12 disposals, 10 uncontested, 65% efficiency, 0 goals....... Really? I've never played the game but I think most coaches would expect greater output than that.....

No sign of Max......May have a run tomorrow but looks doubtful. Just crazy if he plays & hopefully common sense prevails.

I would have rolled again with Baker as he needs games, but hes been down the last 2 weeks & 15 touches not enough as a mid.... Astounded that JKH cant get a gig especially after hes worked his ring off to get back from a knee injury & his form this last month has apparently been very good.....time to look elsewhere son & hope you find a club that actually cares about you....good luck! Hannan kissed on the pecker again......time to buy a lottery ticket mate. Lewis really?

26 turnovers between them today.......just sayin

I wouldn't mind being Max at the moment......not to much to be concerned about.

Thanks for the posts KC JKH has to go in next week.....reward him not only for his rehab to get back but has been a standout for the last 2 weeks with speed & goal scoring. Better than bottom few in the senior team ATM......

To provide context, the bloke has been [censored] for 3 weeks & if he's been injured & is struggling to even take a chest make, then have some balls & bring in the inform players who can impact a game. Unfortunately some other players aren't afforded the luxury that Hannan has been given. I would have thought Goodwin & the FD would have learnt by round 15.

Hibberd for Wagner seems like the only change for me although can't see how Hannan holds is spot with 3 absolute stinkers......(he wouldn't get a game for Casey at the moment) I thought I knew a little about the game but like what bing181 said, as supporters we obviously have no idea what goes on in the inner sactum.

Yes I know......just cant get excited from what I've seen this year. Either way Richo would be a handy inclusion & I guess Goodwin has 3 more years to justify his position.

Alan Richardson, in my opinion, has performed extremely well considering the list he has to work with. Communication & understanding of the game appears to be very good & well regarded in the industry. (Beetles comments support this) Our boy has been out coached for most of the year & failed to make hard decisions early in the season by playing his favorites & unfit/out of form players. Consequently our season is stuffed. I know what I would do......

Your right, we are all trying to stay positive N but we have been poorly coached IMO, with a total lack of team balance whilst also playing unfit, out of form & injured players all year. I don't like the pick & it stinks.....Earned his spot? One good game in the 2's? Getting suspended again & showing a total lack of discipline & team first habits....... I do respect your thoughts, however, If you think he is the answer, then we are in more [censored] than we think.

Lewis in? Are you serious? Brad Hill, Stephen Hill, Fyfe, Walters, A Brayshaw, B Matera, Wilson.......good luck keeping up with these blokes!

I commented on this 3 weeks ago Jaded about the Lever & May inclusions, especially with limited game time at Casey (Lever 2 quarters & May 4 quarters for Casey). Makes no sense whatsoever & shows total disregard for player welfare & care . I know the players just want to play, but really, we are no chance to play finals & achieves nothing! I would have thought that the coaching & medical staff would have learnt from the Viney experience ...... Dumb....

I agree with Petraccattack.......Hore head & shoulders above those mentioned. Great job as always Deespicable but Brayshaw at 5.......astounds me.

I agree, no trading Gus, but they also have to fix the kicking of Viney, Hunt, Spargo, Gawn, T Mac, Weid & Hannan who's efficiency is under 60%.

Agree with this post.....pretty simple really. No balance with our team, playing unfit & selfish players & a side that can't convert opportunities. Play the kids & bring on 2020.

Agree Deeh...... Not sure Hunt is better than last year......sure hes played more games & kicked a few goals but his efficiency is down this year to an average of 67% (75% 2018) & meters gained at 225m (309m 2018). Marks almost exactly the same as last year too.....I mean how is someones year measured against previous year? Uncontested marks, disposals,, distance covered etc? He does however look better for me in the forward line & less margin for error as we hope hes shooting for goal more often. I agree that we are no better off at this point.....[censored] in fact!

I love Max, but have an idea.....How about never have a shot at goal from near the 50m arc? Someone throw in a block, Max handballs to a smaller mobile half forward or a mid fielder, they then have a shot on goal. Most other clubs do it..... Ruckmen should never be having shots from the 50 m arc with a game in the balance, or am I talking [censored]?

What I have been hearing re Fritta is that he doesn't have the endurance to play the wing.......which is why they either play him forward or back. Most wingers run 14 plus km per game & is why the wing is considered one of the hardest positions to play these days. I'd have him forward for mine as he is one of the best kicks in the team...... Simples!

Good stats Deever, however, tackles are not the area that's costing us wins. Accountability, skill level & efficiency is where we are [censored] & this is straight from the coaches mouth. Garlett, Hunt & Spargo all in the mid 50% area of efficiency. If your only getting single figure stats & half are going to the opposition then for me, even if you are scoring a couple of goals, unacceptable!

Unfortunately 'Bash & Crash' is not the issue.....& bringing in Lewis & Preuss wont make our team any quicker which is where our deficiencies lie.

so just for discussion sake disposal efficiency is as follows from Coll game: Harmes 66%, Gawn 53%, Oliver 76%, Brayshaw 56%, Salem 59%, Fritter 69%, Petracca 70%, Hore 67%, May 74%, Baker 67%, Viney 82%, Spargo 59%, Lever 69%, Jones 73%, Hibbard 73%, Hannan 53%, T Mac 42%, Wagner 83%, Weid 54%, Hunt 56%, Garlett 62% 12 players under 70% The worst turnovers were: Hore with 9, Harmes 6,Baker 6 & Brayshaw with 6. T Mac, Hannan, Spargo& Salem all with 5. Who is our best & most consistent ball user?

My point exactly..... why he keeps persisting with inefficient players is beyond me.

Won't matter WWSW....He's one of Goodwin's fav' is 100% in v Freo Hannan missed most of preseason & played one game for Casey (9 possesions) & straight in......I agree too re Preuss not fit enough! Bring in speed & ball use efficiency. Goodwin: 'Our efficiency killed us all over the ground'

apologies Beetle.....I'm still seething over the loss ha ha agree, one of the players that can hold their head up.....May very good today!
