Priority pick 2 welcome
Next week let’s actually play a key forward so we have a bail out kick target and target in the 50

Emotional letdown from last fortnight is disappointing as it is predictable.
We probably tried to play a game plan with no tall forward line that our current skill level doesn't cater for. Would have preferred to see Steevo back for another week.

So we sacked the coach. What’s the excuse now?
Pitiful performance.

Sack the coach.
Is it worth a Sunday 5 hour round trip/twilight to potentially be humiliated by * of all team?

Other than McKay, that was intolerable, sad and thoroughly unenjoyable.
Watching that was genuinely bad for my mental and physical health.

Insipid is right, McKay was wonderful and nothing else at all to add.
Fascinating to see how many changes we make next week.
Probably can’t drop 15 of them- could we?

Hard to know off the back of the VFL bye, but Bonar has had a stinker. Dawson for him, have a look at the goat

Yeah well as long as we don’t bring in Atu, Walker, Turner or Mahony. I’ll be happy
We should have setup to defend in the first qtr instead we went out all guns blazing, that's fine when we play at Docklands, but doesn't worst into a gale.
Hall, gets plenty of it and tries to do stuff, but i think Stevo was better in the role last week.
JZ was once a brute, now he gets moved out of the contest by any opposing player, kick a few goals, but could have done a whole lot more, still one of his better games though i guess.
Jy couldn't get near it, go exposed for his lack of speed and strength, when he did get it we had the lowest disposal efficiency out of everyone on the team, then started belting blokes, this is the bloke people think should be our next leader.
Bonar, he is a big strong athletic lad, but no footy brain, and we played him on Gunston, just silly.
JHF, wtf, cost himself another $50k today, unless he had some sort of injury then that was a weak effort.
Spicer....... VFL for the rest of the year.
CJJ, i think his ruckwork especially in the middle needs ALOT of work, however i think he is a pretty smart player, did some nice things, still a long way to go.
Bmac, animal.
Thought Stevo was ok.
L young goes at it 100%, can we get his brother too plz.
JZ was once a brute, now he gets moved out of the contest by any opposing player, kick a few goals, but could have done a whole lot more, still one of his better games though i guess.
overall i think we all though we might be a chance today, however got spanked in the inside 50 count again, unlike Richmond though the hawks kicked straight.
back to the drawing board.

Agreed. Larkey back too
Back to the mean again right at home in the 40+ deficit zone where we belong because this team is the absolute pits and needs a serious reshuffle of players.
god willing Clarko comes over because we need something to lure better senior players in that can escalate this team because we gotta shed the remaining deadwood here, get the younger blokes into a serious pre-season of building their bodies up, and get a better game plan than what we’ve had for the last 2-3 years.
This team is hard as * to watch most weeks, our last 2 weeks were indeed a sugar hit from the drama leading up to sacking the coach.

Give up 8 goals in the first quarter then gave ourselves no opportunity to get back into the game by terrible hand passing, poor kicking and timid around the ball with no hunger to win the pill.

Every player except McKay can flush their own heads in the dunnies
Are they heading to the Hawthorn rooms to sing the song the 3 cheats?

LDU
Young, LMac, Powell, Scott, Zurhaar battled hard and were ok.
Skills were an absolute horror show today. Went way too attacking in that first quarter, very little defensive accountability against a well drilled side. We are well aware of the fitness issues hope that is a key focus in the pre season we were so flat footed at stages today just allowed easy ball movement that never really gave our defenders much hope.

No Larkey. First quarter they kicked straight and were gifted some from frees, we were headless chooks in our forward 50. Heads dropped, discipline dropped, but ultimately we kept churning and didn't let this blow out like we would have done previously. To keep the margin what it was after quarter time is respectable enough. At the end of the day it was a bit of a s**t game but not embarrassing.

They ran the same stoppage play (either Mitchell or Newcombe peeling off the back) all game and we allowed it every time.
