Our club is an embarrassment
Excuse my language but I am so over this s***. As an organisation, we could not be any more incompetent if we tried. I am writing an open letter to our Board and CEO and will be posting a copy on this forum. I realise the heartache our club causes us is a 1st world problem, but after taking my daugh...

Re: It will take 10 years to get our club back on track
A few years ago results like tonight would get me incredibly upset and frustrated. Not any more.. I have now set my expectations so low that this will be our brand of footy for the next 1-2 years. As per my original post, until we put all of the fundamentals in place on and off field at our footy cl...

Re: Is Armo cooked??
Not cooked but struggle to see how he can play on in 2019.
He has lost a yard of pace (never that quick anyway) and his foot skills are OK but not great.

Hate to say it but this team is on the nose big time. * Poor Skill level * Coaching capability - Plan B?? * Game style - how much handballing FFS!! * Lack of speed / run and carry When you add all that our performance should not be unexpected.

You are making our team look like amateurs.
Otherwise sit back, relax and enjoy an Adelaide Crow schelacking.

Midfield Depth
The reality is we are 2-3 quality mids short of becoming a top 4 team. Sydney has a midfield which played in last years GF and demonstrates the calibre of midfield we need. Beyond Steven and Ross our midfield drops away although the signs with Steele and Stevens are promising. I would have loved to ...

Will we ever "fly in formation"?

Winning would only paper over the cracks of how poorly we are playing.
Losing may also help give us a better draft position at season end.

Re: Gilbert - Play him forward or not at all..
I reckon Gilbo could play Half Forward / Wing nicely.
He has great hands and can break the lines.

- Their list build is two years ahead of us - Our turnovers (not under pressure) and poor goal kicking gave them the game - Spending $7m on Boyd will come back to bite them in a few years - he is overrated my personal view - Goddard, Paddy and Bruce will dominate - Once Bob Murphy retires they will ...

Either through poor judgement or, poor vision or just being slow - Gilbert cant play back If he is going to continue turn it over like that I would rather play him forward and bring Goddard in down back. Looks like he is in 2nd gear. Maybe judging him harshly given his lack of recent game time but h...
