Game day Tiges V the Filth

Good finish to the half. At least if we can get a good start in the third we are back in it.
 
we have a lot of problems, as we know.

But when rebuilding like this yiu need your experienced players playing well and leading the way.

The biggest let downs on that front week in week out for different reasons are short and hopper.

short cos he's so poor defensively and picks and chooses when to contest.

Hopper cos in tandem with taranto we are just too slow in the middle. he does nothing to stem the tide - we are smashed 23-13 at clearance today.

and cos we are so slow those clearances are easy clean breakaways for the other team.

He adds nothing in our current makeup.
Hoppers 50m shot just then was pathetic.

Geez Balta is useless forward. Any chance of leading into space rather than standing still behind his opponent?
I’ve said it many times, will not make a forward as long as his a…e points to the ground.
Drops too many marks & his game is built on spoiling & running straight.

We can get back into the game in the second half. All we need is for the defence, the mids, the forwards and the followers to turn up to play

Cwood are rubbish. It's just that we are worse.

Just have a go. Pressure. Certainly not going to win with skill talent or run.

Received a Richmond Club letter on Friday asking for a donation to help build the Jack Dyer stand at Punt Road Oval.

Think the money would be better spent on getting AFL standard players. Oh, and a coaching panel that inspires players to play for them.

This display is simply not AFL standard. And there is no endeavour from the players nor pride in the jumper. Seen them laughing at their mistakes.

Time for a huge shake up and change.

Nice finish to the half. What happened? Did the coaches leave the box with a couple of minutes to go to get an early start on the oranges in the rooms?
 
Geez that was an insipid half.

Q: If bakes hasn't signed yet, and is looking more and more likely to leave, why reward him with today's captaincy?

It's an honour, should have given it to Vlastuin.

Because the leadership group is:

Nank
Lynch
Bakes
Short

The only alternative was Short.

Totally agree Leysy,

Rewarding horrible form from our senior players, especially Short is doing us no favours.

Yze would be better off sending a message about acceptable standards, and dropping him.

We are unlikely to win another game this year, and the team is playing like they are disinterested.

I'm not sure injuries can still be an excuse. This Collingwood side is rubbish.

Ryan still a puppy. Need him to turn into a man pronto. Still has one of those teenager moustaches.
