olisik 4,060 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) 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.

Adzman 2,154 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Can Demonland as a collective group replace him as a coach? I think we have some good ideas....... sometimes 3 1 Quote
Demon Disciple 12,536 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 He’s only half the problem. Half the list is incredibly stupid. Dolphin’s possess superior intelligence than several players 2 2 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,857 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 he's not solely responsible, but i don't know what's happened to our defence Quote
olisik 4,060 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 12 inside 50s for 7 goals.... Who the [censored] is Mckernan. We made him look like Tony Lockett. Imagine Daniher was playing. 1 1 Quote

Bring-Back-Powell 15,549 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. 9 1 2 Quote
monoccular 17,760 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. 1 Quote
Greendale 350 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. 1 Quote
chook fowler 19,772 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Must happen immediately and the forward line is dysfunctional as well. 2 Quote

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 16,679 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Mckernan destroyed us. He was half fit. Get May back when fit. Oscar McDonald was TERRIBLE 1 Quote

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 Quote
At the break of Gawn 4,513 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. 1 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,334 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Port and Richmind fans laughed at us because we hired this rubbish footballer as our defensive coach. Get the [censored] out Chaplin! 4 1 2 Quote
TeamPlayedFine39 8,525 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Baffled when we hired him in the first place. Bridge burner. Later mate. 1 Quote
Bay Riffin 1,518 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. 2 Quote
olisik 4,060 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 Omac was coming good until Chaplin joined. Has gone backwards since 1 Quote
olisik 4,060 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 30 scoring shots for 50 i50 has to be some sort of record. Quote
DeeSpencer 26,678 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. 2 Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 We got the wrong one.... should have gone for Charlie. At least it would have been entertaining. 4 3 Quote

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. 2 2 Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) 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.

DemonLad5 1,642 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 The midfield was shocking defensively tonight, pretty hard to defend when the ball comes in so fast and the kickers have 15m of space 1 1 Quote
58er 6,872 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. 1 Quote
