I dont get why we look so shot. I mean how many weeks did we have to get fit n ready. We look mentally cooked. Physically are we afl fit? I also question Mchenrys selection ... dont think its his size, there has been plenty of great mids around the 5"10 height - how tall is rowell? Anyway Neds reactions are too slow. All for playing the kids but its a jk that our senior players arent performing. Can handle the loss but wow that was like watching a car crash.

I’m very worried about the Jones pick. Look at Hamill. Now it’s his first game in an horrendous side, just the 9 possessions, but we all saw something didn’t we? Just glimpses, but that’s ok. There was something about him which says yes he’ll make it.

Ive barely seen a single sign from a Jones. He’s rushed, he’s fumbly, no vision, gets hammered every time he’s near it.

Im trying to find some kind of sign of a classy player but there’s nothing of quality
Different playing half back.

R23 last year should be what you're after. I don't think it's a lack of vision either. He looks upfield and sees blank space
 
That pretty much happens to everyone. Look up and find no one has worked hard enough to get where they should be, so down the line we go.
It's either do a Laird ans bomb it, a Lynch and burn it or get caught with the ball

I don’t recall see even one occasion where he was even in a position to look up and dispose of the ball.

He’s a long way behind the good players of his draft class.
 
They haven't responded even pre season. I had my concerns in the trial games. He hasn't brought anything new to the group and he can't motivate them. He was selected as he looked good on paper, but it doesn't mean much until you are in the chair.

I think unfortunately he is way out of his depth as a Senior Coach. He is a Mark Neeld or Brenden Boulton type.
Seriously. We are honestly blaming Nicks for this current rabble. C'mon mate.

Let's see him play where he was drafted to play. Think you've gone way early here.
 
I see McAsey who I think could be, and I see Fogarty. I see Jones who looks good when he actually plays there. I see Schoenberg who needs to play, and I see Milera who should be a midfielder.

This is the start of a rebuild, not halfway through.

Shit mate. None of the guys you mentioned have shown any glimpse of being 1st tier and not even close to elite. Our rebuild hasn't started yet. Thanks Hamish.

Think you're wrong, and I'll be happy to revisit this post in 3 years.
 
Murphy in a good side is excellent .....he'll struggle in a side like today's


Is he though - is he "excellent" or an honest trier who has had a couple of good games - he was recruited as a lock down defender we turned him into a small forward. In my opinion he always gives 100% but he is not a star and not excellent!
 
Good (read: merciful) --- shortened game, and final siren.

Bad/Ugly --- I don't have enough time or energy to list it all.

Regret: Not taking $7.50 on the Suns to win by 40+

was it shortened? 25 minutes in first quarter where ONE goal was kicked! Seriously was just cruel to make us endure extra time!
