Woeful take. 6 more likes than it deserves. We got here because of him, won numerous games because of him.

22 players choked away a lead with poor skills and work rate, and not one of them was Hawkins. It’s all on them.
It’s a team, it is equally on him. He did let the team down. Not the sole reason we lost but added to it and it’s not like it is his first time

Heartbreaking loss
A lot of players went missing in the second half
Danger, Guthrie, particularly
We really ran out of puff
Sadly, Ablett and Taylor are on their way out.
With Kelly going too, we need some new thoughts on 2020
I still believe that umpires should not be able to wear a teams colours. Doesn't look right
Next year we need to pull it together and trust a younger team
I don't know why they didn't put Rhys forward in the second half. He looked gased
Sad thing is I reckon had we won tonight we would have taken the flag
2020 team

Kolo Blicavs O'Connor
Henry Henderson Stewart
Tuohy Duncan Guthrie
Dahlhaus Hawkins Atkins
Parfitt Ratagolea Miers
???????? Dangerfield Selwood
Constable, Steven, Clark, Menegola

Leave our boy Blicavs at fullback
Please get a ruckman. Ryder, Jacobs, anyone, I don't care
Even give Abbott a go.
 
BS. Blicavs on the wing while Lynch kicks 5. Bet Scott will say he didn't have an influence. Delist all our ruck stocks while we are at it. I don't want to see Stanley wear our jumper again. Thankfully Kelly had a good game to maintain his trade stocks. Henderson gone as well - great coaching Scott. Had a huge impact.
Watch the goals he kicked, then watch the ball in that led to the mark, and tell me Blicavs would have made a difference.

He got it fed to him on a platter with a disorganised defence after a turnover. Whoever was on him was by and large dead to rights. No pressure up the field on the kicker

No, to a certain degree, it is his fault.
We had no one who could take a mark in the forward 50.
Nah. The first half proved we could match them without Hawkins. The second half, we did it to ourselves. Hawkins was never going to stop those easy goals Richmond got. Our backline caved. But I don't blame the players. Except wtf was Blicavs doing in the second half!? He's a wingman now?
 
Ablett gone, Henderson gone, Taylor gone, Stanley gone, Chris Scott gone. Blicavs never plays any further forward than the back 50. Our defenders train under some pressure to try and educate them what it means to not s**t themselves in the big games. Atkins not sure if he has what it takes.
Stanley was a gun tonight.
 
Of all the players to bring into the team to replace a full forward, our match committee bring in a full back. Surely any of the forward 50 players we have in the VFL would have been a better option?

Bad coaching. No plan b after the tigers got a run on.

Well be thereabouts next year as well but we don't have the coaching team or gameplay to win a premiership.

Fair to say I'm deflated. The tigers played a better half of football than us.
 
The decision to play our best KPD all year on a wing all game, while Lynch ran wild is up there with one of the more arrogant pig headed coaching decisions I've ever seen

Jacobs is off to GWS fyi
 
He’s a tease, has been all year, has been since he played a blinder v the Saints early last season.

Doesn’t do enough as a small forward, seemingly not rated enough to be a full time mid, and as we saw tonight has zero composure under pressure.

If we keep him, and we probably will then 2020 is the make or break year
Think we have far greater issues than Parfitt. But, think he has a couple of years, the kid is 21
 
Nah, we were close. Don’t let it get to you.

Nah I was a Chris Scott defender. But it comes to a point where we need to make a change. Haven’t won 2 straight in the finals since 2011 and we’ve been simply embarrassing in the finals since.
