Sorry to dampen all your hopes guys but lets be realistic and take off those rosey color glasses for a minute please. We just lost to a side that is not even in the 8! Those who are pumping up LOB- he had 0 tackles. He's rubbish. Fisher the same. Thats why we conceded 70+ inside 50's. We need tough wingmen, not soft coc@! who run up the wing getting the odd kick and looking good. Cotrell is, was and always will be a spud. You cannot polish a turd. Durden (big one) the same. Also Walsh. We all love him but have you seen his meters gained this year? It's putrid. He is disposal seeking, then giving it off too quick to avoid contact. Needs to get that out of his game because it is costing us. Kennedy very poor in the wet. Went up and down on the Heavy 10 track like the thing I backed at Flemington in the last on Saturday which is still comming. Needs to work on his running, if that is genetically possible. Well Cripps did it so maybe he can otherwise he will be delisted next contract. Martin is a thief and should be delisted also to make way for Amon at the end of the year. My final comment will piss people off, but i am happy to revist and requote at the end of the year for those who are going to abuse me now. Here it is: "We will not make finals in 2022" after losing this pathetic game to Richmond. I'm serious. We need 4 more wins. Where are they comming from ? Maybe WC is one. Maybe. Adelaide? Good luck with that on their ground. Rest of them... doubtful. We had an easy draw and bathed in the glory.
Too critical and harsh there IBWT old son. To a man our boys gave their all and I didn't see any who didn't, nor did I see any 'spuds' wearing the navy blue. Errors, departing from 'our way' and some inconsistency from a few were costly and disappointing. I have absolutely no doubt that in previous years we'd have been spanked. We met a very good and experienced side who've hit form and are at near full strength. We'll learn plenty from that outing, especially how to play in the wet and what to do when an opponent clamps your strengths.
I have absolute confidence in this list and our coaching group to address what was lacking in the first qtr and a half, and institute effective measures. Inconsistency is our enemy not talent or endeavour, and that's about adherence to our way and concentration/focus. There is no way our coaching group, especially the Vossmeister, will allow or tolerate us being found out for toughness.
