I've jumped off the Voss train, it has derailed.
Cripps is not leading.
McKay and Kemp are soft as butter in a pack or one on one.
And Young can bugger off to Auskick where he can learn a few skills.
No system or plan, just seems to be U16 style football once we get pressured.
But used to this now.
25 years of waiting, building, green buds, messiahs, next years... I think we are ALL JACK of it.

Im almost 66, grew up with Bomber Sheldon, been ucky to see us win the last few flags. Seen lots of good 👍.  This mess is f7ckinfg got to me.

Unfortunately its taken the club too long to get someone like Wright into the organisation.  In time he will sort the Football Department out.

What really passes me off is our CULTURE has gone out the window.

We're miles off most of the the top 8.  Reckon Good Friday could turn real bad 👎 😕

We've dominated sections of every game so far this year.

But it's now become predictable we can't maintain it.
We know it
Other clubs know it.
That's a mental barrier.
I'm not sure how a coach has the ability to change that up...but if it continues Voss will be the one in the gun.

But its a bit disappointing and a sad refelction that one of the most prolific players attacking the ball and the opposition was a first gamer.

What we desperately need is a game where we break that circuit.
It may be just the catalyst needed to get back on track.
But there are a few changes that need to be made, more based around effort rather than ability.

Kemp was lamentable - even less effort than Charlie used to provide.

McKay was as usual - not good enough.

Young had his usual (2 or 3) panic attacks but I thought he was reasonably effective as a defender and his ruckwork in defence allowed Pitto to stay with Gawn; a tactic that seemed to work for at least half a game.

Some might say they predicted this from us this year.
Others would say that person was being negative.

Some might say that a few losses and people would immediately start calling the coaches head.
Others said that we wouldnt be put in that position because we are half decent and play crap teams early.

Well...
Some are not surprised that the pitchforks have already been sharpened...

All going to script so far.... unfortunately.
