old dee

RN I have been saying for weeks that we still have a lot of players that are not good enough. Now a lot of people say that is negative I say it is facing the facts. You lose the odd game because of screw ups you lose multiples because you are not good enough i.e. the players on the other teams are better than ours. We get hammered by the top 4 or 5 sides because we are not even close yet to their skill levels. Sunday was different because I do not believe that Carlton have better players than us. Add in the long term injuries and we are struggling to beat anyone. The fact remains our playing group is still at the level of the bottom 5-6 teams

Excellent summation H_T We simply don't have as good a list as a lot want to believe.

There are IMO opinion a few simple things here. - Our list was VFL standard two years ago. -It has been improved but it still has a long way to go. -we still have poor depth Early in the year before long term injuries started to mount we had a better group to pick from hence some good results. In the last few weeks we have been forced to play people who are either NQR or are kids playing their first 10 games and do not know their arse from their elbow at senior level. Surprise surprise we are struggling. If our depth was just 4 -5 players better I am confident we would now have 8 wins. Increased depth next year will show further improvement and more wins.

Not if he is your whipping boy pitmaster. I am not a big fan but he has been far from our worst this year. His disposal is his weak point but there are plenty of others who as bad if not worse. He has one big thing going for him that a large number of others could emulate. He gets the bloody ball.

Forget the ones who are not members Dr. I agree with you I doubt there are more than a few amongst our 36000 members.

You are assuming they are all "Rambling, rabid emails"

Now you are getting it. Mr Roos will be so impressed.

Negativity LDC of all people I expect better

and are still back there LDC

Then how come that has not been done with Frost.He has disappeared from view. 2-3 weeks on one report then nothing. Missing without a trace

Love it positive Pete. That should spur the team into action with all that clear air for them.

Wonder who replaces them?

Negative negative Jr I would have expected better from you.

Oh please have you learnt nothing from the last 48 hours.At our best we win by five goals not so best five points.

Now that is positive keep it up it can only make us better.

No problem Bail and Jones will fill their spots and do better.

Sorry no can do only positive thoughts from here on.I am worried Dawes might not get up this week. We need his skill and marking ability in the forward line not to mention is accurate goal kicking. Go Chris !

If the coach can why can't I ?

Well I have been told by those on high that it is all my fault.So the waves of positive thought this week will produce a win. It will won't it?

I tend to agree have already said on another thread the dees by three goals

Relax guys we have got this one covered. Dees by three goals

They are resting him

Do you have any hope that one day we will play in WA McQueen and have any hope of an even contest? I at least get to see a few wins in a season

Don't worry we have got this one.

Below is a link ( hope it works ) to an article in of all places WA. Interesting thoughts. https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/afl/a/29354772/stevos-sting-paul-roos-has-made-a-meal-of-it/
