Autopsy Flogged as expected by cats on our own dunghill. The 14 streak continues.

A ticker-tape parade might be thrown the next time we win 3 in a row.

Whoever this sports counsellor or whatever the title is, glorified low-rent psychologist; they are garbage at their job.

****en oath.

The 50 LDU gave away is a classic example of how bad they are.

 

[desie]

If these guys can see it why can't our coaches and leaders?

Because the leadership have a blind belief that the right people are in the right roles and that despite all the noise they just need to stay the course.

You have to question at what point that becomes pig headed stubbornness in the face of all the evidence.

We are at that point now...

3x bottom 3 finishes is that point.

We aren't miraculously springboarding up the ladder and finishing 9th next season.

In a galaxy far far away in the future . I would love to be 10 goals up on them . Cam gets subbed off , takes out the baby Weber on the bench and starts bbqueing sausages .

And hands them out to everyone who comes off for a rest!

On a positive note, imagine if that was our 100th Game Celebration as originally planned?

Thursday night haters changing their tune pretty quickly after that performance lol

Nup

The club screwed up that night big time

I’m just clutching at any silver lining

The club and team have packed it in for the year so I'll be doing the same. Not watching, not attending and reconsidering my membership unless the appropriate changes start happening beginning with the leadership and talent/ list management.

If they have packed it in, I hope that they have all decided to work doublely hard on strength and fitness, speed and agility - as if they are doing a preseason build up.

I think that in general, our blokes are skinny in comparison to their opponents and half of them look knackered by late in the first quarter whereas opponents are often running out games at full pace.

I recall Harry stating that he had tapered down, lost 5 kilos or so. He hasn't looked anywhere near as good as he did earlier on. Curtis on the other hand bulked up and looked far stronger as a result until Christian did a number on him anyway.

Actually, I think they are fantastic at their job. They have allowed every player to believe that being perpetual losers is OK.

This is all well and good.

But these two blokes are on 1.3 between them. Clearly the system is flawed, but it gives such a out for the actual players.

 

[BigRedRoo]

Anyone else notice the lost of Luke McDonald has been overlooked by many? He injured his shoulder against the Hawks after a season best performance against the Blues the week before. Since then defensively the team has collapsed. It seems like Luke was the glue holding the back six together and without him, its fallen apart, with scores against us of 150, 134, 119, 84 and 150. Only the Swans failed to score 100 points or more against us. Suggests to me we need at least two experienced backman into this side to right the ship.

Seems more than that to me, it appears that they don't know how to set up or what is the setup strategy , how to work together, how to cover for each other, when to pull the trigger and when to stay back and cover, lack of accountability.

Credit to him, he's had a good season and his absence as that general in the backline has been very evident on-field, as you've pointed out. I was a hater but I've come around to him post-captaincy.

 

[franjon]

The optics of smiles, butt-pats, shoulder rubs and infantile press conference excuses after horrific and appalling showings on the field.

Maybe not purposely, but gee wiz, they’re not reading the room very well.

No they're not, but it's because we've no balls as a club. We keep employing continual failures, recruiting players that really aren't helping the cause. We're screwed until the hard edge is back. We haven't had it since Pagan and to a lesser extent Laidley.

His skill with the ball is always going to be a problem but the endeavor has never been in question.
