Can’t win a clearance regardless of where Marshall hits it
Cooper keeps getting moved form one position to another. Pick one rtb and stick with it
Way too many handballs not enough kicks
Sinclair is Samson. Haircut ruined his form
Skill below afl standard
Bourbon way to expensive at marvel
Must be terrible to be there.

The list is ordinary- as it has been since 2011

And a dated coach and game plan

We go slow - at the wrong time
We go fast at the wrong time

Like I have been saying since Lyon returned...what magic trick does he have that can bring the required amount of talent to compete for a flag. You can be the best coach ever but with out talent you got nothing, I rate Lyon but it's so bloody hard in the AFL to procure talent but more so at a poor club like ours... Lyon doesn't have the magic wand.

44 turnovers in two quarters. But it’s the coach’s fault. Right.

I don't think it's our game plan.

Skills are way off the mark
Pressure is way off the mark

If you kick to opposition, let them break tackles and get space - that's on the players.

The problem now is that we need 12 goals to win the game.

Hold the players that continually turn it over accountable.

Simple.

A system and game plan that allows the opposition half back players to gather career high numbers ... ???

He selected the side
Prepared the side
Put the side in positions

It’s his game plan

So yes, he beats some responsibility

Ratten did
Richardson did

He’s no fkn different

All they talk about at training is coming forward to defend and press with the footy

It allows easy goals on turnover

So flawed?

Yes

I don’t care if they pick the Sandy waterboy! It’s about setting a standard.

Too many of our players run around knowing they’re untouchable.

The writing was in the wall a few minutes in. Turnover city.

Apparently we have a great draw at Marvel in the second half of the season because we play so well there. 🤦

Howard instead of Cordy.
More height, more mobility..

Someone really needs to tell Jack Higgins to keep his feet. In every contest he falls to the ground.

We’ve got 16 players guarding grass in the backline and they just hit up a player on the lead 😂
