That must be the most infuriating loss in 10 years. I'm still as grumpy as hell 10 hours after the game. I counted 6 goals to Essendon* that could be directly attributed to our pathetic skill level. It's time to name names.

Do we have the clumsiest footballers to ever pull on a boot?

McGrath - Consistently appalling decision making
French - Seems to cough up a goal a game
Carrazzo - Terrible disposal as a rule
Walker - Still young so there's hope but MUST work on his kicking

Who else are our consistent "Ball Butchers"?

Today, Houlihan was one.

McGrath wasn't our best - though I thought his poor handball would have erased most of the good work he'd done.

Poor decision making I think is more the problem, rather than poor disposal.

Fisher and Waite.

I'm still trying to work out what Fisher was trying to when he chipped that ball sideways on the Members wing in the third quarter. :?

Kouta butchered the ball a few times Saturday.Also missed 3 easy attempts for goal.
Stevens is #4 in the AFL for clangers and on Saturday he clangered 7 times!

We lost? I know we didn't win but we didn't lose either.

It's more the pressure and lack of a consistent game plan than poor skill level.

We will never move forward until our decision making and skill level increases. We work just as hard as most teams however we turn the ball over to easy. Waite at times looks like he is cruising and his disposal looks lazy as does Carrots. They both need to be more direct and not so fancy.

Sick of watching us butcher the bloody ball. I often go to training and I don't see the players train under real pressure. At training almost every disposal hits it target. I believe they need to train under game simulation and dispose the ball under pressure. Anyone on an AFL list can look a million dollars on the track under no pressure.

We have too many butchers of the footy!

Pagan keeps claiming they're working very hard on their skills and decision making. Not sure how they're doing that.

Have to be the biggest butcher in the AFL. He gets a heap of the ball because opposition clubs don't man up on him knowing that he will turn it over almost every single time. Trade him for a 3rd pick

If Carazzo is the biggest butcher of the ball in the AFL who would give you a third round pick in the best draft of all time?

Yes they were and he failed a bone density test or something.....we cant even see knee problems on blokes with documented knee problems...

Anyway.. Carazzo is doing a great job ... he isnt the problem.

I really cant understand who people only look at the obvious and make a call on that rather than use some analysis to analyse .

Agreed. I don't see these guys making it as forwards with the kicking skill they have. Tired of seeing their poor kicking undo their own good work.
The backline beckons.
