Breaks my heart but the brutal reality is we are too often the softest, slowest, least skilled and dumbest side in the league.

Won't be winning games any time soon with that combination.

Can this be fully mitigated? That is the debate.

The self inflicted C grade amateur errors, again and again, do my head in. Infuriating.

The usual suspects will cop the blame but the leaders made crucial errors at the wrong times.

Simmo, Cripps, Krooz all did some silly stuff.

Just a bad night but we played 1.5 very, very good quarters of football and really shoud have been able to keep it under 30 points.

Is our 55 point loss to the Crows on their home deck any worse than Ports 42 point loss to the Eagles in WA or GWS's 61 point loss to the Cats in Geelong?

We pick two rucks again for what reason again. For all his hard work Phillips just doesn't give you enough around the ground or up forward. We can pick a smaller running type instead. and be alot more mobile.

Our ability to structure a side for modern footy is hopeless. We need to pick our two key backs when fit, Weitering and Marchbank, our key forward, McKay, Casboult as a forward/ruck, Kreuzer the one main ruck then pick a decent running side around that rather than a side from the land of the jolly green giants.

Why can Fraser use SOS as an inside mid in two games now and Bolton leaves him to rot on our impotent forward line. Give him a run there sometimes. It'll help his confidence like it does Levi when he gets to have a run in the ruck. Levi seems to lose alot of confidence when he's a full time forward. He's not going to be a 50 goal forward, he's a forward/ruck.

Yes because GWS and Port have both won 4 games
We are 0 and 7
They are likely to bounce back next week.
We will play the current worst performing side back into form

Goal kicking us Crippa’s kriptonite.
Simmo has been a warrior, but his constant errors are killing us. The way things stand right now, if I had to choose, I’d rather Dale Thomas play on next year rather than Simmo.

Pretty tough effort from Levi to finish the game after that knee in the ribs. He's on his way to hospital

Looked very sore in the video shown. My guess is a couple of cracked/broken ribs.

No.

But we probably should have kept it to around 30.

Very solid two weeks from Kerr. He might get a look in earlier than expected. Could be interesting.

Well for the first time in 101 games we won't be playing one short next week

Adelaide are a good side. We are slow and have poor skills. Levi dropped several simple marks. Simpson has been a warrior but it has always annoyed me that in 16 seasons he hasn't bothered to develop a right side. He is utterly predictable and turns it over. Kennedy is soooo slow. He is young but he won't get quicker and doesn't seem to have great lateral movement. Hard to see a player that slow without exceptional hands and evasive skills will add much. Our kickouts were dreadful. Can't play two big ruckmen. Cam O'Shea is an honest vfl standard player not sure why he was recruited. If we don't win next week can't see where will win. Could be our worst season ever.

Cheap shot at a guy who ran out the game with an injury that requires him to go to the hospital after. I'm not his biggest fan but seriously.

He got hit in the spot that could puncture a lung so he has to be checked for sure.

Farrrkk....really?

34 goals as a forward/ruck last year is not playing one short. He's quite important up forward for us, especially for McKay's development.
