BAMF 4,487 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Went exactly how I thought. Positives: Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney all looked way better than last week. Viney in particular. Still so many passengers, and we have no one to replace them. Very concerning. Quote

Lord Travis 10,819 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Our game style is shithouse. It’s like we’ve gone back to 2014 when Paul Roos was just starting to teach our players how to defend and they were running around like headless chooks. 2 Quote

Ok, we know the talent is there, so what happened? Was it effort? Was it game plan? Was it literally "one of those nights"? ATTITUDE.... Quote

You’ve missed the point entirely. Quote

Our forward line and backline are a shambles and we are slow and can't use the ball properly. Only a handful of players putting in and that is only the start of our problems. You fooled me once Melbourne you won't fool me again. Back to 3 game membership for me. What a disgrace this club is. How about me I just clocked up my 20th consecutive year in the Redlegs.... 3 1 Quote

Sydee 4,684 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I expected that this would be a comfortable loss but it’s the way this team lets everyone down that is just so depressing and predictable 1 Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,474 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Thanks so much Demons.... Over to you Goodwin, i am over it What did you do over summer?, i know you refused to watch the Perth Final but Maybe, just maybe you should have watched it many times, and i mean all of it... You may have learnt about attitude.... 8 Quote

Are we in a different training program from other sides due to our high finish last year?

It's a mess at the minute. The stats suggest we are still doing some of the things that make us a good side, but our use going forward and the pressure in there is non-existent. Not to mention the ease with which they run it out of there and the acres and acres of space they have. 5 Quote

Earl Hood 6,167 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Why did we always seem to be receiving the ball facing in the wrong direction, so having to turn and get tackled or just hack it forward to the opposition. Plenty of grit but no system. Too many players down on confidence Jones, Fritsch, OMac, Hibberd. Max going OK but not linking up well with Oliver who put in a blinder and Viney, so to no effect. 1 Quote

You're probably right, although getting rolled by 80 points in Geelong wouldn't have been on the agenda. We need to change some things in a big way, and I'm already keen to see that response on Friday night. Quote
Sigil 1,002 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Forward line is stuffed, but there are massive problems in our midfield as well, which I think is worse. Choo choo get's a pass, but the way the rest of them play is yuck. They get the ball, move it forward to no advantage whatsoever, and make us trivia questions on biggest loss after "statistical" dominance. Trying to find positives right now, but it's bloody hard.
