Stuff me. Finished 13, get an easy draw and Pick 5.

4 dead rubbers. Need a big shake up, still have faith in where we are at but finishing 8 is pointless we are done.

Don't blame our backs, they in the most part won their duels or broke even. Forwards that don't get the ball or when they do kick point is where we should be looking. Just pathetic is the only way I can put it.

There’s something missing across the board .. to me it seems purely hunger for the contest and more importantly the win
Our skill level has gone from top 4 to bottom 4 this year. It's putrid. We've been off all year. It's cost us many games this season.

We've also fallen away twice in the last 10 mins in Perth this year. 20 points up against the Eagles and 9 against the Dockers. Thrown away two wins and 8 points that would've secured a finals spot. We've simply not been good enough. As we know from the past 4 years the side that goes the hardest longest wins and we've been found wanting too many times.

Geez, I'm ticked off! Can handle us being beaten when the other side is clearly better and we've delivered our best but to lose dishing up that skill-less brainless crap all night and to drop away in intensity when it mattered is pathetic!  :banghead

Agree thought we defended quite well.

Doesn't help with missed easy shots, crap entry into F50, kicking off ground sideways straight to opposition..
Go Tigers!

It ranks as the worst loss of the year. One positive is stack. That wasn’t a good game of football that was garbage that’s what it was. Chol Astbury short Ross honestly too many to mention.

How can Hardwick continue to play arts and George in the same team is a recipe for success. If he does then he may have to start considering a new club, as he has lost the plot.

Geroge and Aarts playing is embarrassing to say the least. Gathwaite = tries but not good enough at this level. Astbury please retire before your reputation is destroyed. Chol cant play at this level either. Play players in their best positions and results could change...maybe.
Its been a bad 5 weeks for the club but worse for the coaching staff.

Selection and coaching has been atrocious

Caddy would have offered more than the undynamic duo tonight

Agree re Astbury ...

Might have to take the decision out of some player's hands.

Tough calls but can be celebrated if done well. Champions but time has come.

Carbon copy of the suns game. Play like crap, can’t kick a goal to save our lives, have a good run for 10mins and manage to take the lead in the last only to then go back to playing garbage and lose.

Your can't tell me that Caddy is not a better footballer than Castagna or Aarts.  It's laughable and if we're Josh I'd tell Dimma to shove it and look elsewhere.

I think the game plan can work if players play their role. Playing someone out of form rarely works.
I note George at least got 15 possessions tonight.
