I don't even care about losing when I go. For the first time ever it bores me to watch the footy. I feel like a neytral at times
totally agree with you! For the first time ever I left a game of football at half time against the blues last week. Most boring game style ever, nothing exciting! The only time I get a little excited is when Dahl gets the ball and runs with it. Like you it's not about losing, its more about the game style and effort that is bugging me.

Uninspiring game style yes, lack of footy smarts (incl inexperience) yes, lack of cohesion yes, even lack of ability yes in some cases, but it's a bit harsh to imply there's little or no effort.

Agree with this. Effort is not the issue. We are either to young, inexperienced, slowed down or simply not good enough at the moment but In general the effort has been quite good

I'm not sure how you could leave at half time against Carlton as I thought we had a great first half and with our run out of defence and open forward line it certainly wasn't boring. Now the second half was the opposite but we all have to hang in and support our team because when the team is down is when they most need our support.

You are rating Howard, Tutt and JJ as successes??????

How badly are we going. You may well be right in the long run but it seems way to early to credit them as good picks. Howard in particular is a maybe at best. Has he even got a BOG for Willi in all his time there?

At this stage only Dahlhaus can be put down as a good choice. Time will tell on the others.
Still a little early to judge Howard however we did pay a huge price for him, specially when you consider the players still available at his pick (Fythe, Menzel, Gunston, Sam Reid). Imagine instead of Howard/Tutt we snagged Gunston/Reid....hmmm

Just shows how important this years draft is to us, get it wrong and could be a while before we're back in contention

Gunston is not very good tbh.

I know he's playing in a good side and even I could kick goals in the Hawthorn forward line but he looks alright to me...
Just wondering if the old fart is going to get stuck into a "Team on the Rise"
Losing to the Northern Blues? Noticed McCartney had a bit of a subtle crack at Nursing Home Sheehan's call on the 12 players who last played in the 10 prelim!Said those players are a shadow of their former selves( any footy scribe worth his salt could detect that!)Not sure Gunstonwould get a kick with our poor ball use and ball movement.
( even Dunstall, Lockett and Coleman would struggle)
