Damn we play some rubbish football. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Our bottom 6 were just so poor today. If Dow doesn't get a game next week he should asked to be put in the mid season draft.

He's a question for you all...........................Over his career, will Harry win or lose us more games?

Skills and Decision making. Back to the drawing board.

Good Q about H, I had the same conversation with a mate during the week, there is no doubting his marking ability. His goal kicking is like a raffle. He doesn't take his full allotment when kicking at goal and he seems more focused on telling the umpire where the mark is. He just seems so confused in front of goal, with all the coaches and the amount of training you would think that someone could help him.

We took 140 marks today, only 9 of them were inside 50

27 backwards kicks... St Kilda had 6

Damning

Terrible style of play

Also the reason why we are the worst team to watch in the AFL

Even our close games bore me to tears

Proves we are bereft of belief and play safe footy

The switching of play today was slow and predictable. Adds nothing to our game and provides more opportunities for turnovers.

A lot of understandable frustration with the ball movement. But I'm not sure realistically what option we have to try and play quicker, given our list and especially given our injuries. Who out of our defenders and midfielders is quick enough and skilful enough to sustain this right now? We've got some hard runners. But we don't have any high level pace or elite kicks to manage it in the current team. If we tried to play quick, I reckon we would have lost by 10 goals. At least the plan today gave us a chance to win. It was our inability to convert when we had the chance that killed us.

We should have addressed this issue early in the rebuild, when we may have experienced 10 goal losses but put in the building blocks to win a premiership.

Instead we persisted with players like SPS, Fisher, Dow and O’Brien. They were supposed to be the core of our next premiership team. We should have realised sooner this wasn’t going to be the case and adjusted accordingly.

Now we face the prospect of another wasted decade.

Hope no one rushes to judge you CK for leaving early when we're losing.

I'd like to assure everyone that CK leaves even earlier when we're winning.

:lol:

I read we'd had zero running bounces for the game. Ouch.

Why wouldn't you try Kennedy at half forward if you're looking for a position for him? At least he provides a decent medium sized marking option & can kick straight.

Don't mind that idea.

Half full on the fence might be a better option.

Our smalls are there; we just can't see them because most of the opposition is in our forward 50 due to the slow meandering way we move the ball. Even Charlie Cameron has trouble when his team moves the ball slowly forward and then blindly bomb. And who's Ming and why is he boggling?

60+ years ago when I was still a kid, the aints were my 2nd team. Do you think it would be ok to get back on the bandwagon? Lived a regular punt kick from the old Junction Oval.

Not withstanding Ross of course.
