Can't build a premiership side around a 30+ year old.

Hill's benefit is his mentorship and on field coaching.

Hope is not a strategy. We need change in action to turn this bus around.

Not in the same fake universe as each other.

Voice of reason, thanks.

Adds an offensive side to his game when Howard is there and he can trust him to defend. When Cordy is FB then he needs to play more defensively.

Might just be chemistry but the difference at the start of this year was very visible.

Feels like I'm a broken record but Wilkie plays AA standard with Howard in the team, and a fringe player with Cordy.

It's a bit of the chicken or egg scenario with Sharman. He's been no good up forward so we've moved him up the ground to work defensively, so he's been no good up forward. IMO his best work this year has been behind the ball. Expected to step up when King was absent (3 games this year) and didn't. T...

The 'reasoning' for the list going backwards this year was partially explained. Last year was "have our best crack with what we've got, see what our ceiling is". This is year is "play the way we want to win our next premiership, even if we don't have the skill level for it. Prioritise...

Does Allison get a game ahead of Sharman on that effort?

You'd think we want to give him a chance this season to earn himself a contract extension.

Hotton in a similar boat.

If it's a hard rebuid then we must delist players like Membrey, Ross, Cordy, Webster and Jones at years end.

Devils Advocate again Maybe we win 2-3 more games for the year. Worst case scenario sees us finish 16th. More probable is 15th. Yes...that gets us pick 4 or pick 5...but Instead of the talk about who St Kilda might bring in, could our poor performances herald an exodus of our best players? Suppose ...

Winning fixes everything.

The same list didn't have these talent issues sitting top 4 last year.

Building a premiership side is often like turning the titanic, but poor Ross seems to be steering it towards a bigger iceberg.

I'm more worried about an inept performance than a token temporary name change. It's along the same lines as those precious about jumpers. Prison bars anyone?

I'll back the coach until he's not the coach anymore, but something is starting to smell a little off.

So...which is it? Lyon was shithouse last year but the players were good enough OR Lyon was the reason last year Great post. The chat at the start of the year was 'How can this side possibly go backwards?': Steele is fit 2nd, 3rd year players have another 22 games of experience No players in the 29...

yes

So send all the coaches home and save some money for the club, pay off the debt.

5 Marshall
4 Owens

That's it.

Welcome back - at least now it's warranted.

We are either useless or tanking. Which is it?
