I was at the game, our boys tried so I don't get the lack of effort comments. We're just not very good.

Nup - that's a cop-out mbb. Our blokes do not work hard enough for long enough, they pick 'n choose when they wanna crack in. Who leads? Who gut runs? Who works hard to be an option downfield? Where are our blokes around the stoppages? Where are our loose blokes on the counter-attack? Don't make easy excuses for them mbb, they don't deserve it.

Not sure how saying we're not very good is making an excuse?

Totally agree Thry,
 Mick must be wondering what the feck he has got himself into.

Thats what i was so pi55ed off with too Brettie.
No-one wanted to run hard enough for long enough. Thats why we had to bomb the ball so often and were so easy to read.
Can someone explain to me our game plan?

Sorry I don't want to read 10 pages so if it's reposted so be it. This club has for as long as I can remember been a soft adversary when the going gets tough.

If MM wants to sacrifice at the draft table he has my full support.

How many times did Murph stream into the forward 50, only to meekly pop the ball up in the air to a 2-1 contest against? Is he fcuking retarded?

The problem is that we think we can play like 'Mandrake the Magician' but have the skill and decision making ability of 'Bozo the Clown'

They try to do flashy, high risk things often choosing the wrong option (shots for goal rather than giving it off, handballing to players under pressure) when there are better alternatives.


Keep it simple....but that sometimes requires a degree of hard work.
The majority of our players seem to fall into two groups.
One lot has the skills....but don't work hard enough for long enough.
The other work really hard but totally lack the skills.

Im gob smacked as to how people can continue backing the players and pointing at the coach.  These guys did the exact same thing when Ratten was coaching for his career and finals were on the line last year.  A season on and our coach has been with this mob for less than 12 months and these guys have done it again with finals on the line again.

The players lost me when they failed to rally behind the coach.  Why?  Because they are a group that have been molly coddled to the point that they can only play well when everything is going to plan.

Miss a few shots at goal and the collective crap their dacks.

Its time for us to back someone to do whatever it takes.

Without a shadow of a doubt.....unfortunately I don't think Mick knows how to fix it, it's in that bad a shape.
