Come on 'Wise'...

Give me a break, both teams played on the same ground with the same ball.

One team played smart team football the other was a rabble...

Yeah, yeah.

i understand ANB is one of our fastest players, has the best endurance. has anyone seen any of that this year. All i saw was him running around in circles half chasing tiger players. he got a luck goal, because he was so far away from his player at the time who would if he had got the ball would have sent the tigers into attack. I do not see why this guy keeps getting games. he was dropped for a poor effort a couple of weeks ago and gets a recall based on what. .

Complete desperation.

Unfortunately not good enough and watching the Tigers and the love they have  playing for each other I envy them.  Where is that fight ,where is that hunger, where is the love.  The spirit seems to be missing. Stretch can hold his head up high and gave it his all.

Gawny, Oliver, Brayshaw, Melksham ,Salem Viney and Marty Hore.  The rest have some sole searching to do. Same olds holding us together.  No more excuses l have heard it all before enough is enough.

Drop Weideman and Tom McDonald. Seriously. Bring in Preuss and Keilty next week. Just to give them a go. Hunt also is gone. No footy brain. 

The seasons done, leave him in and develop better structures and leading patterns. Work up and be an option.

Keilty should have played today. Preuss needs to work on fittness to also work up more and be an option, multiple options from multiple forwards. 3 talls is a must, petraccas not fulfilling that role, his better games this year were with 3 talls, couldnt understand why he wasnt put up around the ball earlier. Keilty or preuss to help ruck. We also need to use these options instead of ignoring them. Because we are predictable opposition just zone off. Same as setups stoppage setups.

Coming out of defence is the same, always the same flank on the boundary, gawn even went to a 1 on 3 with the 1 being lockhart. Another example was lewis, gawn was in the go to flank 4 tigers flocked to him which is what we always do, lewis hit brayshaw up which let us relieve the repeat 50s.

The forwards are pathetically bad but the midfielders are nearly as bad, they are always looking for dinky handballs, they muck around with it. Jones I’m afraid could be finished, he NEVER gets free, Oliver gets the ball but little handballs go nowhere, Brayshaw gets easy kicks that go nowhere, reckon he turns the ball over 80% of time.

The forwards are no good but they’ve got no chance if ball comes in with no direction except straight into hands of opposition, clearly there is something drastically wrong at the club, don’t know what it is but Goodwin has a hell of a lot of explaining to do, something needs to change, people need to be removed, someone needs to pay for the incredible downfall from last year!! 

Yes interesting that we always had issues up forward and down back but our midfield kept us more than competitive last year but it too has now collapsed into mediocrity, no cohesion, just every man for himself. 

I don't understand how Richmond pluck a kid like Sydney stack post draft and we waste our high picks on duds with no pace such as spargo, fritsch, petty and sparrow. Jason Taylor needs to go

Need a sack Jason Taylor thread. Hasn’t picked up any solid picks in a few years.

The cupboard is completely bare at Casey is why.

Review of what is happening at Casey and trade table needed ASAP as well as the entire list

Oli, do not know how old you are but I was around in 60's and both you and I would have got 28 disposals out there tonight with Dees kicking to us!!! when we are by ourselves!!!

Absolutely pathetic recruiter. Unforgivably picked weideman over curnow and mckay.

Time to leave Stretch on a wing for the rest of the year. Tonight he showed glimpse, so i would just get as much games and experience into him.

We had the chance to step up in 2019

We never had the chance to step up in 2019. You just can not have massive slabs of your list unavailable for full training till mid-January and expect the team - or what's left of it - to be ready by Round 1. You then spend the rest of the season playing catch-up, while being booted from pillar to post.

Thats a positive thing to keep him mentally healthy.

 

I'm just feeling numbified atmo.

Great way of looking at it. At 7 days old he doesn't have tear ducts yet, so it's about as effective as our gameplan right now haha

Same here mate

One of his best games for the club tonight.

If you want to spew up , watch Goodwins presser. He is positive and thinks we are moving in the right direction

When you kick over your shoulder you are quite likely to turn it over. You do that because you cant get a meter on your opponent to turn chest facing the target. We are unfit which accentuates our lack of speed.

Yep says it all

It’s the same flogs every week that blame umpires & commentators. FCS forget about them and direct all your anger at our Football Dept, Recruiting & List Management. 

You get the results you deserve!!!!

Agree, we traded up for picks and then he raises eye brows and drafts Sparrow and Jordan much higher then anyone expected. Both unlikely to make it in AFL.

Those "high picks" were 2nd and 3rd rounders. Taylor is amongst the last  who should be sacked.

But of course, you'd know best
