Basically, Carlise and Lonie having a good crack at it- Richo no idea how to coach. Midfield pathetic. Jack Steven must be on the on the bus to Sandy can't believe he is is a shadow of the player he was. Acres probably would have been OK today. These guys don't seem to know what they are supposed to do.

We need to have a better ruck than Longer as he does nothing after the hit out.
Watching the VFL where Hickey was taking marks and he kicked a nice goal.
I think it's time to give Hickey another chance.

Had a bunch of very quiet players in the first half, hopefully they can turn it around in the second!

Steven being tagged by Suban, he's never been very good at breaking tags. Should plonk him forward like in the North game and watch the goals flow

Has Roberton been found out by opposition coaches? Hasn't been up to the same standard of his first couple of months

I haven't seen Mav Weller do much and maybe Acres would have been better on the big ground.

Longer has taken more marks today than for the whole season combined before today.

Also one more mark than Rooey 4-3. Rooey needs 9 marks to break the record but only the 3 to half time.

We really need someone better than Lonie in that small forward position.

Five frees to Walters at half time. What's the record for one player for a game?

Exactly!
Well I'm at the game and it's clearly impacting the game.
With a bit of luck we will run over them in the second half

Yep, we're 2 goals better off because of terrible umpiring decisions

WRT the coaching, slam it forward is the method. Some players are marginal at best. Dunstan very average midfielder with one great move forward. Lonie not strong. Even billings looked scared to kick for goal, the opposition look confident in front. Definitely something poor with our coaching


This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

yep let's give hickey another chance. He had two bad games and got consigned to Sandringham for 4 months as punishment after being in Aa discussions last year.

Mav on bench injured, upper leg maybe groin?

Not sure if he'll be back on

We're such an average team with an average coach. Something needs to change.

We need a goal kicking coach as we can't kick from dead in front

Can"t see a spot for Lonie if he won't back hImself to take a shot. As a small forward his role is to take shots. Also Gresham should have set sail then instead of handing off to Riewoldt.
