Devoid of confidence, yes. Personally, I will still reserve judgment until he's had a decent, uninterrupted run.

Seriously. Lynch kicked over 600 career goals. Bradshaw over 500. Paddy will be lucky if he gets to 100. 50 might even be a stretch at this rate. You really dislike the fella don't you? I think I would like to see 20 or 30 relatively continuous games before I make judgment on a 21 yo key forward. R...

Dunny for Koby, Hickey for Longer, and White to replace either Webster or Newnes... I'm not sure whose boot i fear most these days. Paddy must play. He needs continuity. We need him to get some continuity to make a proper assessment. Statistically he played a better game than Members with 20% less T...

Webster defended OK, but he butchered the pill. Gets burnt the other way every time too

Getting games into players is great but only if they are contributing Hunter Clark 7 disposals from 66% game time Ben Long 8 disposals from 89% game time Paddy McCartin 10 disposals from 75% game time Jack Sinclair 10 disposals from 82% game time With supply like that is it any wonder Tim Membrey 8...

It’s not only the coach that should be scrutinised - 50 possession Mitchell would have been handy ... what about our recruiters?? The same 50 possession Mitchell that didnt lay a tackle, didnt have one single 1%er, 12 clangers, and out of all that, was still only involved in 9 Hawks scoring chains ...

I may be slightly biased, but I think Acres is utilized wrong. He didnt have a very good game today, but I can't remember him being in the middle for one centre bounce. He is on thing North didnt have. A big bodied, tall midfielder. A point of difference. Surely it can't hurt. Over 20 touches still....

don't need silk, scott has less and smashed us.

Says a lot doesn't it? I get tired of hearing all this recruiting crap. Coaching can be, and in our case, is, a very real problem

Non issue today. Not even worthy of a mention. WE were horrendous

Game plan going forward is very clear. Kick it high to top of the square and hope. Opposition all know it and get number there. Ball then hits ground and goes to other end with little pressure from our slow forwards. It’s not a lack of a game plan. It’s just a shite one. You forgot an important par...

This. Exactly. We have some fine players... And they all look uninspired

Just to rub it in.... There is an average wage of over 250k per annum on that field today.

McCartin the worst number 1 draft pick ever. What a pathetic bunch of losers from the coach down. Bottom 4 more like another wooden spoon to our ample collection. I’m sorry but who takes responsibility for this? No 1 draft pick who can’t inflience a game at all? Can’t play deep and the forward line...

Sad to say, but we are actually still part of the leagues laughing stock. Radio commentary, television commentary... It makes my blood boil listening to people laugh and joke. But we deserve it

Any chance of using Acres big body in the middle?? Can't hurt

Long played well and better than I expected. I have never rated him but today was very promising. There is a reason why the coaches want him What did he do that made you think he played well? I can remember one handball in tight on the members wing that opened the play right up. It was super quick ...

My favorite player since the day he was drafted. I just see how much of a weapon he could be. Wins the ball, hard to tackle, is building quite a tank, good above his head and a super reliable set shot. Makes quite a few silly errors still... Maturity will help. Gets torched on this forum but I see h...

Hipwood is a year younger and already has 50% more career goals than Paddy. And I think Hipwood started down back. Let's face the facts. Part of the reason Paddy gets concussion is his lack of awareness and lack of athleticism. Hard to argue. Mind you... Eric has had a better and more consistent ru...

There will be plenty of opportunity. The general concensus on here is that our selectors aren't bold enough, lack dare, etc... I'm more excited for Rd 1 now that I've seen the team. Sure, Long hasn't really earned a spot, but I'm excited about what he could potentially become with a bit of confidenc...

I'd sack the recruiters first. I think we need to replace them - we have 10 inside midfielders - who all do the same thing. The coach isn't to blame for that. We need run and carry - 2 or 3 quality run and carry midfielders with a bit of toe and good kicking skills to help Steven out - we need to i...
