How do we right this ship? So many attempts without a modicum of success.

The rhetoric from top to bottom sucks and is defeatist. It reflects on the football field.

Softening expectations, all about 'learnings', not demanding excellence and being ruthless.

This is the natural outcome.

Shit, if I turned up to work thinking, okay, we'll make a few mistakes today, but it's okay, good learnings... you've already accepted defeat and mediocrity.

Nobody is perfect but you have to ****ing aim for perfection.
 
The sad thing is that we fired out absolute best shot there. The defence was great. We won contested footy. Pitto dominated the ruck. We had 29 inside 50s to 18.

By all rights we should be 3-4 goals ahead with a pep in our step.

But our attacking system is completely broken. The players know it, and their confience is shot. And now the have been booed off the field and have the whole break to dwell on it.

Meanwhile the Bulldogs get to reset, freshen up, and come out strong.

This is a recipe for an absolute belting.

The hope has to be that we come out fuming, have seen the worst, ans it suddenly clicks. But i just don't see where the spark comes. Cripps was gifted his moment and let us down badly. Walsh had his moment and let us down badly. I guess we just hang on for a free kick.to Charlie or a 50m penalty to bail.us out?

We know these guys donโ€™t have the mental fortitude to flick the switch.

I want to eat my words but I donโ€™t think I will be.

Where's the coached goal kicking routines. At some stage the coaches have to do something about bad set shots. None of them have reliable routines - coaches.

H and Crippsโ€™ misses are coaching issues. Why are they allowed to take that approach?
Put in a team rule about kicking drop ******* punts from in front of goal. Drill it into them
Agenda driven RUBBISH. Its VGoss's fault these blokes cant kcik a goal really?

what BS is next. TYhe facts are too many of these players are pussies.
 
Is the list good though?

I'm doubting it all.

Treacle slow mids. Poor skills..poor running capacity. Only 2 out of 7 forwards AFL quality.
2 Coleman medalists and a Brownlow winner ?????

Not to mention numerous No.1 picks that do not fall in any category with Walsh and Weiters etc. Saad / Doc / Cerra / Newman / Kennedy.

I dont know where are currently and i have serious doubts our board does as well which multiples all our problems. We are just ****ed.
 
This is the worst game Iโ€™ve seen in 5 years.

Somehow that game where Melbourne beat us by approximately 5346 points was more enjoyable.

I think Cripps went close to Bog that day and had 40-odd touches and at least there was hope for the future. Now Cripps is 29 and can't score from a set shot 20m out, and hope os dwindling rapidly by the minute.
 
We have in this side:

1. Reigning Brownlow medalist
2. Reigning Coleman Medalist
3. 2021 Coleman Medalist
4. Sam Walsh - an elite mid
5. AA quality in Saad and Doch

Either our bottom 10 are VFL reserve standard or our game plan is terrible.

I hope we smash them in the second half. If we keep this up we will lose and the Pies will beat us by 60 next week. Then the heat really comes on and a rebuild will be on the cards

This is the most important half of footy our boys have played since rd23 last year
