All ready for tomorrow.

Thread is open for business...
Reckon we'll do a roaring trade

That was the worst exhibition of coaching I've come across since the days of Pagan. I'm all for teaching and development but why go back to something they left us totally lost, confused and regularly thrashed.

Was going to say Heart breaking but Carlton broke my heart years ago.
Then there is soul crushing, upsetting, devastating but you have to care for that to happen.
SO Numbing

Posted this in the game thread just before it was locked up, I'll give it another run.
I'm sick of being embarrassed by my football team, if we're going to be dismantled then at least go down with an eye on the future and not with a bunch of spuds and hack rejects from other clubs.
Weitering, Silvagni and Cunningham play next week for starters, Williamson the week after, and Kerr stays in, how can we possibly expect a kid in game one to shine in an outfit like we put on the park today?
If they don't start cutting the spuds very shortly I'll lose interest after 50 plus years.

This is by far our worst MC performance for the whole season, it looked to me like we expected the Dees to play the same way they played last season, and that we pretty much ignored every game they had played this season!

I really do not know what to say, we looked lifeless!

Today's game looked like a tell, and the VFLW and VFL results, is there something rotten in Denmark?

The AFL as a industry tried it's best to kick us during the week, and instead of sticking fat and rallying in defiance, we've gone meekly into the night!

Do we look like a club that doesn't want to be there, like we've lost the will to survive?

Yes, what's the bet Kerr is the one to go. He had an excellent first half but what hope did he have in the 2nd half.

It was a disgraceful performance from the coaches through to the playing group. Started with the coaching. It was purely brainless.

I think we've started mounting a strong case for a priority pick.

IDK where to start, but i wont suggest what we've always done in the past and that's sacking the coach.

on field  leadership needs to change, Murphy is at the end, and has been there for some time. He owes the club, not the other way around.
some of the new guys Garlett, SPS, SOS, are not up to it, the others need more time and the fillers are there only to bind the cement.

Lauding list manager may have come early, but without knowing how knowledge, tactics , etc is engendered at the club, its hard to say.

We've been here far too long and too many times, without success, and the only department that has performed given the reoccurring performance (of lack thereof ) is marketing. Without them lying proficiently , this club would be an after thought.

Geelong at Geelong and Sydney in Sydney the next 2 games.
