Arrow, the fade outs are there to be seen and discussed. Have been for a while. Are you going to argue otherwise.
Are you going to argue that the same goal run ons that contributed to teague being sacked, and lack of momentum control are ok under Voss. Its not about sacking the coach, its about being realistic at this point of the season. 4-1 flatters the actual performances. Plenty on here agree with me.
I'm suggesting we should look at the way we play, not get caught up in the W. I want to see us become a 4 qtr team, not an inconsistent flash in the pan.
Instead of attacking the poster, which you have track history of doing... enlighten me as to what Dow is not doing right in 2s to warrant his chance, to replace Cripps on the wkend.
Match committee saw fit to select him as sub, which is the ultimate non decision.
Surely he would have been better for his development to play VFL, if not AFL. Sitting on a bench is not going to make him better.
Of the teams, doing what needs to be done, demons, lions, swans, are stand outs.
Freo and stk starting to put full games together. Both see the kill and execute. Both you would have thought around the same mark as us

JP, you have a history of focusing on what is going wrong, rather than having any semblance of balance. Almost all sides are a work in progress, especially where we are from a rebuild perspective. Every week, a handful of sides suffer momentum swings, we are no different. Would it feel different if sides traded goal for goal, with the same result?
Last year, the Demons had maybe 6-7 games where they had, what could be considered 4 qtr dominance, we came into this season as a contender to merely make finals, 11-13 wins and that hasn't changed.
If you don't know why Dow isn't in the side, I can only assume you haven't watched that many games, in the past and his VFL outings this year. The likes of Newnes and Cotts won selection due to having more defensive acts and intent, compared to Dow.
Demons are the standout team.
Lions, while being 2 years ahead of our rebuild, barely beat Port at home, then have played 2 other bottom 4 sides, beat the Pies by a goal and lost to Geelong. There formline isn't great either
Swans beat an average GWS, good win against the Cats despite having less scoring shots, lost to the Dogs, a side we beat, fell in against North, beat struggling WC
Dockers fell in against the Crows (after giving up a 40+ point swing, sound familiar?), lost to the Saints at home, then won games against 3 other bottom 6 sides
Saints, also 2 years ahead of our rebuild, lost to the Pies, but have had some convincing wins since
Apart from the Demons and possibly the Saints, which of those other teams have shown the consistency you believe is that much better than us?
No issue with discussing areas of improvement, we have a number of them, just like most of the sides in the competition, but without the balance of what is working, you just come across as a whinger
