Been down for a bit now. I think he's checked out of our club personally. I don't think he'll re-sign and don't blame him a bit :'(
I'm ready to remove my membership renewal. I've been patient for the decades and put faith in the return of SOS. Bolton not so much. Worst part is that we have plenty of talent but seriously lack that hard competitive edge. Nice doesn't win games. Not sure intelligence or teaching skill does either.
Sorry that's a negative post. I'm all out of positives just now. That performance after Norp etc. Has left me on empty.
Take care of you Bluebaggers

I quite like marchy, at least he seems to get himself to contests.
Saw too many players watching their guy and letting another run past, that above all else shits the hell out of me. Just dumb.

It's not those dodgy umpiring decisions, like when Tippa ducks his head and Marchbank is pinged, that has nothing to do with it.
It's what Marchbank does when he has the ball, and the way he plays as a medium tall type, 194cm x 93kg. But he is worthless against players his own size, lacks strength and aggression, plays bruise free and is too slow for opponents smaller than him.
If he was an elite ball user and decision maker he could get away with it because he intercepts well, but he isn't!
Tippa had his head down over the ball and Marchbank attacked him front on.....dumb...

I don't think Brad Scott or anybody else could be the messiah, we're well beyond that sort of help - just somebody, prefereably a very tough bastard, who might just drag us back a couple of mm from the precipice edge.
Reality always wins in the end.

In fairness to Marchbank, Tippa had the momentum not Marchbank, and there was little or no contact in it.

Brad Scott or Ross Lyon types would be a huge mistake, our list doesn't suit their game style at all.
It would mean another rebuild!

Geez we are a rabble.
How can you judge the players when they are part of such a crap system.
The coach and coaching panel need to be accountable.
Have been saying for weeks now, the coach is out of his depth.
Has zero game plan and the players have now given up.
They went at half rat power today.
If the club doesn’t move him on we will lose players.
We need a coaching group that has had some success at the top level.
Our footy ops manager and coach have 11 games experience at AFL level.
We should chase Sam Mitchell and Roughead as an assistant

Outbodied by Baguley.....led to the ball by Laverde, out muscled by Laverde.....real household names those two.
Sorry LP but he isnt the player we thought we were getting and has a long way to go....

Not only is the Adelaide Football Club laughing their collective heads off, so are two Perth based clubs at the prospect of picking up Crippa.
How many more blokes will want to leave our club if things don't change... asap?
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Spot on.
Hopefully the penny has finally dropped in the stubborn heads of our Board.
