Will come out fired up for this one,  but maintaining for 4 qtrs is the real problem they have.   Never say never,   but not overly optimistic that we can avoid 0-4.

Another time when we keep the opposition to a losing score but cannot score ourselves for love or money.
Glad I wasn't there; I wouldn't have been happy.

In reply to Kruddler  from the other thread :

Who comes in is a seperate List Management discussion.

However, if Motlop was a competent player at this level, then we would still be able to see his skills and contributions anyway.

We didn't once again !!

Who comes in is a separate list management discussion? No. Its 100% relative to this discussion. If you want to drop someone. You need to replace them with someone better.
There isn't.

From the in-game....
Find me some players to bring in next week to replace all the 'hacks' we have in the side.
Find me someone to replace Acres who had 30 touches, 5 tackles and 3 clearances
Find me someone to replace Motlop who had 11 touches, 3 tackles and 1 shot on goal (more touches than Fogarty, Moir, White)
Find me someone........anyone.....to replace anyone we have in the side.
Bueller......bueller???

What a disaster this season has turned into.

Really cannot help but wonder why we got rid of Owies and Kennedy - maybe Kennedy was needed by Cripps, and Owies sure as crap was our best small forward.

Yes we’ve got injuries but that doesn’t excuse the pathetic play we witnessed in the second half tonight.

Hewitt played well, Cerra was ok, JSOS, Weiters, TDK for the first half and…. That’s about it.

Complete shockers from Ollie, Young, Kemp, Doch, McGovern, Motlop.

Williams darts in and out of games - has the flair but not the 100%  full game workrate. Jesse has a tiny bit of flair and fk all work rate. mcG just does my head in, from the get go he has flown for the ball too early or underneath it, cannot be relied on and how many years on, it’s gotten worse.

Not sure what happened to Walsh after a great start he disappeared.

We allowed Cripps to carry us over the line time and again and he can’t do that anymore so when things turn to crap, everyone turns to crap.

Another weekend down the drain thinking of how crap my club is.

Four weeks in a row.....luckily we have WCE next week but top four this year not a chance.

Like to see the excuses Voss comes up with this time.

Williams looked to have injured his wrist. ::)

The cupboard is bare.
The only option we have at the moment is to replace AFL players who aren't performing with VFL players who aren't performing.

I can’t see how we win any games any time soon.

Statistics:
Walsh had 31 possessions, 10 tackles and 3 clearances.
Acres had 30 possessions, 5 tackles and 3 clearances.
Hewett had 29 possessions, 6 tackles and 7 clearances.


At the other end:
Cripps had 16 disposals and 1 clearance. Clearly not 100 %. But how can we replace him?
Charlie Curnow had 8 possessions for 1 goal 1. Again, clearly struggling for fitness. Can we afford this? Who can replace him?
Will White had 10 possessions and 3 points. Not the worst. Would 3 goals have made the difference?

Jesse Motlop had 11 possessions and 1 point. Serious questions must be asked. He is no longer a 1st gamer.
Lachie Fogarty had 11 possessions and 1 point. 5 tackles, but still no goals.
Brodie Kemp had 7 possessions. :( No score after 5 goals.
Ashton Moir had 2 possessions. Very disappointing, but he, at least, is still a baby. Still, we need more from a guy who has serious talent.
Live Long and Prosper!

Stating the bleeding obvious too - our seniors should be setting up plays, settling the youngsters to kick into a forward line that is leading. But they all just continually bomb it in, to be out marked tome and again. This makes me scream. Who is coaching this? If the coaches are not coaching that, then can players be dragged when they choose that dumb option? So sick of it barrelling out of our forward line because of a
Pathetic entry in! We waste so much energy doing this week in week out - enough.

Why was Boyd dropped? He who has a bit of mongrel? Was he sick?

Lucky to be in front at 1/2 time.  Not sure if short passes are the go when it's raining - surely a turnover is better 50 metres away,  rather than 10?

Lacked composure all night - were rushing when a moment of time (breathe!) was needed, made some ordinary decisions and skill errors were bad.

Maybe we need to lie down in the first half and run over the opposition in the second to nearly get the result.
