Chook, while there is no place for racism, which I abhor, already sent a message of support. Your question could be answered on here where I have been called in the last week, idiot, pig and delusional I myself got dragged into it unfortunately through frustration at the lack of action by the mods Social media and forums like this provide people the opportunity unrestrained to put what they like, behind a cloak of anonymity. Until there are real consequences it will continue Somebody in a thread called for supporter insurrection, may be the incorrect use of a word, but if somebody took it as verbatim

Bedford is one of the 12 in Melbourne

Watch the replay of Rankine's goals Harmes, side stepped for first goal, don't even think Nev was on the ground, Hibberd was his man even though Rankine dropped it and kicked off the ground for second, Langdon stood flat footed and allowed Rankine to shark the tap, Nev was in correct spot for tap set up, Rankine read it

I was disappointed in Lyon tonight, he commentated like he was hoping the Dees would lose

Langdon stood flat footed and let Rankine shark the tap Hibberd was on him when he did the soccer goal Rankine side stepped Harmes for his first goal Nev made one error on Rankine Please watch the game before writing off Nev The only disappointment for me tonight was Garry Lyon commentating like he wanted the Dees to lose

Bedford is still in Melbourne, didn't travel

Whoops

Jenkins was great for the Joe the Goose, out the back goal, when Tex, Eddue, Lynch were up and firing, he looked great, when it was demanded of him to be a different type of player, it showed his true worth Nah, just don't denigrate, was [censored] when Nev was dropped, same with Hibberd, but both needed to find a bit of form Tomlinson exactly the same, his form has dropped, noticeable in his ability to get back and defend Anyway back to Wright, still think the answer is no

And if Tyson didn't want to go to the Gold Coast, in hindsight he may have changed his mind Wright is not even a choice at Gold Coast which would inevitably lead, if we got him now, to a topic on here 'why do we always trade other clubs rejects' He reminds me of Josh Jenkins, all height and no action

Correct, but it is an area we can work on, everybody at the Club recognises this, Chaplin quote 'we are beating ourselves at the moment' unquote As I have stated before players can be coached and coached but you can't coach skill errors, poor decisions or a falling down of fundamentals The coaches must be as frustrated as everybody else, you pick players who are supposedly fit and in form, what you are looking for is consistency and cohesion in both individual players and team performance What's the answer if it is the same players making the same basic skill errors or not carrying out the fundamentals, one answer of course it is to drop them from the team and bring in new players, meaning you have to start again with the consistency and cohesion Do you stick with the same players and hope they turn the corner? Do you look at changing the game plan after the whole squad has been training it for months It is all so easy for any person who is not directly involved in an AFL team to analyse and say in my opinion this is the answer You don't see too many taking up the challenge, as have we seen from the vitriol displayed on this forum, being an AFL coach is a thankless task

We are actually averaging just over 12.5 points per qtr, 201 points for divided by 16 8 teams are averaging 15pts or less a quarter after 5 games With another 5 averaging around 16pts It's the state of the game If we can actually get the connection right, we are less than a goal a qtr behind 13 other teams

An opinion piece from a self appointed expert, with nothing new

3 since restart, but thank you for paying close attention, nothing like a bit of late night pedantry Anything to add to the topic or just a drive by

I have to be careful, only negative views of the Dees seem to pass the mods muster these days It is pointless exercise in my opinion to wallow in the past, I moved on to the Suns I participated in something with the Club the day after we were smashed by 140 odd points by the Bombers a few years ago Now that was an interesting day in the past Another interesting fact post that game, surprisingly nobody died

Yeah particularly 1905, I mean bottom again tsk tsk It is a forum to discuss footy,which has been hijacked by a small minority of perpetual whinegers and whiners, we've played 3 games, repeat 3, lost to West Coast under strange circumstances, beat Carlton, if Tomlinson had kicked straighter we may have beaten Geelong And unfortunately had too many players have an off day against Richmond Interestingly some of the poorer performers were players clamoured for on here in Rivers, can be excused, Pickett, can be excused, Lockhart, 2 games in a row and the midfield went handball happy I was disappointed with the performance, but move onto the next one

Let's start another topic, so we can whinge and whine How can you go.past 1905, I mean phew! Just bombing into the forward lins

Was disappointed with how we played today, but wouldn't dream of walking away from MY TEAM, but then again I've just checked and my Kahunas are still there

Of course he demands excellence, see his press conference, he is as [censored] off as the rest of us The execution and skills on display today were appalling, what's the the answer, keep changing the team? The players need to take responsibility, they train the skills week in week out, they need to use it them consistently week in week out Not sure which bit some on here don't get, you can't coach skill errors

Of course he demands better skills We are also looking for consistency Drop the players with poor skills Keep changing the team, where is the consistency On field leadership has gone backwards this year, interesting that Jones and Jetta are not there, form permitting of course It's always easy to blame the coaching staff when it is ultimately the players out there playing

The coach coaches then during the week, he sends them out at the weekend and watches them make appalling skill errors and decisions for AFL Standard players, knowing it will reflect on him, as it always does, rather than the the players who have practiced and practiced, but still make the same appalling errors

Why is it Goodwin's fault when every player bar m maybe Hibberd made a fundamental still error that sometimes resulted in a goal to the opposition

Why is it Goodwin's fault when every player bar maybe Hibberd made a fundamental skill error that sometimes resulted in a goal to the opposition

No, it was combination of errors forward of The ball, all good to blame the coach when Oliver gives a terrible ball

So that goal from Lynch was Goodwin's fault, right?

And Daniher, and Bailey and Neeld and Roos, it is like a broken record on here The players need to be made accountable
