Judd worked hard, but no longer hurts teams with his diposals esp by foot. Watch replay and see how many of his kicks found a target. Doesn't help with no fwd line though.

Started the second half with Cachia (on Pendlebury) and Carazzo on Swan in the centre square. Hardly the way to get back in the game. Mick never rolled the dice.

Funny you say that. I was sitting high up on the wing, with a good view of game and kept saying the same thing to my mate. It was nearly like Mick knows this team isn't going too far and was just prepared to see who fared the best in their possies with a view to the future. Just looked strange.

I thought we looked flat, slow and tired as well.

Well,for me it was great.Finally,i have realised that i have had my head in the sand for far too long.No more rose coloured glasses.

Didn't watch the game. I didnt think we were any chance at all.

My reasoning had nothing to do with team selections, recruitment or process.

It came on the back of what I thought were three very competitive and meritorious performances and THEN in the same week as these guys have done what they can the coach is reported to have told a coterie group that 25% of the 22 that played in the Swans game are not good enough to play in a flag team, he then goes on to re-state that he had a preferred game plan, but can't implement it because the player group can't do it so he's had to amend it i.e. players no good.

The CEO then comes out and says that there will be a big turnover of players at the end of the year. i.e players no good.

So, no matter what MM and the coaching staff have been saying to the group they, the players, would suspect that's not his real opinion of them.

So, the good players think the average players are holding them back, the average players think the coach reckons they are shit and the whole player group now thinks there's no point sacrificing themselves.

It's different to Blighty and "Pitiful Pittman" because it doesn't single out the offender and target his behaviour, by nominating a percentage there could be as many as 8 players thinking the coach reckons they are no good and as a result MM has thrown a bucket of sh1t over the team.

You raise a good point, but wouldn't it then be on the players to work that extra bit harder to make sure they're not part of that 25% and put in that little bit of extra effort? If they drop their bundle and crack the sads because the coach doesn't rate them, then they're softer than we thought and don't belong in AFL.
