Interesting. So we do take potentially season over ending injuries seriously? Wouldn’t have thought so based on tonight….

Can’t disagree with most of this. Most of those players above are habitually mediocre. Move them on. I’m sick of them. Get more kids in to the team from next year, at least they add energy and enthusiasm. Sharman looks like he will be a nice player. Byrnes and Connelly are going OK. Let’s get more of them.
As for the coach, at the risk of being howled down, we are going nowhere with Ratten. Constantly out coached in games and we get flogged far too often. He is not the man to lead us going forward, but we’ll plod on with him, waste another 12 months and continue with the mediocrity.
We desperately need another key defender and key forward.

Would rather have had Coff and Lonie in for Hunter and Kent.
And they apparently had the 3rd-least amount of shots for goal that they’ve had in a game for the season.
They were on in a big way and we were off in a big way.
Plenty of work to over the off-season.

Maybe she's born with it?
Thought I'd watched a different game for a second!
Maybe, just maybe, if we try to lose we might actually win.
Win, lose, nothing’s ever worked for us.
This why we need a tall defender and our midfield was shocking - stats look great but it is what they did with it.
God we need Josh Kelly.
Agree with 7 of the 8, would keep Dunstan. Havent they already got a review going?, this was the mid season review. So now we need an end of season review to try and fix any **** ups from the mid season review.

They didn't kill us with tall forwards. Most Of the damage from Mc Kay was done while we had Dougal on. We couldn't transition and gave them easy shots on goal from skill errors and stupid mistakes. Guys like Honey looked like guns because we kept giving it to them.

Got to play Byrnes, Bytel, Connolly, Clav and Sharman every game from now on.
I don’t care who we drop to fit them in.

Because he was brought to the club as cream , but he aint. Has trouble getting his own ball. Very obvious tactic by the club to use him in the "receiver" role but the other teams have woken up to it. Very good when he has plenty of room.
Clav should never have been dropped in the 1st place - didn't really do anything wrong. But were fixated on only playing 1 kpd

I don’t remember ever seeing so many field mis-kicks. I hate those stupid over the shoulder Hollywood handballs with a passion - they rarely come off. Just do the damn basics, I don’t want to see the Harlem Globetrotters.
No goal kicked against him last week, 8 marks and 14 disposals. Phunter would take about 8 games to have that impact. Having 2 ruckman of which 1 isn't afl level and 1 kpd is weird. The guy gave blocking frees in the ruck against McGovern last week, which is basically the minimum requirement of what not to do

Our backs really fell apart this match, but look at the starting 6 we should have had, bar injuries this year.
Paton - Howard - Geary
Wilkie - Carlisle - Sinclair
Literally only Wilkie left standing! Doesn't include Frawley or Battle (also injured) either
We literally didn't have a backline.

They got some easy ball in their forward line, they were licking their chops. We were so disorganised. All of their midfield kicked a goal, maybe Silvagni didnt but that was probably due to leather poisoning.

He was playing in West Coasts third/forth forward rather than someone a 195cm key defender should be matched up on because he wasn't capable of playing on a decent key forward.
Jesus Gringo, if that was obvious to you, you must do alright at the cryptic crosswords.
Had me just looking at the screen blinking.
I don't even have anything to say about football tonight.
Well I'll say this. Signs were worrying from the first quarter. Only half watched after that.
Have to win 3 or 4 of our last 4. And we lose to a ruckless carlton.
And to think I bothered opening a bottle of wine for this game.
Looks good on paper mate, Crouch did absolutely **** all.
He is only one player, we basically got flogged because we fumbled, made poor decisions, kicked like shit and 100 other things.
When guys like Honey etc are kicking goals you know you have a problem
We need another tall down back and not a spud, because playing with only Wilkie and Highmore we are in for massive problems - next week Buddy and whoever , then Hawkins and Cameron , then Lobb , Tabener and Tracy and we know plugging the hole with Joyce and Cavarino is a joke.
Our backline was exposed badly today.

Watch us waste Steele, Marshall and Kings careers with mediocrity. Fish rots at the head
