What do you mean stability?Orgasational stability.
Firing the coach because the players did poorly hasn’t worked very well.
Agree we are still top four and he has been really good.Brad Scott should be judged in body of work and not just one game.
That said, this is the second time we have seemed to go in a bit tall to a game where it is expected to be wet. It’s a bit of a head-scratcher.
Well put. Rough game with lots of players down on form. Umps didn’t help but generally things are improving at the club. The sooner everyone remembers their prediction for this year, the better. We are currently a fairly consistent 10th to 6th team. Not really near beating the best and will split games with those around us.Some ridiculous knee jerk commments here. The club is more stable now than has been for 15 years. When was the last time Sheedy spoke out? Even Caro has nothing now.
And with those who want Scott to blast the umps well he can't. Coaches are not allowed to these days. All the club can do is put in a please explain.
This one is on the players. Merrett, Martin had some diabolical turn overs. Our backline was soundly beaten with McGrath the exception. Ridley, McKay, Lav, Heppell, Redman had very poor games. Forward line too, Langford, Guelfi, Gresham, Hind hardly fired a shot. Hind tried but fumbled way too much.
We need to find a way to exert some scoreboaard pressure when we have the game on our terms. Most games the opp will come at you and you need a buffer.
Mentally we shat the bed when umps screwed us. 10 goals to 2 in the second half is not good enough.
We will need to make some hard calls on some players. Speed in the forward half is an issue.
Agree. Too many supporters go into meltdown but it is their own unrealistic expectation causing it. Strat the year saying we will win 8 games. Get excited and start plotting the path to finals when we win a few and then meltdown when last night happens. No thought around the fact we still need some decent rebuilding in parts of the list and it may well take 3 to 5 more years to do it.Well put. Rough game with lots of players down on form.

Archie Perkins likes this.The forecast for Ibiza would be looking pretty tempting
So this is what this is about? Truck sucked man. I was a Truck guy too but he sucked.
Well no it’s just foot stamping.Yep, this is me white anting for him to return to the role he doesn’t want with a playing group that never wanted him in the first place.
I’m in my Kevin Sheedy era.
Agree. But going so tall in those conditions was a **** up. Not a sackable offence though.I think we are so far behind the eight ball from coaches like Woosha and Truck on top of a completely dysfunctional football administration, and we're only just now just playing catch up.
The "attention to detail" is the cream and we're still baking the cake. I don't think any other coach in the world would correct a generation of **** ups within 18 months.
If Shiel is out and Perkins is in v. Collingwood, this theory is moot.Good coach but is loyal to a fault and doesn't understand the intangible benefits of youth.
Also backs senior players at selection but is opposed to meaningful challenging afl house when it comes to suspensions.
Got outcoached at selection and on gameday badly Last night. Not sure I remember any changes we tried to make in-game.
Really need to fix the fwd line with langford and 2mp out of form.
I think he acknowledged everyone's frustration with the umpiring, by stealth.Some ridiculous knee jerk commments here. The club is more stable now than has been for 15 years. When was the last time Sheedy spoke out? Even Caro has nothing now.

But for Truck of all people?
What can he realistically accomplish in the next 2 or 3 years that he hasn’t already accomplished?
