Few weeks is permanent in my view one good season in four years is - there is the door go and find it Thank you for your services.

I think the problem is with the board giving too much influence towards Cripps.
I love him but it's time for him to go.

Cerra is a win but Acres is a fail. Total waste of money in my opinion. Never sold on him. Plays 2 great games then 4 or 5 B-grade efforts, if not complete shitters. Disposal accuracy is definitely questionable. Especially under pressure. Not that quick. Not a tackle machine. I would drop him for something in youth. Our season is all but over. Get the kids in. They may step up and at least develop at top level.

Acres is a future third round pick on $300k..... he is the least of our problems
Club just needs to be not "smart" because they are quite dumb.... but ruthless in list management decisions because past six weeks have been unacceptable and its not the coach,, players look conditional on which games to play well. There is always the VFL for them.

He signed mid last year for what 6 years? Now suddenly he’s bad for the culture, bad attitude, not good enough, only had one good year.
I love him but it's time for him to go.
He seems professional to me. Got a running coach, a speaking coach. Taking it upon himself to improve himself. Yet now he’s the problem?
Saw a HUGE number of players get the ball. Stop, think, unsure, no fking idea, pass it sometimes ok but mostly terrible kicks or shit handballs. No one running for anyone to make position, no grunt, no shepherding.
Yet Cripps is the problem?

Until Walsh can recapture the form he had prior to his back injury and Cripps joins him with the form he had in the first half of last year, we will continue with a midfield unable to get first use of the ball and thereby unable to put pressure on the backlines of opposition teams.
No matter what plan is proposed by Voss, once the team sees Cripps and Walsh are unable to provide leadership on the field a defensive mindset seems to set in.
Unless those two regain the ability to take charge of the centre, other changes amount to moving deckchairs given who is available on our list.

We got that 2 years ago as well and found out eventually he had back issues.
