I see it as a positive as well. The only way our moronic MC will make changes is if they are forced too. NFI - like the entire club

On the other hand Melbourne will go into the game full of confidence....and that may be their undoing.
Agree and dare I say just look over the other side of rhe Nullarbor to get a vision of where we could be headed, shudder!

On the Front Bar a few weeks back Fev did a simple demonstration of how he used to hold the ball with one hand lower on the ball at the drop.
Just saw one of the Swannies holding it in a similar fashion.
Have a look at the goalkicking this week and you may see that there are a few using that technique when shooting for goal.
Just something different for Harry to try.

Horse did a number on Vossy in the coaching box. Vossy is too often out coached - lacks imagination, strategic boldness and adaptability.
Confidence is rooted. Tried to be more attacking, but with stuffed confidence just continued to make breathtaking mistakes... which only further erodes confidence - vicious cycle. (Eg H).
Poor on-field and off-field leadership. We have the players but they're being poorly led - the proof is on the paddock. The imperative between the lugholes stuff is just not be addressed, fed and given meaningful direction. Our blokes are not enjoying their footy.
Visionless MC. If Lloyd had any integrity he'd resign, now - lack of player development and leadership is an embarrassment. Need a Balme type running the footy department.
We are a bottom 6 side who give great effort but are rudderless.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

In short Baggers we are demoralised. We need to recover by getting back to basics and doing them well. I could not agree more about onfield leadership which is sadly lacking and maybe subservient to over concerns with personal vanities?

Ok, so it's now the next day. Some of the anger does subside but the realities of the situation become clearer.
We have lost confidence as a group which has put a lot of players in "survival" mode and hence they play selfish football and the team suffers.
The 1%'s disappear as per Gov in a 2 on one not shepparding for his mate but grabbing the Sydney guy by the arm giving away the free kick leading to a goal.
The problems are everywhere and are not going to be fixed overnight;
* Poor skills by hand and foot
* Poor kicking fir goal
* Lack of onfield leadership
* One paced around ball - no explosiveness out of stoppage
You guys know the rest, the list goes on.
Solutions;
I agree with a previous post. Voss needs some quality outside support to come in and work on the issues Clearly those doing the job now are not capable.
We need to sort out the playing list in the back half of the year. Who is capable of taking us forward and who is not. Forget wins and losses Be brave, use the rest of the season to sort though the issues.
Leadership will be critical from now on.
Do we have the leaders at the top to do this? Will it happen? If history is any guide, the answer is "No" to both.
But doing more of the same will just mean we will stay mid to low tier as a club.
