We miss JSOS and his smarts at half forward.
Our skills are horrible. Cripps and Doc high on that list.
They stopped Walsh that QTR and we had no-one else to step up.
Gray looking a match winner down the other end.

we wont make the 8 Jim. if there was any thought of that, we would need a system and a plan, and from what i have seen tonight, up against the better teams, this is what we lack the most. we will get 7-8 wins, snag one we shouldnt, and finish @10 - 11.

i just dont see any game plan out there, its like they forget to play when there is pressure on.

Pretty shabby half by us. Suprised we are still this close. Cripps and wietering having their worst games for a long time. Docherty is terrible so far today also. Jones very quiet, but doing ok. If those four can get into the game we might have some chance

Deflating kicking at goal and at targets - just plain embarrassing.

That's not our issue. Turning around a 20 years poor culture is. Recruiting ability won't fix that. That's a tough trick. Only coaches we have been remotely decent under this century have been Ratten and Teague, both given the task of turning around a rabble.

What is the plan to get the ball inside F50?

Anyone know?

It's a grind and I still believe we can grind a win.

If a lot goes our way

Stop the dumb footy and it will give us a chance

We have been giving it to them

2 forwards doing the minimum possible makes it hard.

Aliir 4 marks.
McGovern 2
McKay 2

The coach can’t kick the ball. If Williams, Newnes and Cripps kicked all or even some of their easy set shots we would be fine. Our kicking for goal is terrible.

In a close 11 point win against a side that just got smacked by 62 today.

Poor opposition just made us look better last week.

thats true, but the coach can develop a plan where the delivery into the forward line isnt like a drunk pissing

We are just playing dumb footy. Cripps once again trying to do too much with the ball, Newnes Williams Cas missing gettable shots, mids & fwds just looking all over the shop when we attack. Seriously when we are a chance to score they all shit themselves & want to give it to someone else.

Saad has done some great things, really saved us on a couple of occasions.

The scary thing is, we're still playing Murphy, Casboult, Curnow and Betts. And were still losing! We should be well and truly past those guys by now.

Dow and LoB a complete waste of a draft.

Shambles.

Yep Saad has been good. Fogerty again good. We will pull our new recruits back down to the Carlton level soon enough

Each week is different. Sides like Port play well they'll always be too good. We are generally ok with sides at the middle of the road.

When our skills are that bad often means we are not switched on as we should be. Been and issue for 20 years. Poor culture, don't want it badly enough. Motivation comes from within and we don't have that on a regular basis. a coach can encourage it but in the end it's up to the individual. Port play for premierships, we play for the paycheck.

Spack Williams?
