The Pies ,Dogs, Bears, Cats, Dees, Saints and Port are 4-5 goals better than us. The rest we are a chance against.
We watch the blues hoping for miracles but they are not going to come. The players are not good enough. We need better players.
I think we have to play the hand we are dealt and play the (even) slower contained brand like the second half today and crab it down the field and try scrap out wins.
That is what we are best at. Particularly against the top teams.

Will be interesting what next year's membership numbers will be, and what campaign will be run.

I thought Doc played well except for when he ignored Charlie loose inside 50 in the last.
Boyd kicked well in the 2nd half.
Effort was there but we are simply not good enough.

Agree with most of what you have said, but not about Cerra - he's the least of our worries!

Today he had 33 disposals at 70% efficiency, which is pretty solid. Only 6 turnovers in total, which is only 18% of his disposals (not sure how they get 70% based on those numbers, perhaps the other 12% went to a contest?)

Actually, Docherty had a disposal efficiency of 77%, but had 10 turnovers from 34 disposals (29%), so something is not adding up here....

Regardless, I think you're off the mark with Cerra. He has been our most consistent this year and should be leading our BnF by some margin, with Charlie in 2nd.

Forward coaches are at the mercy of what happens up the field. That screws all the best laid plans.

Dont forget the obligitory win momentum back but fail to capitalise and end up losing with more shots on goal

Talent is ok, attitude and hunger not to much.

Like today for example. We had 22 shot to their's 20.

Us supporters can read the club like a book.

I thought north were stuffed

5- Daicos should get a week and the brownlow talk should** be over.

** It is ex Collingwood player Micheal Christian making the decision.

Was calling for a mini rebuild about 2 - 3 years ago

List has been overrated. This seems to be a common thing for this club.

It’s like jogging on the same spot repeatedly and expecting a different result.

Eight years into a rebuild for little results.

Worst club of the 21st century and I cannot see the light

I think they are trying but don't have the killer instinct or belief which are skills and a talent in itself. A part of a players character.
We don't have enough good players in our top26 players. That has been proven over and over again.

All of SOS'S draft selections outside the early picks are in the reserves or vanished already.
O'Brien, Fisher, Dow, TDK, Kemp, Cunners. SPS and Stocker gone. All high draft picks. That is the core of your rebuild. It's been butchered.

We were in front during the first quarter, for what it's worth.

Voss press conference was actually ok.

Super super pissed off.

Very clear though that he wants a defense first game style. Wouldn’t even be drawn into a conversation on offense.

I reckon the paint was peeled from the walls.

Very true. SOS had a good handle on KPP's but no idea with the speed, size, running power required at modern AFL level. Just look at the body size of most of them.

Same confused, disinterested rabble I've seen for many weeks

In 2018-2021 when Bolton and Teague had lost the players, we'd lose by 60+

Our list is so much better now that it's about 15-30 points

I know Agro mentioned it as well but I will go to my grave believing something apart from our list is the problem

It is not a happy locker room

I read somewhere that Voss lost the players at Bris because he continually played favourites...that makes for an unhappy and distracted work place...output suffers as a result

If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

Voss is either too stubborn for his own good or is listening to others that are killing him.
Perfect example - he made all the moves he should have made, at the start of the game, after the 1st quarter break, ie. Curnow further up / McKay closer to goal, Weitering further up, etc. Game OVER by then.
We bring in Boyd, and have Saad and Newman, and still play our best midfielder (Kennedy) half back!!!!! FMD.
BTW - what can we get for Saad and McGovern ???? Anything at all considering we spent 1st rounders on them both! Embarrassing trading.
If anyone plays Collingwood and they don't make Moore accountable - they have no idea. We tried, after the 1st quarter. Why after the 1st?
Speaking of forward - McGovern forward was such a great move.

If Kemp, Dow and TdK don't play next week - that't it for me in 2023 and this MC. NFI.

Well the captain has hardly touched it since his mate got banished to the reserves. The remonstrating with the coach on the sidelines wasn't a good look. We will see that replayed all week.
