Is it me or do we only seem to have half the numbers out on the park. Outnumbered at every contest and look like we are running through treacle and they can do no wrong. We are so far off it's not funny, not sure if it's preparation or attitude but vision behind the play is showing up a number of players which won't go unnoticed by the coaches.

Hardwick needs to remind them that you have to continue to work hard, we are the hunted again this year so need to cope with the additional pressure but not helping is that our skills over the last two weeks have been nothing short of abysmal.

Clarkson would have worked on this gameplan, media talk during the week questioning their tall backline, well we are just kicking it to them at every opportunity, dumb footy all around.

I still think we will come back a bit but the following players should be very nervous:
Stack
Pickett
Rioli
Castagna
Soldo
Ross

What about Jack? Absolutely pathetic  :thumbsdown

Can Ross lose the Banik look and stop playing like him too.

I'd take Macca Banik right now. He didn't shirk a contest and tackled

We are out numbered because our players are bludging.

Cotchin, Higgins, Vlastuin & Grimes the only blokes having a red hot go.... :shh

We know this group of players is good enough. The last few years have proven that. So what is going wrong ? Just effort ? Did we just get lucky being able to play soldo last year ? Was Pickett's GF game really just a one off ?

10 tackles for the half.
An indictment. It's a pathetic enough stat on its own let alone when we've been second to ball all night.

It starts in the middle. Soldo being smashed as are the mids. No run, not tackling, pathetic handballs and crap kick to a non existent forward line... :help

Who’s on Smith. Talk about unaccountable.

Agree.

Our whole back six was better in the second quarter. Only reason the scoreboard isn't even worse.

It may be harsh given what he went through to come back and he is having a go tonight but the knock on Higgo is he butchers the ball by foot.

Think we've gone overboard with just trying to tap it on

Also, the number of hanballs that have gone to bloke under pressure is staggering

Soldo you dopey git. You don't crash into Higgo backing back taking the mark and spoil him :facepalm.
