        It's a group-wide malaise
        We also miss the cracking in foundations that BMac gave the young players.

        We were losing, but BMac (along with Boyd and Morris) made sure they gave a shit.

        These guys don't seem to care.

          Well at least we only had to sit through 7 rounds of garbage football before we knew the season was done.

          So long 2024. Thanks for not wasting anymore of my time.

            When we hit the front , and the ball went fwd , the first player tonight was Hawks player. I kind thought , our players dont want it enough.

            JUH body language has been poor. He needs to work into space more and stop running into other forwards.

              In the last quarter how many important 50/50 balls or stoppage clearances or important ground balls did we lose and lose really badly?

              That was the game. We got beaten and they were either out the front of the stoppage in space or we lose a really bad 50/50 like Sicily/Buku on the wing. Also, whenever a ball got somewhere into space we were outnumbered.

              What a mess.

                          I was at the ground and I lost count.

                          How many times did a butchered, horrific kick coming out of our D50 directly cost us a goal?

                          Two in the third. JJ to English in the last. Jones bad decision in the last.

                          Not coming out of D50 but the Charlie Clarke grabber on the wing resulted in another direct goal.

                          How many others? We gifted them goals. You can?t be competitive against anyone doing that.

                            At 3 quarter time we had given up 46 points from turnovers. Definitely added to that in the last quarter.

                              Without looking at the stats, we gave up more in the last quarter.

                              We could not force turnovers or make Hawthorn even down the line coming out of D50. How classy were they coming out of D50?

                              That?s surely game plan. We allow the second worst team in the comp to basically walk the ball out. Get behind us into space how many times?

                                We really need to take some lessons from Collingwood. They were close to rock bottom, a laughing stock for their list mismanagement, the racism issues etc yet they were able to completely turn it around and quickly. The time for inaction has passed, the entire club needs to be shaken up and new blood needs to come in and take over.
                                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
