Just too many average players. Hawthorn are the benchmark and we are a long way off.

Tough decisions need to be made at the end of the year and a number of players.

Hawthorn's avenue to goal has been just too easy. So many goal kickers, and all deadly accurate. The only option left is to beat them up. Won't happen though.




Casboult one of the few who matches/beats them in the strength department.


Don't have to be strong, just a dirty cauliflower. Holman should've jumped on Breust whilst he was prone and dropped a knee into him.

Soon as Barker became favourite for the coaching job after 2 great wins and a wonderful, honourable loss our game plan has turned to shit.

Why do you keep bring this up? He's a list manager who only started a couple of months ago.

We're down around 69%,

Another half of this and we'll get it down to 67%

Boeks actually been pretty good.

Got the usual Hawks treatment, disappeared and came back.

Should be on the end of a couple of 50's. Tackled well and got a free.

I think the kid has a future.


Nah
He has a future in the VFL.
Like his twin brother from the west Lucas, his first instinct is to shit himself and look to dish off to
a player in no better position than himself.
He was recruited to run , run and run some more but that doesn't appear to be instinctive.
He is about to turn 22 but is built like a 16 year old (see his twin brother Lucas). The pick looks more and more like a bust.

It's like maradona in his prime, he would put his hand up in anticipation of the foul, well before contact.
The refs always paid it, because they were in awe.

But he did get hacked

I'm frustrated Yarran is driving down his trade value.
He is seriously weak.
Putrid.
Be lucky to get a second rounder for him

Yarran should be subbed and resist of year in Magoos. Such a soft and lazy player. What's happened to our tackling ? Barker lost them already ? Or is this group just a bunch of soft clocks ?

Irrespective of the difference in talent and experience the umpiring is simply bias. I don't want any charity and neither should our club but all teams are entitled to a fair go. How the @#$%&! can one team have 21 frees to half time.

Bar perhaps Jaksch, we don't have anyone else left to pick. We're basically threadbare.
