Saad was finished last year and is cooked.
Williams cannot play in defence ever, still can't believe people think he can.
MacGovern is a real problem because he can't be trusted to do the right thing.
Young looks bereft of confidence - doubt he ever had any.

There's four only getting a game because critical players are out. Vos continues to place faith in blokes who continue to cook us, and him.  So Michael....learn from your mistake and move on.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Plus we lost three of our better players who are in their prime.
Crap list management.

Round one and we're already putting compromised teams out on the park due to injuries and boneheaded selection. Odds on Voss surviving the year must be very slim.

He will survive the year, but if he wanted a contract for next year, conceding 12 goals in a quarter is one way to make sure you lose your chance to keep coaching into next year.

That quarter is going to hang over his head like the sword of damocles all season.

Was OK early on. Got a fair bit of the ball but didn't always use it wisely, then tired like the rest of the team. Problem for him is he has no pace. Just like George, Cripps, Ollie H and to a certain extent Walsh. Smith has a bit of toe, but he's just a baby.

Lord can't handball effectivly in close. I saw it last year and again last night.  A combination of strength and technique and he plays along side the best in the business.

The next month will seal his fate.
Drop any of the next 3 matches against Richmond, Melbourne and North then he won't be coaching in 2026.  Lose them all and Good Friday will be his last game

He's a player I have a bit of hope in.
He turns 21 in  couple of weeks,so he's still very young.
He wasn't our worst by any stretch, but once the pressure came on he was pretty much overwhelmed.
The intensity of that period was so much greater than the practice matches and Lord struggled a bit with the speed of the game.

As bb points out his disposals became rushed and inaccurate as the pressure increased.
Now as I see it, Lord's plays a bit of a role as a defensive midfielder.
He's one of the very few of our mids with a strong defensive side to his game.
Exactly what we needed when the Swans midfield started to cut us up.
And therein lies one of our problems...we don't have many.

An interesting stat that perhaps reflects the difference between a practice game and a real game is this one.
Lord had 13 tackles against Geelong in the practice game.
Last night he had 0

Agree and Harry is a major worry imo. He is over 200cm and plays like a mid sized forward. Has no presence and if he is all we have a main marking forward we are stuffed.

Harry was fine last year when he played. Last night he looked ill.

While he may be desperately needed in defence, I wouldn't mind seeing how Derksen goes in the forward line.

A loss next week will do it. Obvious they are not playing for him. Saw that last year. Should have cut the cord then. They just stopped trying last night.

So 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter the boys decided not to play for Voss? Don't think so.

We haven't ran out games well since we sacked Andrew Russell.
