Coach"s fault!!!!! Goldcoast clearance to an open forward line. Don't blame the players. I believe the coach has no idea come game day!


Totally agree with this our box got it wrong 3 minutes to go lock the game up.

We made some costly errors in the last few minutes.Maric stuffed up when Cotch broke free and Graham is useless.

Why should we pay money to a Club that is never going to make it in a system that doesn't want it to. Gale made a terrible strategic decision to sell home games interstate. He also requested a horror fixture.....and the AFL has effectively barred us from the draft for over two seasons and free agency is designed so that established clubs get raided. I have taken the time to email the club to give them my opinion and requested that they not ring me or my family or send any further correspondence. As I stated earlier, we will only buy memberships in future if/when we are entrenched in the eight....sadly that will never happen in my lifetime.

So does MENTALLY WEAK....ring a bell now, does it, come on and you all had a shot at me and listen to the way you lot that had a go at me are carrying on....weak as the Tigers performance some of you!!!!

No you dick, did you even watch the game? As its been pointed out in 100 other posts the half a dozen Coburg fools let us down today. That was the difference.

No Ivan Maric, Martin, Jackson, Griffiths, Foley, Grimes,Jake King,Vickery,Matt White to choose from.

When our depth with guys like Graham, Addam Maric, Derickx, Webberley, and add lokes who didn't play tonight like Miller, then of course you are going to struggle.

Whilst there are issues with the list and the loss not only hurts but kills and the wounds from tonight will render fatal our season 2012 this just shows that we need to get depth players to the club and that we cannot any longer rely on these Graham, Webberley's, A Maric calibre of blokes to come in and do a job because time and time again they have failed.

Whilst it is also a psychological thing where we play better against better sides we need to find a formula to play well in all games regardless of the opposition and possibly the drafting of more consistent tier players may be that missing link that has been exposed so horribly in the last month.

Unfortunantely the Walla$$ era decimated our list so much that 3 years later the journey we are on is still so far away. Whilst the 8 with alot of things going right in a season is achievable all it does is cover the cracks. We still need one possibly two clean outs to get rid of or upgrade 10-15 players and then hope that at least half of those 15 drafted or recruited make it or impact the club in lets say an Ivan Maric type of way to say that we not only are making the 8 but we are impacting into the top 4.

lol at all the angst. what did people expect.
just goes to show the lack of depth quality and experience. club should have been in full on development mode just like last yr maybe that would have meant we lost by more  today.

have to say though this loss is disappointing in the extreme. not because of who it was but  because it will have a lot of people questioning over all improvement. we have improved when fit and healthy.
it also goes without saying the list is not good enough injuries/suspensions  or not to lose this game.
the game itself well i wont go there because i might get myself banned.

in saying all that  we have improved but critical areas of age experience quality and the biggie depth have finally bitten us on the arse.
this yr was always the case of still having a long way to go and we are very much in early development.
in fairness to them in charge sometimes it is a fine line between development and competitiveness that is the only reason why some players get games.

if people understand where the list is at and the kpis that dictate where you are at then yes people will be disappointed with todays loss given the circumstances but in reality its no reason to slash your wrists todays loss was always on the cards when you look at the kpis.

heres an idea
moloney who wants out of melbourne, chaplin who we are after would add critical depth in two key areas.  moloney we could get cheap psd, chaplin free agency.
use our first 4 picks on kids chase two or three of  the best performed state league players.  plus a mix of rookies.
