We should have had another 3 goals this quarter and it would be game on. Sadly our forward line poor as it has been most of the season

They have a player loose inside 50 every time they go forward.

I like the cut of Marshall's jib - hope he gets more games - at least he is hard at the contest

Sinclair reminds me of the one-hit-wonder Shane Ellis.

Yeah he's been alright, modest game, but I've liked him so far. Did a nice spin move before to get out of pressure.

How have they not changed the f**king gameplan at all?

What is Richo doing upstairs?!

Why do we keep going wide and hoping someone takes a big contested mark?!?

Surely try something different Richo!

A massive failure to let a fringe player like Sinclair to tear us a new one

Another September off, hard to predict when we will be back there. Some major changes need to be made at all levels of this club if we are actually going to be successful.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Yes he's a outside player, but haven't you noticed how clean he is, and he can actually kick!

Just looking at body language this and last weeks' game and the team is not enjoying their footy- I reckon Richo has lost them. This game is another insipid effort by the team, not just a few individuals, and when the team is playing bad football then the coach needs to wear it. Richo won't be taking us to a flag.

3 things I'd like to see
1 - get Carlisle off Sinclair. He is embarrassing himself.
2 - Jack Steele to kick the ball rather than handball to a team mate under pressure.
3 - Billings moved away from forward line. If you can't kick for goal why would you be in the forward line?

Richardson needs a right hand man at years end. Otherwise he's just another statistic.

Carlisle getting torn apart, why not switch him up with Bruce?

Yeah Bruce has kicked two, done nothing else.

Put Billy back in the hole.
Try Carlisle in the ruck

Try something fu**ing different for god sake Richo.

What are you doing up there? Twiddling your thumbs?!? Do you have a plan B?

Jesus Christ.

it's like Deja vu. Get the ball, go wife, kick long, turnover, goal.

5 goals to 3/4 time. On a small ground in perfect conditions. This is now a coaching issue. Swing the moves.

Lost count of the number of times our mids kick straight to the opposition in our forward 50. Drop those who can't execute a kick under any pressure. Move Carlisle to CHF or something. Earn your money.

Pathetic effort in the third.

Poor skills and simply just lots of dumb football. Even Sinclair cannot use the ball well tonight.
