    Mumford was really good. Kennedy was very good. Parker really had a go and held his own. Every single other player in the team was either beaten (Reid, Grundy, Smith, Shaw, Goodes, McGlynn, ROK, Ted to name a few.....) or horrendous (Bird, Bolton, Jack, LRT, Meredith, Jetta, Mattner, Kennelly). Those last 2 should be the only definites to be dropped IMO. I think Jetta and Meredith might be the 2 worst players in the league when it comes to manning up. Houli just jogged down the field and neither of them could get anywhere near him. It was truly disgusting.

        Pathetic & get rid of these players now a few of them should get a price. Shaw, Kennelly & Mattner make too many mistakes even though Marty is fearless & does some great things. Sack the coaching panel they are hopeless. The club just looked at the next in line for coaching and took the easy way out, the most inexpensive. The players are too old and slow & Longmire doesn't seem to be able to inspire a good game out of Lewis Jetta & that is pathetic. I knew we would lose today, we had a crunch game against the Crows & lost that too. Longmire doesn't seem to be able to coach crucial games.

        Luke Parker as a sub that was a really match winning move and yet Kennelly played. McVeigh (who's mind must be on other things at the moment poor thing) probably shouldn't have played until next week when he would be feeling a bit better & everything was totally clear in his mind. What was wrong with Jude today he looked out of sorts, he missed tackles, dropped the ball & hardly got any of it.
        someone said some weeks ago what would I do play the young blokes & yes I would & get rid of some of the old blokes or at least put them on notice. It is harder to get out of this team if you are a veteran than the Aussie cricket team. Time for a few of them to go. In the last few weeks let's play some of the young blokes and see how they go as they can't do any worse than our experienced blokes getting done by Richmond.

          Everytime Kenelley gets the ball and runs I think I've sat on the remote and hit the slow-mo button.
          He's run down every time

            I reckon we were tanking for draf picks - oh wait we can't e ven do that 'cos our across town rivals get them all. If I were Seaby I would be so dirty that hack rucks like LRT an White ar playing in my position while I was in the reserves.

              That was @@@@. Utterly embarrasing and we don't deserve to play finals if we play like that. Terrible effort and with the exception of a select few, we were just woeful. Worst performance of the year for mine, and we just looked completely clueless out there with no idea what we were trying to do when in possession, and 355 steps behind when defending.

              I don't think I can be stuffed driving 3 hours each way next week to watch us get towelled by the Saints.

                The worst thing is that we won't make any sweeping changes. Probably Meredith out and that'll be it.

                  Both are finished I think & you can put Rhyce & Marty up for sale & see who bites. Time for a new book in the backs as well as clearing of the mids & forwards. By the way I don't think the style of coaching inspires talented footballers as it is negative & totally pack based. What's more the coaching panel don't pick players for the big ground & they could have given a few of the older players a rest today & played a bit of pace.

                    Loved his tackle on the wing in the 3rd quarter.

                    On your coaching staff point, I think we lack inspirational leaders - you cannot underestimate their value both on and off the field.

                      Parker was on for a quarter & did more

                        Is Blakey still our forwards coach? If so I think we could do with a change there.

                          Longmire is not inspirational you only have to listen to him speak, he sounds almost illiterate, boofy & uninspiring. Very blokey & not at all like Roos who was very articulate, he even makes Sheedy sound educated (funnily enough Sheeds is educated I forgot).

                            I am thinking ahead to Geelong at Skilled.

                              I fail to see any good reason to make the finals this year. Wot expectations could one have?

                              Play lame for the rest of the year, 'play the kids' and get an easy fixture year.
