Heads have to roll now, we can't cop that sort of pasting and not react to it.

Cripps, Giles, Holman and Graham all have to play from now along with Menzel & Buckley. Leave them in the team for the whole season, they can't do any worse than some of the imposters out there tonight who have just served up an 81-point drubbing.

The club needs to review Malthouse too, this is pretty much the same nucleus of players Ratten got to the finals. Why is this team playing worse now under Malthouse ?? He has brought in some solid recruits and trimmed off the deadwood so if we are honest, overall it is better than what Ratts had.

Additionally, the two areas that we keep getting killed in is the ruck and the key forward posts. We have not addressed the forward area since Kernahan retired and we have had plenty of rucks at the club yet we keep bringing in those who are second-stringers at best (Warnock & Wood).

Is he contracted next week?

The real culprit is Hughes.  Our recruitment has been dreadful.  Watson.  Lucas.  Two wasted first round draft picks.  And them there's the Marcus Davies of this world.  And then there's the recycled players who have been rubbish for us like Robbie the Robot.  It's been a train wreck for a number of years.

Yep...couldnt agree more and it will be a 3-5 year turn around when you are starting from rock bottom...

No game plan.
No leadership.
No heart.
No skill.
No idea.
Pagan era x2.
Coach "thinks" he is Vince Lombardi.
Either Menzel or Buckley to be made captain.

Thank God I have a new job and Liverpool to keep me entertained.

There no way you can let MM off the hook.

He's turned a middle of the road list to crap.

Why would you give home great payers?

Warnock getting beaten Carlisle in the ruck clearly shows he is not AFL worthy.

Rowe is a waste of space, White gets scared in the headlights.

Our tackling is virtually non-existent too.

Our tackling was terrible under Ratten and MM has done sweet FA to improve that part of our game.  Our kicking was also terrible under Ratts and MM again has done nothing to improve that skill set.  Both the. Bummers and the Hawks are playing great football because they have players who can kicks.  Ours can't.

The funny thing is the scum only started the game in third gear, got 7 goals up and then cruised through the rest of the game in second gear. The performance was down up there with the infamous round 22 loss to the Kangas in 2003.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

I'm not letting him off the hook.  Has been a major disappointment.

Agreed.  Also reminded me of that loss against the Saints when Fev started down back on Gehrig.

It's very hard to deliver the ball cleanly when you're hugging the boundary. There's no space to kick the ball into and it's very one dimensional in terms of options available.

That's all fine, but name your team from the back line.
