Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but why are we persisting with SMALL fwd's. Are we trying to relive the days of our mosquito fleet back in the 80's, why do they have to ne SMALL. Why not try some bigger bodies, ones that won't get pushed aside so easily, maybe try Binns, Honey even Fogarty a shot. Our small fwd's are killing us at the moment.
I think the age of the true small fwd is pretty much over.
Just my opinion of course. ( but it's always right)

Great insight, motlop might make it but owies and durdin are too small. Look at the build of pickett, cameron, smith. Our guys can't tackle and keep the ball in the fwd line.
You missed our first back to back goal performance in some time … so I heard

2 things this team need to do. Stop inviting the pressure and give the handball to a receiver who’s calling for the ball whilst facing the goals.

What makes you think that? Was quite happy with who we brought in last year.

It’s method not system. There’s outnumbers up the field but we go long instead of looking centrally for handball chains or cross field kicks. Very gun shy at the moment.
Stuck in a perpetual cycle of shitness.
Not sure a club can have this many cracks at it and manage to **** it up every time. Exception to the rule I guess.

I’ve never been a fan of Durdin, Motlop, Owies all playing in our forward line. Fisher in for Durdin doesn’t improve things. They’re not strong in pressuring or tackling and the ball comes out too easily for mine.
They don’t seem to feed of our key forwards at the drop of the ball, and I’m not sure what their role is. They just seem to be undersized forwards without a great deal of threat.

The way he is heading with his disposal and impact old cornes could be proven right over the next 7-10 years
It does when you have the wrong guy.
Just everyone has a different tipping point.
But for instance if we failed to win another game all season (and it’s entirely possible we win only 1 more game, v west Coast), what then? Just roll with Voss next season?

This is a coaching problem, yeah we kick shit, but it is a confidence in systems issue, an understanding of that basic system will get you better skill execution.
Our backline and their(melbs) poor kicking at goals in the 3rd papered over, what is a dismal Executive level systems, gameplay, strategy, organisation, leadership and decision making, our box is in no man’s land, a pure reflection of team output.
Our setups, with the high kick out are a joke.
Every team in the last run of losses are just better drilled with a game plan that suits their team more than ours.
They have all one thing in common, outnumber at the contest and spread then run like a rugby team, with lines of players ready to move forward, always with one at the back and front of any contest, always an outlet boundary side and it kills us every time.
We however, are chaotically spread thin and out of position at almost every contest.
Our mids did enough to win this one strangely enough, everything else forward of centre simply falls apart.
When we did get our shit together, our better users were further up, Gov looked good taking kicks from the midfield.
Game plan needs a reboot, the wayward under pressure handballs to teammates under the pump or to literally no one is embarrassing at best.
It feels like the light is perpetually ready to be switched on,
Our tactician should be sacked

That kick over our players straight to a line of dees defenders from inside our fwd 50 was a disgrace .. he is not alone in this department but it looked like we were setting up to go short out then sling past the spare but we kept bombing to there spare even under no pressure ..
Half this side can't follow the instruction or aren't capable of it .. players are on there own and we kick it to turf or over there heads sometimes just out on the full for fun..
blame coaching all you like but our bottom 6-8 can go to any club and be well below average . And guaranteed none of the fwds playing tonight outside the two keys would succeed and lucky to get a game in any side .
Last three weeks we have generated enough chances..
On a side note don't think we missed hewitt and curnow just there replacements didn't provide the foot skill and game awareness we lacking
Noticed this year when we win a centre clearance, we create pressure ourselves and handball it 4-5 times before rushing it anywhere forward … or even lose it in the middle from the over use…quite frustrating !
You missed celebrating 6 goals. Thats 6. That 3 goals per half of footy.
Our "scary" forward line will one day crack 60 points in a game. One day
Problem is, if you're a really high quality assistant coach, do you want to work under Michael Voss? What's the sales pitch: "Vossy's a good leader, but you're the guy who's going to get the team winning on the field." If someone pitched me that, I'd be asking them for the senior gig. Or at least senior-gig money, which the soft cap makes very hard to do.
There is no evidence Voss is a good coach, but a lot of evidence that he isn’t a good coach.
I understand the desire for stability etc, but all the examples given in the past where it’s paid off like Thompson, Hardwick, Buckley and Goodwin, they had all coached their respective sides to finals appearances and finals wins.
Giving Voss more time is beginning to look like if Melbourne wanted to give Mark Neeld more time. Sometimes things just don’t work.
In saying that, I’m giving him 2 weeks to get at least 1 win. That surely isn’t a high bar.
