We push everyone, top to bottom, just don't get around to beating anyone.

Poor finishing, we miss to many gettable chances in front of goal.

 Sometimes we get belted as well.

Brock and Armfield are probably shot as senior players and I think its time for them to spend the rest of the year in the NB's
Cripps when fit and Holman should be played......I thought Johnson was reasonable and just needs to get used to the quicker pace of the game
but he is a player to persist with....

How can 22 guys be out of form simultaneously?

Symptomatic of lack of confidence and poise.

Butter fingers McLean should only play at Etihad. He's too slow for the larger grounds.

Throughout the Game thread, there was plenty of teeth-grinding, kicking of the cat, head-butting of brick walls, all in despair at the quality of our list and the obvious passengers we are carrying right now.     

Now we have to accept that our list isn't great, I'm sure most would concede that point. However, there really is the makings of something decent there with the young guys coming through.

Even though Menzel had a quiet night & Docherty rushed his disposals, they are going to be good players for us over the long-term. Throw in Buckley, young Johnson who wasn't fazed by the big occasion tonight and it is starting to take some shape.  

We also have that next rung up of older players like Murphy, Gibbs, Henderson, Yarran, Everitt, & Curnow to work with the aging players of Simpson, Walker, Judd & Thomas and we are not far off the mark.

McLean & Carrazzo really stood out tonight but for all the wrong reasons, they were slow, couldn't lay a tackle and seemed rather disinterested. Warnock got his hand to the aggot a lot but its highly debateable whether it went to our advantage. Jamison was a non-event tonight and he showed that he is going to struggle in big games at times.

Overall, we stunk it up badly early in the piece and handed them an easy lead and then spent the rest of the night playing "catch-up football", something you can only achieve with solid tackling and ball disposal.

Frustrating & infuriating overall but I'm not worried about that, I'm more focussed on the young kids in the team, they are the future and they are the ones to get everyone excited in anticipation about what the future may hold. 

Really hope that Johnson keeps his spot for the rest of the season and Nick Graham gets selected next week too.  

Looking forward to seeing some of the older guys changed over for some new young up & comers, we will be good to go big-time !!!

Agree with all of that....I think the role of Full back needs to be looked at seriously by the club...we need to find a replacement for Jamison who was
often yards behind Cloke tonight and was very dissapointing.
