I am genuinely concerned with our club right now. This is lower than any 2013 or 14 performances. Is Bevos role under question?

Unpopular opinion but the sooner this Ballarat "home" games finish the better. We still would have been belted but at least we may have seen a few more goals before the half time snooze started.

The funny part is we had more scoring shots in the 3rd quarter than the first half, it was just 1.4 against 4.0

The only thing Bevo has lost is players to injury

You can’t keep blaming injury. This is a seriously uncompetitive performance that lacked fundamental skills, abilities, awareness and structure.

Yep. Injuries are part of explanation as to what's going on. The are not on their own the explanation. Something is very smelly right now.

It’s more than injuries...we aren’t competitive for majority of the game. Players are thrown all round. Players being picked over others for what reason ? I said something wasn’t right half way thru 2017 and nothing I’ve seen since has eased that feeling.

I agree that we have a HUGE injury list and we’d look better with a lot of them playing but to me that just softens the blow and papers over cracks. I keep saying it but I am concerned. Something is going on behind the scenes surely

The fact is that right now we have the worst list in the AFL, and it is not close. Feels a lot like 1996.

Yeah spot on. Look at the pies, their injury list is bigger than ours an they are competing for top 4. The injury excuse is valid but 8-10 goal loses week after week you have to start asking questions.

Dare I say it... We can move up the drafting with the current draw

Because I am realistic unlike others. We played a side with KIDS, 11 less than 50 games and they had 8 with more than 150. Our average games were 71 to 122.

There are lots of players I wouldn't be playing right now, but we have little choice. There are only 27 players available for Bevo to pick from.

What is going on? I tell you what is going on, the players on the ground, at this moment are not good enough

Collingwood still have experience to bring in, they averaged 90 games on Saturday and had a pretty even spread from less than 50 to over 150
