It's not that we're losing, it is how we're losing and have been for a decade.Well that’s that then. I wanted to win because top 4 was up for grabs but there is a sense that we are now really close to the end game of this regime with this loss at least.
We didn’t play great, but the main issue is our woeful forward line. We got the ball in enough times to kick a winning score but it was just a mess. We could’ve done with Rioli, instead of him being at the west coast game hanging with his former boys.
Dixon is cooked I get that, his body has just been through too much but far out all the other tall forward options were probably worse than him. Marshall didn’t touch it before he went off, lord kicked a nice goal In the first and barely sighted again, finlayson floated in and out with some nice things but mainly shit things. Who would’ve thought that we would need the guy who missed all of last year with an ACL so much. He is now by far our most important forward.
Some pretty dirty tactics from the suns today, it worked getting them the win but it’s not sustainable, hopefully those two blokes that got jones and evans get the holidays they deserve.
JHF was an absolute disgrace today, this is where Kenny’s lovey dovey father figure coaching is talked up by the media, but his chat with him on the bench did nothing. Jhf continued to play like a sooky brat, obviously whatever daddy said he wasn’t listening to or respecting what he had to say.
Really needed a strong coach and leaders to get him to pull his head in.

For some reason many are still getting sucked into the week to week. Like Kane Cornes. We limped over the line against the 15th Saints and then played an absolutely horrendous Bulldogs who just failed miserably in their strategy. Those wins build people up to believing again, but it is a false belief. As we're ultimately still fundamentally flawed.
I applaud you for your bravery (or stupidity) in trying to keep supporting a hopeless endeavour, but we're cooked. I just can't invest in this group whatsoever, it's not worth the pain when any hope of success has long been extinguished.
There won't be a miracle top 4, and we won't even make top 8 now.
Suns just followed a pretty standard blueprint. Put pressure on us, sit back with extra numbers, clog up our scoring and try and hit us on the counter, and eventually if you can score a few key clearance goals, most teams will break us down. Suns played a great tactical game, whereas we're just extremely poorly coached.
