If that is a reflection of the result, loris, we'd better get Boris back to where he belongs. Back to the right hand of RTB.

Banger has to bare much of the responsibility for our shambolic and under performing forward line. Considering his performance in the top job at Collingwood as well, I'm starting to worry that there may be better alternatives available for the job.

I guess when you look at some of our poor team statistics compared to the rest of the comp, the finger should be pointed straight at the senior coach

The way we play is strategic, the bombing to the spot 30 m out from goal is a part of the game plan.
Anyone who thinks this is not the plan has Ross coloured glasses on.
The head coach defines the strategy and the line coaches implement it.
You don't have the forward coach defining the forward strategy and a midfield coach defining the midfield strategy.

This is either on the Senior coach because it is his strategy and gameplan.
If however this bomb to 30m is not part of his gameplan then this is also on him as he is completely failing in communicating what he wants done.

I said it when everyone was criticising Ratten's game plan, and Richo before him...

No game plan can survive our skill level!

It's improved under Lyon, but was deplorable for the two coaches before him.
At times during Lyon's tenure, it's been terrible...
We started Friday with two terrible skill errors (under no pressure) that resulted in opposition goals. It didn't really improve after that.

You play to your strengths

So given the wailing re kicking to leading forwards, who are our “leading” forwards?

Membrey?

Caminiti?

Higgins?

Butler?

Because these are our established forwards

Noting King is our only established “tall forward”, Caminiti 196cm and played because he has height and in energetic

What forwards look for is to find some space - noting they have an opponent and they have defensive zones to negate

The club should target mini to come back next year.

I’d make Harves a development coach.
