Ted Lasso

Totally agree, and i think it will help his confidence a lot to simplify his role, just get him to lead hard all day and take as many marks as he can, it wouldn't be easy being a bloke with huge media speculation, only in his second year and having the pressure of basically having to kick 50% of the scores of the side for us to win, gotta feel for him a bit in that sense, but his sooky attitude doesn't help. I'd probably just play one of Frost or Pedo out of full forward and get Hogan up the ground

Did he run over your dog? i reckon there are about 30 blokes on our list that are more of a worry than Dom

I think there is a huge case at the MFC of believing their own hype, Brayshaw is the one i feel sorry for, i think we overcooked him last year and we bought him in clearly underdone this week. Jesse Hogan to be is someone who knows how talented he is but his work rate isn't anywhere near where it should be, which i think it was last year. Tom Mcdonald had another shocker, beaten totally but couldn't do anything on offense either. Max Gawn wins a lot of hit outs but so few to any real advantage, that's what he needs to start doing before he'll reach the heights of Goldstein and Mumford

No, it's not, i think he will play this year but no rush.

It doesn't matter who sits in the box if the players aren't in it mentally and the effort isn't there, 90% of what went wrong yesterday lies between the ears of the players.

I think we need to have a serious look at our forward set up, they're just bombing away, i am certain we'll be a three goal at least better team the moment we stop that and start lowering our eyes, our forwards leading occasionally would help, the only time Hogan seems to lead is when he see's Watts get the ball.

Anyone else get the sense we will be talking about this down the track a few years when a few of these blokes are diagnosed with Cancer or something and it's all proven to be on the back of this? it's a sickening situation all round, and extremely dissapointing the amount of public sympathy this club is getting.

I don't think today was a reflection of much more than one side desperate to win to prove the footy world wrong and a side who has had this penciled in as a win for weeks and thought it would just happen, like it did against the Giants, we don't have the talent to bring any less then 110% effort every week if we want to win 8 plus games this year, we didn't bring the effort and we got taught a lesson by a side who wanted it more, yes the umpiring was rubbish but the team and a heap of individuals are just not working hard enough at the moment.

Got a big test next week, and i fully expect a much improved performance, if we play like we did today, we will get smashed by 100 plus

Out: Kent iN: ANB i reckon the team got a bit pig headed today and it as dissapointing as it is we are still 4-1 so far, worth giving them a chance to make up for it. Kent needs to be shown an effort like today won't be tolerated from a player with his talent

I do think match day Goodwin is a better coach and the team would get more benefit from a setup like the NAB cup, Roos overseeing rather then calling the shots

I'd bring in ANB, STRETCH and Dunn

I rate Dom, yes he is making some silly mistakes, but he's certainly not alone there, but at least he's getting the ball.

I don't like to make this excuse, and it certainly doesn't excuse how bad we were but the umpiring was complaint worthy, it was clearly bias, and the difference in my opinion

What the heck is going on with Jesse Hogan? lazy, sooky, not leading, he is not even close to the player he was last year.

I dare say there will be some changes for next week.

[censored] it's hard supporting this club..

The players should be embarrassed, this is a team that thinks it can play finals.. can't beat a [censored] VFL side.

dark dark day for the club if we can't get up.

Jesse!

thanks for the positive updates.

Welcome to the game, mr Watts

CLARRY YOU [censored] LEGEND!

The police have just rolled up and told me it's a crime to be drunk and naked on the front lawn watching the Dees lose, what a joke..

would be a huge call but i reckon Jesse needs a spell at Casey to find some form
