Jaded No More

If the 132 coaches we have can’t between them put a brain cell together and bring in a second tall forward, I give up. And anyone who can justify the position of Melksham or Lockhart or Smith ahead of Jones, Jetta or OMac, I would love your explanation.

Goodwin is either an idiot or a bad communicator. How can the game plan be “handball at all costs and kick it quickly and long into the forwardline” while at the same time not have a single contested marking forward in form up forward?

The final score flattered us and once again is masking the true awful picture. They had 3 down in the last quarter and still ran circles around us. Our skills are atrocious. We have no urgency at all. We have no idea what to do with the footy. No forward targets. Another horrible day in the office for the guys in the box. Bad selection going in. Bad game plan.

The lack of urgency from our players. That kick from Oliver. What a disgrace. He has gone completely backwards. 4 down on the bench. They are running all over us.

Oscar can defend one on one. For all his flaws he can defend. Joel Smith is running to contests because he’s losing his opponent in the pace of the game.

Yep. You’d hate to play Weideman.

Can we please agree that Smith needs to go and Oscar deserves a game as we need an actual defender?

Joel Smith OMG

In some crazy way I want a big loss as it might finally see some pressure on the clowns in the coaching box

I genuinely forgot Melksham was playing

Imagine if Oscar played like him? Oh boy. At least Oscar can defend.

Stop rewarding those players with games?

Of course players are to blame for their shocking skills. But the fundamental game plan is flawed. It’s a high risk low reward. It doesn’t play to our strengths at all. We refuse to play a second target up forward which is forcing the players to bomb long as we have no leading targets. We also don’t pressure the ball carrier at half back which means the ball rebounds straight out and the back line is all at sea and the opposition can pick a whole host of players unmanned.

Why did we get Brown if we won’t play him? Why didn’t we trade Weid when his currency was super high post finals if we won’t play him?

For the love of god what is the coaches job if not to ensure we can play under pressure? Or use the footy? Or have a forward to kick to? What is Goodwins job mate?

Another goalless quarter. Well done.

Lol that kick from Fritsch. Rubbish.

Let’s see Goodwin do nothing

Nothing was more obvious than Melbourne playing Richmond back into form.

[censored] hell this game plan is a disgusting joke

NO FORWARDLINE

Can we [censored] off with the Joel Smith experiment? Goodwin is experimenting like he doesn’t give a [censored] about winning games. Must be his long term cushy contract.

Joke decision.

They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair.

Fritsch is so much better when played as a high half forward. The problem is that we still have not a single marking forward inside 50. Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me.
