Venting is alright. Chucking the towel in the ring is not.

I cannot understand how the coaching group thinks this gameplan is going to win many games. We must be missing out on at least another 4 to 5 goals a game, with this slow, sideways/ backwards movement. Hey Bucks, the season is over mate, let these guys play with some freedom, otherwise step aside and someone else can let them.....

You obviously weren’t watching too hard FM......
They are shizen, flat track bullies, pretenders
they are no good without Butters, he is their barometer, gives their side energy. Without him they are just making up the numbers

I was half right. We didn’t kick 10 goals.
Pendles was woeful today, and Sidey was average with his disposal. With those two struggling, the midfield class is non existent.
Only positives was Poulter, McCreery and Wilson. Rest of the game was again disappointing, disposal efficiency going inside F50 was a debacle, and the lack of a key forward is sticking out like dogs balls. Let see who we recruit in the MSD, probably another HB and CHB, because we are of a defensive mindset, so we will want more defenders.....

We have kicked 13 goals over two games. We average 6.5 goals a game. 10 goals is a fantasy for us....
Amazingly we took the game on in the last 3 minutes, and we scored two goals in that period. Wow, direct forward play can actually give you the opportunity to score, who would have thought....

He was one of our best!
He was, i think I posted that after he was smothered. Had a great day, just a poor moment.

Regaining momentum isn't a simple matter of the coaches saying "hey , snap out of it." Once gone , it can be hard to get back. I am interested in what happens out on the field .
You may well be correct , but you can almost guarantee that Nathan will say in his presser that we played how we want to play in the first quarter and for whatever reason the boys couldn't keep it up etc...... That could be Buck passing (pun intended) but yeah.....we really are a very tiring team to follow , but I suppose you get used to that after a lifetime lol.

Not much to type,
Grundy played well for a change.
McCreery did well and got the most out of his limited chances.
Poulter I will call that a learning game but plenty of potential alas very one sided.
Crisp wow again this was a great game.
Daicos is getting better with every game.
Now for my negatives.
Pendles
Sidebottom
De Goey
Senior players that just went missing and why?

Adams make a huge difference to this team. And Crisp is outstanding.
Grundy looked back to his best particularly in the first half.
I don’t know if he is told to do it but Noble always seems to lead 15m from guy with the ball and then delivers it another 15m. I can’t help but think this is really hurting the ball movement.
As I said, I don’t know if this is the coaching, him or a lack of hard running by others. But it’s a prime reason why we can’t score goals.
C Brown just fails to put us in a better position when he has the ball and has no awareness. Not only did he miss that steadier we needed (again), but streaming into goal 35m out and he tries to pass it 15m! What is that??!!!
WHE looks like he has turned the corner.
Elliott back will make a big difference.
At least we made it difficult for them to score. At least something is working.

I was, considering l pay for two reserved seats, l have to get some value from this club. Ashame it's not in the currency of wins!! I'm not bagging players though, just the stubbornness of the coaches to stick with this defensive, keepings off gameplan, that isn't going to win us matches, because we don't score!!! With this coaching group 2 + 2 must equal 5....

He’s marked well in previous weeks, but Cameron had a fair few chances today and couldn’t get separation or stick his marks. Obviously not helped by slow ball moment. Like many other moments today taking one or two could have changed the outcome.
