None of our players out - don't you rate Treloar and Varcoe?
They are best list in the competition and flag favourites and you can't get any joy from how well we played last night.
Sorry we didn't get flogged by 10 goals.
oops forgot about them! maybe i should look properly. how do you explain the last minute though?

No it's not worse, we had 17 tackles in a half. Stay deluded.
Laughable that you don't get it was a completely different game plan to that used in the Swans game, where huge tackle numbers were needed.
Now I get why you have no credibility in understanding the game let alone assessing game day coaching.

You may as well ask me why we missed so many easy shot in the last qtr - no idea.
come on No Spin you know its a simple basic tactic that happens in the last minute. This is coaching prep school, we didnt do it and Richmond didnt do it and look what happened to both. this was one coaching decision that totally cost us. even you have to admit that.

What gets me through games.. getting in the fetal position.. rocking backwards and forwards.. and repeating the word.. 'respeeeect'.. a countless amt of times.

This is what's worrying, with very few injuries even our seconds can't win a game, Buckley and his mates have completely ****** our club.
The funny thing is a lot of Buckley supporters banked the dive down the ladder on our long deep injury list over the last few years thinking everything would be roses once we had everyone back.

Now that has been proven to be a false dawn, what's the next excuse they will use at trying to defend Buckley?

Pull out the replay you will see we had 10 players inside 50 when the ball was kicked forward. We had 4 to 3 in the pack and 6 to their 4 when SJ crumbed - so like I said I can't explain why we lost.

17th with a record of 2-6 and we are meant to celebrate losing by 3 to a team that had one left on the bench.. stay deluded.
Just give credit where credits due - that's only sensible. Not a single commentator had suggested Buckley coached badly last night.
Which sucks for you guys.

Tactically he was fine last night, the players didn't give their all though especially in the second quarter. Nothing to be proud of other than the first quarter.
We are 17th on the ladder, can you acknowledge that is awful?

I'm just a dufis supporter, always go along with coach and team.
what I see is that we are lacking a potent forward line and the ability to deliver the ball to the forwards to which we don't have.
over to you recruiters, get some key forwards.

This is pathetic. Buckley should be gone Monday.

Oh he is a club legend blah blah blah, Well thats why he was given 5/6 years when others would have been sacked long ago. The club needs to stand strong now and say you need to step down or will be sacked.

I think the issue you will find is that "the club" is very much invested in Nathan buckley

Not sure why you have a problem with last nights game plan - it was 45sec from getting the chocolates.
We outplayed one of the flag favorites for large parts of the game, and apart from Cameron we had a strategy to control their huge contingent of stars.
It's a game plan that is hard to criticise after last night.
I'm more in your camp.

I'm a huge believer the better the players, the more wins, the "better" the coach becomes.

People want success, so coaches and dismissals is the easy solution.
But it never ever replaces hard work, building quality lists and having better players.

Agree 17th is bad. But our best is very good as we saw last night and consistency is our problem.
