We have now discovered our mid field depth is lacking- CEY not up to AFL, Greeny not up to AFL - we miss M Crouch and Sauce is over rated

I see a rebuild coming on.
Sloane is gone, Lynch possibly as well. Betts on the slide, Sauce, Gibbs, JJ all hitting 30 yo soon, and still having talent leave year on year.
Better get some good draft picks and get some local lads in.

I also think we need to explore this in more depth.
Total injury list including the pre-season and 2018:
Alex Keath (ankle)
Riley Knight (ankle)
Sam Gibson (hamstring)
Matt Crouch (hamstring)
Kyle Cheney (hamstring)
Lachlan Murphy (hamstring)
Eddie Betts (hamstring)
Brad Crouch (groin)
Andrew McPherson (groin)
Tom Lynch (side strain)
Andy Otten (achilles)
Rory Sloane (foot strain, still playing)
Taylor Walker (foot)
Jackson Edwards (quad)
Curtly Hampton (adductor)
Myles Poholke (hip)
Jordan Gallucci (interrupted pre-season)
Hugh Greenwood (interrupted pre-season)
Wayne Milera (interrupted pre-season)
Are 19 injuries over the pre-season and four rounds of football, including 5 hamstrings, considered normal?

We have just given Betts and JJ long term contracts
Too bad our playing group didnt get the memo.
I started writing us off the second I knew we had re-hired Ben Hart. We may as well have completed the masterpiece by getting Bickley back as our forwards coach. I know it's risky to take a punt on new coaching talent but it's ******* suicide to revert to a group of people who have already failed. In the blink of an eye we are back to the mid-table rubbish we dished up in 2013/14 and there's nobody to blame but the club itself.
Isn't that the definition on insanity? When you keep making the same mistakes over and over again but expect different results.

Yep fitness staff must come under the blow torch
*, how bad are we missing Matt Crouch? His Sam-Mitchell like decision making and kicking in the midfield is the core of a lot of our game. Arguably him and Laird are doing the work that makes AFC footy look like AFC footy. Brad complements this. Greenwood and CEY try hard on the inside stuff but drift out of the game at times, do weak, drifty little handballs that accomplish nothing and turn the ball over. At this stage we can carry one if we had few-to-no injuries in a Menagola-type midfield cameo role but as the main midfield-men: it's simply not working. Lyons would have been nice here....

You can only do what you can do
Six day break off Etihad and a bunch weren't ready to play - Walker, Sloane, Talia, Betts, Lynch.
It's happened before and it will happen again.
We all know it.
We need to end this now.
Yes we can blindly keep pushing on, we might even make finals, but we will not win the premiership and we all know this same game will repeat itself.
No matter how good or bad they played tonight the careers of dmac, Dougie and JJ should simply be ended. We need to be proactive and usher in the next generation.
I'd rather loose in the short term and have a chance at ultimate glory than die the slow death of mediocrity.
Sorry but I don't buy that.
We were fumbly all night, weren't up for a contest, zero composure with the ball and lacked effort.
Last week we won easily in the end. It wasn't like it was a hard slog all game.
Would like your opinion on our forward structure currently.

Send that list to Burton so he can conduct a thorough investigation.

Can we please for the love of Godra stop playing anyone not fit???!
Brisbane were riddled with injuries when Burton left. It's taken him a full year but he's ****ed up oursquad now too. Needs to fall on his sword.
I say we burn the SCG game, swap out about 5 or 6 players, even more, play one of the reserve fill ins even. But have everyone there to watch on the sidelines.
Sack the fitness coach, cancel the mental coach contracts, that was a joke.
The board needs to sharpen their pencil, too many “should not happen”s are happening. Chapman to step down if he doesn’t have to balls to stand up for the club against itself.
