Round one and we're already putting compromised teams out on the park due to injuries and boneheaded selection. Odds on Voss surviving the year must be very slim.

He will survive the year, but if he wanted a contract for next year, conceding 12 goals in a quarter is one way to make sure you lose your chance to keep coaching into next year.

That quarter is going to hang over his head like the sword of damocles all season.

Saad was finished last year and is cooked.
Williams cannot play in defence ever, still can't believe people think he can.
MacGovern is a real problem because he can't be trusted to do the right thing.
Young looks bereft of confidence - doubt he ever had any.

There's four only getting a game because critical players are out. Vos continues to place faith in blokes who continue to cook us, and him.  So Michael....learn from your mistake and move on.

Plus we lost three of our better players who are in their prime.
Crap list management.

I sat behind the goals at ground level so btw that and the goons in front us standing up all the time, it was to “see” the game. My comments are
As follows:
- we controlled the game quite well in the first half
- we transitioned the ball very well in the first half.
- at about the 10 min mark of the 3rd, we looked out of petrol and fatigued. The mistakes started at that point.
 I thought it was going to be a tough assignment  but a 12 goal to 4 3rd was as bad as I have seen from us. I dont know what we do at the 1/2 time break in the rooms with food and drink but its been a while that we come out in the 3rd looking they need a sleep because their bellies are full.
Not a good start to 2027

I must admit I've seen nothing of the game. But some things stood out anyway.
[1] Our fitness level does not seem up to par.
I know it was in Sydney and it was hot and humid, but our lack of fitness cost us most of the games we lost. To see us fade out again suggests we haven't addressed that at all.
[2] We still looked slow.
That one hurts, considering how much we've changed the side.
[3] We lacked discipline:
Unforgivable, especially when it is the Captain who was probably the worst offender.
[4] We still didn't give our forwards much of a chance.
What can I say? We controlled the game for most of it, but didn't kick many goals. They controlled much less of the game, but they piled on the goals when it counted.
[5] Even with the changes in the coaching box, we still struggled in that area.

We have a long way to go, but these problems bode poorly. Lots of headed rolled at the end of 2025. More will roll if we can't show some improvement.
