No excuse for the loss, other than a shocker of a coach.
Other than Simmo, we had all the others available in the third quarter.
The last quarter put a lie to the fact that without the three players who weren't available we couldn't win.
As I said in the in game thread. I watched the last quarter of Port and North and North killed Port.
If they play like that against us, we won't win.

Bolton lost me in thaty 3rd quarter.
Were they told to slow it down and switch to a zone (which always brings them undone)....
And no one even trying to stop their most prolific ball getter - AGAIN.
It's groundhog day.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Well he’s yet to prove that he can be a successful game day coach. His record so far is frankly abysmal.

Make no mistake people. The Mole can see everything and will report all his findings to the board.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

...and here we start creating an alternate version of history.
Someone in the in-game said at the start of the 3rd that we are now trying to put the clamps on Omeara.
Everytime the opposition get a run on, a team moves to slow the game down and break momentum. Every side.
We couldn't get our hands on the ball as easily as we did in the first half.

That's crazy. You have Docherty, Walls, Bolton, Teague, Barker, various analysts, statisticians etc., all watching the game, and you don't think that between that cast of thousands, one of them might see what the experts on here can see ? Do you think, maybe, just maybe, that whatever changes are made or not made, there may be some reasoning behind it ? That they may know a little more about the state of play than you or me ?
But no, by all means, sack the coach.

Let’s cut him some slack.
He needs another 3 years after beating a terrible Bulldogs outfit.
How dare we make the coach accountable

Yes, his record is lousy, but there's reasons for that IMO, as I've suggested previously.

Feckin' unacceptable. Same old, same old.
This game clearly highlighted to me the lack of quality leadership we have - and I'm not talking about leading by example (e.g. Cripps). Hawthorn clearly have a core group who marshal different aspects of the game depending on the circumstance. That, and a better coach.
We really have to do better with kickouts. The dinky kick to the pocket is so old school but it could also be symptomatic that we don't have the kicking skills to do better. It simply telegraphs the fact to our opponent that we're timid and lack confidence. In contrast, in that 3rd quarter, they hit someone on the chest on the 50 metre line and then took it coast to coast.
No Kreuzer, no Carlton. Silvagni good in the first half, rancid in the second.
Also, if I was to criticise one of the field umpires I would be labelled sexist, misogynistic, and chauvinistic. So I won't.
