No team spirit in this mob.
No heart.
No hope.

No hope.

to be fair, Hardwick did say pre-season that it wasn't about hope anymore. He was right  :lol

Past the point of caring personally...

But next week being women's week I expect a big effort from our girls

Im still with Hardwick  but what concerns me is the lack of fight in the senior guys led by captain courageous.

Jack has showed something but seriously when is the RFC going to understand that we wont go anywhere with leighweights.

You have got Thursfield who has been in the business for years and is being showed up for the leightweight that he is.

who the stuff is is our weights person and why the hell are they still in a job. seriously enough is enough already.

Watching Collingwood/Carlton both sides ability to stand in tackles and deliver a handball is fantastic.

i have respect for any team who has players who gang tackle especially in their forward 50. Davis and Didak are gems at it. Betts great too. Who teaches them to tackle????????????????????

we cannot be serious with skinny midgets, we just cant. Its bordering on ridiculous. Its okay to have 1 or 2 but we have about 12 and then on top of that we have players like Thursfield who is a toothpick out there. :banghead :banghead

3 years ago i asked Miller about Will T and his response "well he is only young give him time he will get bigger"

Well you know what thats fu.ckin bull poo look at the Eagles and other clubs. They dont seem a problem with first year lightweights

we cant be serious holding this skinny fantasy island lineup. we need to find our own Pods

Shouldn't need to be taught how to tackle, its more about the desire than technique...

But light players are easily stepped through.

Tackles need to stick. Last night Essendon destroyed Hawthorn by its tackling even Rioli was casught holding the ball. Unless tackling is improved we will struggle for a very long time. There are very few good tacklers in our side. The imbalance needs to be addressed

We've only had one for about 6 months, takes a lot longer than that to transform a young body

Maybe there is no desire from the club itself.

Melbourne Storm were teaching us to tackle once upon a time.
Yet on game day all we did was carall the opposition.
Need to get physical and if it starts with tackles then that has to be it.

No he's just a part time boxing coach
Matt Hornsby has been the conditioning coach for far too long now, needs to be fired and sued for being a fraud
We only just got a full time weights coach for the first time this year

Vickerys dad is the boxing coach.
Remember before one game a few years back that Ray Hall broke his nose before the game.

We aint got balls and we havent got heart.
Too many players run around in circles and flap there arms

Well, you can always stuff some socks down your pants Jack, as for the heart, I spose you could follow the yellow brick road and see the wizard bout that.

All comes down to a simple fact confidence in yourself and your team mates. We haven't had any since 2001.

You can have all the draft picks and all the money and all the talent and the best game plab in the world but if your not confident in your and your team mates ability and form; Your simply nothing.

Lack of Confidence is a cancer in any sport.

Fix the confidence of the playing group and your 1 step towards succeeding.
