Walls is a mentor, not a game day assistant coach. And if you watch closely when Doc is talking with BB on the boundary, he's being ignored (no acknowledgment)... a small thing, but maybe indicative. Had the Dishlickers not made so many errors last week we could easily be zip 6.

When you lead by 30pts at half time, you should never be in the situation where the last 2 seconds of the game is so critical.

Gotta take your hat off to Clarkson. Slowed us down in the second then took over in the 3rd, with a side that's not nearly as good as ours on paper... but experienced coaching / man management showed us how it's done.

Another 'brave' loss. This one should hurt more than the GCSs game.

How we respond to this will be telling.

Read my words. Walls Isn’t  an advisor. He is an observer to report back to the board where he thinks we fall short in games. Why do you think he is so close to the coaching group, yet says nothing to influence the game day strategy. He is the Mole.

The coach is not the problem. This game was won and lost by players who are still leaning and gelling together. Rookie (and not so rookie) mistakes got us in the end.

Not an ordinary Hawks' outfit like that one....

Correct. Tag O'Meara and they've got nothing.

The board doesn't need Wall's to tell them where we went wrong, they only need to look at this board.

Come off it - were you watching him for the whole 4 quarters ? How do you know who he does and doesn't talk to ? He has stated publicly that he is a sounding board for the coaches - yes, he could be lying, but he could also be telling the truth.

Rubbish. Don't hand over 4-5 goals inside 25m from mistakes and they dont win, simple. In the first half, he had 25 I think and we were still 5 goals up. He is not the reason they won, we handed the ball to them (virtually) in front of their goal. Unforgivable.

You're grasping at straws PP old son. Read MMs article again. We were out-coached. There were a few players who stank the place up in the second half as there were Dawk's players who stank the place up in the first qtr. They adjusted and adapted. We fell away. Fortunately our first qtr was so good that we had a buffer that took a while to dismantle. Looked to me like we went into 'protect the lead' mode in the 2nd half... now why would we do that?

We know that you believe BB should be given as much time as he wants, regardless, but there are those in positions of influence within our club who expect more and sooner than another few years. You can be sure that BB is coaching for his job this year... and so it should be.
