Yes, we fail and you have been telling us about it for years and nothings changed. However; you are only ever smug about it and rarely impassioned. Could a couple more mobile talls who can take a few contested marks hurt?

Same old Story.......

Fev injuries himself in the first 30 seconds and says " Sorry boys, i am out, Someone has to step up"


Cloke replies" Oh plz not me.... i can't do it "

Wiggins says " oh Jeez, i don't like to be in the spotlight... Wake me up when its half time"


Betts replies " Bugger it, i am not going to outmark two guys who are twice as tall as me "

Yarran says " well its my first game, i am just goona watch and see how it feels to be out there "


Waite says " you bastards, its always me who have to teach u how to play Forward, .. i can't do it all "

FLOWER!

Robbie...?

On reflection, I am not as angry or even disappointed like so many. I am just a bit sad. Sad that we are not quite "there" yet. Sad we have not enough depth up forward.

Funny how small things make a big difference when a team is not "quite there". Was just thinking if just we had 203 available from the start of the season and Walker - could have made all the difference in those 3 games we lost under 10 points.

Oh, well look at the Saints - they looked terrible not so long ago - dont think we need to turn the whole list - we just need to give it a wee bit more time.

So, we are 3-4 after Round 7. Worse than teams like Essendon*, Port and Brisbane who we would have expected to be comfortably ahead of and equal with Fremantle.

We were 3-4 after Round 7 last year.

Have we improved at all? If yes, how much?

This is truly deplorable and nowhere near good enough.

I am fuming.

Build a side around Hampson?

Gee I better restrain myself here cause Im pretty angry, but what the hell does everyone see in Hampson? He is SHITE

So we should have won the game according to Ratts cos Fev didnt kick too many???

And also... did he say if we will be handballing as much next week???

MATTHEW KREUZER

I really hope the media start putting the spotlight on Ratten as a coach this week, can't believe we extended his contract for another 2 years.What was the rush for to sign him up?

Ratts game plan is simple kick it to Fev and hope he kicks enough for us to win.

I think he should snap out of it and begin to get us to play a much more positive style of game.
Individually our defence plays ok.. as a group its struggles yeah???

Going forward its all on Fev... All roads lead to Fev.

Failing that...

....the ball gets bombed to noone.....

The crumbers are in the wrong spot,cos they dont know where the ball is coming.... its amazing to see this for 2 years running...

We go wide....wayyyyyy too much..... so then how do u straighten up from the boundary???

We overpossess too much especially in the back half of the ground...

We are way too static...

We have a CHF lead up player who is too slow for that role...

We seem to pick players on 'favourites' not form....

You can go on and on....


And just on the forward line.. of all the blokes who might be qualified for the forward coach role.. we have Lappin yeah???

... and that was based on what exactly??

Considering its been a massive defficiency... what was seen in Lappin as the man to fix a 'GAPE' in our structure???

We have had how many top 5 picks ? and yet we still seem unlikely to play finals.

Compare that to St Kilda who (dare i say it) have had less top 5 picks than us, don't have Judd and yet still make the finals. Even Essendon* seem destined to play finals and they have lost their ruckman for the season and fullback for a big chunk of it and one of their key midfielders has been out. Where did it all go wrong?

Unless we start playing quickly through the corridor and get rid of some of the chaff in the team this type of performance will continue...


Could some one please enlighten me to Cloke's role?
He is 3/quarters of a ruckman (leaves young Kreuzer to do main rucking role) and 3/4s of a forward (without speed and presence to have a true impact).

Maybe I have got something wrong and Cloke deserves more game time... please englighten me... please !!!

There goes the season.....time to play for draft picks!!!!

Apalling display, made me ashamed to be a member. Glad I didnt stump up the $$ to fly to the gold coast.

I hope they are putting in some water tanks as part of this stadium redevelopment because we have a team of blokes that like to drink their own bathwater.
