    Dumb, dumb set up
    Absolutely. This is a major flaw in how we play. If Lobb can lead with a 6ft 9 frame surely our forwards can at least lead.

    Every time we even gave a whimper the crowd at Marvel were fantastic with their support. Members played their role today. That performance ain’t going to help our membership for next year, so many disappointed fans at the ground today.

    But didn't we look great in our retro outfits today?

    I'm appalled and angry that we dished up such an appalling performance in the most important game of the year. It's heartbreaking to witness.

    Our skills were so poor and our best players were just as much to blame as the lesser lights.

    Every time there was a clutch moment - WE FAILED TO DELIVER!!

    They gave us a sniff late in the 3rd by missing two simple set shots. That didn't mean a thing to our blokes.

    I am absolutely gutted. My faith in this playing group has bottomed out. I just don't care any more. Season over.

    We need to change things up. Bevo will always be a club legend but time has come.8 years in the one role is a great effort but time for a change.

    Look at what Collingwood have done. GF in 2019 and quickly back in the top 4.

    New ideas and the side is rejuvenated.

    The season has been over for a long time. Injuries covered over the cracks and were used as the reason why we were not winning games.

    The unwillingness of our players to get on their bikes and provide each way running was evident.

    If Freo went quickly they got goal side and broke us open, if they went slowly they got loose for uncontested marks. That's a massive failing of the core group of player playing between the arcs and speaks directly to their effort and care for each other. Put those things together with the selfishness on display at different times and it was nothing but disappointing.

    Just looking at (AFL) efficiency stats. Dogs 73.1% (season ave 74.9%) Dockers 82.5% (ave 75.4%).
    To me it means lack of pressure but MC may argue it is a consequence of our game plan - the perfect excuse to the players not to worry or care!

    All the buzz about the club this week seemed to be about how amazing we were going to look in our retro kits, and Darcy making his debut. Perhaps I'm not paying attention or am paying attention to the wrong things, but I didn't hear much about how we're geared up for a massive crack at keeping our season alive and doing everything we can do to make it so.

    Yep, I'm angry and borderline irrational.......well probably over the borderline, but it just seemed again like we weren't focused and I'm blaming the retro outfits because that's what a borderline or genuinely irrational person would do!

    I'm reduced to trying to decide who I"m going to barrack for in the finals. I wish it wasn't so.
