Only saw the last 2 quarters and from what I saw people are correct placing us in the bottom 4. Bottom 2 maybe. I will give another rant after I have had a chance to watch the first half. Judd and Docherty tried to do what they could, the rest were just carried by 2 players. Liam, go f@ck off to where you came from, and Jaksch you are a complete liability. ::)

Christ... Going to be a long 5 months.

So, start playing the kids...?
Kids are not the answer. They played 2 tonight who showed they have a long way to go. The senior players need to drive the improvement. The missed kicks by senior players was deplorable. Someone said we are VFL std, we wouldn't have beaten an EDFL side playing like that.

2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Smith didn't expect to play a full game but the injury to Thomas changed all that.

Picking Smith and making him Sub is a losing strategy, our old fashioned coaches do not understand the Sub, I suppose that is why they push so hard for it to go!

Docherty, Judd, Carrazzo with >>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest.

Conned again....

I can't think of an area where we were better than this time last year.

Yes.

Well the experts are right, we're a less than very ordinary club, with an ordinary list, poor on-field leaders (but hey they're fun on social media)... and coaches who are living entirely on reputation.

Oh, and, tribe... really... tribe! What a ridiculous and shallow attempt to bond us. Marketing only works when your product is worth promoting... ours, isn't.

I fear we have a CEO expert in corporate jargon but little else.

Any guns in the top 5 this year?

Or do we continue to draft 22-24 year olds wh can't mark, kick or tackle?

Agreed. 

What makes me sad is that I see no solutions or upside.  We have no depth in the magoos and our coaching staff don't want to change their thinking.

You're assuming MM gets to the milestone, after tonight it is no certainty! ;)

Thought Docherty was good.   Menzel showed a bit.

When the Tigers had the tempo in the 2nd we just can't slow a side down and hold onto the pill.

Yep Docherty was the highlight, Menzel showed a bit, but he's done that all his career, we need Menzel to step up.

At least hendo ran around and demanded the ball but their rebounding backs flogged us.  I don't like Mendel playing high as he is the only smaller bloke with the smarts to create space.

Christ we are slow. Buckley and Boekhorst must play next week. 
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Based on tonight's performance, Doc, Menzel and Judd are the least of our worries.

Docherty was terrific and I can't recall him making an error all night ....... give him the captaincy.
