Blue-and-red

Can’t share the enthusiasm here, ‘wins’ like this paper up cracks - we are a bloody ordinary footy team and more often than not have been for a few years - we should be better than what we are, but we need to see that we are not, it’s not about the opposition, it’s about us and how we play and make decisions on the ground. Our coaching has been sub-standard for awhile against the best and we never want to deal with the hard truth. Anyone looking objectively at our performances knows we are nowhere near another premiership - who amongst the current coaches will challenge the club with this view and cause change? Who will speak up against the mantra that we ‘are learning’, we still ‘don’t know what our best forward set up is’ etc etc - it’s always glass half full stuff from our coaches, particularly Goody - we are always ‘trying to get better’ … but unsurprisingly, never do… my main point is we haven’t learnt, or developed any further than where we were mid way through last year, if anything we are worse. This to me comes back to our coaching which I believe is sub-standard and complacent. Our ‘window’ is closing, I’ve been following he demons for 50 years and time goes quickly and I just feel we are missing a golden opportunity with some ‘lazy’ management

Gee max needs a rest

What does it take to have a ruck on the goal line - it never happens and it’s bloody frustrating

How is it we have two tall ruckmen on the ground yet whenever we have a clearing kick off the half back line we are consistently out marked on the half forward line - where is Grundy??

Gee we are an ordinary team a lot of the time

Thank god for their poor goal kicking

Some goal kicking practice required…..

Kozi kicks some great goals - just wish someone would tell him to stop giving away silly free kicks (pushing players in the back when about to kick) and flying for impossible marks when better staying grounded

Gee we have a lot of players playing selfish footy - very few looking to set someone up in a better position, our forwards key culprits

As a team we are lazy - sit back and don’t get in to compete when the opposition serves it up, quick to run forward for the easy receive and possession, repeat of last half of 2022, just don’t want to do the work at the contest when it really counts

Love Max, but gee he’s soft when targeted, doesn’t throw his weight around and cause fear, Grundy is worse, whenever we play Port Allih Allih always plays a dominant game and we can’t compete with his body work

Trac always trying to play basketball not footy, endemic problem he’s never got out of his game

The ability of Oliver to kick the ball to the opposition is unbelievable

Attitude and performance of our midfield tonite is pathetic, we won’t do any better than last year and haven’t learnt much based on this performance - no commitment and desire to dig in when it gets tough

Great win, don’t think much of Brisbane, but the way we played was good, a bit more variety in tactics
