Swans killed us with their speed, skill and class, along with the dare of their young players.
Once they ran out of a bit of puff our slow grinders came into play. They are young bodies, did I read five 18 year olds.
You are killing this once proud club, Brad, with your bullish!t. Game plan and selections are diabolical.

****, as much as I find Longmires coaching style to be boring as hell, I'd even be fine with him walking through our doors.

At least he gets SOMETHING out of his players.

I would take Horse in a heart beat.

True - but then goes for a dribble kick and misses and then misses another sitter. Sorry but for all his good he probably costs us the game.

Jy did not cost us the game.

Yes he missed a couple but he wasn't one of those continually bombing the ball to Sydney defenders.

Longmire before the game -

"Guys our KPI this week is to let MacMillan rack up 30+ possessions as North's loose man. North can't win if he does with the way he butchers it. Don't worry too much if he mans up on someone though either because he can't play small, he can't play tall and in fact he can't play at all."

Longmire after the game:

"Great job guys, Macmillan had 34 with 9 turnovers- exactly what we expected. Brad didn't man up our loose as he knew that meant Macmillan would've had to actually play on someone, which he can't do. Actually it's very hard to lose to North with Macmillan in their side."

100%. Was thinking during the game how much we have recently avoided giving it to JMac and you could see in this game that he had the ball a lot more and it seemed to unravel the side.

 

[Moti]

He was extremely average.
I get sometimes the midfield is under siege but as a specialist lock down defender he needs to be better than that. 4 goals and the effort on the ball out the back that Papsmear toe poked through was a disgrace. Also the kick that was smothered in the middle of the ground when he took forever to dispose of it.
I get he had a tragedy last week but when you declare yourself fit your good to go.
Collingwood cut him for a reason and it was so Crisp and Maynard could flourish and perhaps it was the right call by Collingwood.
The Marley of 2017 hasn’t reappeared this year or last.

Why didn't they move Atley onto him? After the first quarter Sydney got their young bloke to run into space to get Atley away from the rebound game. Worked a treat. Then when he got it ...

Yes - I am talking in the moment. His two misses were terribly damaging but overall a very good game from Jy.
This constant bomb to BBB when he has three defenders hanging off him just shows how badly coached we are. Scott never has a plan B - use Larky as a decoy or BBB as the decoy to open space for the other key forward. Nup. Just keep kicking long.

Look no further than Ablett last week!

He HAS to be tanking. He's got to be taking the piss. God help us all if he isn't!

Which game?

2011 or 12. All the ball in the last and kept bombing it to St.Klida's defence.

Silver lining is that a lucky win against a team there for taking at home would have been a step to nowhere land on the ladder. This season has to be about a platform for the future.

 

[KingKongBundy]

Agree with all about a lucky win papering over the cracks and prolonging the Scott era, so relaxed about the loss. Not so relaxed about us copping shit from umpires, MRP and the League. We should be publicly asking them defend that Marley decision. We should have appealed the Durdin verdict. We should have questioned why Ablett was playing in the Geelong match and why he was allowed to play this week. Need to stand up for ourselves more. We are the quivering jellyfishes of the comp - probably stems from Brad’s last foray on umps which ended in disaster if memory serves me ... had to apologize for implying they were corrupt or similar yeah? Gotta do it with some finesse.

Wut about Rowan playing yesterday!

Yep. But even that's not happening. The club is in nowhere land until real changes are made from the top down. Winning or losing last night made absolutely no difference to anything one way or the other. Dare I say it was irrelevant?

 

[Gasometer]

1. The crowd was nice and quaint

2. The Sydney fans were pretty pleased that Tony Abbott was out at half time

3. The Ferry to the ground is awesome

4. Individual male cubicles equals huge queues

5. It was worth the effort, close game but a mark in that last 10 seconds would have sealed the weekend

On the Fox coverage at half time, commentator Brayshaw said something to the effect of “one of the great things about Brad Scott is his ability to change things up mid game”. Make of that what you will.

Nothing surprising about that.

One of the great things about Brad "Mr Reactive" Scott is his inability to get things right from the outset, and by then the horse has usually bolted.

He enters the season wondering what everyone else is doing and figuring out how he can counter it. He's the same assistant coach that walked in to Arden Street 10 years ago.

We're half committing. Getting games into Larkey, Zurhaar, Durdin etc but without a real plan or structure. What's happened to Bailey Scott since R1 and the JLT? Where does LDU fit? So many questions. So few answers.

 

[dwog25]

Was at a mates birthday and super glad to miss the game...i said to my friend on friday when melbourne lost to wce. Its all about execution under pressure. Foot hand kicking for goal pressure etc... we aint going anywhere real fast with a team that struggles consistenly under pressure. Time to build a team that can

We went into last night's game as older and more experienced than Sydney. Sydney have made the last 9 finals series, won a flag and played in two other Grand Finals, yet are getting more games into young players than us, consistently beat us, and didn't have their only A-graders last night - Kennedy and Franklin - and the game was played at a venue where we had a clear advantage. Last night was a huge fail at every level.

 

[Masked Avenger]

This will prove to be the most important loss this club's had since the Adelaide debacle in early 1993. Brad's had 10 years and 3 goes at trying to build a genuine top 4 team and last night was his Waterloo. To have close to his full strength fantasy team come up against a team that's going backwards at a rate of knots on hostile soil with six of its best players out and to lose says it all. Any semblances of Board support for his vision evaporated yesterday. At 2-7 mercifully finals are out of the equation and there is no justification, absolutely none, for not playing Ahern, LDU, Scott and the like. I cannot believe he thought he was going to get sufficient improvement out of his cabal of plodders without needing to turn to three of the most exciting kids we've had in more than 20 years. Change is afoot.

And if we gave Sydney any of LDU, Ahern, Hall, Tyson, Scott, Wright or whoever is in our 2s this week, they would have played them.

And killed us with our own "B" players. They are not a rabble.

Yeah, but apparently...................."simple footy is for good players...........just too easy...."

I've added the bold bit for the sake of accuracy. Maybe I'm cynical and jaded, but I think Brad is as entrenched as ever. He'll finish up when he's ready because no one has the balls to challenge him.

Most of our future weren’t playing -!old stagers still getting a free ride.
Coach won’t change - so he needs to go

Just the same old mistakes that we’ve been doing since brad took over.
Brad is just sucking the life out of this club that I’m starting to hate when the weekends are coming up.

The board are not football people, so what do you expect?
