    3 things you have learned - RD 11 v Brisbane 2020

    We would all love to hear the 3 things you have learned from tonight's game against the impressive Brisbane Lions team

    If they can be 3 new things, that would be even better

    We are a talented, capable side hamstrung by:

    1 A stubborn coach.
    2 piss weak yes men around him.
    3 Enamoured administrators too weak to pull the trigger.

    Don't hold back mate.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I'm upset. But it's been clear as day to me for a long time and despite wishing I didn't think this way, there's nothing left to learn. We know the good, the bad and in between. It's going nowhere. We are wasting time.

    1. We're just not up to it and we have to accept it. Next year we'll be better but a number of factors have conspired against us this season.

    2. Vanders is a very good footballer.

    1. Wood and JJ are putrid at the moment. Absolute rubbish.

    1. The MC should be at Centrelink on Monday applying for Job SEEKER, we have royally screwed premiership windows since 2016.
    2. Bevo's / coaching staff are running out of credits, we are not being coached to play accountable football.
    3. Macrae is an out and out champion.

    3. Josh Bruce is resembling Edward scissorhands . Better in the second half
    2. We’ve gone backwards . No execuses
    1. Every time we get beat at the contest and source our backs are virtually a thouroughfare

    1. Vanda is a beauty. So much to work with here, I know we've played him as a HFF primarily but I hope we persist with him on the wing. Raw pace, attacks it hard, cares about winning/hates losing and plays positive. Only going to get better - he's the shining light of 2020.

    2. The crowd at Brisbane looked half cut. Better times in QLD than Vic!

    3. We're kind of in no man's land. Teams have gone past us, we've gone backwards, our leadership on field is lacking and I also think it's lacking off it. Not really sure 'where to' from here. Moreover, we see the same issues that we did in 2017 and nothing has changed so why would it change for 2021? All I know is our list is unbalanced.

    1. Hipwood kicked 5, Gardner had 5 touches. Not blaming Gardner here, I'm blaming the coach for not making a move. Shit Naughton was quiet all game why not put him on Hipwood. Oh yeah Bevo doesn't like players to play in multiple positions...wait....what?

    2. Teams who kick the ball are better than teams who handball the ball

    3. We need to change our game plan, game structure, game systems or whatever you want to call it because opp teams know how to beat us

    1. Macrae can kick goals if we give him the ball in the right spots.
    2. Our midfield is struggling. Our talisman Marcus just isn't having the same impact he usually does. Macrae and Libba aside where is the drive coming from.
    3. Maybe after one outstanding game we pin too much expectation on a developing Naughton.

    1. Our centre square work is totally broken, when do we ever come out clean looking dangerous? We often get our hands to it and then end up coming out sideways/backwards often losing our feet and giving up the advantage we had fleetingly.

    2. Pressure/Accountability/Tackling - I was amazed at how many times our players just stood there flat footed without having any impact on the contest when the heat came on. We absolutely avoid contact at any cost its an indictment on the entire playing group.

    3. I was going to end on a negative but I have to highlight Macrae. Started the season slow but his last few weeks have been sensational.

    I'm glad you mentioned Bont he has had a bloody poor year. Its hard to say it because he has been so good for us, but he has gone missing in the key moments this year.

    Macrae - champion. Our best player currently.

    Vanders - looks like he will be great in 3 years

    Wood - the end is near?

    1. Our midfield, on paper look great, but despite Macrae's 40 touches and Bont's 30, as a group they were torched at the source, and especially in the 2nd qtr they gave up goals.

    2. Richards has gone backward at an alarming rate. His kicking in particular really hurts us.
    3. Wally, we could focus on what his limitations are, but his strengths are exactly what we need more of up forward. He fights, he works hard and he converts his chances.
