we carn't string more than 1 possession together, we ain't getting any possessions

7 i50s to 1 at the moment. that ain't great.

Stop kicking / leading to the pockets and stop trying to kick torps!

Ok WTF is with the dumb bombing of the ball to nobody??

In this second game we're under immense pressure so we've flooded back. Which means we have absolutely nothing to kick to.

It's accentuated by the fact that all our kicks are panicky snaps. We've had 1 mark to the Lion's 27 apparently and we still haven't scored after 19 minutes.

Again, decision making killing us.

This is disgraceful

The score really doesn't reflect how bad we've played. Hard to find any positives thus far.

Agree completely in this game, decision making is not flash. We just aren't playing the conditions well at all, long bombs when we get it and little composure. Still not worried in the slightest as after 5 months of training in good conditions we were bound to find it tough in the wet. I'm more interested in the games against the Pies and Hawks in better conditions to see how we go.

Gameplan = bomb the ball and hope for the best

WOW SHOCKING

This was a game to be won...........we lost..........against the GoldCoast, FFS.

Same old pathetic skills by us............ not them!

It's gunna be a long 2012 .

what a joke of a performence! were going too lose both games against poor sides.... positive is compo picks, with efforts like this, we'll get picks 1&2.....Tanking? no where just [censored]!

Absolutely pathetic!!!!! Geez what a disgraceful half! Bring back Bailey!!!

...that's rough.

Leopards don't change their spots unfortunately. Attricious skills and decision making, conditions considered.

Haven't seen anything I wanted to see in terms of structure and game plan.

The bombing into 50 will not work. Can only hope that was partly due to the weather.

I'm very worried about our movement into the forward line. We seem to have reverted to the "bomb it long and hope for the best" tactic that served us so badly for the last few years.

WHERES THE PANIC BUTTON CAN I PUSH IT YET

My uncles best mate who's a bookie (25 years), said if a VFL/AFL team doesn't play a proper practice match (of four qtr's with score's) pre-season, then they're stuffed for the remaining of the year.

This replies are hilarious. Let the necking begin!

I'm also hearing a lot of us getting clearances and immediately turning it over. Unacceptable.

whats the effn score?

Bate kicking down the boundary line gives me nightmares.

A serious comment - has this team been training with footballs or just doing running drills? Also, have we adopted the Collingwood approach - if so, it is a retrograde step, as successful teams adopt a new approach, not just copy previous successful teams. Just open questions at this stage - not trying to do a Labor Party on the new coach!

whats the effn score?
