Not sure on JLo, but I feel fairly certain we're going to nowhere with this team. Similar to Saints and Carlton we will just hang in the middle. Better than the bottom teams but nowhere near the top teams.
I haven't watched it yet but was certainly expecting us to get beaten and the margin isn't a surprise. The fact that we lost Fyfe and Walters throughout the game I'd actually say I'm surprised we weren't beaten by more. Sydney are flying at the moment and we're having to play blokes like Banfield, Henry, Crowden, Blakely, Colyer, Meek, Schultz and an out of sorts Tucker. We're terrible "on paper" and then to lose Fyfe and Walters, some of you have out of whack expectations and must be overrating the quality of our team.

So much this. I’m fine with Acres getting dropped, but 2 more should have gone with him.
now they’ll prob just switch them over and we will get the same crap

Acres wasnt dropped though. J Lo doesn't have the guts to drop (Conca aside). It was a structural change for meek who came in to cover an injured Darcy who shouldn't have played. Farcical!
Clutching at straws there.
So many passengers it’s actually painful.
serious surgery needed on this list
laziest performance and worst game I've seen all year
Logue, Serong Moose Cerrra Brayshaw were okay
cant think of too many more
rubbish
Banfield, Crowden, Colyer, Shultz just aren't any good
How's how many times Sydney had the ball and strolled around with zero pressure being applied ?
pathetic

Longy wishing for a functioning forward line for Xmas.

I think watching it gives a different perspective. 1st quarter was excellent skills and effort with some dockery s**t chucked in. 2nd and 3rd quarters were just blokes jogging around or not competing. Last quarter the effort increased a bit but Sydney were in cruise mode

I’m getting flashbacks to ’17 and ‘18 where we went to s**t after the bye. A little more delayed this year but I can see a similar pain on the horizon

We don't even need an Autopsy thread for this match - the Vent thread will be our solace for the next week!
The season is gone.
Start to change things up.
Crowden onto the middle
Henry on to a wing.
put Walker as a medium forward and tell him to tackle/and chase like he’s Chris Mayne who’d rather tackle than score goals.

Nah, me no think so
And that's part of the problem. He's played ok this year. Yet he was moved aside for meek and others stayed in the team ahead of him. No integrity at selection.

Clutching at straws where, the small thing I touched in after saying it was unacceptable? Im not sure how much harsher you want me to be but thats as negative as I’ll get

you don’t drop a wing for a ruck.

Random thoughts:
- Building a list is easy when the AFL give you priority access to players like Heeney no matter where you finish (Bitter much? Yes)
- At least we fought the game out in the last qtr. Can't simultaneously bemoan we don't fight games out while decrying last qtr as junk time
- Fixed the slow start today at least. If we started like that every week we'd be a few extra wins on the ladder
- Did someone give Banfield the mistaken impression he's in the team for his silky skills and creativity? Because those two times he gave up chasing in the 4th are unforgivable for a player on the edge whose only strength is his athleticism
- Pearce was magnificent on Buddy. With an uninterrupted career he'd be the best KPD in the game. Logue was good too when he moved on him
- That last 5 minutes was enough for me to think Henry is a winger, not a deep small forward
- Colyer is a waste of a spot. I'm encouraged JLo made the call on Acres, now do the same with Colyer. Barely gets involved and then when he does he butchers the kick even though he's supposed to be one of our most skillful players at training
- Tucker instantly looked better back in the midfield, he's clearly not a defender. Play him as a mid where he can push forward and have shots on goal, or don't play him at all
- Meek is about as good as a back-up ruck as you could hope for. Hope we can keep hold of him

Acres played pinch hit ruck regularly.

Then Henry would never get a game.
He's one of the most useless bloke on our team. We've just got to hope he comes good.
We already looked tired and they wore us out completely by playing the lead up chip game. We need more options running through there and also find some guys that are prepared to run and defend to try and win the ball back more often. We don't have the right sort of players.
I completely agree with your sentiments. If the coaching group aren’t thinking about testing out some different player use and structure they need a bomb under them.
