Out: Rozee, Butters, JHF

All 3 are pretenders and the sole reason we lost that game. Got absolutely pantsed yet again.
Yeah they were shit but carn... the sole reason? You don't reckon at least 10 other guys were poor/costly or non-existent in an important game? The team didn't collectively kick 6.15? We didn't only put up 3.12 to their 9.13 in the last quarter. I get it, they're the engine room of the team, they're supposed to be the most impactful players towards the contest, they're leaders within the team (especially the first two), but that was a piss poor effort from almost all involved, not just those three.

You absolutely do not win games against the good teams with your 3 “star” midfielders getting absolutely destroyed again. The complete lack of pressure and intent from those 3 yesterday was deplorable. Maybe they will be able to stick one tackle next week against Brisbane, maybe….

14,17 and 18 touches across the three, with zero impact on the scoreboard by any. People can whinge and whine about the 16-23 ranked players on the list, but it all starts with your “stars”, and they just simply aren’t winning the big games right now. Both Butters and Rozee are in horrendous form. Clearly I am being facetious in saying we should drop them, however I certainly am not joking when saying they are the biggest reason we lost.

Kelly, Green, Ward and Bedford (lol) destroyed them.

It's obvious whenever there is some pressure on Daddy they decide to come out with some intent and win. At some point even the players will stop getting up for him when the heat is on. I hope it is this week.
 
jhf played absoloutely shocking yesterday, he is your favouirite player he gets a free pass, a bit like McEntee gets his golden ticket at the selection table. was expecting way more from jhf when butters was being tagged.
 
Out - Ken

The rest, whatever.

I like Lord, and how those 3 function together as talls but our small fwds are diabolical. However, who replaces then? Do we really want to kill Anastasopolous throwing him into that dead role?

Esava and Aliir were gash, but again, there's no one to replace them with.

Soldo had a poor game, I'd entertain Sweet in, but does that really change anything.

Brisbane will structure up very similarly to how gws played us and it will be another 6 goal performance
 
On current form the only game we win for the remainder of the season is Richmond. Obviously things can change and we will likely have a few games where we outperform and snag a win but it would be a total miracle if we won enough games to play finals. Our season is cooked.
 
I'm putting all my energy hoping this is the scenario that gets the fraud sacked

Out:
Stupid, flawed and unsustainable game plan.
Lethargic, disinterested work ethic of playing group.

In:
Complete new game strategy.
Ferociouc, never say die attack on the ball and the body, and will to win.

Conclusion:
An 8 to 10 goal improvement in performance.
 
If we play with the same level of passion against Brisbane we'll be killed. I think Rioli may give a lift if he gets up. Other than him we have the weakest small forward line-up in the competition. Anasta had a poor game and so he's not in contention. Jones for all his faults at least gives an effort and should come in for Williams, who is way out of form and was unfortunately really poor. Houston and Zerk-Thatcher are the only defenders who can hold their heads up but Farrell and Aliir tried and had some good moments.

Out: Dinky slow kicks that get cut off, Williams, Evans, Soldo and McEntee
In: Sharp passing, Jones, Rioli, Lorenz and Sweet
i thought aliir was terrible, probably had a hand in 5 giants goals
 
$2.05 for Brisbane to win next week.

It's free real estate money.
While I agree, it's kind of insane that we're 6th playing at home against 13th, we have two more wins than them, we're playing at home, and yet they're nearly even money to get the win. It shows that the punters aren't fooled by our win loss record, even if David Koch and Chris Davies are.

Richmond will likely have their players back by then....I'm not so confident.

On this game we will score somewhere between 60 and 80. I don't think that will be enough.

not sure that true, only when we play a bottom ten ken side.

pressure or not we fold against good sides/top 4 sides.

based on yesterday, I've got no idea how we could stop their forward line.. If they get enough looks they should beat us easily.
