We wont be there at the completion of the round. But on a brighter note no matter how far we fall on Sunday we will still be ahead of Port.I can’t believe we are in the eight with 1 week the go and only 10 wins.

We're like a cockroach after nuclear fallout ?
You’ve been told
Good:
Hopefully this continues to highlight the issues at the club and creates a movement for change.
Fogarty - exceptional again in a losing team.
Smith/Seedman actually giving a s**t.
Bad:
Douglas - continues to prove he is cooked.
Gibbs - no intensity whatsoever. Our worst trade ever..get him out. 12 disposals for a midfielder is diabolical.
Sloane - poor again.
Lynch - pathetic again, needs to be moved on. This whole 'connector' thing is garbage. He is glacially slow, doesn't tackle and is not accumulating any more.
Jones - didn't watch the second half but his first was shockingly bad. I assume he improved once we actually played him in his position in the midfield.
Milera - no intensity whatsoever. Seems like he will always be a flaky player for us.
Murphy - really shits me. He always put himself in a position for a mark instead of crumbing. He also looks terrified when he has a set shot and his field kicking is horrendous.
Lol Mackay - just pathetic as always and represents what is wrong with this football club. 0 tackles and 15 disposals. Such a Mackay game that seems to be rewarded with continual selection and another contract by the sounds of it. I can't wait for the day the Mackay era ends.
Ugly:
This football club - this is worst state I have ever seen the list/football department. Yet we remain in the 8, what a joke. They will probably pat themselves on the back for making it if they do with minimal changes going forward. I am honestly so disillusioned with this club. We have bled coaches for years and replace them with hacks, i.e. Milburn, Pods, ROK, Teague, Francou, and others. Look at the competition, Collingwood have winners across every line of their football department.
Pyke - I have been defending him this year saying that he is being hamstrung by his assistants/Burton but there comes a point where he needs to take responsibility and make changes. His selection philosophy is disgusting and leads to disgruntled youngsters who by the time they get games they are under immense pressure to keep their spot or they will lose it to a Mackay/Douglas etc. He needs to go I think, whether it is this year or next year, the time has come. He continually blames players for not executing rather than the coaches for not instructing them properly, or having a gameplan that suits the players. I have had enough of him and want him gone.

Godden lied.
I do agree that selection was to get Sauce his 200th game over strategy.
The matchday evidence suggests this.

At least you can acknowledge it. You fell for the bullshit we spin on a weekly basis.
jenny61_99 your turn? Perhaps an apology? It appears my commonsense was just fine and it was you people that were wrong.

Why was it so important for our Club to get Sauce to 200 games, its not like he played all of them for us either?
I agree the strategy excuse is bs.

Perhaps it was to show how good Grundy is and we must get him as he can pants two ruckmen. It's like our players don't want to make the finals and.just want the season to be over .. I know I feel that way.
Serious? It’s because our club is plastic and internally they wouldn’t want to upset the group by dropping Jacobs for his 200th.

Could have got round this by saying we will rest ROB for finals and play sauce for his 200th. But as it turns out we cant beat the Pies seconds side so either way club looks dumb.

Who's our next captain?
If Sloane and Walker do what Boak has done - step back and focus on their own game and fitness - who would the candidates be?

I am being serious, I guess you have validated my thoughts on just how plastic we are.
We literally gift games to players, I dont respect every 200 game player at our Club because some of them dont deserve to have been on our list for that long or have played the number of games that they have.
If Sauce was say a premiership player at our Club I could understand us doing this only if this was to be his last year as well with us.

Doedee for sure.
I’d also be tempted to offer Luko a leadership role as part of our offer to get him.

Pyke did the same after the gf, blamed the players.
Our boys are a bit soft. When it doesn't go our way early we rarely turn it around.

And a consistent feature of most losses we have .....Slaone cannot play his style of footy in the midfield for a full 4 qtrs .....great player, but he's still quite slight
Really want to see Sloane on a HBF next season .....I'll sound like a broken record, but trade Matt Crouch, keep Brad

I wasn't as big on Luko at the Draft last year, as many ......but he's a great replacement for Lynch as a 3rd tall
Next minute Luko sits in the SANFL whilst Lynch continues to play.
