Big question mark over the coaching now.

Figuring this out just now loges?

[kongwacker 69]

Now I am not disappointed the AFL has been suspended, actually I am thankful 

[chook fowler 19,269]

They have taken lazy,unaccountable football to a new level.

i want my money back.

Self-loathing?

... Yeah, that's when you're in the last couple of days in the world as you know it, and still subject yourself to this torture. I deserve no better. I'm going to watch this until the end, and then count the sheets on my few remaining toilet rolls.

Recycling is probably more the order of the day from here RBM

[Diamond_Jim 12,371]

How can anyone defend this gameplan.

We have seven more inside 50's and we're almost 6 goals down

[jumbo returns 6,703]

First sphincter and hamstring tightening evening after a six month layoff

I'm struggling....

Ask Saty.

[The Chazz 4,077]

We are playing as though we have already implemented our social isolation requirements.

[Boots and all 1,000]

Surprised we're not down by more given how [censored] we're playing. Eagles have enacted the mercy rule. 

[drdrake 3,124]

Oliver and Bradshaw can only run one way, Lockhart, viney and Pickett the rest are just woeful.

Push May forward and Tmac back.

May has done nothing wrong, and Tmac has done nothing

Done with zonal defending 

I was done with it early 2019 layzie.  You are more rusted on than me then...oh wait

[The heart beats true 17,826]

How much football do we have to watch where we get beaten the EXACT same way?

Winning the inside 50’s but bombing the ball to no one. It’s been the same for 20+ games. 

The game plan stinks.

[Sargent Shultz 267]

we are currently in 16th position on the live ladder We have moved up 1 position  

I guess thats positive? come 2036, at this rate, we will win a premiship 

[dimmy 1,304]

When is Hibberd going to realise it is not a long kicking copetition ???

[FireInTheBennelly 4,060]

Has Goodwin honestly earned the right to be on the DL banner?

F— off Spargo. 

Cannot play Spargo and Bedford in the same side. We are too small otherwise, Spargo has lost it or never had it and Bedford has a long way to go.. Jones and Salem both missed. for setups and grunt.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,603]

If we are bombing it into our fwd line, why are our forwards always leading to the ball?

We are on par with Gold Coast hands down.

[Demon Disciple 11,745]

Goodwin in the box

[Pottsydee 150]

Turns out - we are still horse p**s

Hell and back????

[Pates 9,625]

Langdon has actually been decent, his basic accumulation disposals (short kicks, handballs) have mostly been good but it’s the penetrating danger kicks that have let him (and us down). 

Petracca has flashed in and out, similar to previous seasons. I think he needs to be pushing forward more though. 

Gawn’s been well beaten by NikNat. 

Brayshaw extremely disappointing. Needed to nail at least one of his kicks on goal.

Was prepared to give benefit of the doubt until this year, there were other issues last year but all the structural issues haven't been addressed. I'm not one who likes to bag the club ad nauseam

2 more months to work on our shortcomings, because we obviously haven’t addressed them in the previous 6 months.

If you can’t use the ball in today’s footy you get belted. We have 15 years of this problem. 
Disposal skill is nearly the most important element of the game. Look at Hibberd turned over every single possession. 
We are the worst disposal side in the AFL on the games this week.

[Pates 9,625]

Goodwin should be telling the players this is your last hit out for ten weeks, how do you want do go into this period?

This isn't just the cattle. Structurally we are awful. Goodwin is a 90s footballer with a 90s gameplan. We peaked during a patch in 2018. He's lucky the season is postponed. Regardless of the season outcome he'll probably coach in 2021. But we see the same issues.

I agree. I have watched every game and our skills are hopeless.  Our transition is nowhere.
