We push everyone, top to bottom, just don't get around to beating anyone.

Poor finishing, we miss to many gettable chances in front of goal.

How can 22 guys be out of form simultaneously?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Brock and Armfield are probably shot as senior players and I think its time for them to spend the rest of the year in the NB's
Cripps when fit and Holman should be played......I thought Johnson was reasonable and just needs to get used to the quicker pace of the game
but he is a player to persist with....

 Sometimes we get belted as well.

Very poor skills by foot. Curnow, McLean, Carazzo and Robinson are the worst offenders. Butter fingers McLean should only play at Etihad. He's too slow for the larger grounds.

Looking at our list there are a few that need to be traded, yet few have trade value. Can see us delisting a few more comes seasons end.

Add in confidence at the lowest possible ebb.. Docherty is a shadow of the player he was.

At least Hendo stood up when counted but why bomb every entry to the same spot and expect MOTY?  Where are the crumbers?  Where are the lead up flanking options?  Why the 1980's gameplan.... so predictable.

22 players out of form simultaneously because they don't hear the message any more... they've lost faith and supercoach has lost them.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

don't to think they are. I think it's more a case of players getting deflated when efforts aren't capitalized on.

Throughout the Game thread, there was plenty of teeth-grinding, kicking of the cat, head-butting of brick walls, all in despair at the quality of our list and the obvious passengers we are carrying right now.     

Now we have to accept that our list isn't great, I'm sure most would concede that point. However, there really is the makings of something decent there with the young guys coming through.

Even though Menzel had a quiet night & Docherty rushed his disposals, they are going to be good players for us over the long-term. Throw in Buckley, young Johnson who wasn't fazed by the big occasion tonight and it is starting to take some shape.  

We also have that next rung up of older players like Murphy, Gibbs, Henderson, Yarran, Everitt, & Curnow to work with the aging players of Simpson, Walker, Judd & Thomas and we are not far off the mark.

McLean & Carrazzo really stood out tonight but for all the wrong reasons, they were slow, couldn't lay a tackle and seemed rather disinterested. Warnock got his hand to the aggot a lot but its highly debateable whether it went to our advantage. Jamison was a non-event tonight and he showed that he is going to struggle in big games at times.

Overall, we stunk it up badly early in the piece and handed them an easy lead and then spent the rest of the night playing "catch-up football", something you can only achieve with solid tackling and ball disposal.

Frustrating & infuriating overall but I'm not worried about that, I'm more focussed on the young kids in the team, they are the future and they are the ones to get everyone excited in anticipation about what the future may hold. 

Really hope that Johnson keeps his spot for the rest of the season and Nick Graham gets selected next week too.  

Looking forward to seeing some of the older guys changed over for some new young up & comers, we will be good to go big-time !!!

Symptomatic of lack of confidence and poise.

Or perhaps poor kicking at goal is the cause of lack of confidence and poise rather than the result. Vicious circle. It's perplexing how crap we are when kicking for goal

Once again I find myself watching a group of spuds throwing away a game.

Armfield
Casboult
Mclean
Walker
Curnow
Warnock

Delist or trade these players IMMEDIATELY!!

I don't think it's his foot speed that is the problem. I have never seen such slow disposal of the ball once it's in his hands.  I mean, it's like time slows down Matrix-like for him but, unfortunately, for everyone around him, it's normal speed.

Agree with all of that....I think the role of Full back needs to be looked at seriously by the club...we need to find a replacement for Jamison who was
often yards behind Cloke tonight and was very dissapointing.

Good reason to chase Frawley as a free agent.

Many people creamed heir jcks at Levi's game against the Hawks.
I and many others on the other hand, reserved our judgements until he put in a more consistent effort.
Last two weeks we ve seen the same old invisible Levi/
He's 24 FFS... how long do we have to keep persisting with a sub standard key forward option.
