He has not got the courage required to make the hard and the right call on Newman and in the end, it might just be his downfall as coach.

Where were you newman and Chaplin?

Just happy to run out, have a bit of a go at times, collect paychecks.

Neither will be hurting that much tonight. Only in a superficial way

The only leader that stood up in the first half was capitano.

Agree with you re Chaplin & Newman

But to see your captain, your leader weave through traffic and 35-40 metres out and then instead of having a shot he tries a dink pass that goes over someone's head  :banghead :banghead sorry but that ain't leadership.


Again our lack of leadership in the first half was deplorable

I suppose when you get as much possession as Cotch in heavy traffic it is easy to focus on one bad example

It didn't go over someones head, it was cut off. Would have hit Jackson on the tit had it not been spoiled. Poor decision but doesn't have anything to do with his leadership.

Trent is a great leader for our club. Our best player and one of the leagues finest. A fearless warrior

Very harsh WP, can't agree at all. He can walk off with his head held high.  No one is a machine,  everyone commits errors its what they brought overall and overall he was far and away our best

Still believe that out of all the most experienced players in all teams ours have the least influence in a game when the chips are down. Harvey last week single handedly pulled the Roos over the line against the dogs, if Cotch isn't busting a gut who else is there, Newman has so little influence in games its ridiculous, Edwards just sits back and has the occasional cameo. I think they need to have a good hard look at themselves and ask whether they deserve to really be there.

Yep, ridiculous. Some people really need to get a stuffing clue. Would've lost by 12 goals had he not been there. Expected to do everything on his own.

Wasn't going to mention it but after that display WGAF.
Was out last Saturday night and walked into The Bridge Hotel to see half our side drinking. I left near on 2am and most were still there having a half decent crack. Now I'm no prude and played a lot of local footy and going out Saturday night with the boys was pretty standard, but it wasn't AFL footy and after that poo last week against the Blues I wouldn't think you would  have much to celebrate. I know we won but it left more like a lose. And after our farcical first half today I cannot help but think most of our side are selfish heros that think they are better than they really are.
I couldn't get there today, I had my little one for the afternoon but I'm glad I didn't waste my time.
This side needs a fresh attitude and some fresh faces, this current 22 have got us about as far as it's going to. Be a man Dimma and drop some of your favourites. We need an injection of youth who want to chase and tackle. I would rather watch us loose with some young kids who maybe are not quite there yet then watch lazy, one way runners that refuse to get involved in the contest.
