because he honestly doesnt deserve to be in the team. He has regressed this year
No s*** no one could kick goals in our forward 50 with the way our players are being asked to play.
We never have played leading out at the ball because they are told to get high up the ground and help defend them when we will the ball we have nobody to kick it to and we turn it over.
It happens over and over and Dew has no plan B

Couldn’t agree more with you more. You’d just expect that people that are paid to give a neutral commentary might do a bit better job than this but as you say we haven’t done anything to deserve more

Who else is gonna mark the ******* ball coming out of defence? We dont have any mids who are strong through the air so a KPF has to come up to the ball to mark it. Our players dont work hard enough forward when we get it and they dont have enough composure to slow the game down and find a target. Dew is doing the right things our players are just s**t

It’s actually amazing when you see the down the ground view when we have the ball and everyone is stationary. There’s no choice but to kick it long down the line. We are not too dissimilar to Carlton under Bolton, set plans that are predictable, the players need some freedom to actually play

Very painful to watch. Absolutely no confidence. The only positive for me was Burgess winning his ruck contests.

we dont have the personal to play freely, we dont win the midfield battle and our backline to often get beaten easily. They need to learn structure first

That’s rubbish He’s doing exactly what Bolton did at Carlton he’s over complicating things and killing the players passion and love for the game

Yeah I agree and disagree. We definately need to learn defensive structures as a baseline, like Paul Roos did with Melbourne, but our offence is so predictable that it’s now beyond the joke. It’s coming back in anyway at the moment in a soul destroying way for the players. They should be taking the game on more than they are.

We dont have the cattle to take the game on. 80% of our team are below average by foot, we dont have the speed or foot skills to be aggressive through the middle, We are to slow and getting burnt as soon as there is a turnover

macpherson has been rubbish this last few weeks
Cooked after carrying the midfield for so much of the season. We have so many guys just down on form and confidence. Making poor decisions and excuting them just as badly.

I don’t think that’s the case. It’s confidence. You put most of these guys in a good team and they’ll be hitting everyone on the tit. Look at Carlton, paddy Dow is a good example

Dows disposal is disgusting, you could put him in anyteam and he would still be horrific, Swallow, MacPherson, Fiorini, Lemmens, Miller are all bad by foot and would be anywhere
