100% agree. Would love us to appoint someone like Adam Simpson to be the match day coach. Voss can remain as the figure head and set standards, man manage, motivate, manage press responsibilities etc but leave the tactical stuff to someone better suited.

I get the sentiment, we've sacked a few coaches and hired poorly time and time again. But honest question, do you think Voss has it in him? I don't see it to be honest. We've made finals on the back of individuals not due to coaching & game plan.

At a loss to understand what has happened to this team since team since qtr time vs GWS. We look like a completely different team.

Lost this game at selection then embarrassed ourselves on the field. So disappointing, top 4 and/or home final now very much at risk.

I'd love for you to be right revenant but they should have won by a 3 or 4 goals tonight. A lot of what we do wrong has been common in our game for multiple years now.

Shocking performance, lucky not to lose by more. A lot of work to be done if we expect finals. Surely the last of Young and Fantasia in our 22.

Umpiring has been disgraceful, borderline cheating, but we're right in this. Big qtr effort and we'll win this.

Our current injury list limits the options quite a bit. I'd look at bringing in Marchy/Cowan/Cincotta to play back with one of Kemp, Williams or Boyd to the wing in place of Oli. Like I said, I like the kids, but he is liability at the moment.

Oli Hollands will be a good player in time, but right now needs to spend time in the 2s until he gets some size. At the moment he is a liability any time he is 1:1 with an opponent or when a tackle needs to be made.

Harsh free kick no doubt. I see a lot of people talking about the arms out as the driver for the free kick and using other examples in games where no free was paid. I think was more what Coniglio said to the umpire. Unless the AFL clarify the free kick unfortunately we will probably never know.

lol can only play the teams that we are fixtured to play

If SOS was so bad how did he get good 1st rounders for McKay & Curnow? They were all drafted in 2015.

You’ve been on bigfooty long enough to know there are supporters on both side of the spectrum, you don’t need me to show you this. My post was in reference to a comment about “watching all the posters that only post after a loss”

We absolutely choked this one and the same issues in player selection and coaching remain. We were 27 points up mid way through the 3rd. Some may have rose coloured glasses on and think all is well, others see the same systematic issues that stop us from progressing.

Same liability players still getting games and choking when the heat is on. The statue in the coaches box unable to make a move despite the clearance dominance. Until these issues are addressed we will continue to be mid to lower table team.

Come on mate, both teams in your example played finals the year prior. We are miles off it. I like your optimism but it’s basically another year zero for us. There’s always next year I guess.

I fear that this is the draft that may haunt us. Nick Coffield & Hunter Clark were two that I really liked before the draft and both look great at the saints. At this stage Dow is a 50/50 proposition and O'Brien is looking more and more like a bust. Still time but gee one of those saints...

Terrible...made an average pies team look like millionaires

What a joke, doesn’t come from the field, no concussion but medium impact? Worth an appeal on principle.

Right patella, will have surgery tomorrow. Confirmed on CFC website.

Or Saad goes through the national draft and we take him at 18 or 19. No club will use a top 20 pick on a guy that doesn’t want to play for them, they won’t take the risk and invest in the best kid available. Alternatively, we hold 8 until draft night and trade down like we did last year.

You must have Essendon penned in for the spoon. As much as I would love that I can’t see it happening in 2021. Even if it did, by the time you allow for academy, NGA & father sons that pick 19 is more like 22-25.

Haha you’re a generous man Rusman! I think you will get our first, it’s what comes back that will make or break the deal for us Blues fans. Ideally the bombers future 2nd comes back, the deal gets done and both sets of fans are content with the outcome.

Don’t worry about mentioning Hill at the time was still contracted for 2 more years. Saad is out of contract and has walked out of your club.

That’s great, if it does come to that and he enters the National Draft I assume Essendon are happy to spend pick 6 or 7 on Saad? It won’t come to that as a deal will get done, but would really call the bombers bluff on his true worth to them.

Happy with that, I think you will find the Blues have 22 flags when you count VFA/VFLAFL 😉 Essendon 20 Pies/Cats 16

Fair enough, I guess the bombers will know where they stand before the trade period starts.

How confident are you in Merrett staying beyond 2021? He is a RFA next year and Saad is OOC. I get why you’d want more for those two but look what happened last year with Daniher. Daniher going for 5 & 9 last year or 9 plus a future first (which ended up being 3 this year) would have been a...

“Carlton had significant salary-cap space for 2021, due to an under-spend over the past seasons, which the Blues had to take advantage of or they would lose that additional money to spend on players. Teams that don't spend all of their salary cap in a season can "bank'' the money and spend in...

Old timers 😀. 94-95 for me
