Game Day Round 5 vs Crows

Until we properly address the glaring midfield issue, we’re wasting our time.

Prestia & Cotchin are all that we’ve had today. Ball use is just putrid.

Graham has been VFL

Nankervis - where is he at?

Mentioned it earlier this season - his ruck work is no good.

Very poor game by Tigers.
Slow and unskilled and poor discipline in tackles.
Looks like us in the early 2000s.
We have fallen a long way.
Lack of speed is the killer.
Baker must play back..not a forward.
Dow poor and Bolton poor.
Graham miles off.
Just too slow.
Will be a development year . Sonsie and Clarke should be playing . Maybe Brown too.
Not Parker Aarts or Ross.
Coaches are protecting themselves. Other sides play the draftees .
Not happy. Same as last year.

Yep. Two oldies. Dimma needs to wake up and stop living in the past. I'm getting worried about this.
 
This game clearly shows the hunger and desire to win another premiership is gone. We will get up on occasions but we dont want it enough anymore to bust a gut week in week out.
 
Our big problem is that we have too few natural ball winners around the contest. When we bring enormous heat we can get away with it but that is hard to do every week.

When we don’t we are plodders.

Too many flankers and not enough ball winners and we end up chasing tail.

Not getting enough run from Ralphsmith, Rioli, Bolton to name a few
Tarrant has been on Tex and now Himmelberg and been beaten by both

I have been impressed with Dow of late but is he scared? fumbly, not making the right decision.
 
We are showing the classic trait of an average team; inconsistency. We can get ourselves up for good performances, like last week, but we can’t sustain it week in week out.

This season has seen yo yo efforts from us and that is what an average team does. We are a long way past our glory years it seems.
Oh there's NO DOUBT of that and anyone who thinks or see's it differently is a total Brightsider with zero ability to see things for what they are.

The last 5 years have taken a huge toll on the older brigade and so it should've, the newer crop just aren't up to this standard by a long way, we've been gifted plenty to be happy about, so for those who are pissing & moaning about every little thing I suggest taking a break for maybe 3 or 4 years and then jumping back on the bandwagon when its up and about again, this isnt a Finals team anymore, so those with delusional dreams, you'd better get the tissues ready because you are in for a hellishly long year.
