The more fatigued you are, the lesser your skills and decision making will be.

We simply aren’t fit or strong enough. Not only does that mean we can’t run two ways or for four quarters but I think it has a lot to do with our poor skills and decision making.

When people (hopefully our match committee and list Management) finally realise we are going no where with guys like this, the sooner we can fix the problem. He cannot kick and for an outside player that’s a big problem.

I think rock bottom would be 23 losses this season, Clarko leaves , several contracted and uncontracted players want out and Dani Laidley signs on as coach under the guidance of Paul Roos as a consultant.

It’s a bit village mate

Best post I have read in ages. Says it all. The course we are being told to stay on is one that shows a decline in performance. There is no way in any sort of planning or predicting 2024 should be worse than 2023. I’d like to know what Clarko’s and Todd’s explanation for this is.

2 seasons is 45 games. That is a big sample size. A lot of our “young guys” have been around a while in Powell , Scott , Curtis , Stevo etc There is no doubt going to be incremental improvement amongst the group I refer, I said that. Sheezel sits on the fringe of this group and is the best...

I think I said 8 but I take your point. I don’t think it is as hard as you think with the money that we could potentially offer. A Josh Battle, Scrimshaw these types are available. Once a couple of them know others are coming, combined with the dozen quality players we already have, it doesn’t...

Duursma kicked 4 so needs to come in. Ford also and I agree about the second key forward. No idea who that is. Maybe Pink. Does Jy come back? I wouldn’t mind seeing Bergman given a run and I’d put Zurhaar in the backline too. Maybe Hardeman to the wing. In: Duursma Ford Pink Bergman Out...

This is the deluded company line, that somehow with 30 - 40 games more it will turn and we are laying the foundations for success. 80 percent of that team last night have played a lot of seasons of AFL footy. There would be incremental improvement amongst the Powells etc, but they are basically...

Agree. Not having a second (or strong overhead 3rd) tall forward sees the ball not brought to ground at all or in dangerous spots. The defenders simply have to push Larkey under the ball, then either mark or sweep it up behind him. Zurhaar is out the door clearly and it’s time we moved...

No it doesn’t. This is the ridiculous mentality that sees us lose by 10 goals per week. We need to add 8 - 10 AFL standard players around the 12 we already have on the list to get to the level of Adelaide, Hawthorn even Richmond. Sadly, I’m convinced Clarko is not the right guy either. How we...

He is closer to being made captain than being dropped. Him kicking in from fullback 🤦‍♂️

There needs to be change from the top down. Immediately. Clarko clearly has zero clue what he is doing and coaching in his shorts like some NAB cup game says it all. The only time ive heard from Jen Watt is jumping on to a Don Pyke (who is looking to rid himself of the Adelaide camp tag)...

I reckon Pink has to be a late in. Not only do we now not have a second tall forward, but we don’t have a third tall defender to cover Walter, King and Lucocious. I guess we are banking on greasy conditions etc.
