Allen darling waterman was one tall too many for us.

We all could see this a week ago … except our coaches

 

[Horizons_00]

Does the court case popping up again and being talked about in the presser had an effect on the players?

They’re probably like here we go again, Clarko is going to be 50/50 in the club and his personal issues

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Anyone grading his 2 seasons more than a 4/10 are either being delusional or far too accepting. He will have 3 players in the AA squad. Once again we had 80 more disposals. Better disposal efficiency. We won clearances. We won contested and uncontested possession. Tackles, turnovers and one percenters were dead even. This is a weekly occurrence. We have an atrocious game plan. This is the players not knowing what to do with ball in hand.

Sort of controdict yourself with all the facets you list that worked. Now we address the key wfd and the small with goal sence and get some better quality depth to cover blokes like griff.

Will not see out the five years.

Clarkson is on $1m a year, and some of our guys still need football fundamentals taught to them.
Clarkson needs to play the video of the last 10 minutes of today’s match. He needs to break it down, so the players can see every single moment where we lost todays game.
Our half forwards starting behind and getting blown out of the water from the centre clearances.
Not punching the ball through for a behind when it’s on West Coasts goal line.
Not having players front and centre of marking packs.
Not applying pressure and keeping the ball in our forward half.

 

[DuckYeah]

You campaigners crawl from the Hawks board from over decade ago? Or are yas crawling out from the richmond board from 8 years ago?

LOL

The players butchered it. They need to learn from it.

do any of you actaully feel better after venting?

Not really. The facts are the effort is there. The things that work are because we have an amazing amount of talent. The game plan isn’t working.

Scoring is based on individual moments of brilliance. Absolutely zero system.

Just sick of the same tripe every year … no matter who is in charge

The players butcher it every week. Isn’t it on the coaches to sort them out.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Yep agree… he has far too much baggage associated with all the Hawks saga that will never ever go away …

 

[Roosurgence]

I’m not sure why people think the sky is falling.

Clarkson is playing the long game, not looking for sugar hits.

I’m not sure you can blame the coach today for just dumb mistakes by players who should know better.

This game wasn’t lost because West Coast outplayed us. We just simply ****ed up what should have been a 5 goal plus win.

That’s not the coach, that’s dumb players.

 

[Roosurgence]

No the coaches will manage them out of the side when they have more depth at their disposal.

At the moment they don’t, so we have to go through the roller coaster of dumb mistakes by players that should be no more than depth.

It's not everyone.

its only a few.

and they have likely been waiting for the opportunity to be able to post a bunch of shit about him, opportunity they haven't had because we have either won or played substancially better.

Also one of the go to arguments is about the money he is paid, like we haven';t also paid him to entirely reshape the football department.

The most disappointing thing about today was conceeding 3 goals in 90 seconds and that has to sit on the players.

Today we should have won by 5 goals plus, that wasn’t on the coach, that was on players making dumb mistakes.

You can’t coach for dumb mistakes.

This side won’t progress until we get more depth and we can weed out the usual momentum sapping potatoes.

The coach can only work with the cattle he has, he just needs more depth around a really talented core.

The glaring thing is the underscoring of the forward line.

one dimensional and lacking connection with the midfield.
