Autopsy Pitiful Pies Pulverised by Dees

Takes 30-35 players to win a flag, we’d be lucky to have any more than 15.

Time to make some hard calls and be bold during the trade period.

I’m embarrassed to see us sitting 7th.
 
Disappointed, but not surprised sadly. We've got more problems than lack of personnel. The one thing that has been OK this year has been our back line, and tonight, even that failed us.

We seem to keep trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Our coaches are out of ideas, and we've got a decimated list (which didn't have great depth to begin with). It looks like the mental toll of this year is taking it out on the players and coaches TBH. We're done for this year.
 
Cleanout?

Buckley will retain Mayne, Phillips, WHE, Varcoe, Thomas etc... pumping games into them to get to that 2020 flag

It's embarrassing.

Encouraging to see that Cox is gone but most of the supporters here could've told Bucks that years ago.
 
Not good viewing.
if I can take any positive it is that the compressed fixture has put our club under the pump and exposed our weaknesses for all to see. Just need the club to have enough guts to act now.

Cold comfort I know, but you've probably revealed what we are all about to find out that Melbourne are suddenly a pretty good side. They've finally got their act together and have a sniff of finals now so watch them ride this juggernaut. Unfortunately my team will be next to feel the pain.

Sorry mate, I can't agree. The Dees are a bottom 6 quality side. They've beaten the Roos, Crows, Swans, Hawks, Blues and Suns before tonight. Not a contender amongst them.
 
I hate to go back to this, but I knew that grand final loss in 2018 will scar the players, and that a lot of players in that team will never be the same again after that. Every now and then a few of them may play near their best, but not consistently. We need to stop kidding ourselves and rebuild, starting with getting rid of Bucks.
 
Just need a whole refresh. No ideas this team and burdened with baggage from the boys club culture Eddy has created. Ed needs to hand the reins over for the good of the club and need to clear out our assistant coaches at a minimum. Selection committee is a joke - just keeps playing favourites.

That was woeful. With all due respect to our opponents, who outplayed us in every facet of the game, the Dees are a nothing side. They've picked up their wins over the worst sides in the comp and are one of the most average teams going around. They made us look like a bottom 2 VFL side.

The negatives: where do I start? Non existent midfield. Non existent forward line. Defence is a shambles. Team selection makes about as much sense as adding coriander to any dish. Everyone played poorly tonight and everyone was beaten.

Positives? I can't find any.

I hope Mihocek and Reid are okay.

Totally disagree about the coriander. Can’t have a Pho without it.

We can all dream for bucks to be gone and all the coaches but it won’t happen.

We will be bottom 8 again next year, trying to make finals playing old vfl players instead of bottoming out, delaying a rebuild we desperately need.

Big calls should be made now not end of next year.

We are basically the doggies without a flag.

This team isn't scarred. The Crows of 17 were scarred. 2018 was an overachievement that solidified the coachs belief that his system works above all others and has no desire to change the way we play.
 
Was very hard to watch. We are at the end of a very tough run given the time between games and travel so maybe that explains a part of it. But we seem to have a long list of players out of form. Grundy can't jump or mark. Phillips has lost the ability to find the ball and the few times he does he looks surprised. Dunn is done. WHE can't get near it. Wills is exactly what he always was - an honest tried with very limited ability.

I don't know how much of this lies with the coach but numbers at the contest doesn't work anymore. Other teams don't do it and it means we get outnumbered two metres from the contest every time - nice simple uncontested possessions for them.
 
I've never in my life seen such a great divide between the defence midfield and forward lines.. in my life.. we are the ugliest team to watch.. you look at the WC to Melbourne games.. that's 5 games.. there's barely a qrt of good quality football we've played.

He let them play one extra behind the ball to pick off every entry all night long. That's on the coach.
 
Not sure what people expected after what we've been through. Some of it of our own making, some of it not.

I'm critical of the club for keeping guys on the list who were past it or not up to it, and as our injuries mounted (again) we got caught short. That's inexcusable.

But the barriers put in our way by the AFL/pandemic have been ridiculous. And I dont see the point of comparing us to other clubs, as most have faced some crazy situations. But then, others have been playing in front of their fans for weeks, training and rehabbing at club headquarters, and going home every night. Advantage much?

A shocking year. Looking ahead to 2021, and a refresh.

Usually I'm pretty positive but our forward line is trash. Reid and Cameron shouldn't play again. Stephenson should never miss again.

We don't have a Forward Line

So Instead of us all complaining on here let’s all send an email to the club and demand change. Change in admin, coaches and recruiting. They won’t do anything unless they know how pissed off we are especially Eddie and bucks.

Could this really work, I hate the posts blaming players especially young players. Like this "Callum brown should never play for us again" damn he is a kid who goes hard at ball but is in a side that has no direction. I agree lets call out the coaches and administrators as they have had resources clubs like Melbourne and Nth Melbourne could only dream about
