Can call tonight a job interview

If we keep kicking the ball up to Andrews then thanks but no thanks find a way around him and we will give you a second interview
 
Think tonight actually shows a few flaws. We’ve known for a while teams struggle off the bye, so what did we do to prepare for tonight as a starting point?

Plus the coaching needed to react to an onslaught has been missing. I’m struggling to see any difference at all to the starting set up aside Short going off injured. Surely Ryan could be given extended run in the ruck.

Midfield just horrendous - Hopper underdone, Taranto tagged out of it & Cotchin battling. Why not play Bolton through the midfield for the whole second half? Or throw Ross or Pickett into the middle?

Don’t think tonight will cost him the job, but still haven’t changed my mind on new coaching crew and new ideas.
What will cost him the job is how the team responds 2nd half and next week.

Have to throw the magnets around. Can’t let this continue or he will coach himself out of contention. Simple as that.

I wanted to see the reaction after the bye against a quality side not great.

It's not always best to promote from within. Just look at Luke Meehan. I hope Benny and co are looking far and wide for the best coach.

Not fussed if Mini gets the gig or not , one bad performance shouldn’t make the decision final, he’s got another 2 months , in saying that there’s potentially plenty of great candidates.

What I do want to see is Ryan, Cumberland, Clarke continue to play , Graham to go back into the middle , Banks to get senior footy on the wing . Miller and Ross to go back to the VFL , ive seen enough , both not up to it imho . Bradke, Bauer I don’t really care , let’s have a look at another kid up forward .

Forgetting the Pickett saga, how long since he’s played a decent AFL game in any position.

I think will bounce back at the G next week , love to see Banks and Brown debut

Not sure there was anything he could do. Move the under-performing players around? Unlikely to make a difference.
