Hard to see how we can possibly play finals, going to be 4-1-6 at the midway point with a mountain of work to do. They cracked under the pressure tonight and the doggies, pies and demons will all bring that and with our ball use the way it is atm were not getting near any of them.

Don't even have any injuries to excuse the performance, get every player to play 5 vs 35 until they link up a chain through pressure and build confidence in what they are doing because right now they take risks and make errors that cost goals and then they go into their shells and start second guessing themselves and make more errors anyway that lead to goals.
 
Some crappy skill errors and turnovers in the third quarter cost the game it didn't help that a few of the on field leaders had their worst game of the season all at the same time - Weitering, Cripps, Harry, Walsh not good enough fellas.

Nothing to do with coaching and Young deserved to be pulled 100% deserved it - if Durdin was fit to play Young would be in VFL next week.

Cerra can hold his head high

Kennedy should be back in the 22

Weitering had a shocker tonight, looks bereft of confidence

Ditto Harry

Can’t remember Walsh playing a worse game

Jsos better this week

What burns me is they never look like they think they can win. Once we’re more than 2 goals behind we look like we’re waiting for the siren.

Really starting to doubt Voss. Continued refusal to acknowledge there is an issue with the game plan is going to end our season before it has a chance to get going
 
Vossy got absolutely destroyed in the coaches box. I’m really not convinced he’s tactically good enough.

Outside of that, we’re just not a very good football side.

Our disposal by foot is horrifically bad. The amount of kicks that miss players is astounding.

We don’t stick tackles.

There’s a couple of players that just shouldn’t be playing. I love Ed but he shouldn’t be near this team. George offers absolutely nothing.

I’m just so disappointed with it all. It’s so depressingly predictable.
 
I'm talking Walsh and Weitering. They're supposed to be the very few of our best ball users.

What on Earth happened with them tonight? Absolutely stunk it up with the disposal.
Been happening all year. Our generally decent ball users have been bad. And it's pretty obvious why, everyone second guesses what they are supposed to be doing.

You want Corey Durdin at CHB????
 
Smells fishy with how we flicked the switch in the 4th quarter. Partly due to Brisbane’s effort dropping off but I’m starting to think we’re picking and choosing when to put in effort. I’ll get shot down for saying this but it wreaks of the Carlton of old trying to get a coach sacked. I’d love to be wrong but it’s starting to build that stench. As much as I’m not a huge fan of Voss, if that’s the case some of these players need to be shown the door.

Kicking down the line on numerous times to Durdin one out... our smallest player. With literally no one else at the drop of the ball. The mind boggles. That’s back to the Bolton era. Love Charlie but he’s too often setting up behind the defender trying to get the Joe the Goose type goal rather than leading at the ball carrier.

Kennedy sub.. madness. He should have started and the sub should have been someone with run.

Loved Cerra’s performance tonight. Hold your head high. Cincotta looks at the level. Not many other shining lights tonight unfortunately.

I’m too frustrated with the coaching and the players at the moment to add anything meaningful so I’ll leave it at that.
 
Lots of positives to take out of tonight’s game - only lost to a top four side by four goals - so that’s really only a goal a quarter we have to find - we found new avenues to goals as our talls were held, with Motlop and Durdin contributing 2 goals each.

Just a little more consistency should see us winning these close contests - we’re still a work in progress.
