Absolute disgrace.... I dont mind if we lose and can at least say we've had a red hot crack, but this is a joke... We've rolled over without a whimper....

no doubt ratts told the boys, take it easy in the first half and we will run over the top of them in the second half...

We have never been a team that has been able to flood and run forward, we have never been good at it.

Really pisses me when we run away from the player with the ball in the backline which just allows them to hit any player up on the lead.

We flood the backline but leave some much space for their forwards to lead into....

It makes me sick......

This was coming we have crap for 6 weeks bar the doggies game and if Russell plays next week its a disgrace. Nothing against him because he isnt up to it. not his fault.

winning games > percentage

I know that's obvious, but we need a positive win/loss ratio before anything else.

It's secondary but still need it, especially in a really close season where 10 wins could do the trick. We are blowing that. At worst, need to cut half the margin.

Our midfield needs to step up - unless they do so we will continue to be smashed.

218 touches to 160

most of the difference is in the midfield.

Woeful display from all departments of the club. This lack of a game plan is really disheartening, when will the blow torch be applied to Brett Ratten? I sense from the Fox commentary that they have some reservations. We're reliant on the same few.

russell wasnt good but not our worst

We are not even up to the standard of most of those teams in the pack anyway :oops:

Everyone and every thing can go and get [REDACTED] today. I am having trouble breathing from just watching this game. I feel sick, embarrased, let down. I @#$%&! hate the boys right now!
