We are still in it by scoreboard but they are all over us and better coached/drilled. They look so slick and easily run past us without trouble.

Same crap each week. Season on the line and we have 4 tackles in the wet? Lead some stats but poorly coached and no PLAN! Kick it to Max on every kick in. Jeez Simon is out of his depth. Go already. Weak as [censored]. Should be game over already tbh.

Hibberd on Walters, perfect matchup by Goodwin seeing Hibberd almost didnt play.

With so many changes each week, how do we even find continuity and connection that Goodwin speaks of? Totally unsettled and all over the place. 13 changes in 2 weeks and 17 in 3 weeks? A lot of these changes also weren't even close to the right ones either.

We should win, with ease, but I'm sure we will play rubbish with no strategy and then get a run on at the end, a normal flat track bully game imo. But it will still prove, we are going nowhere under Simon. Must say, thanks to a lot of posters sarcasm has got me through lately, even the positive posters are having a laugh!

Actually, who are the people on the selection committee? Seems to be a very big issue in recent years

So I very quickly done a ladder predictor, if we win all 3 games we make the 8 on percentage and/or one game clear. If we win 2 of the last 3 then we still don't make it? Anyone else with more time had a go at a predictor? Not that I really care, we will bail straight out anyway I feel. Also, Melksham is a mate of Goodys.....thats why he is still playing. Says it all. We should win tonight you'd think....surely? Lots of changes though, 13 changes in 4 days? Lost count.

Why....do we rate as the number 1 midfield, have the best ruckman, arguably the best wingman, most improved mid/forward, likewise the full back yet still dish up the same turd burgers each week? Ranked 18th for tackles and 13th for clearances, what was all that talk about brand and being ruthless? We even do it in our wins! Goodwin has no idea I'm afraid and we are so close to burning talent again. Even if we make finals, we still know what we will dish up next year. We have belted up 5 of the 7 bottom sides, and only just in a couple of those games. We are a directionless/rudderless team, thats coaching.

Am I the only one who thinks Viney actually stood back out of the packs a bit last night? Seems like he was just flapping around and not trying? He did have that hit on Rivers but I actually thought he was lifeless last night. Like either a direction to stand back or just not interested, I don't know. I do agree however with posters saying selfish, which I actually think means not the brightest. He really does stuff it all up and as I've always said, a very limited footballer.

Still no excuses, they're professional athletes, know how to prepare. It's not as if they flew all the way from Russia. Excuses is why this club is P-weak. Effort is a non-negotiable, 2hr flight doesn't excuse not trying. On top of that, the club should've kicked up a stink, in the media, like McGuire does, but obviously said "yes Gil." SYD are bottom 4 and missing some of their best players, now come on.

18th in tackles? That’s not the brand, or learnings we hear about each week. Hmmm, has he lost the players?

vs STK he is, maybe not for every other week ?

Absolutely pathetic performance. My mind hasn’t changed on Goodwin one bit.

Love this kids poise, composure and skills. Can't wait to see where his career goes. A level head on the HBF for the next 10 years if he keeps this up.

Nakia is my mates nephew, he's a lovely kid but regrettably just always injured so a no from me. He's just had an awful run and so much talent.

Only we will find a way to lose after that start. Fingers crossed

Where have we gone? Goody can’t adapt to saints changing it up?

Seems a wall of players at half back and then pushing up?

Spot on, agree.

Story today online that Neil Balme could be leaving Richmond, a few clubs interested etc. Haven't watched or read full story but damn we need him. Combine with a Clarkson appointment, the mouth would froth. https://www.9now.com.au/footy-classified/2020/clip-ckec07ewa001d0gmj574deunn

Our skills and structures are really awful

I wouldn't be surprised to heat TMAC has a back injury similar to what Tom Hawkins played with a few years ago when he couldn't get near it.

Does anyone actually talk footy in here these days, or just complain all game about umpires and not our pathetic skills or how poorly Goodwin coaches game day....they have a ploy so far and its working, exactly what cats did to us.

Player: No I can't do any of those things. Club: No worries, here's a 5 year deal worth $750k p.a. Mahoney goes down as a club saviour.

Goodwin is not the future and neither are some of our players. This is meant to be a response game, its horrendous. Blame umpires all you like but we putrid.
