Totally agree. Stocks not ready yet though.


Have you watched the rest of this team today ?

Laying into kids coming in their first game when captains are not even jogging, hand balling at peoples feet - and team leaders being basically putrid is beyond me.

If Stocker was playing like Eddie, Murphy or even Cripps - I'd agree with you.
 
Every time I think I’ve seen this team play the worst they possibly can, nope, they go up another notch.

I honestly thought Plowman, Cuningham and McGovern (strangely enough) stood up in big moments, and Walsh and Murphy at least coneverted their chances.

Otherwise - just dumfoundingX the players collectively just shat their sacks, none moreso than our two captains.
 
Can’t wait to be done 50, come back and lose by 24 and focus on how we didn’t get a whooping

we have soft players, few on field leaders and leaders with no skills

no point worry about the coaching, the players are not worthy of the jumper

"Thought we were really good in the contest"

"We won the inside 50 count"

Blah blah blah. :$

If I were David Teague, and Foxtel came to me for a comment after that half of footy, I would not be politely answering questions or being amiable in front of the camera.

I get that you need to be available, to present the face to protect the 'brand', but you should be telling them to **** off.

Honestly we are better off putting Levi in the Ruck or rolling a retired Kruzer out.

Pittonet is honestly that uncompetitive it's laughable. Most contests he doesn't impact can hardly get a hand on the ball. When he does manage to get a hitout it's to an opposition player.

Absolutely belted in the ruck > centre
 
Same as last week. Errors made when there’s zero pressure. Kicks to the forward line that don’t hit the target. And then hack kicks under pressure.

But hey it’s all a learning exercise.

Half time thoughts:
-Dominated 1st quarter but couldn’t convert due to low footy IQ and poor skills
-Wheels fell off in the 2nd quarter and predictably we crumbled like we always do
-Casboult, Murphy and Betts are probably the 3 worst VFL players on an AFL list right now
-It’s “only” a 4 goal margin, but feels like 20 goals
-Credit to Brisbane: got absolutely physically battered but teams like that don’t wilt as shows by Lachie Neale. They somehow managed to go in even harder
-Cripps and Docherty are fraudulent captains - true captains in this team are Walsh and Weitering
-Jones is probably the lowest IQ player in the country. Can spoil/intercept, but then puts us in even worse trouble as soon as he disposes of it
-It doesn’t matter if we had Clarkson, Hardwick, Parkin and Matthews in the coaching box at the same time; you can’t build a gameplan around how weak this team is
 
That was a disgraceful qtr.

How badly we used the ball is a joke.

Cannot see any system at all.

Just try to scrap it inside 50.

Look all at sea when we turn it over.

Jist so disappointed in that qtr.

Disappointed but not surprised
 
Games over so how about the blues actually play the young guys on the ball for the second half.

Just play Walsh, Cuningham, SPS, Fogarty, and Stocker on the ball. Play defenders in defense without the ****ing zone bullshit. Giving Hipwood and Joe a paddock is just embarrassing.
 
Teague is “too nice” as a coach and we are pretty soft as a result. Fagan has no problem ripping into his players as he did at quarter time and look at the result.

We have the coaching equivalent of a participation ribbon.

Yep, expected the Fagan spray to come and what do you know.

Hope Teague does the same or this is very bad for him and the club.
 
There’s not so many times a coach can rev up a team to work hard, tackle, show intent... eventually you have to put your hand up and say maybe I’m not the right guy... or delist 40 players
