Keane wasn't the problem. The problem was why he was still on Gunston in the 4th after 5 goals 3.

MAKE A ****ING CHANGE
When Murray has the lowest contest lost % in the entire league

Our gameplan devolved from a fast, high scoring, fun to watch, winning style... To a defensive slopfest where we play slow, horrible, down the line, cowardly loser football that's unwatchable.

What the actual **** were we thinking?
Yea actually hated watching us play the last 6 weeks tbh. It’s like we were a completely different team with a different game plan

And because we went away from the fast style of play, I think it also took away our ferociousness in the contest.

We actually played with the intensity of a pre season game in both finals
 
Yep

His involvement up forward and in handball chains we can do without

Also his ruckwork and marking and play
He almost had a great moment when he was streaming forward with the ball, but then unfortunately missed his foot

Nicks by his own admission is a conservative coach. He will not take us to a premiership.

It's like we did a reverse 2024. We started with the good gameplan then Nicks loses his mind and reverts to the epic rounds 1-4 2024 gameplan

So Nicks puts Taylor in the middle for the last quarter of the season and the kid gets 9 touches.

How about trying the kid a bit earlier f wit

(Eg like in round 5 perhaps)
Because Taylor is a proper footballer with brains and clean hands. Better than the other try hards.
 
We’ve had 5 years to build a midfield however we’ve continued to neglect it

Zac Taylor actually looked like our best midfielder when he went in there. That’s saying something
Agree re taylor. Might be the only positive assuming we sign him and give him more chances next year
 
Good - nothing

Bad - everything

I’ll be checking out of 2026 pretty early if curtin and Draper aren’t attending the most center bounces to start the season.
I don't even think draper will be in the afl side
