Blame the players all you want, yes our midfield might not be the best but that is not the main reason why were so shit.

Adam Simpson can't coach! Whether it's player selection, or on game day the guy does not know what to do.

Last year we wernt shit because of woosha, but more so we had half our team out. This season we've got out full team In yet have declined since the beginning of the season.

Having seen only 2 game for the year, but reading as much as I can I am interested in what is going on.
While I'm not ready to lynch the coach, you make a good point in that, we had much more injuries last year and were playing roughly the same. All I read about is how shit everyone is this year.
What is up with Shuey, Selwood, Nic Nat, JK etc? Maybe the coach isn't getting enough out of them, maybe our list is shit and Woosha just managed to squeeze more out of them??? Concerning for sure.
 
I think he can coach but our entire coaching panel is substandard or below average. Its really coaching panel vs coaching panel.

Selwood did his ankle in round 3 and, as is evident from his game against Geelong in round 4, he should have had the op then but stayed on about two months too long.

NicNat is less fit than we were led to believe pre season. Annoyed at the club for that.

Shuey is trying but dissapointing. JK though...... he'd want a good reason for his form, has been awful.
 
I honestly think the players aren't a fan of the coach.

He's trying to implement a new game plan yet drops or "rests" players week after week? How are they going to get used to a new game plan when we have 3-4 different players every week?

Every time we seem to gain momentum in a game Simpson doesn't do anything to protect a lead and all that hard work just gets turned over.

Yes we may be playing slightly better than last year but we have hurn, NICNAt, shuey, ellis + more playing that we didn't have last year


Chuck Kennedy, LECRAs, hurn, nicnat, Mckenzie into a team like Richmond who are doing similar to us and all of a suddenly they'd be top 8

That's because they're playing with 27 players :drunk:

What ever it's the coaches first year, might aswell back him in wont be getting a new coach for years ! Midfielders got bullied again !
 
We are playing better than last year.

Really?

Contested possessions
2013 - 6th
2014 - 11th

Clearances
2013 - 4th
2014 - 15th

Clangers (lower is better)
2013 - 17th
2014 - 13th

1%ers
2013 - 7th
2014 - 12th

On the plus side our DE% is up 2% (not much) and our uncontested possessions are up. Rest are pretty similar. Now we are adapting to a new gameplan - and it does show some promising signs - but the jury is still well and truly out.
