Ted Lasso

Was really good to see him lay a couple of big bumps!

It's abit of a worry isn't it, Hope the big fella is okay.

Any chance at all of both clark and dawes being right to play?

We lack a genuine superstar to show the young players what's required, abit like gary ablett is at gold coast Otherwise the question becomes will Trengove, Grimes, Viney, Toumpas, Jones and co be good enough to win us a premiership Clark, hogan, and dawes will all be good targets for us, Byrnes and davey aren't going to be in our next top 4 side so we need quick crumming half forwards 3rd and most important is we need to resign james frawley if possible, the bloke does a really good job considering the pressure our lack of midfield puts him under. Sacking Neeld is tempting because we are going through a very hard patch but odds are it would lead to another untried coach, another period of transition and good chance another sacking. Watts i think needs to play Forward, he looked good there, he was drafted as a forward and it might be just what he needs to get his confidence up again

Peter jackson i think will be fantastic for us in this regard, pretty confident there will be a few personal changes and alot of people put on notice

The only knock i have on Trengove is that i'd like to see his 20 touches 10 tackle games become 30 touches, he kicks goals too which is always good for a mid, i think when he takes that step and gets a little more of the ball he will start to show how good he is really going to be. his zip will come when his fitness does and he fully shakes his injury

It's pretty hard to defend a coach who is happy with a five goal loss in a very winnable game, lets be honest here we should have gone very close if not won this game, and it's not unreasonable to think a developing side is going to beat another bottom six side

we need at least 1 quality mid, dale thomas would be great if we could get him.

Makes you wonder where this form was last year from moloney

which is amazing coming off basically no pre season and a stress fracture, i still think he needs another 2-3 weeks to get match fit and maybe longer for his foot to feel really good

Seriously.. average 10 tackles a game, top 5 in our disposals, captain of our club coming off a very serious injury, the drug claims on his shoulders only a 64 game player in a struggling side it's really unfair to even compare him to someone who goes into a side like that with protection of 5-6 200 plus game midfielders and a license to attack with no real expectations

Happy with Trengove all things considered i wouldn't consider his form an issue, happy with how we are going absolutely not because most of the team lacks the effort Trengove puts in.

Brisbane aren't that flash, we had an opportunity to win this game, 5 goal loss is not something you should accept in a winnable game, i don't care if it's played on the moon.

Today was his 64th game, he is coming off a very serious injury, clearly underdone and a massive off field distraction and those are the factors we know of. he has had what 17 touches 10 tackles i'd say that's acceptable the biggest problem is we expect him to play like a 164 game player, he isn't it's a big effort to be out there at all Not where i'd like him to be as a footballer either but to say he is deserving of the comments that are being made about him is insane.

I really hope watts plays forward the whole game next weekend, and clark is fit having said that good chance we will get smashed out of the middle again so either contain carltons small forwards or we could be in for a big loss

Been watching his press conferences mate? he has been strong and confident under alot of pressure and is really growing as a leader and he has had 10 tackles today ( indicates he works very hard when he doesn't have the ball ) to do that two weeks in a row coming off a stress fracture is very impressive, we had quite a few worse players than trennas today.

6 garland 5 byrnes 4 sylvia 3 trengove 2 watts 1 gawn

Williams would be the easiest of the above to get, is well known for developing young talent ( exactly what we need ) and would command the respect of the players Having said that we would need to have him signed before considering getting rid of Neeld

Plenty of issues their to work on but to put it simply centre clearances are not good enough, we won't win games of football getting smashed out of the middle our defensive zone is a joke, i saw at least 10 easy marks inside 50 and we really missed clark and dawes today ash mcgrath smashed us running out of half back far too easily

I thought he has been very impressive as captain off the field and he is getting plenty of tackles, the fact he is probably still very underdone and it was a fairly high tempo game it seemed like he ran out of legs we have much bigger issues than Trengove being captain

When you get smashed out of the middle it makes his job alot harder, can't blame him for being abit frustrated, if we want to improve it has to be done in the middle.

Clark and dawes would mean the defenders would need to show more respect, hope watts stays forward now

Still plenty of time, need the next goal though

Keep coming dees!

One big effort this quarter, win lose or draw just want to see some heart and fight
