Game day Tigers V Geesook

Our major problems:

1) midfield
2) small forwards
3) coaching assistants

End of story. Boost personnel in all three areas and reset.
Not just small forwards Carts; all forwards. Jack is old and has played one good game in 6 weeks. Lynch can't get near it on $1.2m per year for the next 4 years; slower than Ben Holland.

Where are our young key forwards and backs coming through. CCJ is still iffy and Balta is the only one you'd say is a best 22 lock going forward.

i just dont get it.
record height weight & pace deficit- still thrashed.
any chance we can start building a side not behind the 8 ball at first bounce?
We built a running side that won three out of four flags. They changed the rules to stop us and there's been a mid-season draft since. So, no. No chance as yet. Luckily, there's a draft this year. And a trade period. And we'll have six picks inside 45.

Get a grip, we're missing half of our best starting 18, not duds but the best on our list. Who was missing from the pussie, not many of quality.
Reverse the situation & they would well & truly struggle.
Injuries have really cruelled us this year.
Something needs to be done over the off season to rectify the current situation. Losing Rob Innes has has a significant impact on our injury recovery

Mid tier players didn't step up.
Cotch 19 disposals, Parker 19, Lambert 15, Graham 15, Bolton 14, Edwards 13,

We:ve never relied on huge midfield possessions but that's pretty poor by any standard. Only 1 bonafide midfielder in there today still at a realistic age, Bolton. The others are midfield pinch hitters. We just can't afford to not have Dusty and Prestia playing.

We need to regroup and plan for next year.
We need player's like Paul Seedsman. A player that can run the length of the G and kick well.
We need another midfielder. Mitchell or Tarranto or Green.
We need to be active in this year's trade period of Bolton wants out.
Lets get Ryan and Freo's first.

Only Positive was Rioli

Plenty of negatives.

Ross gets a bad wrap but there is some life there I reckon.

Stack had some howlers but I reckon I saw some Positives there too. Love his hard stuff.

Reckon we can win our last 4. Even without trying too hard.

I'm not sure many people on here expected us to win, but that was a comprehensive smashing. We were never in it.

When the most disappointing players on the day were our senior leaders, then the season is done.

Yes injuries have cruelled us but it is not an unrealistic expectation that the 22 that go out there can execute the basic skills of the game such as kicking, marking and handballing. We still had 15 premiership players out there and it was the 2 & 3 time premiership players that were stuffing things up all game.

I didn't necessarily expect to win but I certainly expected better than that. We have dropped off a cliff.

Even when we were in it we weren't on the scoreboard. There were times that we played ok, had plenty of scoring opportunities and couldn't put on any scoreboard pressure.

That's been the problem all year.

Nailed it.

Our forward 50 work has been putrid all year.

Just hasn't clicked and sadly nothing looks like changing

We have injuries galore can only replace so much then your patching holes , but who ever thinks that's been our only issue this year is dreaming.Dow , RCD etc , need games now.Aarts and George holding us back need to be replaced.

Regroup get a few new assistant's club needs to spend to $$.Hit the draft and fine tune our game plan, maybe a free agent and hards calls on a few players.

Can't see it. We've lost 5 of last 6 including to current 14th and 16th. Haven't been able to string more than 2 wins in a row all season. Playing poorly, won't be able to turn it around.

The reason why we are capable of of loosing to everyone is that our mids for various reasons are worst in the league,we have hardly won a mid battle.
