Just mathematics mate. In order to get us on top I needed them to win games.lol carlscum top 4! Oh wait...
And by the way your laughing out loud about Carlton finishing 4th. I have us as minor premiers. If anything deserved an lol it was that
There were some games where I thought he might've taken external criticism on board and changed his stubborn ways but alas not so
Ah yes we can; it's called player development - that's the responsibility of the coaching panel including bucks
I remember a bloke back in 99 that came to the club and turned spuds into very very good players - even A graders. So good in fact that list played in 2 consecutive GF's 2 yrs down the track. So it can be done!

Youse prolly don't wanna hear this right now, but it's never as bad as it seems.
Nathan has to go, but once you get through that it could turn quicker than you think.

We are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
Operation Roos or Clarkson for 2018.
But fcuk me dead. The amount of goals we concede from turnovers is laughable, you wouldn't see these skill errors at local level.

Going against my instincts and agreeing with you here.
It's not THAT bad.
Our squad has plenty going for it (albeit with some glaring holes and significant issues) and we are a strong, wealthy and very well supported club. There are some fundamental changes that need to happen but ultimately we will turn it around.
The frustration for me is how long the club seems prepared to allow things to meander steadily downward before acting decisively.

Yep, that was about the time my eyes glazed over too. This feels like purgatory. Just waiting for it to end.

Whatever.
You think it's the coaches fault some spud sprays a shot from 10m out?
Stop drinking the Haterade.
Bucks has to go, but get real.
Essendon have been through hell, lost draft picks and are miles ahead of us. This garbage needs to stop.
Lol. Twitter is great for sport. Just follow the hashtag for the game. The game day thread this year is just ppl melting.

Give blair his 150th
Agree PB, Maynard, Ramsay, Scharenberg, Langdon and Howe are all good offensively but quite poor one on one defending the high ball and where they position themselves while defending an opponent.
We have these players that are really suited to a running role from outside defensive 50 up and down the wings and to be honest they are quite good at it, that is their go and how we would get the best out of them, instead, we have them accountable and negating and defence first, and we then wonder why they struggle for touches and end up with small forward opponents kicking a bag on them.
We really seem to lack guys that are there to lock down on a small opponent but still find the footy, Goldsack can do it, Toovey was brilliant at it, Marley Williams has proven now to be a massive loss, Fantasia would not have kicked 5 on him yesterday guaranteed.
All the players mentioned at the start of my post can play, however they are being played out of position and in roles that do not suit there strength.
We all talk about getting a tall as being a priority but if a small lock down defender became available (A really good one) then I would take him first thanks, there is a reason why oppositions smalls cut us up week after week and if the powerrs taht be can't work it out then the issues are worse than I thought.
This Buckley mantra of each player playing multiple roles is a crock of shit! find a players best position and play them there if they can do 2 roles just as well then fine but don't force it, a balanced, consistent and FAMILIAR team line up position wise breeds a real understanding amongst a group.
Bucks will still be telling us in 3 years if he stays on that "We are still trying to find our right mix"

At least we haven't been really belted, like I mean around 10 goals+, but I now fear those results are just around the corner
And that will be a good thing, you want your problems really really exposed so that there are no more excuses and real change starts to happen.
My son and I attended the game and then backed it up meeting my St.Kilda loving wife and friends at Etihad to watch that game. The skill difference between the 2 games was astounding also highlighting that Essendon as well as us are a mile off.
Goldsack and Langdon were ok and seeing pendles waltz through the congestion was a good moment. Apart from that it really was an insipid display, like watching a bunch of chooks running around.

Positives from yesterday's game were Fasolo and Elliot up forward. We just need to add more players to build that forward setup.
I liked Reid up forward.
The 2017 season is done for us. Time to get some games into some younger players, rest any players who are injured.
I agree with others who have said that Maynard should be moved out of defence. Move him to a wing or across half forward as his turnovers in the backline are too costly.

They actually all hunt the ball like under 10s and run side by side trying to get the handball, it is laughable and If we didn't have the talent we do on our list we would cop 100 point beltings every week.
I was very happy to read this morning that Goddard is still fuming about Greenwood's hit on Merrett. Good to see something positive came out of the match.
Can someone please tell me why Goddard is constantly on all forms of media. He is boring and has no personality. Its going to be painful when he walks into a high profile media position when he retures.

100% agree
Fair enough, but I just don't see anything special with WHE. He is just a competent league player at best!

Well, at least he has that going for him. Unlike Aish, who probably cost us more
