Back to the Hawks forum for you mate.

Average list.

Bad game plan.

Coach past his shelf life.


Which of these is the problem?

[LP]

Multiple times tonight you see the ball on the ground between two Carlton players and neither goes to the ball. They have a negative focus because we have a negative game plan!

How can a team win when nobody wants to attack?

I'm starting to enjoy it as well.

Just like knew Australia had to get smashed before the selectors turfed Ponting, we need to belted into the stone age to change the coach and the board.

Mick is done no doubt about it. We also need to completely rejig our player development. A massive clean out and rethink needed there.

What were the players doing when they made the finals three years running, improved every year and should have made a prelim under Ratts then? Wish they had have played for Ratts we would've won a premiership for sure.

When we're allowed to play to our strengths we at least a bottom end of a finals sides. Proved it before, proved it even late last year. When we play this defensive, behind the ball crap around the boundary we're a bottom 3 side.

I've had similar thoughts after some losses over the past few years, and it has not made one iota of difference.

don't think a clean out is needed, just need a coach who'll coach to our strengths, not weaknesses that demoralise the players.

No doubt we are coached to Mick's strengths and not ours and the players look confused, devoid of confidence and over it.

It's just obvious to me Laj, I can't understand why others don't see it!

Our only hope with this list is the shoot-out, instead we are scraping away to create certain loses with an obsolete game plan!
