That was Ross the boss fault yeh? Because of his gameplan
He basically said he doesn't have the cattle.
He should’ve marked it. He is soft as butter and this pathetic club is too pathetic to drop him because they paid so much for him and don’t want to look stupid like north did with polec snd pittardI watched the replay - Bonner’s kick did Hill no favours
Ummm noThe players that Richardson had Lyon would be getting flogged by more every week with his game play - if you call it a game plan
Even last year with Steele and Crouch both playing, it was left to too few.. now with only Steele, it’s just not fair how much of mess our midfield is..Between the lines yeah. Also thought it was interesting right at the end that he said Pou was happy to stay in the 2's but they wanted him in the team to play midfield time. s**t decision, we cannot afford to carry Pou in the middle right now without Crouch. Our midfield is already our weakest point, adding Pou who is still learning to that is just shite. He's shown an aerial presence and forward craft somewhat, but as a mid he is still very, very raw.
Bank a top 6 pick, trade or draft a mid and see if we can't poach a mid FA as well. It's Steele and then a big drop off at the minute.
and Steele is hardly an attacking mid. He's a defensive one. There's no pointy edge to this midfield. There's no real hurt or offence to it.Even last year with Steele and Crouch both playing, it was left to too few.. now with only Steele, it’s just not fair how much of mess our midfield is..
I get it people wants to play an attractive brand of football, but if we can’t win the ball Cleanly consistently.. we’re always against it.. so we play defensive to over compensate for a non existent midfield

Yeah, Steele the only one doing the tackling & Ro the clearances.Clark & Crouch back, may help?Even last year with Steele and Crouch both playing, it was left to too few.. now with only Steele, it’s just not fair how much of mess our midfield is..

The whole footy world knows where our list is at.For the 50th time.
Ross' gameplan doesn't instruct the players to:
- miss 2m handballs
- kick it out on the full going foward when Max is out by 15m on his opponent
- Find the 1/100 way to mess up an obvious counter attack
- drop an uncontested mark off a kick-in in th back pocket.
We have a TALENT and EXECUTION problem
Yeah, Steele the only one doing the tackling & Ro the clearances.

You’re joking right? He will suck the club dry and take everything he can get while leaving a tornado of damage in his wake, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself, he’s done it before - already started by bringing in his mates. The only way he leaves early is if he is sacked for something like what happened at FremantleI actually wouldn't be completely surprised if RTB quit in the next month or two. If he can't get through to the players then he might think the game's not worth the candle.
Why havnt we pushed harder for compo picks..? North played in
final 2012
Prelim 2014
Prelim 2015
Final 2016
Have won 10 premierships a d 2 in my lifetime! Why the Fu-k are they getting compo picks and the saints arnt..??
Yeah pretty much the whole top eight right now, and maybe three more sides have three or four mids that are better than ours. Full stop.The whole footy world knows where our list is at.
Doesn't stop people from double-dipping, criticising the list and the next minute blaming the coach.
The lack of continuity culminating in 6 changes giving opportunities to players who haven't really done their time and produced in the VFL is a reflection of where we're at. The coaches are sticking fingers in to stop the leaks but there are too many leaks and not enough fingers.
I unfortunately watched the 2nd half first tonight and it was like watching the 1s versus the 2s forgetting Freo's inaccuracy. We just don't have players capable of handling pressure, running with the ball and delivering with awareness and composure.
We're not a player short in the middle we're up against teams in this comp with 3 to 4 mids better (in damage at least) than our best mid (Dees, Port, Giants, Blues etc.)
There are really only 2 ways forward from here. We get lucky with a good mid in the next draft and pick up a free agent better than any of our current mids. Or next year is basically a repeat of this year and we play the patient game, trying to draft 3-5 good mids (with a couple of stars in there) in the next 3 years and hope they all improve quickly enough to team well with Max and our current young brigade. We're going to need Keeler and Arie to come through while we focus on mids (and rucks as Heath is looking more unlikely than likely).
Anyway, forgetting draft picks. We need some wins to get some confidence back into our kids. Their progress means everything.
True. Steele is a re-active/defensive mid.. he can rack up big tackle numbers because he doesn’t win the ball first..and Steele is hardly an attacking mid. He's a defensive one. There's no pointy edge to this midfield. There's no real hurt or offence to it.
Good coaching got us there not talent.We played in a final last year.
In what world would we be entitled to comp picks?
Good coaching got us there not talent.
we have been s**t for 14 years and arguably most of the 150 years in the comp.
