Yes the movement down the wings can be as slow as watching paint dry. Seeing our forwards flood our defensive 50 leaving no one to kick to if we gain possession frustrates me no end. I thought the idea of playing GAJ forward was for him to remain in our F50 ensuring that there is a target at all times. Plenty of things that need fixing.

These last few years have reminded me just how hard flags are to win. 07-11 team made it look so bloody easy.
So hard to win.
So hard to win.
I was in furious agreement last season. Boring.
The first half of this season was refreshing. Fun to watch. Much faster ball movement.
Then we went back to the old ways. Boring (and not productive).
The last two finals showed we can still play the faster more chaos game with forward pressure. That needs to be refined even further next year.
If it does return footy will be fun to watch again.

I thought it’s 6. 3 is barely any change.
And people say we aren’t consistent

it's the pits right now
slow boring defensive game style
an old stale coach who doesnt change
continually topping up with retreads
inevitable finals failure
trade period is where i'll be the most nervous, cos every washed up hack will be associated with us and it shows the direction the club is going next year
feels like groundhog day where we just keep repeating 2016

This year just lept to the top of the table for me, this was a great team that missed out completely by playing a boring, slow style of play. FFS GWS are in the Grand Final? How frustrating is that?

Through their public messaging, Chris Scott, Brian Cook and Colin Cater seem intent on driving a wedge between the fans and the club.
Chris Scott in particular seems to be only out for himself.
As fans, we're being told how we should feel and how we should define success (3rd out of 18 is great!!!!), but we have absolutely no right to question anything or any right to ask for clarification on certain coaching moves, as we're all uneducated halfwits (minor paraphrasing).
That's pretty frustrating.

I will show my age here.
I remember going to Kardinia Park with Dad and watching Polly handball to Billy for a goal...
For me the 70's and 80's were worse than now.
To have to put up with the "Commentators" calling the team hangbaggers because they played the ball and other teams punched their way to Premierships. Making fun of us, calling the Nankervis brothers the "Leyland brothers" cos they passed across the ground to a player in better position, like they do now.
In the 70's we were a joke. Then the 80's we let Hafey go, and Williams.
It hurt.
Now we have a coach that cant win finals and hard decisions have to be made but atleast we have three more flags to go on with and no one makes fun of us anymore.
If we had been able to retain Bomber we may well have had three or four more flags, but they just have to make some hard decisions and we can be on top again but they better hurry before all the good players retire.

Agreed. So frustrating watching Richmond trounce gws. We threw away a premiership this year. I hope the boys were all watching this and hurting bad. If this isn’t motivation to put in that extra 5% next year nothing is.
Watching Caddy get his second premiership medal.
We had to play our cards right in the second half. Oh well.

We blew everything the moment they made the stupendously stupid decision to omit Stanley because of 'rain'........
It altered our course, and ensured defeat.

As opposed to the Tigers 14 W's
Hawkins played last week easily could be us right now
That too. It's like we are a poker player who can get a good hand, but just can't play it.

He was a passenger today like the majority of his career.
Nice for him that he has as many medals as Shannon Byrnes and Josh Hunt though.
