He couldn't have given anymore that day.
He hasn't looked the same since.
This is where our lack of media presence bites us, you could excuse them for leaving the field that day thinking it's the whole competition against you and nobody is sticking up for you!
Nobody is standing up for them off field, and I suspect this weekend's result is a consequence of the Daisy situation and the VFL decision, and yet it is not Daisy's fault!

How does anyone feel when they have given their absolute best possible shot and still no joy?? Belief takes a huge hit and demoralisation can set it. We have witnessed that.
Reality always wins in the end.

It's not that, it's the fact he receives little or not support!
Our midfield is very poorly coached, they do not know what they are doing!

Silvagni getting away with no scrutiny at all ,pressure on Bolton but sos recruiting has FAILED the club .if his surname was Rogers/ Hughes he would be under extr3me pressure . All his players are to slow for example .

I'd have to say that Cripps' belief in the way we are currently headed has taken a massive hit in the past couple of weeks. The fact he gets so little support would reinforce that belief - it's a symptom that things are not working properly and are not being fixed. That has to be corrected asap i.e. belief restored, or else Cripps, and others, will be looking for the exit.

I would think his work is under scrutiny alright and as time goes on he will be judged accordingly.

Kennedy
Setterfield
Fisher
SPS
These four have been particularly underwhelming and questions need to be asked, particularly of the first two.
Fix the midfield and a lot of problems go away.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

This seems to be the crux of the problem....
When the midfield fails, it affects the backline and the forward line - all 3 segments fail.
As a collective, our midfield is not even a bad joke, it is worse....
They have no system, plan, strategy....to win the ball and use it well.
The blokes function as individuals not as a cohesive unit.
That's ok in U/12s but senior AFLlevel - it's laughable....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Couldn’t believe how slow Kennedy looked yesterday, felt like I could’ve done a better job.
Setterfield I thought worked hard but he hasnt had much run at it, I think he’ll be ok long term.
Dow had a few bursts which were exciting.
Fish was missing mostly and SPS tried hard at least.

Particularly underwhelming so far imo.
