GAME DAY Tiges v Suns

Touk Miller is a gun!
He shows how bad Cotchin has become. Miller is twice the player now sadly. Gets double+ the disposals and far superior DE. Doesn't get caught or ensures he releases it with a HB. Umpires love him because he plays the game with great skill and composure.

Is it just the last 2 games?

I am wondering why Leppa left now, said he'd had enough of footy life, but his name comes up a lot in regards to coaching. He even commentates as though he has no connection at all with us.
its very evident in the last 2 games
Wouldnt be surprised if its personal
 
We saw the worst of almost every player on the ground.
Only Lynch and Grimes (and maybe vlas) were anywhere near their best form. Everyone else stunk.

Yeah you're probably right Zgod.

But... Gold Coast. They were out on their feet in the last quarter. How we conspired to lose that game is truly beyond me.
Something stinks.
This is the shitshow we need.

15 games or so ago we were the envy of the comp.
 
The lack of defensive running was really bad. We really miss Lambert and Prestia. I am not sure we can win another game this year.
Nankervis the biggest loss. Really stood out tonight, he would have dominated. Chol soundly beaten by a makeshift ruck. Nanks second and third efforts really stand out, and don't allow so many easy clearances as we've seen the last couple of weeks. If nothing g else it gives up time to set up defensively with our wings for our running game. We're not getting any of that at the moment

Something happened during the bye or we are tanking (maybe even to test SHocking and see if he investgates).
 
That was a massacre. Should have been at least 6-7 goal beating. To the team that lost to North last week. 2 weeks in a row we got absolutely smashed by ordinary football sides. I'm more shocked than angry.
Nah I'm angry. It should never happen to a proud club. The last qtr against West Coke and the last 2 weeks have set this club back 5 years.

Im shattered, m8. You cant be serious.
He's throwing himself in same as always, but it's not effective. He's not winning the ball out of turn and when he does, his disposal is sloppy.

Look, it's a whole-club malaise and if it's something that can be fixed, maybe he can rebound. But there seems to be a dark cloud over the club.

Yeah I think he's now potentially starting to impact our ability to bring the young kids through. We need to see if some of our kids can play mid. RCD has shown it at times. People writing Dow off in the 3rd quarter is crazy, needs more game time, need to see if Martyn can play, Stack, Mansell etc. All these guys we need to know what they can do.

The link in all 3 games is McIntosh
His first half against Wc.
His game last week and tonight.
You can't constantly play a footballer because he can cover 20 kms. He can't mark, he can't kick he is useless.
I would trade him for a 3rd rounder
 
Bakes had a crack. Marlion had a crack. Tom, jack, cotchy, vlastuin, grimes, dusty, bachar had a crack.

but heaps of blokes didnt. And a few young blokes simply arent good enough.

we couldnt just keep kicking gold nuggets out of dirt

not to denigrate the premiership heroes, but theres a few double and triple premiership heroes,

who look pretty ordinary pretty suddenly.

thats how it goes.

thats success and failure
