Found out all I needed to know about our players and coaches today.

Right now we are a rabble.

Crisis time for the whole club.

Going backwards at a rate of knots and seemingly clueless to do anything about it.

They're all second guessing, fumbling and panicking under pressure and perceived pressure. Lack of a forward structure and the midfield's struggles are putting them under pressure down the line. When they get it forward, they all want to receive instead of working and running hard to support because they're hungry. Spuds like Ricky Dyson look good because they're working as a team and have self belief. Put him in our side instead of Russell and you would have the same result.

This is unbelievable. I have been following the team from Mexico off and on for 8 years and on TC for about 4-5 of them and I have NEVER seen so little comment after a game. people are just bewildered into submission.

Again there was no system moving the ball forward and again no forward structure. Midfield smashed again. . All the media hype about our midfield depth but we lack classy inside midfielders.

Henderson was the only positive to come out of the game.

Good on Adelaide! They were a rabble last year and have really turned things around. Craig was a disgrace.

Too good. Too strong. Too fast and too skillful. Brilliant effort and completely outclassed us.

Start off

Hendo to CHF - do not care how good he is back we need a forward structure and he is the only CHF we have got.

That shamozzle today irks me.

Dees are a chance next week if they go hard

MC are mad if they don't play Bucks . Four goals in VFL kid has more talent than Russell, Curnow and AJ combined

Going into the game, we have been smashed in centre bounces, clearances, stoppages and contested ball for a month.

So why do our midfield run forward of the ball and contest time after time after time? Defensively we are so poor it's not funny. The opposition go in, get the ball and break forward with too much ease.

Bec that's Ratts game plan.
Quick movement outside
But other teams have worked us out
And Ratts has no plan B

:lol: :lol:

If you dont get it!!!
the players are confused!!!
they have been conditioned to play a certain way and the oppostion wont allow us.
Thats why theyre panicking!!!!

Tell me what this game reminded you off.

Everything reminds you of something..... usually its a gun !!!...

Out: Russell, Curnow, Gibbs, Hampson, Murph inj.
In (hmmm): Waite, 206, Sugar, Meerkat, Watson

If they don't do something like that then they're not serious. Time to rebuild, as hard as it is to take, and just when we were fooled into thinking a golden era had begun.

Too many role players - not good offensively, not specifically defensive, just can toe the line. I mean Curnow, Ellard, gibbs (yes), Duigan, Russell.

We need to reward making the play and making things happen and trying offensively to create. W eseem so limp and meek in creating and when we do go forward it's like a 3 on 5; not too dissimilar to Richmond's last quarter against Essendon*.

Not to mention that the lob kick completely goes against all strengths we have - Betts, Garlett....

If you aren't playing to your strengths you aren't playing.
