No we are not, 46 points fron turnovers suggests more errors than that. Same story every week. We have no forward structure...the coach needs to take some accountability for this...we are not evolving at all...the game has actually moved past where we are still at.
Agree on forward structure - but turning it over on the attack (we've been crying out for them to attack) I don't mind as much. If they put together 5-6 handballs to weave through our defense and put it onto a forwards chest so be it. If they want to judge all those as "points off turnovers" just about every score is from a turnover unless you grab it out of the middle and kick one untouched.

At least we've tried to take it on. We were right there until that last 10-15 mins.

you are kidding, right?
The only thing I can say is that there is too much separation in our forward line - when we’ve got no one who looks like taking a contested mark then stop trying to kick it there.

I’d play buddy off a wing and Reid and mccartin as our talls

I’d drop ronke and play mcinenery who actually seems to know how to pressure opponents.

Because buddy is playing off a wing I’d only kick it to him if free.

We are good enough to win these games but our forward line is completely dysfunctional and our midfield are spending so much time trying to spot a mark they are losing it over and over

our midfield on the rare occasions they want to deliver the ball are to damn busy looking for a Buddy and not looking at what is actually ahead of them, by the time they pull the trigger they have taken so long All options are gone. First option, play what is there....and where is our lead out forward, we havent had one for how long.

We are also inviting pressure by moving the ball so slowly. Every time we move the ball fast one player gets it and suddenly stops, giving Richmond all the time they need to setup defensively.

It is fascinating to watch that our players are literally incapable of thinking aggressively without an error. When you're playing an all out defence game style for 4+ year that will happen to them... livid with what has happened to our way of thinking.
