We went 5-0 at the start of the year - surprised everyone- were incredibly fit - and were under estimated

After that to now

We are 11W 19L

Marshall Like all of our best players, is not the problem It’s the ones who are poor that is hurting us Your best players can’t do more than play well, it’s the players who aren’t playing well that is the problem Paddy Ryder actually caused Marshall to be more ineffective Marshall is a C Grade Forwa...

Players can still play well in losses

We did not get beaten by 20-30 goals

How are you judging leadership

Team Performance?

Is a state league player going to necessarily fill an immediate need?

Josh Battle is 193
Is 2cm going to make that much difference?
Cal Wilkie is only 191 - plays tall

It was Seb Ross Now it’s Jack Steele Who is regarded as the best two way mid in the game - yes there is offence and defence Steele gives 100% every week. He is a dual AA and has finished on the podium at least 5 times in the B&F This year he’ll win his third He leads by example Which is the ONLY...

Playing every week in the VFL is something you do if you are not ready to play AFL and you are acclimatising to senior footy (he is 65kg and straight from WAFL colts) His game vs BH was awful- and he got rewarded with AFL selection He cost his team the game, he was in tears after the game, his confi...

Our leaders aren’t the problem

They are all doing well

Our game plan is flawed

Our midfield is lacking

Our forward line is dysfunctional (due to our ball movement)

How big do they have to be?

Josh Battle?!

How’d he earn his spot last year

As a general forward he averaged 4 kicks and Hal a goal per game?

Get real man!!!

6 kicks
10 handballs

As a full time mid in the VFL

He cannot find the ball in transition- he only gets a possession at stoppage.

He is so down on confidence- he is running in wet concrete and in circles

I hate how we are playing

Does that make me a hater?

Yep

Grammar is what we need to focus on?

While the reason we are here, the footy team, is playing putrid football.

But yeah, worry about commas and apostrophes!!!

This is a footy fan forum - seek out a literature forum

Rinse and repeat

We normally blame the best player for not being better

So I blame the captain
Jack Steele
For not being better!!!

Oh
And Robert Harvey

We’ve got where we’ve got by being cute on selection and gifting games

There is one rule in selection

Pick the best players

At the start of the season (honestly!)

Did you have us 3-8 sitting 15th on the ladder?!

What the hell is a utility?

Is it 1975 and Marshall is on a Scanlons Footy Card

He is 201cm ruckman

Gawn is a 208cm AFL superstar

I saw 1 quarter

He was on Kosi Pickett for 5 mins and Webster on Van Rooyen

He was embarrassing- couldn’t even jog

Acres is better than Hill
