We’ve got too many backmen that we’re trying to play as forwards
Gibcus Balta Baker Shorty (plays mid as well) aren’t forwards and we can’t fit them In the backline

Weve already got Miller Tarrant Broad Vlastuin DRioli Grimes in the backline
We just can’t fit them all in the backline
Were desperately in need of forwards and mids

2 weeks in a row Bakes has barely set foot in the midfield.

WHY??

He's been sensational, just leave him there

I wish dimma would cop some harder questions in the presser.

We keep saying it weekly undisciplined , missed chances , poor skills or fade outs none has been rectified. Today was a different level lazy , intensity and poor leadership were was the fight and hunger from the last 2 weeks or pressure and tackling gone backwards after cats game.

Our senior group besides a few have showed lack of leadership no composure or experience for 3 time premiership players alot we're quick to jump on George and Aarts they a not up to it 100% , but it's a team issue complete waste of season from going to push for top 4 2 games ago to this now.

As for Dimma has to fall on him ultimately and take responsibility , but let me say players have a big part.Jack for me doesn't get another contract been selfish and trying to do to much.

Bit of reality…22 pts is a bucket load of shots… and they weren’t from bad angles or positions…. What’s the real team gap?

We have perhaps the worst midfield in the league and baker and pickett didn't attend one centre bounce

Someone at the club needs to sit dimma down and explain to him that the midfield is the most important part of a team..

interestingly Sonzie attend 13 centre bounces , don't get me wrong he had a great debut but in the short term i would have thought those guys could have helped us more

Too much cool aid being drunk at Tigerland at the moment. Turned up thinking it would just happen. Shameful display today.

I’m all in on cutting out the deadwood now. Cotch, JR, Edwards, et al, are Tiger legends and forever will be, but they are taking us nowhere now. We can’t win it with them in the team, so let’s look 3-5 years down the track like we did in ‘09. I see enough in the likes of Baker, Cumberland, Sonsie, RCD, Gibcus, and others, to put them in and leave them in.

Yep. Players becoming individualistic now.

Easy to blame the coach and coaches but don't think we have the players atm .
We have a aging injury prone list . Our youngers not good enough or not ready yet . Our midfield is uuggg .

Going to be a very interesting off season for us!

Yes.

The point he was trying to make is that we are killing ourselves. We are getting the ball in there and creating opps but lack composure and execution.

He said, as we all know, we kicked 1 goal 9 from within 30 metres of goal.
Yep again.Dim a said this is his presser....

Because someone had a brain fart Who will own up to this move of Gibbo in the ruck?
I posted on Thursday before selection that thing I didn’t want to see today was either Jack or Gibcus rucking. Well *smile* me. Balta had to play on ball and Gibcus had to stay forward.
What a *smile*-up.
