We simply MUST see a response and an EMPHATIC one. A win of at least 8 - 10 goals should be expected. However if we show anything like the insipid, stagnant game plan which has no system (like most of this season), we will lose the unlosable IMO.

Honey, Motlop, Fisher must be dropped.

I think Hewett and/or Kennedy are still playing injured, so at least one of them too.

Dow, has to, MUST get picked. We all know he has deficiencies, but a player being banished to the reserves for as long as he has, who logically has been instructed to make an impact (or at least thats the least he has been asked to show), has done it in spades, every game in the VFL this season. Thats a FACT. His performances have proved it.

But more than that. he needs to be given at least a 3 game show at senior level and then we re-assess. We have gifted Fisher (as just one example) a start in every game this season, despite just one decent quarter effort the whole year. It may turn out he does no deliver but u just have to give him a chance surely?

Agree we need a response, but beating WCE doesn’t atone for their sins. They need to halve the next 6 rounds or they’re toast.

Agreed, but if this team does not set a consistent, reliable standard of game plan that is adaptable and that proactively changes when needed, that at least starts this week, then those upcoming rounds you mention, will be no better. What happens then?

What happens is we start talking about draft picks and who we might get…just like we used to.

People are saying that it’s all about the back end of the year, Voss learned his lesson last year, but momentum and winning are key to the backend. Anyone that thinks Voss has magic fairy dust that’ll just turn this team around is delusional.
