kruddler look at the lack of defensive structures how many goals from loose defending - no system at all from kicking in

we are one trick ponies sure we have slow midfield but fmd the lack of system is for 5 years is too much.

he has to be replaced with a modern coach. or we are going nowhere regardless of the players we have

Emotive BS.

In that 5 years we made a prelim. It is NOT all doom and gloom.

Lack of defensive structures.....
We lost Jack.
We are without Weitering.
We are without O'Farrell
We are without Dean
Thats our 4 best KPPs
Our next best would probably be...
Kemp - required forward
McGovern - required forward
Which leaves us with....
Young - who we asked to look elsewhere
Derksen - who was free to a good home
Haynes - a 34yo playing his first game back from injury

Gee, i wonder why our defense is struggling.


Rubbish and more excuses. 

We have never had defensive structures and missing 3 defenders 2 of which have played under 10 games if not the reason mate.

Voss is a 2 time failed coach and will
never get another senior role after he sacked later this year which says it all.

Our backline is shizen. Haynes is reminding me of his 1st game v Richmond. Young is a ragdoll toy for Thilthorpe. Boyd is making shocking decisions. Derksen is out of his league. Cowan and Newman battling hard but they are under the pump so much. Starting Cripps on the bench and suddenly they smash us in the middle and we just fall apart. Something definitely wrong with Cripps' right hand. Walsh on fire in the 1st and unsighted in the 2nd. Smith hardly touched it. Cerra hardly touched it. Williams ditto. Kemp and Evans, zero impact. H is at least bringing the ball to ground but not much else. Hopefully as we're down at halftime we're saving ourselves for the 2nd.😝

Terrible 2nd qtr, umps did us no favours. The Walker 50m was a disgrace. Walsh 15 in the first, 3 in the second. This is the difference between say Diesel and Walsh. Diesel would get 15 in the first and his mind set was Im on for 60 today. Walsh's mindset  appeared to be Ive done my bit.
I'd put Harry back for craps and giggles.

Can we please remember Boyd hasnt really played much and Derks is in game 2. Give them a chance to gel.

A few errors but more Adelaide not getting closely checked enough, or our players both going for a player and both being taken out.

Im a little over Harry not keeping his feet but i get hes got 3 against him each time, rarely a free kick 🙄

Agree whats going on with Evans, he needs to do much more.

HOK has been ok!

No other game plan, sure.

Cause and effect though.

What game plan do you want us to have? One where we bring on an abundance of fast, running ball users to mix it up? We don't have them on the list.

We are handcuffed to this game plan because we don't have the troops to do anything else.
