Looking very hard for positives. I'll even take green shoots.
We now have as many tackles as points on the board 😵‍💫

We've managed to neutralize / equalize the 2nd and 3rd quarters. If we did that from the start, it would've been a fairly even contest. Hopefully we can show the same fight in the last.

I hear you Paul, but provide one tangible reason why we should retain Voss going forwards.  Not hope, not a hunch, not because some other side stuck with a coach and it worked for them - because there's  many examples of sticking with a coach that took a club even lower.
IMHO both players, the coach and the entire football club are all equally culpable in this clusterf**K and they all should be up for review - it's just easier to sack the coach.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

LoveNavy...one positive is O'Farrell.  There's our next premiership CHB.

provide me a reason why you think the next training wheels coach or the next topping-up-their-super coach is going to do better ? Provide me a reason why you think the next batch of high draft picks is going to do better ? There are no guarantees with any plan. It seems reasonable to me that one should avoid going back to a set of ideas that have failed repeatedly and that one should try something different.

His progress has been quite astounding IMO. None of the "talls take a while" for this young man. It's a credit 🙌 
To be fair, a few of the kids have shown a bit this year. Are we capable of growth, cohesion, execution of a modern gamestyle? That’s the question.

If the wheel was going to turn. It will turn quicker with a bloke who is already at the club, knows the players etc
Getting a new coach in, there is the introductory stage where he needs a year before he can even evaluate things.....and there's no guarantee that he'll be better after that.

Adrian Hickmott is the forwards coach. Kade Simpson is defence and David Hale mids.

When you have 17 small forwards in your side, and you are trying a dump kick out of defence, chances are your blokes will be outmarked.
Need to be smarter coming out of defence.
.....and going inside 50

An improvement, certainly, as the game went on. But still disappointing that we couldn't bring the same intensity at the start.
Live Long and Prosper!
