I reckon this thread will get a bit of a work out this week.

What's it going to take for the idiots in charge to realise we're not going anywhere?

Do they even care?

I can sense a massive downturn in membership coming up

This is saying something, but I’ve never felt more pessimistic about this club than I have this season.

It says that you're overly dramatic

I signed up last week to say I don’t think Logue is gonna make it, and that’s about all I have to say.

It’s bloody hard to set the standards when it comes to skills when our best player can’t fu.cking kick.

I have being feeling this every year for the last 4 years..at least at the start we didn't have the whack cheer squad & every Jeff farmer goal was a celebration.

no our drafting has been excellent. remember the rebuild started in 2016. those players drafted at the start of the rebuild are only 22. I cannot stress this enough; if we are relying on the players drafted in a rebuild they are 4 years away as a collective to deliver a premiership. at the moment they are supporting cast to a cobbled together core of hamling, tabs, fyfe, mundy, walters, pearce, lobb, aish, tucker, conca, wilson and acres. (imo our current core wont win a premiership).

More on our drafting;
I have only included possible best 22 players. (bold means they are best 22, with some playing best 22 for their development)
2016 - griffen logue, sean darcy, brennan cox, luke ryan and taylin duman.
2017 - andrew brayshaw, adam cerra, mitchell crowden, sam switkowski, lloyd meek and stefan giro
2018 - sam sturt, luke valente, lachlan shultz, brett bewely, tobe watson.
2019 - hayden young, caleb serong, liam henry, minairo frederick
2020 - heath chapman, josh treacy, joel western (although i have not seen enough of this draft)

that is insane drafting, but as a collective they are 4 years away (that is the reality of young players) peaking in 8 years. This young core may snag a premiership.
players i expect to make an all australian squad of 40 over the next 8 years; caleb serong, luke ryan, andrew brayshaw, adam cerra, freddy, hayden young, heath chapman, liam henry and with the potential of a sturt or shultz

We have never drafted so well in terms of depth of talent in such little space of time. Maybe nobody compares to our brightest stars from rebuild past such as fyfe, pav, mcpharlin and sandi, but that may be the point. Perhaps depth of talent will get us that elusive flag.

we have 8 years of drafting before that young core peaks. 8 years to complement it.

I agree our drafting since 2016 has been good .
I’d certainly back Wallsy in come draft time.
Just wish he’d pull the trigger on some kpfs

Thanks for your contribution

It’s hard to see where the next victory is coming from? The team just feels soulless. Nondescript. A nothing side. We kicked a few junk time goals in the second half when they put the que in the rack? Whoop de ****ing doo. Big deal. When the game was there to be won they were men and we were mice. It’s especially bad when Luke Ryan, one of a handful of heart and soul types we have, is not on the park. He’s the kind of player that you just know would raise his game in a big finals series. Lobb, Acres, Wilson, etc?
Don’t make me laugh. Mercenaries collecting their pay checks that’s all.

61pts against a bottom 4 side. We're never going to get anywhere.

Too many players are not AFL quality. Over a decade of terrible recruiting produces results like this. When the elite older players retire we will give Drum’s teams a run for their money

 

[nurries]

Our backline was decimated yet it wasn’t the reason we lost. That’s a big worry

 

[Righteo]

We're like a Cuddles-era team but without the flair.

I dunno, our young players are talented, it's our mid-range players that are shit.

Our drafting has been really good lately I think, we just have a big black hole of talent in our list between the older guys and the youngsters. And those mid-age players are supposed to be the ones you can rely on week to week.

Backline held Essendon to 10 goals. What the forward line do? Couldn’t kick more then 8.
Crowden, Schulz, Switta up forward. We’re stuffed
