Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
You've lost the plot in the last 12 minutes!!!Just give the job to Leppa please! Dimwit has lost the plot in the last 12mths
Aarts, castagna, pickettWell there was no VFL last year so hardto develop.
Its not really the same players. Who has played well? Nank and grimes have been poor. Jack and Lynch dropping chest marks. Lambert awful. Rioli and Parker are trying hard not much else happening.
I'm starting to think Dimma can't coach and is only a great man manager. Either that or all his assistants suck.
Injuries don't help but we were sh*t early on this year too.
You disagree?
Geez we have some embarrasing supporters on here. I guess all clubs do tho
Sorry STRUGGLETOWN EST1885 I like your posting in general, but our problem is that most of our stalwarts are done and our depth is limited.Exactly. I'm not even thinking of the scoreline. It's irrelevant to how this season has gone. I'm looking at the positives. Parker, Rioli, Stack, Garthwaite all having a crack today. The other BIG positive. A FULL preseason, players able to get their operations and fully healed plus high draft picks. 2022 is looking bright IMO.
So calling Bellamy helps him...Improvement? learning?
I will never know why people look down on coaches for genuinely wanting to improve themselves.. It should be praised.
HRS,,cumberland rioli,, dow,, ******* anyoneI get the frustration but who do you bring in for them?
Bellamy drops players who dont perform,Hardwick should enquire why he does that ,it may fix a few issuesWhy?
He isn’t aloneReset for next year I reckon,
I think after 3 flags we are entitled to a poor one.
Games like this will tell us a lot about who is part of our future and who isn't. Right now I do not think Jack Ross should be...
Any chance we can get Martin out there in a wheelchair
This has nothing to do with the skills of the players on the park. They are absolutely hopeless!Gentlemen, I know it hurts.
But here are all our players that missed significant time due to injury, or never got on the park this year:
Astbury
Balta
Bolton
Broad
CCJ
Cotchin
Edwards
Houli
Lambert
Lynch
Martin
McIntosh
Nankervis
Prestia
Vlaustin
Soldo
That's 16. Fifteen of which are absolute best 22 locks - if you include Soldo. Yes, we have some of that cavalry back now. But injury interrupted seasons mean that key players, the ordinary BF nuffies from the main board or other club forums may not recognise, have been well down. We can't keep fighting the fight every week, especially as this week Cotchin and Edwards have already copped what look like pretty significant knocks.
We are trying, we do care. We just aren't good enough at the moment, and have key players out of form or missing. There are small lights at the end of this tunnel though - Mansell is getting better every week. Rioli is beginning to show signs that he could be a damaging Saad style half back.
We desperately need midfield depth. Cerra had 30 & 2 goals today. Yet most of the boffins in the trade and fa thread deem him a vanilla player worth nothing more than a straight swap for McIntosh. It is blindingly obvious. We need him, and we need another extractor. It has to be the area we address first. We simply cannot go with big bodied, deep midfields. Hopper would be ideal, but it won't happen.
Your questioning the boys heart?1 arsey goal to half time…
Season done. Doesn’t matter if we win the last 4 and make the finals, we are way off it… need a full reinvention over the off season, fit playing list, a new coaching panel to support Hardwick and a strong trade/draft period.
honestly, don’t want to sound like a sore loser but I can’t stomach watching our games anymore. Between umpiring I can’t understand and any semblance of skill, heart or spark in the way we play it is just hard work, not entertaining and even boring.
Shorts kicking has gone backwardsRioli has been ok. Could revive his career at HB next year. Might turn out as good as Markov if we’re lucky.
Parker trying hard but we need more than trying hard to fill our holes.
Cats too classy all over the park.
Sad to see cotch going around at the moment. Remember when Shorty played with dash and opened up the angles with his kicking…
We’ll be competitive again next year.
Are you watching the game? He’s is gone. He is finished and some on here need a wake up call!
