Jackson was sooooooo slow tonight. Slow leg speed, slow reaction times.

Plus I'm sick of him 9ironing the ball with every kick.

Goto Coburg Ginger schnap.

As i have commented before on this forum tired bodies leads to tired minds and when the chips are down the team just couldnt lift. Still dont understand why Lids wasnt moved into the middle sooner. Cotch and Martin will be great players but at the moment they are just not dominating the clearances like they will in years to come. Therefore we need others to stand up but we dont have much past them. Possession is gilt edged and to butcher it like we did tonight then we dont deserve to win. We still have a huge gulf between the skill level under pressure of the Tigers in comparison to the top 8 teams. Hardwick has a lot to do to weed out players that just cant perform under pressure. Until we remove these players then we are going to see games like the one tonight that should have been sealed in the third quarter.

Please no one use the old Richmond excuse of "we are only a young side and we ran out of legs", "we need to develop our own"..ra ra ra... Our team needs developed players during the trade period..end of story.

like Houli and Grigg?

No Thanks, they are as jack dyer would say- good ordinary players.

for us to improve we need better than Houli and Grigg.

What like Edwards and co..... ::)

Not happy. :banghead :banghead  We had this and then threw it away.  Heads need to seriously roll!

And could someone please tell me who Nason has to sleep with to get a game?  Surely he's better than some of the "players" that are in the team at the moment.  And could someone please spend all week with Grigg showing him how to kick for goal.
your answer to our problems is Nason?  Mate let me tell you something, Nason isn't the answer!  
Can't be any worse than what we've got at the moment.

No players could honestly say played for the full 4 quarters, all cameos with real influence from any one player non existent. Not sure whether its the travel we did in the last month but again we looked to run out of legs. The Bombers made us look slow after the Newman turning point of the third quarter. The delivery to our forward line was nothing short of atrocious and no wonder Jack has lost confidence. Not looking good for the rest of the season, wouldnt be surprised at all if we get knocked off by the GC next week as they are probably due another upset win.
Make no mistake, we will lose to GC!

The common theme when we lose is to promote players into the team who the following week after the next loss become the next head on the chopping block. I think its pretty clear for everyone to see that the players back at Coburg are not up to AFL standard at this point in time bar probably Tuck who for some reason has fallen out of favour. All we seem to do is continually rotate substandard players trying to come up with that magic formula that is suddenly going to turn our fortunes. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but its pretty plain for everyone one to see that the current list still needs a hell of a lot of further thinning. Unfortunately GWS are going to stand in the way of this happening too quickly. It looks like another 5 year plan coming up :banghead :banghead :banghead

2012 draft is a bumper crop, we should be doing everything in our power to gain some extra draft picks this year like Tambling last year and use them all in 2012.

Surely there's some way we can handball some of our duds to them using "more experienced than the 18yo's they'll be drafting" as a sugar-coat for some decent draft picks in return. Please GWS, show us that you're at least of some benefit to the competition by taking the likes of Edwards and Jackson off our hands!
Push up!
