There were a hell of a lot players worse than Fyfe
Ehh.
Could not give a s**t about the result, but to not even see a response to our 1st half in the 2nd at all in regards to intent is just disappointing.
Definitely a game that highlighted our flaws and the real passengers in the side, also exposed and showed how ******* bad our backline is. The amount of players being rotated back there until something worked showed how dysfunctional it is - and no it wasn't because of the amount of workrate that was happening so we needed to put less tired people down there.
That backline needs to be revamped ASAP. Get Sutcliffe and Ibbotson out of that team now. Ibbotson is just not in form anymore and Sutcliffe who has never won a 1v1, makes us lose 1v2s and has never stuck a tackle. Why is he in the backline? Because of his brilliant rebound or is he just there to make up numbers.
Lets get at least 5 games into this please:
Hughes Haming Spurr
Weller Johnson Collins
Ryan
Pearce has done his job coming in to relive gametime minutes off of someone young, time to take him back out. Also lets be realistic - Darcy won't really be an upgrade on Griffin but Griffin isn't going to be at the club in 2 years time is he so pump experience into him now thanks.
Weller, Blakely and Tucker were all fantastic tonight - probably the best game I have seen Tucker play for us. Crozier, Hughes, Fyfe and Hamling were solid for what it was worth.
Review that game on Monday and make sure you don't embarrass yourself again boys. This game will be more of a wake up call to everyone than an initial spark to more disaster.

Last week I was crucified for suggesting our percentage accurately represented how good we are. We have been belted by teams vying for top 4 spots. This is not an anomaly like others have suggested.
We must confront the horrible truth: We have turned into flat-track bullies like the Eagles.

We can still win in Melbourne though
Is there any point? We are a long way off where we need to be. There are some experienced players that don't deserve to be getting a regular game any more. But we can't bring in too many young players all at the same time or we'd be accused of tanking...
There are also a lot of players with half his ability. He is supposed to be a leader.
We haven't bullied anyone, we have just fallen over the line.

Yeah I reckon. Should be a good reality check.
Nah sorry mate our % still reflects nothing when the 2 beatings in Adelaide out of 10 games played are literally the only reason why it's s**t. So you will continue to be crucified until you're conditioned into actual reality.
Absolutely spot on. Our lack of rebound out of defense is killing us. Our mids failed tonight, but we actually have a good midfield and reasonable forward line.

Its a leadership team...Walters, Mundy and Spurr all pretty poor
Not often I disagree with you mate. Young teams get exposed from time to time, but wins away against demons and tigers were big. Many teams get embarrassed in Adelaide.
I was expecting to get thumped, although not by that much. But I think it's probably a good thing in the long run.
I thought most of youngsters weren't bad. Probably Weller's best game so far, and easily Tucker's best this year. Blakely was reasonable given he had little support inside. Thought Hughes fumbled a bit early but liked his composure under pressure and when he kicks long we rarely seem to lose possession (I don't know what he does differently but when Spurr, Ibbo etc kick long it just rebounds back every time and super fast). Can't question Fyfe's effort but if his body is 100% he's not quite in the right head space yet.
Mundy, Neale, the Hills, Walters and MJ all had little to no impact. No team is going to be competitive with that many A graders down in a game.
Will force some changes and Luke Ryan has to come in. Double win is it gives us more skill in the back line and allows us to release Weller to the midfield more often. I'd also upgrade Nyhuis now and give him a shot at it. Wouldn't be against Collins in the mix either.

Lol. Tonight sucked a lot. That said, we'll scrub the s**t off and go again. That's what rebuilding sides do. If tonight hurt, get over it, it's not about you.
