Either players didn’t listen or wrong game style during first half, new coach but better improve quick.
Umpires were ordinary but tigers always get shafted injuries don’t help so is it bad luck of poor staffing?
Season cooked so play kids need to lighten load and remove who is unable to take us forward

Arrogantly really? Think twice about what you are saying. All I did was agree to someone else’s comment. Let’s face it you have a long history of causing issues. Give it a rest.
Really is it bc people tend to play the man rather than the post and ignore the facts? It’s easier to get rid of the peacemakers than to get rid of the peacekeepers.
 
One of our core issues is that we haven’t retired any of our older premiership players, we’ve let them leave (retire) on their own terms. We’ve failed to make the tough and timely decisions on these players and it’s been hurting our list development over the last few years. It will happen starting this year but is about 2 years too late.
If you retire them all at once you end up with disaster like the Hawks

That's a pretty good turn over of older premier players without killing the team

I guess Grimes Macca Prestia this year
 
Confirmed f**kwit Jon Ralph has written a piece in today's Herald-Scum about our poor free kick discrepancy. But the idiot only talks about the frees we give away. That isn't the issue. Just about every free that's paid is there. Yes, some are soft and there's the odd one that isn't there, but the majority of them are.

The issue is the frees that aren't paid when exactly the same frees are paid to the opposition. No matter the opposition. And no matter the venue, and no matter who the umpires are. This clown Ralph did not mention this once in his article.

Clearly the article is supposed to quell the feeling coming from all corners that we are being deliberately f**ked by the umpires at the direct instructions from the AFL. My guess is after Robbo yesterday correctly assumed that this is the case, the boy's club told the paper to put out an article saying that it's all down to the way we play.

Pure corruption at it's most obvious.

CFL boy's club have issued a North Korea type warning to Ralph.
 
His points were all valid
Up to a point. Miller until late in that game has been good defensively all season. The way the ball came in under no pressure late in the game made it very difficult on defenders. Until then both Tracey and Amiss had not done anything more than you would expect from a midfield that dominates. But of course they pick the two easy examples after a 100minutes of football, as Lloyd in particular does. Remember when he called Pickett a faux tough guy for giving a cheap shot and not playing tough himsel. Of course the footage was edited and did not show that Pickett went back to the player and apologised and gave him a hand up. Other examples as well. Also, Miller is a great kick, the thing that has made May so good.

Young bar WC game has been good and is really improving of late and is also a very good kick of the footy. We have Gibcus who will be back next year. They are all young and developing. Can always swing Balta back if need be, especially now that Lefau has come on so well. Imagine if he had the midfield delivery Freo had on the weekend. Lynch is due a change of luck.

I think quality rucks are harder to find, but Nank is playing very good footy and will have both Balta and Lefau to chop our as second rucks, means no more dodgy second rucks/forwards. Would like to see us draft a good young ruck this draft.

We will have a top 2-4 pick this year, that means a very good young mid. Look at the mids North have picked up the last two year.

Changes for this week.
Balta in for Naismith - No brainer.
Cumberland for Campbell - Campbell needs a spell and to play on ball in the VFL.
Smith for Banks - Smith has been in great form and his speed will be a bonus.
Prestia for MacIntosh - Mac needs a run in the VFL.

Pickett close call but might need him to run with Bont. MacAuliffe needs a bit more run in his legs or he would be in.

the cfl is a microcosmic replica of wider society which is capitalism as god come what may and an army of shills telling us how good it is despite the eye test telling all and sundry that everything is worse every freaking year
 
Grimes is cooked, we need to start playing his replacement more to get experience, Tresize looks like the one that can do it.

Our biggest problem on Sunday was lack of run and grunt in the middle. Mcauliff and Smith will help. Need to move Pickett on. Constantly fumbling and slipping over costs us

We are a disaster so i call rubbish.. Our biggest problem is we lack leadership and mainly from the next generation guys like Nakkers, Bolton, Rioli, Baker, Broad, Short and so on. We are a poorly drilled team and there's absolutely no excuses for these guys. After leadership issues we then lack depth as we don't bat deep into the VFL anymore. It comes down to trades, drafting and development and we lack in all three. Yze has a mountain of work to do with our FD and he's going to need to start from the basics and that's player discipline first. We are an absolute rabble atm.
