On a positive note, you can guarantee we'll play better in the second half.
Im not sure we could get any worse.

Skipworth is offering absolutely nothing.

Welsh is the one. Hopeless. He has stuck even one tackle today? Terrible disposal.
half our teams overrated to the maximum.
Mcphee - butttttter fingers
Welsh.. - Should only be on the list to play against Carltank
Hooker (mabye im just overrating him) - to soft.
Reimers - Hes half the hype to much. boots is overrated.
...................... congrats to slats on his performance, solid display.
Ok, just watched the game up in Burma on the internet and not real happy with the result. If we cannot beat the Eagles and Richmond then we really do not deserve to make the finals.
Anyway, the positives I noticed, probably only really one in Neagle taking a couple of grabs. Still doesnt read the play greatly but give him a chance one on one and he maybe a player.
The negatives, where do I start I suppose but the most obvious one is our lack of run the last two weeks. We havent used the corridor at all and have gone back to short kicking along the wings, which we are not skillful enough to perform. Without the run we are a very ordinary team.
I hate to see it but it does look like the game has gone passed Lucas. As good as he has been the yard of pace he has lost has been extremely detrimental to his game as he was/is a predominantly lead up player and the lack of speed allows quicker defenders to close and effect a spoil. As it now looks like finals are out of the equation and Gumbleton is down he probably deserves to play out the year in recognition of his service but we really do need to find another lead up option.
On this point it seems we have very little movement in the forward line. Davey is a big loss here but then again he and Monfries cannot be expected to be lead up forwards week in week out. We need a bigger option to do this. McPhee is promising when he moves into this role as is Ryder but I wonder if it is worth trying Fletcher up there for the next few weeks, as good as he is down back.
Regarding speed I think we need Jetta back in to give us a real spark. He is the type of player who will not get a real lot of the ball playing either VFL or AFL so I would give him the next 4 weeks to show that he has learnt the defensive lessons he has learnt playing in the back pocket. Quinn could also be an option for just straight out speed.
The other major observation I saw today was that our players constantly were drawn to the ball in congested situations with no players "ringing" the area. Time and again when the Eagles won a stoppage they had numerous free players to receive an easy handball and create forward momentum.
Very frustrated but hopefully we can regroup and beat Brisbane to keep our season alive.
Cheers.
Today's result, while not totally unexpected given our usual poor form at Subiaco and especially missing a couple of key players, has to be the last straw. We've now put up two insipid efforts in a row against opposition sitting well below us on the ladder. Questions really need to be asked of this group now and why there has been a sudden collapse in the last few weeks.
Is it injuries?
Is it players getting a game on our list that are currently a liability and should not be playing for one reason or another?
Is it complacency? Younger players with big heads after a nice start to the season?
Is it young players dropping off and young legs getting weary as a long year is drawing to a close?
Is it all of the above?
We need some answers off Knights and the coaching staff. The last two weeks have been nothing short of unacceptable and it's fair to say a lot of the problems have arisen from the selection table. Finals looks very unrealistic now and our focus should now turn to fine-tuning our current list for a 2010 that doesn't include the now annual second half of the year fade out.
Let's hope we can at least put on some sort of game against the Lions next week.

Positives - Neagle. I know we have said it before but ffs just keep playing him at ff. He presented well & was our best forward.
Negatives - Poor decision making & poor skills! Untill this improves we wont win anymore than 8 games a season.

The 4th one. Big season and we've fallen away. Young players have gotten fairly tired and has made it harder to run out games as seen with our 4th quarters in the last couple of weeks.

Positives - Dyson, deserves a B&F just for having a go when no one else gives a shit. I also liked Neagle today. Gotta get more games int him.
Negatives - Didn't play smart footy, definitely didn't play as a team. The skills were disgraceful.
Hopefully we can play some decent footy against the Lions next week and make this year better than 2008.

For a start even thinking of playing Fletcher in the forward line is ludacris!
But I completely understand about being drawn to the ball, whilst I was at the game and close to nearly every stoppage Eagles would get the ball and just stream forward with 2 free nearby opponents and all I could was sit back and cringe.
Also every time we took a mark just outside our forward 50 it seemed like we would wait until every player on the field was in the 50 until we kicked, not once did we get a mark from that situation.
Our best period of the day was probably the middle of the 4th quarter where there was real urgency to our game but even then we played better but poor kicking into our 50 ruined our hard work.:confused:

I along with every Bomber supporter is pissed off about today's lost and the players should be ashamed with the performance they put in:
Welsh: probably the worst performance I have seen from him in along time, couldn't hit a target, put teammates under pressure and all round shocker today and needs some more time in bendigo
Skipworth: cant really be in the team as he doesn't offer enough, would rather had Jetta in today for added flair in the forward line and the west being a big ground woulf of suited him
Lucas: has to get dropped and as much as i love him if a forward needs to be moved back theres a problem, he did okay defending but looks like this will be his last season unfortunately
Lovett: he did get a corky early but he looked to be moving fine, needed to lift in the last half and provide more run
Neagle: poor first half but did well in the 3rd, tries his guts out and still has alot to offer, i think he should stay in the team
Dyson: was happy with his game continued to run and looked as if he wanted to play finals football, continues to grow and improve
Dempsey: a bad game for dempsey I thought subi would have suited him alot as he could run but he did look like his normal self, we know hes a good player and will learn from this
McPhee: tried hard all day, looked good in forward line but drops easy marks he can take a great one and drop the real easy ones
Watson: probably the best player for the Bombers, good tackling and never gave up, he should be essendons next captain in my opinion
Monfries: had a good game led hard took some great marks, stiff with the umpires this game many times he deserved free kicks but missed out maybe they are taking the faking into consideration
Fletcher: would probably of been our second best player for the day, he did well on rebound and like always hits target, tried hard for the club because we know he has the passion
Reimers: a quite day he looked as if he was going to be the match winner for us but wasnt to be, he is getting better with more games into him but need to run harder and defend more
Prismall: was a little off today with his disposal noticed a few times that he sold his teamates into trouble, needs to handball longer to open up the play more
Stanton: a great first half from Stanton when no one else was playing well but slowed down in the second half and hardly noticed him when the game was there to be won
Ryder: I thought he let natanui get the better of him in this game, knights should of coached that matchup better because ryder really needed to be forward alot more as we know natanui cant defend
Hurley: was solid without doing anything spectacular, he looks great and im confident he will be one of the best defenders in the league soon, just love his closing speed and his football smarts
Hocking: I like hocking but a few times he does stupid things like handball to a player in a worse of position, he no doubt tried his absolute heart out and was one of few to do so, he is in our best 22 i believe
Pears: considering the amount of inside 50s he played well, he has great composure when he is attacking and solid in defence, just needs to make sure he get defensive side of his opponet when there a ground ball
Lonergan: worked hard but didnt have enough impact on the game, he lively up forward but needs to take those grabs, worked hard in and under
Lovett-Murray: not a great game from lovett-murray, needed to lift in that last period and help attack, needs to play up forward
Hooker: an okay game from hooker just needs to be more wary of his opponet and not let them get to free, many time lynch was on a wing by himself, though not entirely hookers fault
Slattery: didnt follow up last weeks effort and didnt have much impact on the game, really should of tagged lecras and followed him through the forward line and midfield
all in all a very poor game from the Bombers, doesnt look like we will make finals now but there is still hope for us, if we beat brisbane, hawks, fremantle and maybe saints to scrape through but certainly makes it hard from losing today

I posted this last week that our game plan has changed significantly in the past month or so. The chain of handballs out of defence and creating a run through the middle of the ground has been shelved for a Malthouse style of switch play and chip pass it up the boundary till we hit half forward. All fine and well if we had a forward line that could kick goals and had strengths in all areas but we are still using pinch hitting forwards as focal points. Lonergan is still being used as a lead up forward as well as Monfries and this week Skipworth. 3 players that are all much the same when it comes to scoring goals. If Dempsey's run gets shut down it leaves Slattery as the only other small defender to build an attack on as our defence is loaded up with Pears, Fletcher, Hurley and McPhee. We have lost all team balance for the sake of trying to cram the best 22 players available into 22 spots rather than pick a side that can work together.

Our first half of the season was purely the younger palyers getting us over the line...
In the second half of the season, players like Houli, Zaharakis, Neagle, Jetta etc have been in the reserves playing good football, and we've added in Skipworth, Lucas, Welsh, McVeigh, Prismall...
Team haven't been the same since.

At the start of the season we had a pace advantage over everyone. Through injuries and extremely poor selection decisions we are now slow. We would have been significantly better with Houli, Jetta and Daniher were playing.
Jeez we look poor compared with earlier in the year. All the run, dash and dare is gone from the way we're playing.
For mine it's a combination of the season catching up with some of the young'uns, lack of miles in the legs of others and actual composition of the side. We've been slowly losing leg speed form the side compared with earlier in the year. Winderlich, Davey, Zaharakis, Davey, Houli, Jetta etc who were featuring earlier in the season have been replaced over the last few weeks by the likes of McVeigh, Welsh, Skipworth to name a few. Now this isn't a crack at them personally, just that we've got the balance wrong and gone too far the other way for how we want to play.
It's also no co-incidence we've looked worse forward (not that w've looked great at any stage this year really) since Lucas came back into the side. We've been playing with two full-forwards (Lloyd/Lucas and today Lucas/Neagle) and no tall target at CHF. Monfries does OK at times but isn't going to take pack marks. lloydy was playing further out attempting to do that but Lucas can't take a contested mark at FF, whereas Neagle did, but there was no consistent target at HF.
Personally I'm disappointed McPhee hasn't been tried at CHF for prolonged periods (leave Hurley down back, that's where he will be for 10 years), or even Hooker when he's not rucking. Not having seen Bendigo for weeks, I assume Daniher is not playing well enough to be considered, but surely he'd be a reasonable option for the leading/tall CHF in the last month as he's mobile enough. Either he or Hooker, who needs to offer something or he'll be out as he's not doing enough around the ground, although against Clark/Brennan next week he'll probably stay as he offers more mobility.
In the second half of the season, players like Houli, Zaharakis, Neagle, Jetta etc have been in the reserves playing good football, and we've added in Skipworth, Lucas, Welsh, McVeigh, Prismall...
Team haven't been the same since.
I think you may of summed up the situation perfectly here.
The younger players provided zip and enthusiasm for us early in the year and got us over the line in quite a number of games.
Welsh, McVeigh, Prismall and to a lesser extent, Lucas all had very limited pre-seasons and are probably showing the wear and tear effects of it right now towards the end of the year. Welsh, McVeigh & Prismall will also be very key players in the next couple of years so I'd expect after an injury free pre-season we may see them back to their best in 2010. Lucas has serious question marks over his short term future and at the moment it's fair to say he will not be on the list next season.
Play the kids in the last five games and whether we win, lose or draw at least give us a massive glimpse at 2010. Time to test out the list and see what they're made of. This includes Houli, Myers, Jetta, Zaharakis & Daniher amongst others.

Neagtives:
McPhee has to go too many brain fades and skill errors
Slattery is a hack
Skipworth is not a crumbing forward
Welsh needs to be tagging someone because his kicking and decision making are not good enough for him to play as an attacking midfielder
Unfortunately Lucas is gone
Prismall needs a decent preseason (He's done well for where he has come from, but he is not very good at the moment)
We are the mentally weakest team in the competition. WEe can't kick effectively into the forward line and nobody seems to want to stand up and take some responsibility on themselves to do something when the game is in the balance
Positives:
There weren't any from this week or last week. We had everything to play for and delivered a pile of steaming horse crap.

I have to say i was at the game today and i dont believe your future lies with old stars like lucas etc. Time you get games into your kids and reap the rewards in two or three years time. There has been a lot of talk about West Coast tanking and the truth is that at times we just suck. But we are playing a lot of kids in key positions and we will eventually reap rewards. You have many good young players and you need to play them. They will not get experience sitting and watching. Again my apologies if this seems like trolling but isnt meant to be. I say if your not going to make the eight do it playing kids.

I think that in Hurley you have a future AA player. He seems to run to the right spots and it is good to see the essendon team rewarding him for his hard effort. I know that this is probably a bad result for you but remember we beat Port the Bulldogs Hawthorn at home and lost to St kilda and also Hathorn by 20 points so it is not easy to win in Perth.

After a couple of pretty disastrous weeks it's easy to say that we are a basket case that's going nowhere. That may or may not be true depending on which way we go.
Most of our positives this year have come from the emergence of some of the youngsters though with so many of our future players running around in the two's and so many blokes who are past their prime still getting a game, it's hard to rationalise that there be any other direction the coaching staff can take.
Houli, Jetta, Zaharakis, Myers, Bellchambers, Daniher all need to have a crack and by the sounds of it, have earnt it.
Time to move on.

I know how you feel bro. Theres a pretty empty feeling around our club right now and I'm not sure what the problem is... is something going on internally? Is it the coach? Is it something else? Or are we just crap? I don't know. I just find it so hard to accept the losses to richmond, north, eagles... after all those great wins we had earlier in the year. I wasn't expecting us to be competing for the flag this year... but ****ing hell... not so long ago we were looking good and finals looked not guaranteed... but positive. Now we are in tatters. You are right though, a lot of positives from the youngsters who desperately need to be out there. Zaharakis for example was great in every game he's played this year. I don't understand why he isn't still out there. There is a bit of dead weight in our club which I hope is addressed. But I remain positive about our season. We can still make it... but we've gotta dig deep.
Patrick Smith wasz right!!one1! Internal unrest! Internal unrest! Skipworth fractured the club! Knights to coach Richmond!
You know there's really only a few things we can do?
Sack the board. Sack Sheedy. Sack Quinn. Oh, and pension off Lloyd. Only then can we go forward.
In my books, the list, list problems, team selection, surprising coaching, needs, development and 'culture' is little different to what it was a month or so ago when we were all on a high after flogging Carlton and I've little reason to criticise the direction in which we're travelling.
Fickle excitement losing track of where we realistically are, all comes out in the face of a disappointing month.
Sad thing is, if we lose a majority of our last few games, which is a very real possibility, we ain't seen nothing yet. Yay for meltdowns.

Clooney's lifestyle is somewhat similar to that of the queen bee - his sole purpose is to reproduce.

Delist about 10 and go for youth.

There is not enough money in the world for me to work with even one of you.

Efron is soft and only plays about 1 good game every 10, McCartney can't kick to save his life and Timberlake is one of those guys who's terrible in a shit team but great in a premiership team... downhill skier if you will.
Clooney, Cruise and Pitt have them covered easily. Even though Cruise has lost a couple of yards of pace (physicall and mentally) as he's gotten older he can still kick a big bag on his day.

Essendon are like the English cricket team. Once Flintoff is out of the side look at them. With Essendon once Lloyd is out of the side...
Lloyd is your last talisman of your bygone era. You haven't adjusted.

But on the other side you lost to us and did anyone of you see the dog crap we put out there against Melbourne.
Judging by that you would give up on your season if you had let us get within twenty points of you.:o
Only kidding. Love to be in your position of playing for finals. I think you can kick start it tonight and get back to that form you had against Carlton. Certainly love to see you take them on first week of finals.
