The more I reflect on this performance, the more disgusted I get.

What gives them the right? They’ve achieved nothing.

Just spitting in the faces of all us idiots who continue to support.

The lack of urgency, spirit, fight and pressure was damning. Got absolutely monstered by North. North!

I still can’t get over how we move the ball and the lack of any movement whatsoever ahead of the ball. Mind blowingly bad.

It is a disgrace that we are back here again.

Today signalled the beginning of the end for Voss, I have no doubt. And it's absolutely the fault of the players. But it's also the fault of his assistants. And ultimately it's his own fault because whatever it is that the best coaches going around have that extracts the best out of a playing group, Voss doesn't have.

Today's performance was nothing short of a @#$%&! disgrace

i make mention of weitering as well

went down like a season ending injury ... i said at the time, i will give it 15 mins, he has a history with this ...

next quarter, its like the messiah rising from the dead ... and we clapped him ... he is a great player, perfect backman, but gee ... as hard as melted butter.

something isnt right with this club.

im all for being gentleman and pillars of the community of the field, but on it, should never shirk an issue, otherwise we get blokes like Simpkon showing up as the "hardman"

I notice we have some people saying the team has downed tools on Voss, others saying they've turned on each other. I am leaning more towards the latter. I think if the players wanted Voss gone they wouldn't have won the final quarter 35-0 after copping a spray, they'd have said @#$%&! off ranga and let the final nail settle. The repeated failure to stand up for one another - who can forget Amartey assaulting Boyd when the game was already done, then rubbingit in with a goal? - and rumours of the EH situation driving a wedge between players, and H having mental health problems, players burning team mates who are wide open or in better positions... I would not be surprised to learn that factions had emerged within the squad and personal enmities festering.

Replacing the coach and expecting this list to turn it around seems more and more a fool's errand.

Sorry, but I’m sticking by my opinion.
“Nullified” .. doesn’t really do much.
Rickmen today aren’t just bash and smash ruckmen.. the Collingwood ruckman kicked 2 or 3 goals in their match.
Pitto is one dimensional.
He might “nullify” but that doesn’t win you games.
If Young was playing.. charging down to the forward line, the North ruck would have to follow him (using up petrol tickets)
Young is lighter.. yes.. but in today’s football not really a hindrance (in my opinion)

100% agree.

Vossy made it quite clear in his presser that he thought the team got bullied. He also made a direct point in regard to his 3qtr time spray saying it was directed at everyone not just "Lord". I looked at the footage and you could see his eyes darting so he wasn't focused on "one" person. You can bet you bottom dollar, he was filthy then and will be mega filthy in the review. He had hints of smoke coming out of his ears at his presser (and so he should have).

I havent read all of the posts in this thread, but the biggest concern I have is that basically no one, not one player especially our Captain Cripps looked or played like they really cared or worse - that they were interested.... Its heartbreaking to see this. Its like none of the have the desire, spirit or respect to our Club to at least give a shit and play with some heart and soul, some vigor and toughness (especially at contests - Voss was right - we let them bully us and the players just wilted).

This is a common theme across a number of losses - not just yesterday.

Xerri is in all Australian form, I’d say nullifying him was a huge win for us. He dominated TDK every time we took Pitto out of the ruck. What was worse was TDK couldn’t even beat their second ruck. One thing we did get right was picking Pittonet for yesterday’s match.

Also I disagree with you bindi that TDK is a ruck fwd, he’s shown nothing as a fwd. Yesterday was his big chance to make his case as a fwd. he failed masively. Hopefully we can get a couple of good picks for him as he’s a list clogger for us. Not good enough as first ruck, not good enough as ruck/fwd.

Amen to both of you.

Softcocks.

Just try and imagine being a player in this team. Think Hewett, and that hit was you. And your mates just left yopu there gasping for air. That's the clarkson way, unsociable. I really thought that a Vossy team would be all that and more, when we comparte Clarkson and Voss as players.

Picked choir boys, and haven't fired them up. Austin and Voss.

The point about Vossy's assistants is so spot on. WTF do they add. They are assissystants.

that would only be half the job. we need a new coach, and we need to let some of our assets go, and top up the list around a more modern gameplan. we need both.

voss isn't the man for the job, he still thinks big strong bodies, and winning the contest is the formula. it was never the formula, and since the HTB interpretation changes mid season, 2024, it's even more of a fool's errand to persist with that gamestyle and system.

Well said till you got to....

Bindi ? Its Bondi mate

I thought it was cool being called Bondi thinking I was on trend and cool, but they called me Bondi because I wasn't Manly.

If TDK doesnt mark the ball, and hes getting better with his marking, he brings the ball down better than Charlie and Harry for smalls to do their work. He also is good on the ground ball. Ball yesterday when it went forward TDK looked dangerous and created danger for the opp. Maybe the players players played taller with his there. Mate, the ball didnt really go near the forwardline after the 1st and thereafter Pitto only showed up for cameos. TDK played ruck a lot more than Pitto after first quarter.

Piss him off too, and take the pick. I aint paying $1M for him. I'd rather pay OBrien 600K or Cameron $700K which is more than Crows and Pies are offering.

Just watched the 1st and last quarter of Saturdays game. Haven't seen a more dominant display of football by the Blues. Roos barely get it past halfway.

Excellent post GX .

we kicked 7.11 in the first and last quarter (and many of those 11 points were very easy shots), they kicked 12.3 in the second and third.....
