If you take out the north game we’ve averaged 67 points a game since round 2.
****ing kidding yaselves if you reckon this isn’t Rossball.
The players and skills are shit but that score for is only better than North.

Except Wilkie has been pretty ****ing trash this year tooThe Captain's performance needs to be put under the blow torch.
That play where he sooked it up and didn't even give chase.
Looked disinterested.
Showed about as much emotion as Max King after kicking a goal.
Has to be stripped of the Captaincy for next season.
We need some leadership
Wilkie is our man.
The absolute worst time to be at the bottom of the ladder, GCS have 9 accademy players to pick next season...and that's just the GC, GWS, Sydney, and Brisbane got the same perk.As I said at the time. Taking Hill Howard and others instead of drafting our own was absolutely the time we should have been doing what we need to do still. Who rebuilds upside down by trying to draft after you build a side full of average middling talent?
Turgid, dreadful football from us.
Most of you seem to think building a successful AFL football team is basically about building a list.
It’s just not.
It’s about having a gameplan and style that is up-to-date and, most importantly, develops players.
Ross Lyon’s gameplan is so far behind the league it isn’t funny.
Even worse is that, his horrible defensive style only works with squads that are contending.
His style with a developing squad is an absolute disaster.
If you’re for some reason sticking up for what our club has become under Bassat’s horrendous decision making (Ross Lyon FC), you are part of the problem.
The very existence of our club demands that long term members and supporters hold our board accountable.
These board members are so far removed from understanding the trends of the modern game it is laughable.
But just watch them go into damage control now and blame the “list”.
It’s so predictable, and most of you will fall for it (in fact, lots already are, see lots of list blaming lately).
Yeh I don’t agree. We’ve seen a bunch of good runners and ball users go backwards and look all at see under this system. Nas, Sincs, Wood all have no confidence to go and take the game on. The handful of times it happens (usually by accident eg. king out the back in the first) we actually look okay.I don't think he wants this to be Ross ball. It's a lack of mids and a lack of. connection kicking inside 50. We should pay more than we let Gresham go for for a player who can lock the ball inside 50 and break lines too.
Mids and more mids. Don't think Paddy Dow is the answer and if he is we're asking the wrong question.

Hard to tell when your team is non-existentYou're never as good as you look and never as bad as you look.... is that a thing?

Disagree. He’s never been an elite kick, he’s a smart decision maker with ball in hand that’s still the case but he’s getting done one out a bit this year. It’s not all his fault but he’s another who has gone backwardsI reckon he's still alright but under much more pressure this year. Doesn't get beaten too often and still kicks elite.
All of our problems are related to how poor our midfield is. Whether it's the game plan or just the lack of skill, bombing it into the forward 50 is far too easy to defend.Midfield is shit, kicks inside 50 are shit. Ability to hold the ball in our 50 is shit. Pretty much a lot of our game is lost out of the middle and we try to hold sides back instead of trying to win.
I'd trade Steele, we've broken him - might as well sell him to someone who can use him now. It was a huge mistake making him captain, but the other members of the leadership group are no better. Clean sweep needed.

A lot of it has to do with our midfield is completely and utterly broken.Disagree. He’s never been an elite kick, he’s a smart decision maker with ball in hand that’s still the case but he’s getting done one out a bit this year. It’s not all his fault but he’s another who has gone backwards
Journalists don’t even talk about it because they’re all earning a good living admiring the swans and gws players. Gold Coast will be there soon too .The president needs to explain how the club intends to overcome the impossible challenge of bringing in talent when even with a high pick in a draft, GCS, GWS, Sydney and Brisbane have the first 25 picks on a yearly basis.
Just could tell absolutely no one was going to stand up early in the game when Melbourne were getting going.Except Wilkie has been pretty ****ing trash this year too
