      Re-signing or not the heat will come if we can't turn this one around.... Robbo on AFL 360 will turn the gas cooker on.

        Not the first time that teams drop players back and use it to rebound out like a trampoline. You would think with our problems up forward the coaches would man the player up as we are better one on one than letting a loss man back cut us to shreds.

        Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

          We are just so slow compared to them. We can't even win the clearances and once that happens we are doomed as their pace just kills us.

            Is Griffen getting much of it? We haven't had too many good games from him.

              We are snookered. We can't take a million of Peter only to pay most of that to a coach we boot. I think those complaining we don't get much press might hope for that time to come back. I agree, it could get ugly and there's nothing we can do because they players we are picking are not doing what they get payed for.

                As it should we really lokk like we have gone backwards.

                The good news is that we should be able to turn it around with a better second half from Higgo, Dhouse & Grant

                  11 touches, but most of them in close.. Not giving us the run & carry we need from him.

                    To those wanting an attractive open game style.....this is what it looks like. I prefer the boring lockdown approach.

                    Any chance the captain might lead from the front?
                    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                      So many players giving us very little.

                      Stevens, Wood, Dahlhaus, Howard, Grant, Crameri, Tutt, Hrovat, Higgins, etc.. You can't carry half your team and expect anything other than a poor performance.

                          Going at 33% according to Triple M. Not nearly good enough.

                            This is not attractive football.
