The recruitment of Betts is an example of a club that has lost its way

seriously????? did he kick your cat or something???? are you blaming him for the loss, while you let others off scott free????? interesting to see what you thought of fog's game, or doc's, or martin's....

i want walsh as captain. he will provide inspiration for a long, long time. cripps and doc dont have it anymore

Walsh the player? Or Walsh the poster?

If the latter, at least we know he'd play for the coach.

Without the ball, there are two options you can find a man, or find the relevant space to fill, amazingly we take option three: hide and point.

Exactly! Have a look what happened at Brisbane when they brought Fagan in. Bottom of the ladder with a massive culture problem with all their young kids wanting out. Brought in a STRONG leader in Fagan and they’ve been top 4 ever since.

You can’t just keep standing for this shit we’re dishing up. Teague has shown ZERO improvement in his 2 years, in fact we’re regressing.

Time to go

TDK didn't have a great one tonight but surely he has to play out the season? Lot of upside, and Levi needs a spell to get fully fit (unlike most here, I still think Levi has value).

Parks has escaped scrutiny tonight but I thought he was dreadful, seemed to lose every contest and I can't actually remember him having a possession. I agree, he's had a taste, but he needs more VFL, hopefully Plow returns and Parks can look forward to a big preseason.

Also agree with Martin (stop half baking players) and Newnes (what happened? Was such a solid contributor last year). I'd like SPS to get another run but it seems we've given up on him, maybe a destination has already been chosen.

Culture was ok there. They recruited well, they wanted it and found a good coach. Here, same as the Saints, we have all sorts of changes for the same result. if Fagan coached here he'd probably be out of a job by now and a good coach would be lost.

Can’t agree with this. If Teague was as great as you say and the players all loved him so much we wouldn’t be seeing the shithouse performances and lack of care and effort on the field that we are seeing. If Teague was a strong leader he’d be leading and changing the culture

We are abysmal defensively. Not our back 6 but our system when the opposition have the ball. I posted it after our previous game and we have done nothing to rectify it. Opposition teams pull our zone apart with ease. Our players have no concept of how to recognise/defend the dangerous space. We allow teams to create space and to easily use it.
If I could see any attempt to solve the issues I'd walk away with some hope but it's groundhog day and has been all season.
I read that Teague offered to walk (sounds like nonsense to me) but if he did, sack whoever talked him out of it.

We have a player who less than 2 years ago was voted by the AFL players as the best player in the game. Another who was an All Australian and was one of the most damaging half backs in the AFL for 3 consecutive years. They are a shadow of themselves. They are almost liabilities to the team. We have too many players who are playing outside their skillset and lacking understanding of their role. That is an indictment on the coaching group.
I rate Teague as a person and nothing would make me happier than to see him succeed. But he needs to perform. It's an elite sporting organisation and he's floundering at the moment.

I feel for players like Jack Silvagni. He is a very limited player but I tell you what, he gives a @#$%&!. He hates losing and I can see he is becoming increasingly frustrated by our situation. Not just the losing but the regression of the team.

The sugar coating has to stop, Teague has to go.

If it’s correct that he wanted to resign but was talked into staying then those responsible should resign too.

We are a rabble with zero respect throughout the football industry.

When one captain misses your other captain with a simple hand pass from 5 metres away

Drop Dow not good enough needs time and weakening an already weak midfield.

Doesnt get his hands on the ball enough and shows very little class.

Kennedy needs to keep going and at the right age to step up. Suspect he can follow it up - hopefully he surprises.

Out : Dow Parks Martin

Drop Dow he says! You’re hilarious

Give me a fit sps over a limping Martin every day…used to be very few players that came straight back in after long lay offs.

He also says that nothing will be achieved by clearing out the coaches box...that's not hilarious, it's either insane or bordering on troll-some
