I’ll say it again

Should have gone mini rebuild after Teague was sacked. Overrated our list. Common story over about 4 rebuilds now.

Now we are in a huge hole. Our young players are awful because we didn’t invest better in this area and have relied on top ups thinking we were close.

Cripps is past his best. Doherty is cooked and our ruckman is a good chance of leaving.

This reminds me of 2014 when you could see the list had peaked and little youth coming through.

Disaster is awaiting us again.

I can’t agree

We don’t have a plan b. We don’t move the magnets. Coaching is a big big part here. Instil the belief into the players. Instil the system that they can believe in.
You can have plan A to Z and it won't matter 2 hoots if the players can't handle pressure.

They are the most mentally weak players in the comp.

You don't miss those shots in the 3rd if you are brimming with confidence

Talent goes a long way. Coaches bringing that out and instilling belief goes further. No shit coaches have ever won a flag relying on player talent alone.

Plenty of mediocre lists and clubs have won flags with coaching and belief

Just not good enough

He had some good moments but that Lewis Young turnover in the last was a killer. Took a nice mark, could have gone back, instead kicked it straight to them. Ball goes forward for them, goal.

We looked buggered in the second half, which is what our gamestyle does. But we all knew that

Hewett good game, been our best player so far

Couldn’t believe that some on here were perplexed by the first Acres’ holding the ball decision.

‘Twas clear as day.



And the fact that Acres himself was perplexed says something about his intelligence, or at least his unwillingness to learn the rules of the game.

Third gamer Sam Davidson showing what outside pace and skill can provide.

31D, 600m gained.

And only a 2nd gamer.

Acres 15 disposals at 33%.
Once again, Cottrell disappeared and Ollie showed why he shouldn't be put on the wing ever again.

Stoppage goals against
Forward 50 entries
Skill execution
Panic

Agree with everyone that the players we have brought in this year are sub AFL standard. Our list is clearly worse this year than last.

And for those blasting the arm chair experts. There were certainly positives but just the usual calamity

Changed my tip to the Dogs just prior to the game, but didn’t exactly have to be Einstein to do that.

We lost the Game in the 1st Quarter in 2 Shocking Incidents:

1- Young kicking for Goal from 20m out in front and he Shanked it.

2- Motlop wanting to be the hero by Snapping instead of passing to a Guy on his own 10m from Goal.


Had we goten any of those goals, we would have been 5 Goals up and Game OVER

10 goals up still wouldn't matter.

It's nothing to do with talent they have the talent.
They don't have the mental capacity.

You watch when the season is totally shot and top 4 is out of reach and the pressure valve is released they will come out and flog any team that is put in front of them.

I want apologise to Lewis Young - what a great game he played - who would have thought that moving one of our key defensive pillars into the forward line and relieving in the ruck would pay off so handsomely- 2 goals a few hit outs - just a couple of things to tidy up but I think there is really something to work with there - he could prove to be a very versatile swingman, that we’ve needed since Levi Casboult

I think Hollands at HB is only temporary TBH. I believe he will become one of our greatest wingmen. Glascott good. He's a machine. A 10 year player. He's a keeper imo and bonus is he grew up barracking for Carlton.

I think we need to trade in a bonafide wingman to replace Acres.
Hollands will NOT be the greatest wingman.
He'll be lucky to be a 10 year player.
Tonight both Acres and Hollands were woeful.
Cottrell choked again as expected.

Like I said we will have to agree to disagree.

So in three games, have kicked 8 goals in the second half and conceded 24!

Too many of our outside players are butchers and have no hurt factor.... actually they only hurt Carlton.

Compare to someone like D'Ambrosio who can slice through a zone and open the game up.

Also midfielders that rarely kick goals.
