[TENACIOUS]

Can’t fault the boy’s endeavour.

List and Football Department lacks depth and talent.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

It must be incredibly demoralising for the players having to go through the motions week after week under the same flawed coaching and game plan.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Brave

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The effort was there, and the boys did back each other up.

 

[SolGoodman]

There's signs of life in this side yet.

Between this game and the VFL tonight there's truly light at the end of this long dark tunnel IMHO.

Change is needed, but this team is going to be special when it clicks (personnel and coaching wise)

 

[AB_Blue]

Hows the skills on the skipper….sublime

 

[JustaBattler]

Looking forad to all teh cut and paste commentary about flawed game plan versus modern football- ignoring the facts of the game....

 

[Neese]

I am going to read my book.
Annoyed.

I agree. While this season is gone, there is hope.

Something needs to give soon.

I can totally understand GW wanting to keep Voss long enough to send a message to potential coaches that we will support them.

But at the same time, we can't let it get to a point where we have another decent bunch of players who are so fed-up that they want out at season's end.

There needs to be a circuit breaker at some stage. I suspect it won't be until the bye in 6 weeks though.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Effort was there but our inability to execute basic skills, especially from our leaders are deplorable.

 

[Red Bull]

Wow !!
How about that !!

 

[17in25]

Every week an awful patch undoes hard work.
I feel for the players.

 

[jj1978]

Skills stink. Cripps can’t even hit targets by hand anymore. Walsh can’t hit a 15m pass. Jagga now too scared to kick. Young’s mum must hate washing the skid marks off the jocks after a game as he doesn’t trust his disposal ability. Did Reidy get a tap to advantage tonight?

Not sure AI is our main priority ATM to remedy.

 

[gab213]

What I did like is that the players dont appear to be dispirited as a whole. There were times last year when they looked like they didnt want to be there, I'm not seeing that.

 

[mochacinolatte]

Honestly, better than expected. Probably be one of our better games this year cause we probably played more than 3 qtrs.

Liam Reidy battle back after that 1st qtr smacking.

Kemp must be signed on, just can't give away quality.

McGovern finally pulling his finger out this season after all these years.

Very sloppy skills, too many kicks dropping short and handballs missing targets,

Carroll just improves.

Lord did an excellent job on Serong.

Nothing else too add really.

Agree, but feel it’ll be without the old firm.

Nick Austin cops heaps, but I think his drafting has been good. Player trades a different story.

It’s going to be 5-6 years from when he started for the selections to fruit

We do have emerging talent.

The old firm tonight show that they have it when it’s on, but the gap between best and worst is too big

 

[YeoShuey]

Was that impressive? I thought the ending was them letting us off the leash a bit because they had it in the bag already.

Major positive was Kemp. Best on for us from me.

 

[SolGoodman]

Also, he may or may not be the answer for the future as our lead ruckman, but Reidy in a SERIOUSLY unfavorable match up against a freak like Jackson did everything he could, was our third highest rated player tonight.

He's had no continuity at all and he never gave up. Showed some skills with his handballs out of the middle too.

 

[JustaBattler]

the difference was Bolton and 4 regiualtion missed kicks. oh playing Moir on Pearce sand Harry as amarking target . Very string effort from a lot of players tonight especially Haynes/McGovrn Ainsworth and Carroll...Walsh getting back to his best running form.

Suprise dwe didnt get floged yb ten gpals base don hoem ground team abvailability .

Wel donr boys - getting closer every week to genuine finals football- even carrygn 4 players.

 

[Juddrockz]

This club just zaps my energy week after week. It's just horrible, we're 30 plus years on from our last flag and not within cooey of another anytime soon.
Love Carroll just sayin'.

 

[passmark]

Fantastic effort by everyone.
Let down by the midfield and the midfield rotations.

Can’t cover for such a liability of personnel and performance.

It’s not his fault but Cripps is done, finished, kaput.

Sack Voss.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Look, good effort again... but at this point we're starting to be "brave"...

Had some players missing but tbh, I don't think they'd have made a difference except maybe having Pitto out there.

Every week, it's the same thing that is bringing us down and the reality is, there's nothing we can do about it.

I think Carroll on the wing has been one of the biggest revelations of this season.

Kemp performed admirably as well. Can't ask any more from him.

Leaders let us down again...

 

[carlton_99]

You just can't stop in-game for 15 minutes and give up a bunch of goals with zero resistance. Where are the adjustments during this period? Killing us week after week.
