Menzel will be handy

It amazes me how well most are taking a loss not only one loss but two losses from the first two rounds of the year. Not only two losses but justifying the losses from two teams we beat and beat quite comprehensively last year. Yes we also lost to Port and GC so I would assume that a loss to these sides will also be justified and excused because we are learning a new game plan and it’s a hard initiation into the year.
Yes we will start winning but again but against the lower end teams(soft games) that we beat last year but we are not improving if we don’t beat the teams that we are not expected to win against and going backwards when we lose to inferior teams like Richmond.
Should we rationalize the losses by different criteria because we had Ratten as coach and not Malthouse. Or the fact that it takes time for a new game plan for the players to come accustom too even though I haven’t seen anything new as far as structures or game plan that differs from last year.
Last year it was Rattens influence and coaching that destabilized our playing group and now Malthouse needs to come in and educate these players into playing a game of footy that has seen them selected as a chosen few who play the game. This must be the reason we need to pay him over 1 million over 3 years because it’s going to take him that long to assess, evaluate and reprogram all the mistakes Ratten made.
Please some people are just politicians and some just buy into the spin.

We had a crack but pannicked in the last, when the class of Pendles and Swan destroyed us. Judd tries hard but really doesn't hurt sides anymore esp around the ground - Pies happy for him to have it in his hands for mine. More time up Fwd for Judd in his twilight for mine.

Davies not AFL standard, plain and simple. Boots will be good but not ready yet. Tuohy just going at the minute, and with Laidler not 100% it hurt us. Those calling for the re-call of Joseph.....please And not sure what's wrong with Simmo but he's lost his mojo big time

Considering how poor our team selection was, how poorly we executed, how poorly we were coached and how mentally weak we are, it's surely a miracle that we were 5 points down against one of the flag favourites with 60 seconds to play.
