hard to see us making the finals now given the run.

time to start the shock therapy.

more of the same in any department just isn’t an option.

roll the dice. drop players on $1m a year if they’re not scoring or they’re contributing a fraction of what our VFL team players give us in the same positions. copy other teams playbooks — even if we think it’s not the go for our super star players — because or stars are not shining and it’s upsetting the team psyche and fan enthusiasm.

100%
Go all out attack for a game and see what happens.
Literally zero to lose now.

We know we have plenty of scoring options.

Attack Attack Attack.

If it fails what have we lost? Zero

20 minutes into the last we hit the front again through charles.
Game and season on the line.
Concede the next 4 goals in 10 mins

Something is not right

That's what we need to do but will take a massive change in mindset to play that way.
They play not to lose every week. Hence the panic and uncertainty.
Not sure we can change that way of thinking in a week.

The Zoo or the Botanical Gardens sounds like a good outing.

Not sure I want to watch this game tbh...

I mean losing to the Dogs is disappointing... being made fools of by our eternal enemy would be soul destroying

Then again, new week... stop being defeatist... enjoy the ride... Blues by 20 goals

Collingwood will be licking their lips at inflicting more misery on us. They KNOW we don’t have the mental fortitude to challenge them. Or the skills. Or the game plan.

I think we match up pretty well against the Pies and am expecting a close one.
It was this corresponding match last year which turned around the Pies season, maybe it will be our turn this year.

Things could be far, far worse.

We do not have KFC as a corporate partner.

Coach has to lay it on the line. Tell 'em reputations mean nothing, ever player is on notice. The season is basically stuffed, let's see who deserves to be here next year. Recruiting has been appalling, get rid of the injury prone, those that can't kick, those that wilt under pressure. You're on big money? Well justify you pay packet or piss off. If it means we have to rebuild so be it. We might as well be on the bottom of the ladder as bumbling around in 9th or 10th kidding ourselves we are not far off. I'm sick of it, son in law took younger grandson to this match to try and rekindle his love of the club and he cops this.

It's time we brought back LOB. He's the only specialist scapegoat we have, and the team clearly can't cope without him there to absorb the hatred of our supporters.

I think we start each game by trying too hard to stop the opposition rather than go in to play our way.
Bevo hoodwinked us and mixed it up in first 1/4 and we didn’t know what to do. When we adjusted at 1/4 time we couldn’t buy a goal.

good thing is Collingwood won’t mix it up they will back them selves to win. So we will be able to implement our plan.
I don’t agree with it I’d prefer to come out and make teams stop us. But I’m not the coach

Au contraire says I about our reliable #20.
