I'd love Ross Lyon's 100% honest assessment of each moment, and each player's "efforts", throughout the entire game in the game review we held on Monday. He would've been scathing, as would his Freo leadership group whom he charges with ensuring his standards are upheld on field.
So it appears we don't have the coach or the leadership group capable of doing the above. There is a simple answer to the "we don't have the answers" talk.

As others have said, the time for talk is over. Whether Monday's apparently brutal game review has the desired effect will be known tomorrow night at 7.50pm.

I can handle the fact we may be beaten by a better team filled with more talented and experienced leaders. I can't accept that we could be out worked, especially given recent performances and results.

I hate Richmond with a passion, but at least they have blokes out on the field who will pull everyone and give them a right spray at quarter time before the staff get out there.

Something we don't have, everyone just hangs their heads and accepts the ass reaming.

That didn't help them much in the third quarter couple of weeks ago.

This is exactly what happens when you have too many indians. No one including the coach is ready and able to be brutally honest and scathing on their peers. The lack of leadership and more importantly, lack of culture is now coming home to roost. Games like Brisbane will haunt us for future seasons if this isnt nipped in the bud over the next 7 weeks.

I cant help but think this all comes back to the coach. Why would our blokes want to upset the cart when they are all getting games with minimal effort? Thats the elephant in the room for mine.

You can hardly expect him to say :

"we were shithouse and I and XXXX or XXXX should bear some responsibility for failing to show up and we make a stand and we should be dropped"

Petrie should shut up and lead the way instead of being part of the problem. I love Drewie but he needs to take responsibility and demand individuals do their part and if they don't then let them know. You're a gentleman Drew but right now we need a ####.

Just heard Petrie audio on 360

Robbo says he hears it every second week. Called him a broken record

Says Scott made no statement at the selection table
Never thought i would be saying i agree with slobbo, but there you are, my analogy, " a broken clock is right twice a day "

I hate to point the finger at any individual without knowing any circumstances, but with so many issues apparently unable to be dealt with until quarter time breaks, if at all, I have to ask the question - WTF is the deal with our Runner?
He's too lazy to get out there and deliver messages I'm guessing

Couldn’t agree more, maybe this was the week that they cried wolf once to often, the excuses are old, we are pretenders and any of the crap they spew up in the media frustrates me further. The cattle getting switched in and out are all a product of the same mindset at Arden St ATM and are simply gonna serve up the same product.

I have a whopping big new telly coming at the moment thats supposed to arrive in the morning, and i couldnt give a rats ass if it doesnt come till next week because the way I feel at the moment I suspect I will only be watching another pathetic effort form out team.

I honestly cannot think of a time I have been so frustrated watching NM games at the moment and shouting angrily at the game. The wife has even put me on notice about my behaviour whilst the game is on.

I think I will just quietly go out into the garage tomorrow night and sharpen all the chainsaw chains,

just keep me away from the kitchen knives.

who an i kidding, come fri night I will be set up in front of the telly just the same as any other match day and battle through another 120 mins on gutrenching self torture.

anyway rant over.....

Under Laidley we were shit, but you could at least turn up to the game and know they were going to have a crack.

If Dean Laidley had the talent and resources Brad Scott had, we wouldn't be throwing in such pathetic performances.

Same here. I dont like how i act in front of my 5 and 1 year old either lately when im watching the game. Might drink a few stubbies tomorrow night and try and just enjoy the game a bit more. Easier said than done with this mob though.

I just cant handle the insipid effort put forth and the excuses from players and coach trotted out en masse for the week after.
