Pathetic, gutless and shit skills from the team as a whole.
They couldn't beat that rabble even when they couldn't get a touch of the football.
Our foot skills are so shit in front of goal we are just throwing opportunities away and even at the death when cool heads were needed and a bit of system, they just kept doing what has lost them games every week and bombed it long.

Anybody who thinks that last quarter counts for anything is delusional. We are in serious trouble and any amount of love and player involvement from the coach can't make a shit game plan look good. It needs a massive overhaul, especially since it is defence based. Any team defence that lets Brisbane score 7 in a quarter is doing something very wrong.

They waited almost three quarters to run the ball. Buckley first and then Simpson, Touhy and Boekhurst but it was too little too late. When they start off like that they are a different team. Why Bolton has them playing kick and mark/turnover football amazes me. I watched the Dogs and Collingwood last night and we are a mile behind both of them in the style of football we play.

Kreuzer is shot.
3 kicks, two ineffective
One mark
Five frees against
One dropped mark that led to a goal.
Not many handballs I can remember
A few hitouts against a basketball player.
Worst game he has played for us for the year. Maybe longer. Get rid of him. Tell everybody he is injured to save face.
Weitering looks injured in the trunk.
Cripps is going to end up crippled.

I am not happy with any team aspect of that debacle. A few individual plusses and that's it.
Melbourne could well beat us by 60 points next week.

We simply are a product of our past and today we had 8 to 10 players who won't be there or won't be getting a gamein a couple of years.
We have recruited hi year
Plowman
Sumner
Phillips
Gorringe
Kerridge
Lamb
Wright
This year
Clearly the list was so poor that to stem the bleeding they recruited bodies that had a few pre sasons under their belt
If we had gone completely with youth we would get flogged every week
All these blokes probably wouldn't get a game in a premiership team except maybe for Phillips because he is a ruckman having his first real decent crack at it
Ruckman take longer to mature

Yes there have been some absolute howlers we are paying the price for
Thomas
Jones
Kreuzer
Jaksch
Whiley
Tutt
White
Dick

Eventually these guys will be gone. That's about a third of our list
Add Simpson Armfield maybe Gibbs an Murphy with age

The list is ever changing but at least we are competitive compared to last year
We must and I mean must now recruit young talent
If we recruit kids in the next 3 to 4 years and have a 50% strike rate we will be back

Any more recruiting of recycled garbage would be the dumbest decision on the planet
Silvangi
Curnow C
Weitering
Cripps
Give me hope we can get back up there

We have made significant progress from the pits of last year

It will take about 3 to 4 years at the earliest before we are a serious finals side
But only if Silvangi can recruit good kids
That's the key otherwise we are [REDACTED] for the next decade

Stupid rhetorical question - why can't the rest of our forwards lead towards the ball like Jack and create space between themselves and their defender?

Phillips gets 5 touch's and is going backwards quickly! Dropped before Kreuzer!!

Chestmark Jones can go and not come back and MM 700million dollar man Thomas.

I thought White competed pretty hard as well. Although his awful mistake in the 1st quarter got the opposition going.

Not sure what you were all thinking was going to miraculously happen this year. Seriously we are in rebuild and I would hazard to guess that a few players today may not be with us next year. If you are looking for a quick fix then Mick Martyn sends his love.

I was not expecting to be 7 goals down at half time to the worst team in the comp

His awful mistake each week is a psychological stake in the heart of the other 21 players. We can not progress while he is best 22

You've sort of got to feel sorry for the crew cut mofo. Takes massive grab, taken off him. Then goes chesty bonds for the rest of the game when he could have been a hero...

We have been rebuilding since 2003

This rebuilding will not end
