We need to have a look at what hawks are doing. Making teams look 2nd rate atm with their ball movement
main difference is they have an actual game plan

Exactly, there is no confusion about the game style and they all know what to do.

They have a lot of quick guys who are good at the fundamentals, like us in 2017
My reality for this year set in at 1/2 time r0 on GC , and things only got worse

Chol as an example. Wow hasn’t he improved. What a shame what a shame

Nah he is still the same old Chol, lazy & no defensive pressure.

Mitchell's also in his 3rd year as coach. It's not gonna happen overnight.
He's the best forward 50 tackler in the comp among key forwards.

Would be easily our best forward. Still has a nice simple and accurate kick.
We are shite in lots of areas but our finishing is diabolical. I reckon half our team gives up after busting their ass and then watching some of those misses

The club is at a low ebb at the moment. They must feel that they have to extend contracts of highly suspect players because they can't attract anyone better or have doubts about being able to develop new talent. St Kilda are an ordinary team and we lose by 8 goals. When you have players like Ryan who debuted 3 years ago ironically against St Kilda and had the distinction of scoring negative fantasy points repeat that astounding result today by also scoring -1 at half-time, that takes particular aptitude to achieve, 3 years on and this player struggles to take a mark in perfect conditions when he is the tallest player on the ground, has not improved and will not make it. I'm not a wrap for Miller, plays loose and lacks urgency, often executes poorly even without pressure, has been in the system now for 6 years, up and down and looked way outside of his depth against a reasonable player . McIntosh is hands down the least intelligent player we have, goofy, runs all day but somehow manages to not find the ball and when he does will perform a quasi-comedy routine, reminds me of an uncoordinated marionette, just terrible. Then there's Sonsie, weak, disposal skills are seriously overrated, been waiting for him to have a breakout season, given up. I could go on but I won't. Only positive I could see is that we can match many sides with our inside 50s, but many of those today were directly due to Rioli who we may lose at season's end, hope he stays.

Oh ffs... calm down. It's round 22 or something. We lost by more in 2016 and won a flag the next year. The game turns quickly. It's never as good or bad as it seems. We've used 42 players this season. 1 player has played every game. The crap wrtten on here sometimes is hysterical.
Started with Short today. Had momentum and a set shot from 30 straight in front to bring it back to a kick. He fluffs it and we don't kick another goal and added missed sitters from Prestia, Graham and Bauer (one other but I've forgotten it).

Sick of people blaming Short to be honest. There is no connection and no rhythm up the ground. We have all players turning it over for these reasons. This is a coaching problem... Things that make you go hmmm.

The biggest worry is the Melbourne reverse style panic handballs we are seeing. We have never played like that in recent times. It's laughable play. The last time we did this was Frawley era...
WTF!? Where are the medics!?

It's taken them a few years to get to that point.
People here are expecting Yze to do that in less than a year, when it took Mitchell a few years, with a more talented list.
To be fair it did take Sam Mitchell two years to get his team to implement their game plan.
The problem is when you compare Short against Rioli. Short is taking easy handball receives, then doing dinky little 30 metre passes or kicking the ball long to nobody. Compare his effort to Rioli.

it's going to take seasons to turn this around..
Just like all the other teams that did Dynasty, the come down is going to be rough.
strap in folks, it's going to be a bumpy ride
Changes (based on the 1.5 qtrs I watched after getting off a plane...)
Out: Samson, Kamdyn (to sub), Miller, Dow
In: Blight, Sonsie (as a mid, Hopper to play across half-forward), Ross, Smith (from sub to starting 22)
Possibly add Cumbo just for the lols instead of Kamydn.
