Missing a lot of shots. I hope we don't fizzle away now.

Murphy on Milne? If we actually want to win the game surely we have to get him dangerous. Get Picken on him one less poor user around the footy that way.

The Liam Jones situation is frustrating in terms of him killing it at VFL level and then not getting near it at AFL level

There is being tough and there is being stupid. Cross needs to sit out the rest of the game, he is cactus!

Minson got injured soon after so that's why it took so long.

Kicking 3 goals in the VFL is killing it? He is scared of the footy, simply does not want the ball in his space.

Killing it was probably incorrect terminology but you know what I mean.

We can't move the football. Watching us play from the defence is like watching 22 Farren Rays. I hate this.

We have f all reward for our effort today and it's killing us.

One miserable goal that quarter.

My biggest frustration this year is Griffen. This guy has so much talent yet he has struggled from about round 6. He maybe getting tagged but too bad, he is better than that.

We are one of the worst sides in moving it forward which 3 years we were really good at it and 3 years ago we were one of the quickest teams. How times change. This is a poor period for our club and hopefully from here it's upwards for us.

Jones will never prosper under this game style.
We also put Williams into the same role he was doing in the past.

Williams should be at CHB where he belongs. The delivery to Jones is so poor and yes Chops the style of play and the game plan does not help him one bit.

It's great to have effort, but it's all for naught if there doesn't seem to be a viable plan to go with it.
I can accept us rebuilding, I can accept losses. But I would hope to along the way see glimpses of a methodology for how we are going to play in the future. Things such as occasional signs of how we would like to move the ball from defense to offense, or how we would like to bring the ball into our forward line.
I just can't see any of it. At the moment in defense, we stop, switch play, then stop, switch again......and then either turn it over whilst doing this or we just eventually bang it down the line where the opposition has had time to set up. If we're going to eventually bang it downfield, surely we're better off doing it straight away before the opposition have significant numbers to defend.
And similarly delivering the ball inside 50 is just excruciating to watch, no system, no thought, no hope.
I can't remember a side in recent memory as inept in play or as bereft of skill as us right now, perhaps not since the dying days of Fitzroy.
