EVW and Durden couldn't play as lambs to slaughter?

Like Thommo and Hansen were so admirable, and off such a stunning pre-season to warrant selection........

Seriously poor calls especially if future is the priority. Could have won today but blew another game.

Because the shit that I saw today wasn't coming from the next generation.

And he was able to take us to the Finals with a team that lacked one or two guns.
Well that's some very ordinary reasoning Gas. :stern look

As for the "shit" we saw today who do you think was ultimately responsible for that? :stern look

LOL. :stern look
To be honest Zmoney I think Scott is better than the wrap he gets on here. Sure he has his weaknesses, which you allude to in your post but in reality he took what was a 7-8 out of 10 list to two prelims. I have mentioned in another post somewhere that ultimately he should transition to a Director of Football role because i think he will be better suited to more overarching responsibility but who knows, perhaps some of these kids that are and will be getting games will come on strong over the next two seasons and enable us to push deep again. From there it can be a lottery.

Fair Enough B-Bop but the bottom line is he ain't taking us to the Promised Land. :stern look

I think this will be Brad's last year if we perform like I expect we will. I think it will be a mutual decision too.

I would really love to see what someone like Clarkson would do with our team line up. He has a knack for moving guys around and experimenting and I just feel our Midfield would be so different under a new coach.

If we can great but if not i'd give Tudor a few years to see what he can do.

Why was it that Zondors predicted 2 weeks out from the season opener that Mitchell would be the highest possession winner in the North vs WC game and Scotts would not do one thing to curtail this? Why? :stern look

Thommo and Hansen were poo for the most part but yeah, EVW and Durdin would not have fared much better and that kind of intro could be somewhat detrimental to them first up. I understand the logic in their non selection. Play youngsters up the ground expecting at times poor defensive transition so play seasoned defenders in the hope they hold out. Didn't work.

But yeah, as I mentioned previously, the way the mids and forwards defended today we were never going to win regardless of who was back there. Add into the mix horrible turn overs and poor kicking for goal and we were on a hiding to nothing.
