Reflects poorly on our leaders, but also funny in a cute way. Zac will be our bravest player going. Watch out when he puts on another 800 grams or so  . I'm loving watching him, Samo, Charlie n co develop.
There were some great passages between the youngsters today. Williamson, SOJ, Cunningham, and big H were involved too. Good signs. For tomorrow, not today.
Nice post love navy and sums up our lot. I worry for bolts after performance s like today, we are all impatient and being played off the park int eh first half is not a good look at all. They looked to have the best players all over in the first half and we had no answers. They were left to run thru the middle unchecked.
Extremely disappointed.
I'm done with gibbs and Murphy. Fluffy. Enjoy watching Simon in his last year folks

The overall softness was galling. I'm over our blokes letting themselves get owned physically by muppets week in week out.
Yeah. Not like the subsequent suspensions benefit us any. Just the next team or two. Luckily, or should I say hopefully, Samo and the Plow come up after their mauling. And catch this, he probably got the 3 votes >

Simpson has looked cooked for a few weeks. I was convinced we needed to retain Gibbs and Murphy. Young players need experience around them. But we are 16th and just got flogged by 18th. If we get a bump in the draft or get a good trade over the line then it may well be worthwhile having both on the table. Neither offer sufficient leadership. A quarter of today's game is understandable, but for over a half of football we were witches hats. The inability of senior players to sufficiently marshal the team shows just how weak we are.

Brisbane's form is much better than ours as is their game plan. Our game plan requires a huge amount of work and concentration, which is normally lacking for one quarter. Today it was two, and at the start of the game. There is a huge amount of wasted energy in chasing players like we had to in the first half. It was ridiculously easy for BL.
It seems that a couple of teams are working out easy ways to play against us.
Not helping our cause is Cripps, Ed, A Silvagni/Rowe (not sure how it works with Rookies), Marchbank missing - they add skill and a bit more mongrel to the side (maybe White as well)
Supporters need to understand that after 200+ games that both Murphy and Gibbs are not going to go in and extract the ball consistently.
I turned off at half time, but saw we got back within 2 goals. In the end we had the same number of scores.
We had a few with 150 games experience, a heap with under 30 and the in between ones we know aren't great. Not going to win many games with that mix, either.
There is plenty to like with the young kids, so while it isn't great watching them at the moment, I don't really care about the result.

@ dodge
Good points.
I think Bolt's said we had 9 players, 20 and under in his pre-match interview.
Just the same, both sides have a young list and inexperienced coaches. We were beaten in both departments. The difference.... The leaders. No more, no less.

I think there are 2 players on our list that average more goals a game than Jack who averages (0.96 goals a game)
1. Levi Casboult (1.08 goals a game)
2. Matthew Wright (1.18 goals a game)
Jack is about as pure of a forward as we have on our list. Let him learn his craft there. He kicked 3 goals only 2 weeks ago.
You're entitled to your opinion, however wrong it may be.
Jack's football education was really ramped up today and that's what's going to make the difference to his career. Bolton's decision (and presumably that of the rest of the MC) to play Jack in defence gave me more confidence that we're on the right track. Yes, winning games is important but setting the team up to win more games in 2018 and 2019 is more important than beating another developing side this season.

We were very poor today. Bolton's coaching has to come under the microscope. We left the corridor open, they flogged us through it. No tag on Zorko. Playing JSOS down back? Are we tanking? I don't get it.
Educating (Experimenting) rather than worrying about results?
The upside is a solid draft pick and a bit of experience for the youngsters.
The downside is a rather dismal end to the season for supporters, apart from minor glimpses of 'green shoots.'
Hopefully they get it right.
It's high risk stuff with a number of variables and no guarantees.
