We picked a team of runners and it poured rain . Picked Preuss as well but hard to Mark in the wet. As bad as we are it’s rotten luck.

Yes, our game plan doesn’t stack up and yes we only have a handful of decent players. But we we were pretty unlucky to play in those horrid conditions two weeks in a row.

Neal Bullen lol

Just really really poor skills, not teaming well at all. We look like a club under pressure and lacking confidence and have actually gone backwards. Is it coaching or the players? It looks like the players lacking composure to me.

We just play dumb footy and make silly decisions under any sort of pressure at all. 34% kicking efficiency

All we are doing is going for distance with our kicks, there’s no pin point passes or run and carry. Freo are piling on the pressure and we are playing right into their hands.

Come on Freo put us out if our misery ffss!!

Neal Bullen is like an under 12s kid who just kicks it anywhere

I doubt they would make a selection decision that far out from a game. Id say it would have to have been conditional on Bennells fitness and form

Even this late in the season we are still looking for the right mix.

Hopefully they’ll play Smith forward

I love most of the ins, but dropping Brown who has been our best marking target the last 2 weeks is a bit strange. I think they picked Preuss to reall try and stretch the Oppo by having he and Gawn rotate deep.

I don’t think getting a Hodge in will do that much.. This playing group need to grow a pair, and have to take destiny into their own hands. They must build their own culture/legacy. It really should be lead by guys like May, Lever, Gawn , Brayshaw, Viney, Melksham, Langdon, Salem and Petracca.

We weren’t soft at the back end of 2018, and were actually being described as brutal by certain sections of the media. The question is why haven’t we played with the same vigor since? Are they just comfortable with themselves and just happy to be AFL players but without the drive and burning desire to do the hard yards to succeed?

It’s all about run and zip and we only have one player in Langdon doing that so we need more Bedford and Baker have those attributes

This is exactly why we have gone backwards. Not good enough, and it’s looking more and more like the coaching

We were a great club in the 50s/60s Since then been bog ordinary We have no right to be treading water We should be desperate, ruthless and brutal.

Exactly We are far from that ruthlessness we saw late 2018 and have become almost smug , meek and mild , with no right to be.

We are still a shadow of the team we were in 2018 and will only be making up the numbers if we fall in. The only chance is to find that fire and fierce desire again.

Too many similar types. We only have one runner in Langdon. Against the swans Langdon was everywhere and really showed up his flat footed team mates.

We just don’t have that killer instinct. Don’t want it bad enough . They are happy playing golf and surfing in the hub. Should have come out breathing fire against the swans, but what we got was lukewarm.

We were very lucky to win that albeit for a bounce. They smashed us in the clearances and inside 50s. They also sit above us on the ladder Clearly a better team.

St Kilda improved 200% when he left.

GWS did us a favor Hopefully they can stay in. Will spare us the embarrassment, and begin the process of a serious review and a clean out of the chaff.

Maxy seems to have lost the art of ruck work
