Tambling back to his usual standard. BAD.
What a bloody dissappointment this is.
I have turned off the tele and about to do weeding which I would do with our team next week.
I can't sit there to watch the bad ball delivery time after time.
We have to go back to basic's as what we are doing now isn't working.
P, poor for a team that is supposed to be making it to the finals this year.
Could this sould the bells for Terry also.

BLOODY PATHETIC

[Lozza]

Could this sound the bells for Terry also.

Certainly think without doubt this is the end of TW, he has openly said that the RFC and himself be judged on the next four weeks, that was before today's abysmal performance. Sadly the squad that TW has assembled is just not well enough equipped skill wise to cope with defensive zone setups. Unfortunately it pains me to say it but its all about rebuilding yet again, any player who cannot hit a target from 20 metres (including those big white tall things called goal posts) should be shown the door, we just cannot carry these players any longer.

I can live with the fact that we are 0-3 as it was always going to be tough start however its the way we have played that really worries me.Only two good quarters out of twelve it appears we have gone backwards over summer.Our skill level and decison making is pathetic and we look unfit.
Deledio and Foley have been big disappointments for me...Time for them to start leading the way and impose themselves on games.
It is a huge embarrasment to our club that old man Richo is still the best player at the club...daylight second.
What is so evident over the first 3 rounds is the difference between our best and worse footy is still massive.

I am more gutted after this than I was after round 1 - insipid efforts all round

Can only think of 8 players who really gave a yelp today, you know the ones when you thinkthey gave everything - Richo (of course), Polo, McGuane, Moore, Tuck, Foley, Rance and White (just)

In this day and age you cannot afford to have blokes who turn it over coming out of the back half like Jake King does. For all his effort no team can afford to carry that sort of player. Jake gave them (minimum) 3 direct goals today

Speaking of giving (I prefer to call it gifting) the opposition direct goals - take a bow our Captain  I know I said I'd wait until at least round 5 but based on today he doesn't deserve to spared. Crucial turnovers at crucial times. He gifted the doggies 2 goals did Newy.

Mitch Morton is paid to kick goals. Shanking shots from 25 mtrs out is a disgrace. He barely looked interested today a case of "the Cleve's" perhaps

Simmo....hmmmm..... move it quickly 

Kudos to young Alex Rance he is desperate, he is quick and he has reasonable skills. He must paly the rest of the year no matter what

[Ramps]

Rance could be a fantastic player playing of the Wing.

[WilliamPowell]

Rance could be a fantastic player playing of the Wing.

Actually I liked him at CHF today - really gave us a good target

But yeah as a winger that'll work too

Can we clone him 

[Hellenic Tiger]

Disgraceful today.


Please firstly. Drop Tambling the kid obviously has no confidence and is struggling at this level. Promote either Collins or Thompson.

Give Angus Graham first ruck next week and have Simmo coming off the bench at the 20 min mark. Why? So we can insult this guy to get out of his laziness and lack of intencity. He has a black belt handles dangerous snakes and plays footy like a pansy. That's the truth on this bloke.

Morton although lazy and missed set shots was not alone.

N Brown has not won a hard ball in ages possibly before he broke his leg. An effort in the 2nd quarter where he waited for the ball only for the Dogs to intercept and it ended up to Higgins was abonibal. If he is a detriment then we really should be questioning his selection.

Bowden is another who should be dropped. The game and its pace has passed him. Please don't remind me of last years feats. Right place right time. Most on this forum would have done what he did if we were in the same scenario.

I feel more gutted today than Carlton two weeks ago.
I feel inclined to want us to win by 10-20 points next week rather than flog Melbourne by 10 goals plus. Why? A struggling unconvincing win would let all know where we are as if we don't know anyway. A huge win would be akin to a kick in the teeth as to why we could not replicate that intencity in te first 3 weeks. Sadistic as this seems part of me also wants Melbourne to win next week merely to close the book on Terry and allow us to begin the new chapter of this fractured 27 year history of this once proud footy club. It would end all speculation and innuendo and at least even at 0-4 we could still salvage something from the season from a win loss ratio perspective and not scar kids like Collins Cotchin and Rance with our losing culture that seems to be getting more and more amazing. It could either lead us to the draft with another bottom 2 finish and building for 2010 at least we will know.
