Our plans,A,B,C is kick to a contest, all the other teams know this, I watch every game in the hope that our first clean kick opportunity is something different, if it is I keep watching with excitement, if it is a long kick to a contest I know it will be a long game that we probably lose and it...

Our fwd line will always get beaten because the opposition know a long kick to a contest is coming. Joe, Eric nor Charlie are contested mark players, why play as if they are?

I wish Eric would stay in the square an lead straight out , instead of leading to the pockets

Eric should be at his peak now. I'm worried this is the best he will ever be.

I'm more concerned with developing a plan to defend a lead in the last 10 minutes than missing an individual player with injury, which will happen at times and we have a similar player in the VFL.

I was not happy with Lachie taking Zorko's roll of getting involved off the ball. Learn to fall over and get the free.

First thing Fagan must do is have a hard chat with the umpires and find out which offensives are flavour of the month in Melbourne, because we usually don't get included in the local Melbourne in-house chats.

We seem to start the new season as though we haven't paid attention to the new rule changes. I remember when the " stand" rule came in and we were caught out.

We didn't choke, we got sucked into their s**t or bust game , were three goals in front and played panic football. I said this months ago, start the last quarter a few goal in front and we should cruise to a win,we panic and just blast the ball anywhere with no thought to the fact that the clock...

To the fwd line. You can't add someone without taking someone out

In a rebuilding team I would prefer to swap one potential superstar for three good work horses

It would be a good in, who would be the out?

My biggest fear now is that Fagan brings Gunstem and Rich back for the finals

Just a question, how come we never seem to totally run over the top of the opposition , we alway seem to start the last quarter with the game close enough to lose. Is it our game style, coaching style, players tired or comfortable that we can win.?

If they play a defensive clogging game, instead of us playing our attacking clogging game, maybe keeping the ball outside the 50 until a good opportunity fwd presents itself, instead of kicking to the top of the square where 18 St Kilda players are waiting.

Just like players, coaches have different skills. The skill reqd to take young players to successful senior players is one skill. The skill to take good senior players to flag winners is another. Chris Fagan is very good at the first. Leigh Mathews very good at the other, our players would have...

Everyone knows that wth football, a young player trains hard if he is good enough he plays seniors, eventually he gets older and loses form and doesn't get selected and retires. Their should be no difficulty it's just a fact of football life, we cocked it up last year with Robbo now we are doing...

Our players aren't making it up on the pitch, they are told what to do by the coaches. Long kick down the line, long and high to the fwds, kick to a contest. It didn't win a flag three years ago, if we keep at it it may win us a wooden spoon. Time to unleash plan B.

We are playing kick and hope football

There are two factors when they happen at the same time concern me, first, our forth quarter ease up when we are comfortably in front and the oppositions s**t or bust attacks gets a couple of goals, other teams see this and see s**t or bust play is our weakness. The other is that when we start a...

Was pleased we gave GWS their biggest defeat this year, well done everyone. That’s my plus, my minus is that I would likes to develop a shut down plan otherwise I can see us losing a close game when the opposition throws everything at us in a s**t or bust last five minuets

When we slow the game down we should do it by keeping possession, 16 metre kicks and using the 20 seconds, only using the kick to a contest when absolutely necessary, always remember they can’t score when we have the ball.

I agree, but I couldn’t see where those two kicks would come from.

How many of the seniors should be picked solely on form?

Game plan and tactics are the coaches decisions, as soon as we start kicking down the line I know we will lose and it will be a painful game to watch

Joe is selfish, Eric can’t mark. when your two big fwds fail you can’t blame the smalls

We didn’t deserve to win

It’s very frustrating watching us playing total different game from last week

who ever tells the players that a long kick to a contest is the way to a flag needs to retire

Next quarter will be better, Dev couldn’t play any worse than that.
