Our first win

Well it's certainly not going to be next week.

We're now in our equal fourth longest losing streak. Lose next week, and it's our equal third.

We're in Damien Drum territory. And, given the age of our squad, it's only going to get worse.

There's somethings that are clicking...some patently aren't.

The efficiency in the forward line is killing us.
Weller did some stuff but mostly meh.

Alex Pearce is the plank to build on. Kid is a jet

Yeah we are fkd, time to clean out those at the top who have guided to one of the worst lists in the league.

Don't worry Clay get on board the Foxes train...3 hours and we are having the party of all Parties!!

Has been for years. Everything is too similar to what has gone before to believe that something has changed at the coaching level.

There's some hope for the future, but that future is a few years away.

Yeah i dunno. the kids are all showing stuff in parts

Fyfe, Sandi and Bennell in there today and we roll over the top of them.

We've kept close to two very good teams the past couple of weeks and would have won them if not for errant kicking. We're our own worst enemy at the moment. Just need one clinical iceman who can lead the forwards.

Of course, but I saw Hawks annihilate Richmond in a quarter without Hodge, Mitchell, Frawley and Roughead.

GWS obviously much better than Richmond but we are struggling hard. We lost to Carlton FFS. I can't see us winning more than six games, most of them at home, against similar bottom four clubs.

Isn't this what we've needed since 2013?

Probably right.
We've played some good footy in parts. Can't string enough together.

Pav, Walters, Sutcliffe, Ballantyne butchering the ball in front...not the kids, the experience.

Someone needs to get Walters by the throat and cut that lairising bull shit out of his game...

Agree.

Our list looks utterly ridiculous. And it's only going to get worse: in 2 years time A. Pearce maybe the only AFL quality tall on our list.

"Best available list strategy doesn't work", at least for us - we've never been a destination club who can attract talent to fill the holes our recruitment decisions leave in the list.
 
Yep, and we tried to get them but they either didn't want to join us or were duds or were made an example of.

So in other words our list strategy has failed.
Now we're in deep s***

"Best available" sounds good on paper but in our context it was always a risky approach - there's not many players who've historically wanted to move West, so I don't know why Bond and co. thought we could lure all these ready-made talls over to cover up the cracks they've left in the list.

Each year we get more and more desperate and I think the other AFL clubs know it in their dealings with us - that's probably while they play hard ball, and why wouldn't they -- we won't get McCarthy cheap, esp. if Pav retires that could really force our hand.

Yeah, sticking to 'best available' so rigidly has unbalanced the list, in hindsight. I don't think Ross has ever believed in it. The first couple of years he was at the club I remember he said that was our approach, he never sounded committed to it. We need to go to the next couple of drafts with a 'best available for the positions we need the most'. I'm happy to spend two years in the wilderness as long as the club can draft the players we need with better picks.
 
Can't see one on our current efforts.

You can all blame me. We wont win until I'm back in Australia. Stepped out the country to go on holidays and I'm not back until round 7.
Some players have gone on holidays with me.
Alright guys, i got back late last night just missing the game.

We will beat the Hawks in Tassie. Bookmark this....
