You should have busted this one out when Hale was still around.

We did not see fit to change our plan of attack for the conditions. As bad as a lot of the players were that was, fundamentally, f#$%ing atrocious gameday coaching. Need to learn from that
-16 clearances
- 27 contested possessions
-6 contested marks
But people wanna pot shot Banfield or question why Walker didn't play? Amazes me how people always wanna go after the soft targets.
How did Brayshaw, Serong, Mundy and Pearce go? You know, our leaders? All were s**t, pot shot them, they didn't fire a single shot all game, Banfield isn't why we loss and it sure as f**k wasn't because Walker didn't start

Sucks weāve only won 7 games this year.
Disappointingly we just had a completely different style. We hand balled backwards which invites pressure. Iāve loved our handballing forwards to create speed.
We rarely looked inside.
We had no run out of defense.
Was it rain, opposition set up, team changes unbalanced?
We need to go back to team structure NUMBER 1.

Banfield has built a reputation on scoring cheap goals against rubbish sides.
Iād love a stat on how many goals heās scored against top 8 sides, or how many goals heās scored when we are trailing on the scoreboard in a game.
Heās not the reason we lost today, far from it.
But if he takes to the field against Melbourne or brisbane it will be a very long day for us supporters.

Thought Brodie could hold his head high. Another consistent effort on a day he didn't have many mates with him.
It was 100% a team wide effort and it seems ridiculous to pin it on one or two players.
The silver lining is that Brayshaw, Serong, Young etc are still at a stage where games like today can contribute to their development.

After starting the game well we got forced wide with our entries and I think for most of the game our entries inside 50m were long high kicks and around the boundary. The attempts to cut back through the midfield and redirect into the forward 50 via the corridor were hampered by the conditions and we used up an extra couple of seconds to retrieve a mishandled ball or misdirected disposal. But we were beaten in the contest around the ball to start with and also we might have had a extra player behind the ball giving Suns and extra around the ball.
Not sure the game plan was correct for wet weather footy. Missed our two best small forwards, plus our best key forward and Fyfe.
A few players may have got ahead of themselves. A good lesson for the coaches, as well as the players. not too worried.

When it rains like that handballing based game plans should go out the window. We have see it over and over again.
Just gain territory by any and all means.
Suns werenāt even trying to mark the ball in the D50 most of the time. Just double handed punches to safety.
Our complete lack of forward craft meant that loads of stoppages in their D50 provided zero danger for them.
Not sure that would help in QLD. It rains more there in summer.
as does quoted post.
I think people are going a bit overboard. We weren't "smashed" all around the ground. We had more than our fair share of opportunities. The problem is that we butchered 95% of those opportunities. Our forward line this week is one of the weakest I've seen for a long time at AFL level.
Meanwhile Chol and Rankine had the best games of their careers in the Suns' forward line, and that was the difference between the teams.

He stood out with his lack of fumbling. One grab players are priceless.
Iām not disagreeing. Get it in quickly, bring it to ground, lock it in and grind. Not hard.
Problem was we couldnāt for the life of us compete in the air up forward. The spoils were 20-25m spoils.
Plus credit to GC to pressure us backwards.
All of that said, that simply wasnāt our brand.
Is my thinking as well. Disappointing that the team didnāt adjust but those conditions are about a foreign as they get for WA teams. Good teams will adjust and weāre not there yet. We fumbled and put ourselves under pressure (didnāt manage the slippery humid and wet conditions).
Iād like to see Sturt playing but only if he is reaching his markers.
A smaller forward line-up might have helped. In the first quarter we had 19 i50 and just bombed it on the head of Lobb. We needed to think through the forward movement and i50ās much better than we did. Tossing the ball around backwards sideways and then bombing it long. By the time we were bombing there were heaps of GC defenders.
There has to be a better option than Banfield. He panics and generally makes poor i50 decisions - everything he does is rushed. He gets to the right spot but that is about it.
He did ok but you can see why they got rid of him, their midfield is better than ours, simply didn't need him.

We won't be the last team to lose to the Suns up there.
Exactly. Fyfe is a huge loss but on wet days like this, his loss is 3 times bigger.
One of the best one touch players in the wet Iāve ever seen.
I think only Krusty can express my feelings today.
