Hope this game shows we need to make some tough calls at the end of the year. Starting with the Grimes captaincy and Jack and Cotch's retirements. Don't think Mini can make those calls
Agree totally. Bit sick of this they all love Mini rubbish. Of course they are gonna say that; what do we expect? They are not going to say they don't want him coaching are they. Complete waste of time asking players what they think.

Club needs fresh voices in the coaching ranks. Jack and Cotch are legends of the club and we love them for all they have done but it is now time to move on. Thye club needs to start building the next era and IMHO a fresh start is what is required.

Think we got a smashing out of the middle in the second half?
Backline was under pressure but geez they were awful.
Petty career high goals 2, today 6. Melksham most goals this year 2, today 4. Van Rooyen career high goals 3, today 4.

For me our backline was just too poor but yes the gates opened in the last.

When will the club officially question the umpiring of our matches? Plenty of examples today with the worst (just) on Broad missing the high and then giving a HTB

Gee grimes the contract extension mid year was baffling at the time but it looks real dumb now. And can trent cotchin please just at least look interested instead of walking around with that *smile* eating grin on his face if he doesn't want to compete give him his farewell game now
 
Frustrating to get blown away like that. Defence let us down.
I reckon our midfield got severely outplayed in the 2nd half and the Tsunami of waves continually battering our defence - it just had to crack.

Only against us.
Goodwin will try it in a final and he wont touch it.
Where's our Petty? Where's Coleman Jones? Where's Miller??
14 goals by the Forwards ....14 !!!!! .... and have a look WHO those were ...... Petty, Melksham and Van Rooyen.

Shows you how well our Backline is going on the day........ Sh!ithouse would be understatement of the year, very disappointing. :(

? He doesn’t even contest hard enough to actually drop anything.
He drops plenty when he is on his own. Another on HFF today when we were surging forward in third quarter; turnover resulted and ball straight back in Dees forward line. He does it every week it seems. Needs to be dropped.

It was already fractured. It's why Melbourne were as close as they were to us at half time.

said it a few times but not a lot has changed since dimmq left. Think Mini's influence has been greatly enhanced. He was Afterall a senior assistant under Dimma so already had plenty of influence.

It’s better this has happened.

Never would have been capable of doing anything in September.

Now tough decisions will need to be made in the next four weeks going into the pre season.

Tough Decisions.

I will look towards this next month to see what sort of ‘selection integrity’ and what I term ‘ selection honesty to the future’.

Of course I’m disappointed in what happened today but it was coming.

Just like it happened against the Lions, in that last half of this last quarter I saw similar efforts .

I know quite a few will say , we still have a chance and the noise outside the club will say, finals are still in play but 3/4 games to go are as tough as can be.

I will stand to be ‘called out ‘ if a miracle happens but the Lions opened a wound and exposed what is the truth.

Skill

Forwards

Pace

Crumbing forwards


Waiting.
