Sack everyone (mega-thread)

[olisik 4,060]

Troy Chaplin has single handedly turned our defence into a shambles. Rawlings had our limited talented of a defence playing decent footy, then in swooped Troy Chaplin who now has our defence breaking some sort of record for opposition inside 50 conversion rate.

Can Demonland as a collective group replace him as a coach?

I think we have some good ideas....... sometimes

[Demon Disciple 12,490]

He’s only half the problem. Half the list is incredibly stupid. Dolphin’s possess superior intelligence than several players

[whatwhat say what 23,629]

he's not solely responsible, but i don't know what's happened to our defence

[olisik 4,060]

12 inside 50s for 7 goals....

 

Who the [censored] is Mckernan. We made him look like Tony Lockett. Imagine Daniher was playing.

Our backline coach has changed. That’s what’s happened 

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,351]

I knew what we were getting when he as an MFC paid employee wore a Richmond scarf to the entire 2017 finals series and carried on like their number 1 fan boy.

[monoccular 17,697]

Roos concentrated on getting the defence right then moving forward.

Can he please be recalled?

Absolute in-lead rabble. Headless crooks.

Even Nev has gone backwards partly at least as a result of lack of structure. 

[Greendale 350]

Every year since Roos left our structures have been getting worse. I don't care that we made a prelim last year, our coaches are holding this group back.

[chook fowler 19,734]

Must happen immediately and the forward line is dysfunctional as well.

Not silly statements Mono. Roos got the fundamentals right by shoring up the defence then pushed us forward. JLT and last 3 games we have gone backwards. Can't blame backs entirely as mids like Jones do not get back to help.

[spirit of norm smith 16,651]

Mckernan destroyed us.  He was half fit.  

Get May back when fit. 

Oscar McDonald was TERRIBLE

Totally agree with these comments. Roos set a sound foundation. Goodwin is a young coach does he have someone who could mentor him. He will be overwhelmed soon the club need to do something as this is going to get ugly

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

We have the worst defence in the league. Every other team defends better than us. Even Carlton’s look much better. All of Paul Roos’ defensive work has pretty much become undone. 

Serious problems with the personnel. 

Omac and Frost have got to go.

[dazzledavey36 55,988]

Port and Richmind fans laughed at us because we hired this rubbish footballer as our defensive coach.

Get the [censored] out Chaplin!

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,525]

Baffled when we hired him in the first place.  Bridge burner.  

Later mate.

[Bay Riffin 1,509]

totally agree. if we at least had an organised backline we would be 2-1. Midfield not the problem, forward line down especially with TMac playing injured / underdone. but the backline is a chaotic shambles. no pace, no teamwork, no system.

[olisik 4,060]

Omac was coming good until Chaplin joined. Has gone backwards since

[olisik 4,060]

30 scoring shots for 50 i50 has to be some sort of record.

[DeeSpencer 26,479]

Jetta and Salem are playing well enough, Hibberd up and down. The speed at which the ball is coming from the midfield is undefendable. 

There's plenty of bad stuff but it starts with key defenders incapable of influencing contests even semi reliably.

Even Josh Wagner played ok tonight by getting to good spots and attacking the ball. 

I won't judge an assistant coach until they have some level of talent to work with.

[beelzebub 23,390]

We got the wrong one.... should have gone for Charlie. At least it would have been entertaining.

But that’s always how it appears when coaches are crap. Omac and frost took us into the prelim .....6 months ago!  They didn’t have operations either. Whatever has happened since then has sent them backwards at a huge pace. Imo it’s gotta have something to do with Troy. The first quater last night was truly lamentable...imo the most disorganised and comical We’ve  looked down back since 2013. I was shocked. Yes it got better after that but whatever plan they’re attempting to implement clearly isn’t working. 

[beelzebub 23,390]

Our style...for want of a better word ...of football only worked (sic) whilst opposition allowed it. Once teams twigged...they deny  us our game and play theirs.

We are so dumb we just keep going our way...but are no longer relevant as better ( probably at a count of 17 now ) teams have worked us out 

Sadly the FD hasn't worked out that we've been worked out.

The midfield was shocking defensively tonight, pretty hard to defend when the ball comes in so fast and the kickers have 15m of space 

[58er 6,849]

Defence cost us in First Quarter not helped by lack of pressure from midland forwards.

I think Oscar played his worst game last night and Petty (not Kelty) deserve the opportunity to claim that position till the injured return and beyond if he shows his true ability.

FWIW thought Hibbo returned to some form and Nev got back on track last night.

It's also so one dimensional to just punch someone must mark the ball and get it moving to create tun and carry to out forwards.
