Coaching. very evident that they have engrained a mentality within the playing group that if they simply wait their turn in the AFL queue, they will get a crack at glory. UTTER BS

This list was just out of the top 4 last year. They have the capacity to be at that level.

In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

The fish rots at the head. Coaching has been downhill.
Dimma seems more happy appeasing media when he does it than until Friday finally admitting he has a problem that is more serious than he wanted to lead on due to marketing memberships.
Its all an ever choking spiral.

Ive chosen the first option: though I didnt like the way it was worded
IMV, the buck has to stop with the coach, players letting us down week after week like vickery, grigg, shed, houli dont have to be picked each and every week by the coach. In a perfect world players in the reserves have to step up and play like they want to be promoted but ffs if we have so many poor players like those mentioned, drop them and promote the next best available. (Youth)
Absence of cambpo, leppa I would imagine would hurt us. Regardless of how those on here viewed them I think it has made a differenceto us possibly in game day preparation preparation, and aslo assisting dimma.
Does anyone else think this would impact us? When you lose ppl in the workplace they force you to absorb the workload without replacing the ppl, this would be same scenario yes/no?
Fwd line coach Mark Williams, wtf is he doing? Fwd has been a joke last 3 seasons (well more so than before)

The players are all playing poorly, is it they have a problem with the coach, the game plan or the non contributers that get picked every week. That is the question I would be asking......

The anywhere, anytime Tigers.

Was on the bench on Friday night.  Didn't help much.....
I really think it's playing personnel.  We haven't had many injuries over the last few years and so haven't had to put much time into developing kids like O'Hanlon, MacKintosh, MacDonough etc etc in the seniors.  Suddenly we have had key personnel injured or out of form and we cannot use any of these guys.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

I picked option one because I don't feel that we currently have a Plan B. I think the game plan has been nullified over the last few weeks with teams creating scums around the contest and then manning up on our outside/switch players. As a result the players have lost confidence and are now uncertain what to do. Its fine to say that we need to work harder but when the other team is working equally hard and we can not find a way through we need to find alternative actions. I think the coaches will get there and the team will grow as a result but unless we can win 2 of the next three, I think finals is a very optimistic goal this year. Basically we have been jumped early by a new style of football which naturally opposes our style and the type of players we have.

We're not alone though

Real depth is the reason.

Unable to cover the loss of lids rance and Maric.

It's worth mentioning also, the inability to adapt to structural changes.
I put it down to  immaturity as men.
