Game day thread - Tiges vs Freo rnd 17

When am I allowed to say "sack the coaches"?

Too soon? This group of players is better than their on field performances and are heading for the wooden spoon.
Agree. McQualter had us playing with much more heart. Our players look like they DGAF.

Easy.

Tresize or Coulthard are the obvious replacements.

Smith or Green at a pinch.
Tresize & Smith aren't forwards. Why would you suddenly put them forward at AFL level? Until last week Coulthard was pretty average. Green average. If they can back up again at VFL level then they become options. But we still have Sonsie, Cumbo, Graham, Mansell all doing jack too. We have no smalls other than Bolton which bright sparks want us to trade.
 
Nank Tim, Hopper and Fridge in the centre square ..................... could there be a slower sentre bounce set up.

Here’s a sliding doors for Parrot.

If Richmond’s cupboard is bare then spare a thought for the umpires association. The standard of umpiring is so poor even Temu would reject it.

4 blokes jog around an oval for 2-3k a night and have absolutely no clue as to why they are there.

Thing is we don’t have talent. Our so called young talent (most have been in the system now for 3/4 years), were hand picked to move the ball forward in any way possible.

Problem is, and it’s been discussed often here, that sort of football ceased to exist post 2020.

Our sausages were not cooked Hardwick; they were burnt. As uneditable as watching your preferred very ordinary selections flounder through each game.

It’s not their fault. They didn’t select themselves to play for the RFC. They will not improve no matter how many excuses are made for them.

I only hope that the fools at the club who failed to read where the direction of the game was going and who with Hardwick’s insistence, picked this bunch of average footballers, are not the same people who are pulling the levers for the next selection period 🙏🏻
This thinking is barking up the wrong tree. yes we have a bunch of average players, thats a fact, but that isn't the problem. Every side has a bunch of average players, thats how the concept of average works. The problem is we don't have enough elite players.
