Adding Judd to this bunch isn't going to make much difference in the scheme of things. We are paying the price for recruiting blokes who cannot kick and who are slow in their decission making.

I apologize to all the football writers who had us finishing outside the eight. You were right in your assessment. We need to trade and trade wisely over the next couple of seasons.

I hope we can improve but I have reservations as I don't see the anwers on our current list.

ANOTHER PATHETIC ENTRY THEN!

Now the [REDACTED] commentators are waking up to how dominant we've been. That's why it's so @#$%&! fruystrating!

THIS goalkicking is not acceptable!

Worst kicking for goal I've ever seen

Ratts is not kicking the ball. Players just cannot carry out instructions effectively!

Another poor entry this time from the captain. Work hard to win the ball back and then can't execute...once again.

No point trying to trade something people don't want!

Thing is the only way we can get a forward line working is just time and games. I am sure Ratts instructions aren't haphazardly bomb the ball in then attempt to scramble miracle goals all night.

If we remain injury free this season, you will notice steady improvement, but some people may get very angry in the time being.

The whole team cannot be a liability...but the general well thats another thing....

This is our worst performance in execution since 07. Hands down.

Russell has been our best kick tonight.

Look at the numbers then when it came inside 50 - bomb from Thornton to 1 on 4

Now the forward structure has broken down.

Should be at least level with them given our dominance at the stoppages - surely this highlights how we cannot continue to have such a high number of poor decision makers/players with poor skills in the team.

we're getting smashed in the middle and around the ground

Kruezer, Scotland, Russell

No one else has turned up

I will say it again: We can't @#$%&! kick

OK I am going to try and put a positive spin on this abomination.

IF.... IF we develop a brain cell and start executing, this game is at our mercy. We are smashing them getting the ball, we are smashing ourselves using it. Honestly, I can't find too much wrong withthe backline... Brown and Fev have been so open because they're marking off turnovers...

Goal kicking is one of those things that is hard to define.

Last week we had one of our most accurate first halves ever and this week the opposite.

That is what is so frustrating - we have killed them out of the middle.

We have killed them in contested possessions.

We have probably had more inside 50s.

We have dominated the key statistics yet our pathetic execution has left us 4 goals down.

The Sky! The freakin' Sky!

Is it the decision making by the players? Because we still seem to be doing what we did last year except who we are bombing it to has changed...it is much much more than player decision making....

We need more midfielders

It's simple really.

Kicking for goal is shocking.

Turnovers by Anderson and Thornton have gifted Fev goals, other than that Jamo has flogged him.

The forward structure has broken down due to the lack of confidence generated by poor conversion.

I'd expect better conversion in the second half and if we cut the turnovers down then we are still in the game.

The only worry I have is Brisbane running the game out better than us, if they do it's a flogging, if we do then we will win. (Caveat: If our disposal and turnovers improve).
