Surely taking the p*ss with Young. I'd drop Walker or Stevo well before Young
He’s a liability in contests. He’s a liability with ball in hand. He goes to ground all the time. He knocks over teammates leaving opponents free to kick easy goals.

He’s not good enough.
 
never again jack ******* Mahony and atu in the side

Young not far behind in needing to be dropped

Positives not many
No injuries I guess so far
LDU now he’s starting to get tagged in this game too
CCJ
Hayden showed good intent
Zurhaar dangerous
Young was good give it a spell
 
Our lack of talented, confident players is just embarrassing. We look 3rd rate. Stevenson would not stand out in a mid-tier country league. I cannot see where considerable improvement is going to come from. JHF may be our most accomplished footballer already.

We're seriously terrible at basics that you need to be good or great at to be a competitive AFL team, this is all about the last touch execution and also paying attention to how the play is developing both from what your own teammates are doing and what opposition teams are doing. The former is fine, we're a new team really lot of young guys need to familiarise with their teammates so that you're in sync to know what they tend to do, but the latter can be remedied by just studying the opposite hard enough, and know who you're up against.

Combine uneducated players with just basic executions on that last touch before the action is complete, creates fumble footy which we are guilty of.

And the last big problem is fading, we're obviously not four quarters fit, can't even remember the last time we were. A four quarter effort is our pass mark and that's rare to get, even in the Sydney game where we arguably should have won, we didn't put four quarters in, we put in 3.75. Not good enough. Today we put in 2.5, good first half of the first quarter, good first and third and a sliver of the last.

We're a long way off from coming good, this won't be fixed anytime soon. These boys have a lot to learn.
 
Cool that we hang our hats on a game plan which is go through the corridor as much as possible, and that yields us barely 45 points most weeks.
Halfway through the third quarter we moved through the corridor quickly and owing to the structure had no one to kick to so had to slow it up. There's a reason reports are flying in that players are questioning the game plan.
 
By my count this will be the third decent Lachie Young game this season that has people going "never again, delist" afterwards.
