Yes Moz.

BTW it's Weitering.

CIM, again  I am not Mozzie.  You are to be respected though for your undying love for our club.  Even if I do think it's a bit weird.

Ok mate,

Why are we playing so badly?

Why would it be weird for a supporter to have undying love for their club?
Only a troll would raise such a question.

The board, pretty sure.

Tell me what you think. Dying to hear it , don't spare the words, give us chapter and verse everything that's wrong with the club and a plan to fix it.

3000 words should be enough for a good summary.

Chop chop. I'll read it in the morning.

We played badly in the last days of MM. Now we are building and are having small wins every week. The Dogs and the Saints weren't too different from us 5 minutes ago and look at them now. Proper process and patience has led to success on field. We will be a powerhouse club in 2-3 years no doubt.
In the mean time troll away to your hearts content.

There was plenty of effort for the first half.

Saying otherwise is just a tanty.
I want I want I want.

Grow up.

Running around and chasing your opponents is not being competitive.
All that means, is that blinkered biased Carlton supporters who can't accept or face reality, will think that our team was "competitive".

All they achieved by doing that was keep in touch with GC for the first half.

Eventually, namely the second half, it took its toll. Hit a target with a handball and a kick, and you aren't running up and down the ground expending needless energy.

Even Bolton conceded that 11 goals that GC kicked were as a result of turnovers. I.E. skill errors.

At least he did say that if players aren't up to it, they will be cleared out at the end of the year.

I respect him for that.

He can see that they are no good.

Take a leaf out of his book., and your comments might gain some credibility.

3 games in to a rebuild.

Didn't hear Bolton squealing like a child.

He knows it takes time.

When an 18 yr old in his first season is your bog... that just says so much about your club on so many levels...

And maybe, just maybe, BB believed McKay and others about some players at his disposal... yes it is a reset but boy when you learn that some of the experienced players at your disposal are not up to it...

Remember BB came with a Dawks culture and player standard understanding... now he's witnessing the polar opposite first hand.

I'm not panicking.  We got the shot in the arm a new coach brings and got the benefits twice because we went with a care taker and then a newbie.

We have simply come back to earth again with a bit of a thud.

Slow ball movement isn't our issue.

The inability to hit targets (just like the last few years) hurts us more.

A couple of times we moved the ball end to end with a series of good passes only to resort to a kick to a two on three contest inside forward fifty.

It's a bit pedestrian,  but it's the issue of not playing enough true forwards. 

The second half drop off isn't a desire or ability or fitness issue.  it's a side who is worn down by working hard for little rewards inside fifty.  A side that doesn't believe it can win.  Probably because we miss the few easy chances to kick goals and then concede multiple goals in a row.
