinks of Jack Ruby - he who shot Lee Harvey Oswald, who shot President Kennedy!
Nothing at all to do with a nuffnuff cocckhead as the scallop so eloquently posts.

Now me mentioning Jack Ruby/ Lee Harvey Oswald will bring out all the conspiracy theorists from the General Forum onto this thread - hello HardSaint & markp 😉😉

Sorry Vortex, could not add anything meaningful to your query. Carry on ole bean 😘

To answer your question though, maybe stupid bitch could be used. I suspect that's not socially acceptable so maybe 'silly twat' is better. It's probably gender neutral as well

So have I got you right, are you claiming a woman can't sound like a moron bogan bloke?

If that's what you're implying Scollo I'd say your WOKE credibility will take a serious hit.

Are there end of year awards for dumbest post? I would normally laugh at the stupidity and move on, but reading this has actually made me stupider such that I feel compelled to respond.

The only word they imply shouldn't be used is bitch (which is about right, in my experience anyone referring to a woman with a hard 'bitch' has about a 90% chance of being a bad bloke), and you try to use the answer to your question about a feminine version of cockhead as some kind of gotcha?

This post is going to be swimming around my brain trying to work out how you thought it was in any way logical. I think I need to go for a walk to try to process it before the game starts or I will be too distracted.

If you drill down into the gaps between the words you'll realise you won't learn this type of stuff at university.

Right, so you are saying there is information is the spaces between words? I don't think there is anything important happening in the next 30 mins so teach me how to see them. Hopefully it doesn't require chemical assistance or the application of brain worms.

It actually would be very helpful...mushies, MDMA or weed...

I'd go MDMA this afternoon just to get some love into our hearts to cope

Is Ruby Jo your partner?

Total respect if she is, she's got some serious balls about her and I constantly admire her provocative posting style, mate I don't think she needs you defending her though.
