A few youngsters are starting to show a bit - Dewar and Hutchinson this week in particular. Even Chesser showed some more positive glimpses. However, the most obvious thing that stood out at the ground was the distinct lack of second efforts from Yeo, Kelly, Cripps, Allen (must be injured) and...

Yep. It is the lazy option so you don't have to chase the one running off.

Positives Harry Edwards Dewar was about the only player who appeared to care enough to chase. Negatives We can't tackle, but we are plenty tough enough to hit late and award downfields. Or if we do manage to stick 1 tackle, we go all ape shit on them while they are lying on the ground...

I've always thought Ginbey looks like a winger. Tall, a pretty good overhead mark, good straight line speed. Kicking can be a little flaky, but if he can use his left foot more, it would help the forwards knowing where it is going. Hunt has to stay HBF. Trew is now our defensive mid. Although...

That used to be Hunt. And then it was JJ. And they were both pretty good at it most of the time. Sadly they have been coached out of that.

Positives OA finding some form Ryan across the middle of the ground used it well a number of times and ran on different tangents to everyone else Although Harley lacked polish, he kept on trying (but time to give the late physical contact a rest and maybe chase a bit more) Hutch's tackling...

Absolutely horrendous performance today. The team does not want to do the hard things. Not playing for each other. Not playing for the coach. Aside from McGovern and Barrass, and possibly Hough, everyone else was embarrassed. Yes, even Harley who looked like a bit of a prick strutting around...

A dark day. Losing to the bottom team at home when we looked like we were starting to make it uncomfortable for visiting teams again. A shit couple of weeks. Glad the bye is up next. Positives Hutch looks like a fun player to watch Yeo and Flynn played well when they got angry (for about 20...

As hard as Yeo tries, his disposal is woeful. Just tries to kick it as far as he can. Even Gaff and Sheed's disposal efficiency was better than his. Reid has been dropping opposition players too often. Time to reign that behaviour in. Another week where we make an ordinary player look like a...

Positives Waterman. Whatever he has done, he is now close to our best player. So, so happy for him. McGovern's kicking was a joy to watch. The Reid effect. We are a 5-6 goal better team with him. Ryan building. I will forgive those last few weeks. Finally a negative midfielder. I have been...

The Good Witherden down back lead the way. Barrass, Gov, Duggan, Hough and even Cole stood up down there as well. Dewar and Johnstone didn't look out of place. Neither panic with the ball and seem to make good decisions. Ball movement in the second half out of defence. Nice to see some kicks...

Positives Waterman. Amazing to see his efforts paying off. Starting to lift the team with him. Kelly's lift when we needed him. J Williams giving us more than just glimpses of his ability. Great game. Ginbey marking it. That is going to be his biggest asset. Will be hard to stop. Barrass and...

The dump kicks aka "the old Sheed/Gaff snap". First person I have read who mentioned it. So infuriating.

Hopefully he found adjusting to the speed of the game as the sub a challenge. There are a few in the wings preparing to take his place if this isn't the case. We haven't been able to say that for a while.

So so many positives. Particular highlights for me were: Maric's sublime ball use. Reid and Yeo attracting opponents and then handing off to someone open. The obvious chemistry between Reid and Yeo. Waterman continuing to decide he is the best forward at the club and playing accordingly...

That sums up so much of our issues. Hardly anyone (Hunt aside) runs hard defensively. Yeo played very well when the ball was in his vicinity, but couldn't be stuffed trying to help out his defenders. This runs deep through the club.

Yep, keep on the half back line where he can see the ground ahead of him.

Not sure how Cole keeps getting selected.

Positives Ginbey and Yeo tried their asses off. Gov, TB and Hough defended well. Flashes of Reid. Hunt is probably our best player. Petch seems to have developed into a forward. Negatives Way too many to list, but at least we are trying to take the game on, even if it means we stuff up a 3...

Ginbey (and Williams) was probably one of our most positive finds from last season. I wonder what it does to someone's confidence when a new bloke rolls in with unprecedented hype and essentially takes your spot in the midfield? Then Yeo gets healthy and you get shuffled even further back. I'm...

Positives We looked different to last year. Tried to play quicker with the ball thanks to Reid, Hunt, Yeo and McGovern. Williams was almost our best player. Reid fits in with our midfield straight away. Yeo didn't get injured. McGovern's ribs look stronger this year. Petch hit the scoreboard...

Positives Hewett looks like he wants to be the future of the club Petch is earning another year Witherden, Duggan and Hunt were okay down back Gov didn't get injured Barrass' trade value increased Chesser is stringing to together a few positive games J Williams played better that O Allen we...

Positives Williams is developing into one of our most consistent players this year. Kelly busted his arse (albeit not so much defensively) all day Ginbey can do everything Maric showed up so many on our list Not Negatives Hough got better as the game went on Allen didn't get injured while in...

Positives Not having Darling in the team meant that Hurn's kicks had to go somewhere else. Not sure who is to blame there, but it so much better to watch. Ginbey didn't have to play on ball. Yeo didn't get injured Sheed got injured in time for Shuey to return (his defensive running is like...

No! Keep OA out of the midfield. He is literally the only thing that this team has going for it at the moment. Keep him out of harm's way.

Positives Things will surely have to change now. We won't lose in Round 14 Negatives The next two weeks are going to be tougher.

Losing by 100+ can still be stomached if someone hurts Sicily.

Duggan not injured. Just doesn't want to be associated with this.

Nah, lets get savage and clean out the crap. Players coming in get six months to train/play for a contract.

Sacking the coach won't make much off a difference. But it will communicate to the players that the club won't stand for this shite being served up. The players may also start thinking that maybe their place isn't guaranteed at years end.
