So hard to watch. We have so many years of sh1t ahead.

Our kids are miles away and the poor things are playing beside donkeys like Jones, Palmer, White and Thomas - then you add in below average players like Smedts, Rowe, graham, Kerridge and they have little guidance. Apart from cripps, Weitering and doc amazingly we have no other players under 23 of any quality.

I'm depressed.

Yes, and don't forget our outs - Murph, Gibbs, Krooz etc. Although one wonders what if any difference they would've made.

The optimists on this site should be reaching for the panic button about now... zero structure, zero midfield and zero leadership on display.

The kids aren't the problem, its the non-existent "middle tier" hacks that produce so little.

Sh1ts me no end how the aints cough up chump change draft picks and end up with valuable players like Stevens (K), Bruce, Longer, Steele and we continue to recruit absolute spuds like Palmer and Smedts.  Can't believe some on this site reckon those blokes have value.

A thick black line should be drawn through a lot of blokes going forward, the likes of Buckley, Graham, Thomas, Boekhorst, Smedts, Palmer, Rowe, White etc etc have had a lot of chances and show F all far too often.  Play kids and build a future, don't continue falling behind with the same bunch of hacks.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

WTF are they trying to achieve? I just can't believe the coaches would send them out there just to swan around and not try??

Turnovers on the half back line when no real pressure is on it hurting us on the scoreboard . No direction and no inspiration in the forward half at all

In many ways this summarizes our position as a rebuilding team.
Some glimpses from Charlie and Cunningham.
Would like to see some intensity under the pressure of fatigue last quarter.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

You would think players old be putting in the effort for a game round one, but not seeing much desire in our guys

The Hyphen reckons it'll take ten years to overcome the damage the MM era did to our club, he thinks so much damage has been done to the club culture we have to lose virtually all the exposed staff and players before we are clear any effects. They are damaged goods!

I thought Bolt's did OK last season to arrest the slide, but the second half of the season exposed just how deep the wounds go. Let's see what happens when the real season starts.

The third quarter was almost exclusively played on St Kilda's terms, with Saints recording 17 more forward 50s in the term (the largest differential in a preseason quarter since 2014).

Early days....half this team will be Bullants players, we lack leadership and know how today, still think we needed to recruit a player like Barlow to help Cripps and add some experience and size around the ball...no need to panic, we need our best team on the field to compete and lets be realistic...the Saints are a more developed list and we wont be making ground on them anytime soon..

Bolts is a crafty bugger. I would not put anything past him. He seems the perfect type to try a technique like foxing. Then again.

Definitely depressing to listen to this going on. Our putrid recruiting and player development has really come back to bite us on the arse. How can we have people in the club paid to make such horrific decisions. I'm lost and disillusioned.

Staggered that our lack of scoring was so well highlighted last yr & seems to have had zero improvement this year?

White just about gets his head taken off, twice, in a tackle....walks off holding his neck and gets penalised for holding the ball.

So the tackle no longer has to be legal? Should he change his number to 14 and turn his jumper into hoops??
