After showing much promise we were finally found out as being to soft when it counted.

Its ok to have a few receivers and ball carriers in the side when you have firm foundations such as rocca and molloy in attack and cloke and wakelin in defence but when we dont our ball carriers went missing.

Why the hell malthouse went with cloke in the forward line ahead of molloy defies logic but in looking ahead there are a few who have past their used by date and should be used to trade up for a grand final while the clock is still at 12.00


People like leon neon,pretty boy holland,boundary hugger lonie,wake up walker,never looks mcgough,apple turnover shaw,lucky you have others make you look good lokan,mighty tap ruckman mckee are all who could be used as bait for a richo ,or a brown.

Even a swap of mckee for allen might be worth a punt

One I agree with, get rid of Holland. Where he gets off thinking he's a model is a joke, ok, nice bod, shame about the rest of him.
 
You have got to be kidding. Most of those guys are just kids, and have plenty of development to go. We still have one of the youngest sides in the comp.

You can stick Allen.

Soft my arse. We played soft tentative football on Saturday. We played a young side - too young. Brisbane knew it and targeted it. The fact is we were beaten by 50 points by a better and harder side. They are better and harder than every other team in the AFL. We need to address a few list issues but talking of mass delistings from the second best team in the AFL is lunacy.
 
The guys deserve another chance, and I dont think they will be soft anymore. The players will learn from their mistakes, and from the way Brisbane plays. Mick will make sure we play as hard as we can every game from now on
 
soft:
Woewodin
Lokan
Shaw
Kinnear
Davis
Lonie

Woewodin is as soft as butter also.
At least Brodie holland stirs up sometrouble and can tackle.
Robert Walls called it perfectly on woewodin in the grandfinal.
 
Woey is being headhunted, no doubt. But I've watched him all year diving into packs, getting under bodies, taking the hard knocks. I thought he was a bit of a behind/forward of the ball player, but this year he has proven differently, and I was quite impressed with many of his games this season.

He had a quiet one in the grandfinal, was intimidated once that I can remember. The rest of the game he was just like his mates....quiet.

Richie Cole is the same, although I always knew he was a hard body. A young bloke who got a litle intimidated on the biggest stage in footy. He is only 19 and will be a class player, dont worry about that.

Its too easy (as a few people have already said) to overreact and chop 10 blokes. That isnt needed, just a few and a bit of aggressive trading is all we need.

Just honestly how many games have you been too this year mate? To call woey soft, i mean yeah at stages but he is always in and under packs, Shaw with his little body tries hard and hits the packs hard.
