Roast Ben Hart you aren't giving us a chance.

[Greenac]

It is clear our two biggest weaknesses are our forward structure and our fitness.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg type thing but I think it's clear that forward structure (or lack thereof) hurts us more.

There HAVE been a few games this year where we should have been (or deserved to be) in front at half time but haven't taken our chances, or even created any.

At no point have we been ahead later in the game, we seem to continually flirt with closing the gap but can never actually do it. Then we run out of gas. But if our forward structures weren't so poor and we actually created strong chances that we could convert we might actually have a lead to defend when we run out of gas. It's easier to do that than chase the game.

Ben Hart, it's just not working, you aren't giving us a chance.

Ben Hart, it's just not working. At what point do we put the club first?

We would be better off without a forward coach at all at this point.

 

[Crowked]

Won’t be at the club next year. Can’t be.

He’s been a complete bust as a coach. Conclusively proven spud.

 

[dylan123]

It's not great but our players inability to kick it to our advantage or even a 50/50 chance for our forwards is awful. Tex must have had 4 chances where he doesn't even get a chance to touch the ball because of our butchery going to him.

They haven't given him a go as the midfield coach yet.

 

[SellarStardom]

Why not have Tex as an assistant forward coach from next year and bring in a proper forwards coach.

But the buck also doesn't stop at Hart, Nicks needs to take some responsibility for the lack of structure front of centre. He needs a senior assistant badly

Does my head in that we decided Burton wasn't up to the job and sacked him, but have kept on the appointments made under his watch.

It's like getting rid of a dog that shits everywhere but not bothering to clean up the mess.

Someone posted in another thread recently that we had no money to afford any other coaches this season, so kept Hart and Godden on a budget salary

That means severe financial mismanagement

Problem is Burton tore down the house and replaced it with a building made entirely of s**t.

We could get rid of all the s**t but then we're left with no house.

 

[Vhaluus]

Well yeah but didn't we already know the club was guilty of this?

This year we'd be paying probably over 2 million to employees no longer at our club.

Pyke, Campo, Burton, Jenkins, Betts.

I would rather sleep out in the open under the stars (or even in the rain) than in a house full of s**t. At least by clearing that away you can make a start on building a new house. Maybe one that people might even want to come into.

But then we'd have to admit to being homeless and the club is far too proud for that. So instead we just ANNOUNCED we were rebuilding while trying to keep the s**t from falling apart.

Hard to remain proud when you've won the wooden spoon and not won a game all year. The management of this club are the type who, being homeless, would turn up at their high school reunion filthy, stinking, wearing a garbage bag and pushing a shopping trolley full of all their worldly possessions, and say that they thought it was a fancy-dress party and they're really actually CEO of some successful corporation and doing quite well for themselves while everybody else just stands around holding their noses.

Dean Solomon is now looking for a job... Just sayin...

 

[betterthanu]

Today is the day assistant coaches need to be told of contracting for next year i believe. If hes getting sacked we should hear about it soon.

 

[jenny61_99]

OR, paying out Pyke and Burton, paying part of Betts and Jenkins salaries.... then hit with a global pandemic which meant loss of income, and having to let go those that would cost too much while knowing the others would only be here for a year....

The AFL cutbacks announced today are a blessing in disguise.

Enter Brad Scott.

Nah, it's difficult to get a read on our forward line when they consistently get such rubbish delivery from the midfield week in, week out. Our biggest problem is our midfield, very difficult to look anything other than average when your midfield gets belted every week.

You can equally argue that the midfield is throwing up trash because they aren't being offered anything.

Our midfield in the last few weeks with Laird in there has gone from.abysmal to very poor and is trending upwards to well below average. I can't say the forward line is on the same trajectory.

How is it that even with the numerous balls kicked high into the forward line that even with 3 "talls" down there you rarely see them hit the contest? I'd say you see more of ROB and McAdam going for the big kicks in, our talls dont get near it. They clearly weren't leading to the ball either. At best it seems they run toward space away from the kicker toward the boundary line.

 

[Murray2503]

Listening to Hart on 5aa the couple of times I listened to him was enough for me to ascertain he shouldn't be let anywhere near our club. Great player, dumb coach.

 

[Murray2503]

Can coach but let's look at every coach let go and get the best. That may well be Solomon but we need the best we can get our hands on.

absolutely, but you'd need to be fairly quick to get Solomon you'd think
