Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Fair call however our list is nowhere near as good as other clubs , remember also not much could be done as far as list management due to salary cap pressure

Just think priority this year is to sort list out

In saying that I agree we should of won once Jolly went down

Good teams capitalise when the opposition ruckman goes down early.

Stop making @#$%&! excuses!

We were playing a team without Ball, Beams, Thomas, Krakouer.

A team that had it's ruckman go down early

A team that was playing b grade types like Elliott, Dwyer, Sinclair, Russell and Seedsman.

And who did we have out?

@#$%&! piss weak!

MM should have known their game plan. Chip and hold around the boundary until it opens up and then run through the F50 or kick it to Cloke. Once upon a time, footy was played man on man. Everybody had an opponent and the backs played in front and then defended goal side when they had to and the forwards tried to get in front. It was a mortal sin to let your man get loose. And the back pocket player covered the goal line when the FB ran down the field.

So why doesn't the coach revert to man on man when the opposition is just chipping to a loose man 20 metres away all the way down the ground? It's bloody obvious to many of us that the best way to defend the kickout isn't to put a zone in that lets the kick in go to a loose man and then another one and than another one. Coaches are obsessed with zoning the kick in. Well it didn't work this week, Mick. Or last week for that mater. And then there was te way the Lions justt ran riot the week before that. Sometimes you just HAVE to pick up a man and beat him in an individual marking or ground level contest and then have the composure to kick it to someone who has managed to get a metre free.

The only negatives I have are Davies, Boots, Bell and Simmo. All walking turnovers.

We ran out of legs, but I thought we fought the game out.

Mick is learning quickly about certain players when the going gets tough.

Stop overreacting

Damn this site is starting to look like Bigfooty.
my guess is most on here thought we would lose by plenty. This time last year we beat a pies team with a new coach by ten goals. Seemed better structurally. I think we are gonna be ok. Long way to go.

The majority of TC were calling it a disgrace when Laidler wasn't played last week.

Gee, maybe its obvious now why he wasnt

Are we a good team though ?
We are a lot weaker than some other sides list wise
You over rate our list and your expectations are to high

We don't work for each other.
An example is when we lead to the pocket/flank but call for the ball when someone is loose in the middle.
point out the better option for christ sake.
Lead your opponent away from your team mate for the good of the whole team.

Kreuzer, Garlett, Yarran were brilliant.

Lucas, aside from his tackling, was good IMO.

Rowe and Casboult were serviceable, did the job without huge stats.

Stop making excuses.

Pathetic performance that they could not take advantage of having Kreuzer ruck against a spud like Q Lynch. A team with Ball/Krakouer/Beams/Thomas missing.

hands not clean enough
too many broken tackles
no composure with the ball
i like Sammy Rowe. reckon he'll be alright

Then why would you sack Ratten then if you think the list is average? Surely he would then get a pass mark for last year given the injuries?

If we are at a stage where we should rebuild why the @#$%&! are they spending huge dollars a) Paying out Ratten (and Richardson/Williams/Riley) and then b) Spending a mint getting Malthouse across. Surely Malthouse would be hired because the club thinks we are close to success.

I thought it was a great game for excitement; until the umpiring bias and tiredness wore us down.....whatever happened to ''Holding the Ball''?...........

Bootsma is not up to this level; and Juddy doesn't seem to have the same lust for the ball that he had in the past.....Carrots was quiet; and we missed Eddie's input desperately.....even with all of his faults; oh for a Fevola!
