Jon Ralph calling for Fyfe's head already the campaigner

Time to forget about the whatever the game plan was. It clearly does not work with so many inexperienced players, nobody knows WTF they are supposed to be doing. For the rest of the year just ditch it, come up with something really simple and just let them play and enjoy themselves. Stop thinking that multiple thrashings each week is going to help their development. Game plan stuff can wait till next pre-season. Just focus on skills at training.

His head makes me so angry. Flog of the highest order.

To be fair he should go. Elbowed the guy in the head

Tackling and man on man accountable footy. Let’s go.

I would agree with you, however they didn’t ping Tom Mitchell when he elbowed Goldstein in the head, off the ball. I’ll be pissed off if they go after Fyfe purely because of the double standards.

You can do that now BUDDY.

 

[freo_leo29]

Fyfe wont go for that, it was negligible impact

Greenwood got straight up

 

[estibador]

There are losses that you grow from, and losses that painfully indicate that you have serious problems within. This was the latter.

Probably more a 'team just lost 1000 games of experience' loss.

Wasn't really unexpected surely?

Are you actually content with the constant going backwards and sideways? Were you satisfied with the effort? Happy with a high scoring 22 points in a half of footy? The congestion? Slow ball movement?

I don't care about losing, I care about the method and the excitement of Footy. I wish Ross cared about the same.

Agreed, pretty soft contact but have to remember it is the VFL we are talking about.

It amazes me how this board cracks it at Cox, yet defends McCarthy. At least Cox is capable of taking marks and providing an option.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Absolutely abysmal performance.. We've got nothing.
I'm starting to think that Ross may have lost the players. It's apparent to most supporters that he's a one trick pony and the players know it too..

Ross is too fat to perform tricks any more. He's a walking glue factory.

So you don’t mind losing as long as we play skillful, high scoring, free flowing and tough football.

Of course if they were capable of that sort of play they wouldn’t get spanked.

I think we need to keep playing the kids, accept that some of it will be ugly / unwatchable, and buckle up for a shot at pick 1,2 or 3.

Gees you bought the propaganda.

Interesting time to lose 1000 games of experience. It would have been better for someone like Giro to have his first game at home and not against a mature midfield at the 'G.

But gees that's OK. We were always going to get smashed hey? Can't have a go at the youngsters can you? Nothing to see here. Ross is good. Ross is great.

I'm a Cox convert. I thought he showed a fair bit today.

Exactly. Just play a simple fast brand akin to what we did against Bulldogs, west coast at times. It's too complex right now, youth coming through trying to do everything right. This possession, slowing the game down non-sense isn't the way to go.

 

[believe_it]

Don't worry we are only 3 or 4 seasons behind St Kilda in our development

I'm neither here nor there on Ross, but people need to decide what they want and then be realistic about what that entails.

We play the older players, they complain. We play the younger players, they complain. They say they don't care about results as long as we play the youth, then complain about the results when we play the youth. People complained when we were top of the ladder because we weren't playing youth, now we're playing youth they complain we aren't winning anymore. This board is one big negative cesspit the last few years, it really does suck all the fun out of footy.

That's my melt. I think I might take a spell again for a while.

Where are the people melting about playing youth? One negative on the board is people that pretend they know it all complaining about other people being negative.

Hints of 2010-2012 with the 'eat your own' attitude around here. Some freo supporters are made of weak stuff we've been through worse

The weak are the ones believing the smoke and mirrors. If Ross holds the course and doesn't flip back to MJ, Ballas etc he'll start to be on the right track.

We have to stick with young guys that played today or similar but it's taken too long to get to this point.

Will Ross hold his nerve or will he go back to old ways when we are back at home and have more chance of winning?

Odd to come to the Melt thread and complain about negativity though.
