5 minutes into the 3rd up by 3 goals, an angry Jack stood up to Cripps grabbed his guernsey gave him a mouthful, team mate helps Jack gives Cripps a shove. Harry just stands there like a stuffed dummy.
All downhill from there.
Harry is the biggest pussycat in footy. He scares no one.

Seems worse after losing his mate Charlie, I think both McKays have to think about their future. They remind me a bit of Tom Boyd from the Bulldogs and that the demands of the game mentally are proving too much for  them.

SOS smiling, Fake pity from TDK and Jack after the game about how bad we are and how they feel our pain??
The club should be embarrassed and as I said prior game win, lose or draw I'm not talking about the coaches future based on this game. This loss is all on the players and the leaders and makes me think we might have to import some leadership from another club because there are hardly any options..
I was going to ask for two first rounders for Harry in a trade to Tassie , might have to rethink that and beg for two second rounders. He needs a spell away from the game and Brisbane can probably just rub Bens name off the whiteboard  and replace it with Harry, no need to change the low confidence.
The media should have a field day with the players his week and rightly so, surely the club have to try more youth now and look to the future..

I told you we wouldnt respond. This group doesnt know how to when challenged.
Hope dies hard...

EB I would drop a dozen with ease from last's s-show.
Yep. That was just about as low as we have been. No sign of the sunrise or a single green shoot. Whatever it may be something major has just got to give. We look devoid of passion, devoid of skills and devoid of leadership. It will be a looong road back even when we manage to find where that road starts.

[3] Our recruiter certainly deserve their share of the blame. Rarely have I seen a list with so little athleticism. We didn't have anyone who could run with St. Kilda's better players. Whose fault is this? We lack pace all over the field. We have few players with real spring. Many of our better players are as slow as treacle!

[4] Our fitness people also need to admit that they've failed. There are reports that our guys have never been fitter. That doesn't stack up. Otherwise, we would be running guys down late in games. Otherwise, opposition players wouldn't break out tackles so easily. Our guys are weak, not just the youngsters, who have some excuse.
Recruiting HAS been horrendous. Where are our ‘buzzy’-type players that hit the ball at speed and create chaos? Think Watson at Hawthorn.
I heard the commentator from yesterday’s Brisbane match say they’re the best because they play consistently with precision AND speed - basically the opposite of us.

As if highlighting BOTH of you points above - why is Jagga Smith still so skinny? How come no-one mentored him at the gym during his time out and put some muscle on him? A good weights regime and decent protein laden diet should see any 20 year old bulk up considerably. Instead we’ve got yet another accumulator who doesn’t impact or influence effectively.

So many dropped balls on and off the field.
All great points. I suspect though with Jagga the sole focus would have been getting the knee rehabbed 110%, they may have resulted in compromising size and strength increase. Just guessing, he has time on this side to get bigger and stronger. My view is our kids are the least of our problems.
