This is a MYTH! Our Defense was ‘fixed’ by overloading it. Now that’s harder to do with 6-6-6 it looks worse. Bassett is not a good coach.

His contract runs out in 2021, so I think he'll survive to the end of next year. The dumbest decision the club's ever made.
Yeah didn't look at it that way, well we are f....d then, all the people running the show are the ones responsible for the mess.
Over?? This was where it was headed in the trade period. We are a rebuilding side with a complete moron as coach. What a shock it is.
As for Hinkley everyone can see we aren’t going anywhere with him. Fans had a brief ray of hope that the new rules and new assistants would force a structure and gameplan that stopped his worst tendencies, but it only took to round 3 to disabuse us of that.
We can’t sack him, but does his contract say he must have the title of senior coach? If not then tell him they are making Schofield coach and he can either be relegated to a desk coach as ‘Director of coaching’ with everyone in the industry knowing he was shoved aside and will struggle to get another job or come to terms with a partial payout and say ‘He was burned out and needs a year off, sorry he has to step away’ and everyone can cry crocodile tears. Less money straight up, but more over the long haul by not being mud across the AFL.

Honestly doesn’t matter if we make the 8 or Finish bottom from here. Not gonna make a difference and every season is over until Hinkley is gone.

How many intercept marks did Grimes have in D50 in the last quarter? Five, six?
How many years does Ken need to correct this?
Mate, you might be friendly and stuff, but you can’t coach. Piss off.

Sadly by the time he is gone, Westhoff, Gray, Ryder and Boak will probably be done.
Robbie, Arguably our best ever AFL player will be without a premiership because of this clowns coaching.

At least not when we refuse to select tall forwards.
If we had someone there to bring it to ground Butters and Gray and Motlop mightbhave kicked a goal.

If Grimes does that to us, just imagine what McGoverns gonna do next week. Can see him breaking the record for defensive marks.
He taught us how to defend as a team like he did successfully at Norwood. We really don't have defenders that are great 1-1 so we need to cover them.
We've now moved him to the forward line, an area he failed at with Essendon and was not good at with his SANFL flags, winning by strangling the life out of the game.
I reckon if we moved him back to team defence with Schofield in the mids, we'd have a decent, counter attacking team.
Right now we've got a forward line that kind of defends ok but most of our scores come from resting rucks and mids...what about our actual forwards?

I emotionally checked out after Lynch was given a 50 for Houston running over the mark even though he'd very clearly played on. Could've written the script for the game myself at that point and it would've been dead on.
Sidenote, since moving to the Tigers the level to which Tom Lynch is looked after by the umpires makes Joel Selwood look like Dan Hannebery in the 2016 GF. And that goes for every other game he's played for the Tigers too, not just tonight. If Warren Tredrea got Lynch's umpiring he'd have broken Tony Lockett's record.

Robbie should move on next year and finish his career at a club contesting the flag
For a lot of the last quarter our forward 50 had about 32 players in it..and we bombed it long and Richmond got it back and slingshotted is the other way...we need more precise kickers if you’re an average kick you should never be selected.
Personally, I’ve had my concerns about this year from halfway through the first quarter of the Carlton game. We haven’t addressed any of our major weaknesses:
Skills? No
Forward craft? No
Ball movement? No
Resilience? No
Contested marking? No
The list goes on
