Clav isn't playing. Is injured which is why he was wearing the same colour as the best 22.
Interesting and disappointing

Training the other day, did you find it interesting that Rath spent more time “inspecting” then normal?
I find the fitness query you have puzzling as I’m pretty sure there is a quote floating around from the summer saying the boys put in the work.
There didn’t appear to be a fitness issue prior to the Melbourne game either.
The king king ball kick is frustrating. Granted.
But is that a by product from the smalls not doing enough?
Roughys 360 comments are frustrating. Mentions maybe we were better suited to smaller quarters with games more congested.
The one shining light, is that if true - the playing list is suited to what the game plan change should be. It’s the work ethic that needs to be challenged.
Mate, we've just been done to the tune of nearly 100 points by a team of pimply faced goobers and a fat Jake Stringer, I reckon some pessimism is warrantedA pretty pessimistic bunch of supporters here, never seen supporters toss it in so quickly.
So tempting to just derail this thread and add on another 30 pages this afternoonHave sent PM
Unbelievable, mixed emotions really.
Dgs played Norf. They are Bruce’s bunnies. Tell your mate not to get too confident just yet,
Bruce, Hind, Newnes, Sav and Parker etc, etc, etc.
They’re gone. Let’s move on.
Hindsight is a perfect science....and what’s more, it tends to elevate certain players into the superstars they never actually were.
Steele was a beast that game.Let’s just do this again Saturday, JB the finisher View attachment 1096997
Why don't we learn how to play keepings off footy?
Y'know - if you can't beat them - join them
There was a lot of issues with Bruce behind the scenes.I said not to trade him before we did it though. Seemed to leave King exposed.
Can't see us making that big of a change and to be honest I don't see it working.Yep that is exactly what I'm hoping we do, and I think until we do- we are gonna continue to lose most of our games under these new rules... regardless of 'workrate' or 'effort'.
If we continue to play a game style that is centered on getting the ball forward quickly... even to a 50/50 or worse contest- an increase in 'workrate' is going to do little to help- we will still be giving the opposition the ball back far easier than they are handing it back to us.
That is a death sentence against any opponent who plays possession football.
It will take a major pivot in the way we play though- but I hope we start trying to change our style this week.
Chaos balls forward = out
Quick kicks to teammates and maintaining possession = in
YepThere was a lot of issues with Bruce behind the scenes.
Wanted big money. Acted like he was prime Rooey.
Wasn’t the most likes guy on the list either.
He isn’t as good as what you think and you should know that having watched him for us.
They were practising exactly that. Pretty poorly too.

Were you saying this about Bruce last year? Seriously one good game a year is what you get from him. And having him now wouldnt change a thing.He's not a star and was only serviceable but I'd take serviceably over the sh*t we are dishing up to be honest.
Steele, Membrey and Howard are the only players to have backed up or improved since last year. Maybe Ross a touch too but if we went through every player on our list there is hardly a winner amongst them. Nearly every player apart from the ones mentioned that polled well in our B and F are either injured or might as well be.
Look, having met Ratten and having spoken to those who work with him...He's not a star and was only serviceable but I'd take serviceably over the sh*t we are dishing up to be honest.

A fit, game ready Marshall is massive - I hope he's not underdone and we've rushed him back for his sake.Marshall back in is massive.
I know last couple of weeks have been very poor, but when you look at our team on paper most seem to be good kicks, so I don't see why we aren't capable of this. Wasn't good kicking also Ratten's number one agenda item upon being appointed senior coach?
You don’t have to keep bringing it up. Yes I would have got black cavier beaten.It was plugger66's post in the injuries thread:

Pretty sure has many good mates at the club going Instagram. He left so I don’t like him.There was a lot of issues with Bruce behind the scenes.

Honestly, it reeks of desperation that we are praying Marshall’s return from injury and a total of 3 quarters of football in 6 weeks will change our fortune.A fit, game ready Marshall is massive - I hope he's not underdone and we've rushed him back for his sake.
