I have to admit, Cameron isn’t really proving that he’s the man for the job.... a draw against st kilda, getting home against the lions but very unconvincingly and then tonight...

I get the injuries - it’s a huge chunk of our game winning players out, but the gap between our injured players and the replacements is extremely concerning .... yes they are kids so cut them some slack but it just feels that we really lack heart/want to prove ourselves....

It isn’t a coincidence their blokes run to the right spots and block the right spots. The know their opposition and are coached to nullify and are coached with strategy. We have absolutely no system and are just random batches of raw talent.

That bit I do agree with to some extent. It seemed often when we got a clearance we'd fumble it, allowing a Cats player to then close and tackle or spoil, but when they got the clearance they had a saloon passage out of the contest. It's not as clearcut as 'it always happens', but enough for concern.

Wasn’t Leon tonight. That was entirely on the players.

Terrible decision making, terrible execution. Cogs went at 32% disposal efficiency FFS. That’s not the coach. That’s just a pi$$ poor game from someone who we know is better than that.

The number of kicks directly to the opposition is not the coach. Bombing it long to an outnumber is not the coach. Fumbling and bumbling and leaving the ball behind is not the coach.

The way they played (in the bits I watched) was just pathetic - and that’s the players themselves.

 

[dlanod]

Can you blame a coach for the players not being able to pick up a ball?

To some degree yes IMO.

 

[dlanod]

Just a joke, settle down.

I'll take that at face value then but you do know what that book is about, right?

It's not far off calling someone a Hitler apologist, it's just that for some reason Stalin doesn't get as bad press.

My concern is it’s not just the young guys making the mistakes. It’s all of them.

Mate please, the spirit of that post was Boxer being a blind follower, it had zero to do with Hitler!! I mean FFS.

Guys... Seriously we have 9 out of our best 10 out. I love snookers and have had many a beer with him. But with a full squad we would not be having this discussion

We are injury cursed and that is 100% the reason. This is not Leon's fault

**** me YES!

If the rumors are true and they had already written down a loss, then why werent our draft picked kids out there instead of back up spuds?

We wouldnt?

We have struggled since round 1.

We play other clubs depth instead of our own youth.

It wasnt just our replacement players tonight it was all of them.

Seems we couldn’t lay a tackle and hold it either.

Hello you !!!! Sime, the injuries really are a massive difference. You take Cameron, Scully, Kelly, Lobb, Williams, Greene out of any side and the struggle.

But yes tonight sucked

Had heard a few on twitter etc saying that those extra outs were ins but with where we are sitting and the short turn around to the cheat ground....

As i said probably bull but you never know.

My issue is moreso when we have a big injury toll, that we just don’t put up any fight - I was expecting a loss, Geelong at the Cattery is one of the toughest trips, but when we look to our leader (Leon) to get the lads up for this and put a performance in for the fans.... it’s just not up to scratch IMO.

 

[KevDawg]

Funny, I was looking at the run up to the BYE thinking we’d win most of the games, even a weakened Crows side, but now, gee, who knows?

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

the cheat ground....

???

 

[Colonial]

???

Its what its calles by other Victorians. Cattery.

Im in a bad mood so anyone involved in tonight cops it

Assuming he means the Cattery ... strong home ground umpiring.

Time to look for new coach

Nothing surer than we'll come out firing at home after that. I think both the WA sides are better than most think, but our record back home after getting smacked is pretty awesome.

 

[Andre the Giant]

So what changes can we expect for next week?

Apparently Jezza comes back and possibly Lobb.

From NEAFL one can only look to guys like Mohr, Cumming, Bonar, Sproule.

Buntine and Daniels need more footy, Taylor not ready yet.

On face value Jezza, Lobb, Bonar in for Shipley, Keeffe and Buckley.

Well and truly over Sam Reid even though I know he’s just a fill in. He just adds nothing.
