At the selection tableNext weekend our blokes will be expected to play in the spirit of the Anzacs. What we've witnessed today is light years off that - how the hell do we manufacture such spirit inside 6 days?
He's very pear shaped... and not in a good wayHis shape looks wrong, I can't pinpoint it, but what has happened to our poor Ollie![]()

Which means they would have been given a pass out.We're coming off a 9-day break too.
When do questions start getting asked of our fitness regime?
I say another bad loss next week in ANZAC round and the week after that, and Kochie and KT start an internal review of everything and everyone, where nobody's job is safe at the end of said review.
We had a shocking 2015, 2016 looks like it's going to be more of the same. Instead of letting it fester and hoping it'll sort it self they need to proactively and aggressively go about it and be ruthless about it.
I have little hope that Hinkley will make any changes after listening to his post match.
I'm sure if I sit there and find any players to listen to after the shit they served up to fans today, that it'll be more of the same crap.
Kochie and KT need to step in soon.
Running to the opponent who is 2 feet away with the ball would be a good start.Nobody can run if they don't know where to run to

That's not part of the plan though
So many of our players are playing timidly at the moment (or unmotivated as Schulzy mentioned above) to be the one who goes in runs their guts out, gets the ball and cleanly clears the contest, lay tackles, makes repeat efforts, keeps their concentration AND makes a decisive forward push under their own volition (rather than pass the buck with an under pressure handball to another player).
There were countless examples of this today
The only thing I got out of today was Jasper's performance. He was the only one with the cojones to run, carry and deliver confidently - I thought he was fantastic in a back 6 that was completely swamped for huge amounts of the game.
- 3-4 Port players sitting off Giants, trying to harry them rather than going balls to the wall and causing a spillage - why not when you're that far down...
- Getting stuck in no man's land between switching and playing tight on your man
- 'Moving the play on' with a quick handball - but really just taking the pressure off your shoulders and lumping it on to your mate's --> Looking at you Hoff!
Apart from that christ we're a long way of the mark and I don't know what we can do about it.
Just off chance.Elephant in the room. We are slow, can't run, lack core strength, can't stick tackles. Teams out muscle us in the middle and glide past us on the outside. Its been this way for 18 months now.
We, and He can't live off 3 months of football at the start of 2014 any more. Since then, we've been nowhere physically.
When do questions start getting asked of our fitness regime? We still look and play like a pack of middle distance runners.
Pittard and Hombsch are our only afl standard backmen. There are arguments for and against with Broadbent but I think he is an afl standard player. Apart from debutants and guys with less than 50 games, the other defenders are not afl standard. I'm hoping that the boys we have in the ranks will become afl standard soon.
Nope, not enough weights to build up size and strength.Too many weights, not enough speed work.
Of course you can blame him if he has ****ed up the fitness preparation of the players. Falloon ****ed it up and got the arse. Burgess is accountable for his share, just like everyone else.Cant blame burgo - its not his fault they are a bunch of lazy (mentally soft) from runners who rely on the same 4/5 players every week doing all the work.
That's simplistic.Cant blame burgo - its not his fault they are a bunch of lazy (mentally soft) from runners who rely on the same 4/5 players every week doing all the work.
That's simplistic.
If they were properly fit, they probably wouldn't look as lazy.
