Not if you count white flags ?

Carroll and Boyd can get a run this week and I'd even give Levi another go this time as 1st ruck.
Kennedy was good tonight. Is it because we played him on the ball?
Dow, got better as the game went on. Is it because we persisted with him on the ball?
Jones, good.
Saad, reasonably good.
Stocker. If someone could explain to me why he doesn't get a run on the ball I'd be grateful. Wasted in the back pocket and often played on the most dangerous small forward.
Docherty is a shell of the man who was once all Australian, but we need to be a bit more patient and hide him somewhere like half-forward.
Cripps had real intent tonight but he's a 50/50 when he has ball in hand.
Trying to find our next win?

I have to admit that I was wrong about Kennedy. He was very good tonight.
If he can back that up, a new contract and a spot on the primary list is quite likely.

Dumb decisions.
The fish rots from the head.

In fairness to Dow and to his mate LOB they havent had much senior support apart from the usual suspects to learn off and its
very hard to make progress when half your teammates cant be bothered turning up but still want their pay cheques every month.
Kennedy was good tonight but is that soldier like Ed who will give effort but isnt ever going to be a game breaker but at least he gave effort and he should have been played in the middle more often and got more games.
Docherty is a shell of the reliable warrior he was, started well but then got the fumbles and fell away in confidence...

Also who is responsible for teaching the players to stand 5m from their player? They can be sacked tonight

He tends to play some good games then get injured as well which sets him back, wish him well but I think he could be a fall guy at seasons end.

I was thinking that the review and the effect on the players was the "elephant in the room."
How has it impacted the playing group.
I guess the question is "Even though it was our worst loss this year was it really much different to some of our previous performances."
I suspect we have a great variation in our level of commitment through the playing list.
Some will give you 100% every game, even if they lose their matchups throughout the game.
I reckon some may have already checked out and be looking for a move.
We may even have players on good money who are a bit too comfortable with their lot.
There may be players who feel they deserve games yet are constantly overlooked.
The result of this can manifest itself in a lack of unity in the playing group, divisions and cliques.
Maybe the review will unearth some of these issues.

I reckon I should go to bed. You can only bash you head against a brick sitting around talking about our performances.
