People laughed when I suggested we should trade Cripps and Charlie, but they are no help to us at the moment.
We need 6 or 8 good AFL level footballers, and that is the way to get them, opposition clubs will have to force players to come to us, and Cripps and Charlie are the only players with that sort of currency!

Charlie Curnow kicks a goal! 3 goals 1, which is such a high proportion of our score. He's had half a dozen possessions.
Live Long and Prosper!

Our dependence on Simmo, Cripps, Charlie, has really been highlighted today , so many don't deserve to pull on the jumper , no pride at all

Coaching is poor but SOS is under the pump IMO...GWS list hasnt lived up to the hype and our list rebuild looks like it either stalled or failed.....
The buck stops somewhere....I know we have injuries but we have no depth and a over reliance on two players....
Drafting I haven't minded. Most have sown something. You can go through them all and see that. SOS can only draft the talent. It's very much up to the coaches to get the most out of them and that is where we are failing. Bet if other clubs drafted those players they'd be doing alot better. Weitering just looks totally confused by what role he has to do, as would happen when you pick 4 key defenders. We're managing to stuff him right up. Like I said, if we had Dusty we could make him look a dud too.
Trading, that's another matter. Suppose our main targets Plowman, Marchbank and Kennedy now have been good, Phillips a nice pick up but we've had to take their rubbish as well to get those players cheap that has clogged up our list.

List management is sh1t at best.
The players we retain while de-listing others, and the recruiting of GWS recycled types, is not taking us forward!
Think about today's game when Levi extends his contract!

You're right, we laughed...lol.
We have good picks coming out of our @rse as it is. What would we do with the picks anyway, get good players, albeit with less ability than those two, then the coaching staff stuff them up. Maybe as well keep our stars then hope to build around them.

Commentators just saying how great a pick up Robbo was for Brisbane - ffs.

Draft picks are at best 50/50, we can't afford 50/50.
Giving us draft picks is like giving a busted ar5e beggar a lottery ticket and telling him to enjoy the feast!
