What the hell happened?

Very worrying signs.

I think it would be almost fair to call or season finished after this game. It's a long list of non performers but Fritta not laying a single tackle sims him up. It's one thing to be out of form but not laying a tackle speaks about intent and attitude I'm afraid. Props to Chandler and JV today but I'm struggling to find any other positives. I feel like the wheels fell off today and this will be like the Freo game last year. It's early in the season and I think last week exhausted us but the ot was the skill level that troubled me all day. Plus the predicament I mentioned pregame about not having a fwd line three years in a row. So there's that. Goody is officially under the pump and that's not easy for a premier coach.

No. He's still a very good player. Trouble is he's had to carry everything by himself for eons. The club admitted as much when it recruited Grundy. Did it bother replacing him ? Na. Just didn't care.

I want to see a lot of players dropped after today. But what I really want is every single person at the club responsible for not fixing our fwd line issues that have been so glaringly obvious for just too long. Surely that's fair. I think those of us who pay their membership and go each week deserve a lot better than this. Much,much ,much, better. It's hard to understand that we won a flag less than only FOUR years ago. And how far we have fallen since we almost beat the 23 premiers and we're likely to win a flag. I guess there are a couple of superstar midfielders that let us down and the club has done the rest. It's a shame really. I know it's early days but I think this will be a bad marker like that Freo game when things went belly up. I know it's not Goodys fault but I think it's alarm bells now and time to panic.... Time for a sweep for me. Cheers guys.

Yep. And to think we pinned our season on him last year as a fwd. He was good last week but had a mare today . And some people were complaining about the time slots we have. No wonder when we serve this type of tripe. I'm laying the blame totally on the club. How many of us have been howling about our abysmal fwd line? I hope Fritta gets dropped for a month. I don't care . It's one thing to not touch the pill but it's inexcusable to have not laid a single discernable tackle. See ya Fritta. Jvr has gone totally backwards. Oliver and Coney and Chandler have done well. But so many of them have been terrible. But the club goes first in blame for not having any players we can replace any of these players up forward. Big time.

The club has been expecting the backline to win games for us. Defenders don't kick winning scores.

I know our fwd line is non existent but this is not a good idea. In fact it sums up what has been wrong with this chub for three years. No forward line and no desire or effort to resolve it. As evidenced last year moving Petty up fwd. Didn't work then and won't work now. I understand why you mention it but it won't change anything. The club has been relying on our backline year after year to win games. Problem is and I'll type it slowly so the boffins at the club can read it , back lines don't kick winning scores. Where's the replacement for Hogan? Grundy, Joel Smith, Tmac, Jackson? Nah let's just not worry about it. Let's even move Jvr to play in the middle instead of finding a decent support for Max. As bad as our skills have been today, the club has to accept responsibility on not having the cattle so we can drop a few of the offenders out there . They have been equally as bad.

That handball by Spargo sums it up.

Third quarter almost over and Fritta has his third kick. He is a shadow of the guy that helped win our last flag. We have been playing such lazy footy all day. It's been a disgraceful effort.

How was that no free. So just go to ground and not get pinged then.

Might as well just kicked it for them. Well done Goody for making a change before it's all over.

That was ghastly.

Spargo has been horrible with his disposal. And I've never seen so many handballs made in sheer desperation. Nice kick from Disco let's hope he's the difference. Cos it ain't Fritta and doesn't look like Jvr will be. And even if we moved Tracca fwd, he can't score. These look away handballs are atrocious.

Thanks to Chin otherwise we would be down five goals

We will bounce back and win. Big time. But it will be hard to forget some of that really bad footy.

I've been watching someone I thought was Jeffo. I'm sad he's subbed off but glad I've been watching the wrong bloke. I have high hopes for Jeffo. What happened to him?

Thanks heaps for that. Who is the bloke with the moo of curly hair up fwd?

It's a lot of factors but yeah the fumbling and very low skill level is embarrassing. But as mentioned previously game, we just have no fwd line at all. It's been this way for three years now so I'm not sure why we expect to win.

We look like the seconds. Apologies to Chandler and a couple of others.

We have made so many lazy and inaccurate handballs today. It's absolutely pathetic at times.

Unfortunately Jefferson looks totally lost today. Goody needs to mix things up on the fwd line. I'm not sure what... Suggestions?

I haven't stopped since the last siren against Gws

Max can't score a goal of the posts were 300 m apart. Almost half time and Frittas had two touches. Yea s goal bit zip tackles. Surely he needs to do much ch more. Nice to see some ccs at least. Gotta convert.

I've been bagging him all week but today he has shown what he used to play like .
