Elapsed form says the chances of us beating anybody are very slim. To get to 11 wins we need to get 7 from 11.

We lost to a undermanned WC team through lack of effort not through poor goal kicking....The buck stops with Liddle and Lloyd this time...not the usual sacrificial lamb in the coach.

Prediction is based on nothing but exposed form.We lose to top 8 sides.We beat sides outside the 8......but lose 1 we shouldn't.That gets you to 11-11. Quote Selected

Re: Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 12: Carlton vs West Coast Reply #94 – June 06, 2021, 09:24:03 pm As dissatisfied as I was with that we could have won that with better conversion. West Coast took their chances better, but we are a side void of confidence and fitness. We carry 4 or 5 that don't look capable of playing 4 quarters each and every week.Harry going down was a big issue and as much as I like de koning he isn't a 4 quarter player at this stage.

Out of form and confidence. I think we lack players in key areas, have too many of a certain type of player and not enough depth in other areas.In short I think we need a list reset with an emphasis on the midfield, the Williams move was a failure trying to cheat with him as a mid and Martin is the same at this point in time as a part time mid and we need more specialist midfield support for Cripps and Walsh urgently.

The game is won in the midfield. We haven't got close to putting a combination of reliable consistent mids together. At best it's been piecemeal. Not sure if the personnel will come from the current list, or arrive off season.This group needs to have the balance of inside/outside attributes. They need to have the experience that enables them to know who/how/when to use their teammate. That takes time although can happen quite quickly with a consistent line up. Due to injury, form, coaching decisions, underdevelopment, or favour, we've not seen that midfield play together. Think about the midfielders we have: Murph, Ed, Cripps, Setters, Samo, Fisher, Kennedy, Dow, LOB, Walsh, Stocker, Philp. Once we see this midfield get games together, I think we'll see more wins. Dare to dream that this coming together coincides with some good health and form of the fwd/back lines 🤞 Quote Selected 2 Likes Liked by: shawny, ElwoodBlues1

Is that team they fielded today a top side? Please. How you think beating GWS away after the bye is any easier then our last 2 losses is beyond me. Your correct our 4 wins were against bottom sides but all 4 we should have comfortably accounted for yet all except the dockers were underwhelming wins. We lost to 4 top teams imo in Melbourne, bulldogs, port and tigers. The other losses were to teams we should be beating imo if we had improved as we all expected but we failed all those challenges. Hope your right about us storming home but it’s more wishful thinking then reading our formline so far. A midfield consisting of Cripps who looks about as unfit as any midfielder I’ve ever seen, a 50 game star In Walsh and then a cooked tagger in Ed so good luck trying to compete with anyone with any confidence when thats your midfield. And remind me all the stars we have waiting on the injury front to help fill those massive holes. We are miles off it. Time to take off the blue glasses mate.

There’s no hunger to play to the death. We start well but then when things don’t go our way - we kick too many behinds or the oppo get a run on, it almost seems like you can see them say this is too hard and then just play it out and mid speed.It’s bloody annoying to watch.We will not win most of our next games, in fact I think we’ll capitulate badly because there’s really now nothing left to play for. Those on contracts are on good $ and not up for renewal and those that are up for renewal well we’re still waiting on. How many times have I heard over the last 6-8 weeks that Cripps is as good as a done deal. Where’s the Farging signed contract then? Where’s McKays? He’s leadinf the Coleman and we’re still farting around. This team just craps me. I used to love footy and would watch most games every weekend, couldn’t get enough of it and other games mattered because they’d matter to our chances and our place on the ladder. But since they bought in Malthouse And barring that final against Richmond, it’s just been misery. My partner and I rarely watch other games now, our interest has gone snd we know sure as anything that when our season is in our hands, We frigging do nothing about it. Again.

How depressing. Your last paragraph is bloody depressing but worseits brutally honest. Apart from who you mentioned the rest have question marks over them and can’t be relied upon to take us where we thought the rebuild would. Htf after 6 years in a rebuild we only manage to add 1 real midfielder to the group we had 6 years ago is beyond comprehension. Whether we blame drafting stuff ups, lack of being able to develop, lack of getting any real ready made true bonifide mids in trade period I dunno. Still 1 midfielder in 6 years is a joke and imo the joint should be overhauled again from top to bottomunless there is a clear explanation for that. Quote Selected
