Not a great performance today but considering the conditions it was a decent win.
Hard to judge a peformance like that today because the opposition was terrible at times

How can South supporter comment on todays results and make any sense.

Today was my D day on Fuller and now IT IS time for him to GO......

60 point plus losses is no longer accepted.

[Brodlach]

At least give him another week

Agreed ! It was a time for the club to get behind the coach and make a statement .

After today , you saw what statement they made.

We are in crisis and someone needs to do something and something very soon or it will be too late !

[Bunton]

Yer, let's sack another coach. That's been a real recipe for success in the past

Another dismal showing.

Not playing with any attacking instinct at the moment. Lacking confidence and mucking around with the footy, especially around half back. Too often I witnessed a flat footed Panther call for a handball in a poor position rather than applying a shepherd for his mate, and more often that not the call was honoured. Played right into Norwood's hands. 29 inside 50s is appalling, as is a season average of 66 points a game. Its alarming how far backwards we've gone this year.

Anybody know what happened to Brooksby? Bass would have been handy in hindsight..

Some of the kids showed a little bit. About the only positive. Hartigan named best (again) by the club.

Must have counted legs. Awful crowd.

IMHO South have stacks more ability than they put together ,, IMHO, a big Ronnie fan but to be honest (sorry mate) his old skool stuff is done. Quality list, they are just non-responsive

I also agree with you, it has never done us any good.

But, ....But if you are happy to see us get our arses kicked every week then thats your choice.

I can tell you many many of our supporters and members this year, all 404 of us are are not going to put up with it much longer, either Ron gets results or he gets the Arse.

After near 4 years to get the "list I have always wanted"......it is working well so far , isn't it ????

Exactly, its not just as if they have tapered off a little they have gone backwards at a million miles.
Some of their performances this year resemble the very dark days down there.
I really thought they were heading in the right direction a couple of years ago

If Norwood did not have a nap in the 3rd quarter it would have been a train wreck for South. Their hand and foot skills are terrible.
Mark of the year to Phillips standing on his opponent's head in the goal square, hung there for an eternity too.
"80m" set shot goal to returning Gavin Hughes ..... beautiful long kick straight as an arrow.
Good to see some players coming back from injury and contribute, also Campbell 2nd best for the Reserves. Newton a week or two away as well.
Redlegs did enough to win but played some good patches against a jaded, non interested opponent.

Ronnie Failure , definitely a one hit wonder..... South need to move on ASAP for the sake of the comp especially as they have the $ to say goodbye with no one critical after 4 years!
Strangely like Melbourne isn't it?
Bye Ron, hello Bamford

IIRC the only time in my lifetime South did well was under Neil Kerley.
He had a reputation around that time for inviting those he saw as slackers to meet him behind the Grandstand.

Hayden Bunton Jnr. had a bit of success there but no flag.
If after 4 years this is as far as Ron Fuller has bought the club i.e. backwards then the situation is hopeless. Four years is not jumping from coach to coach it is recognising something or someone is not working !

I hate to say it but this has been a horrendous season that is just not getting any better! The way some of the players have been playing and some of the efforts given you would have to come to the conclusion of not playing for the coach! When I say not playing I mean they are just not showing any faith by their actions.
Nearly every game I've been to this season you just get that feeling that all is not well.
I never thought I'd say this but the sooner coach and club part ways the better! Don't let it fester until the end of the season as it will not help one bit!
Last year we were not great but at least we were right in most games we played, this season is way worse and it just has to stop!!!!!!!!
From what I've heard we stand to lose a few players at seasons end so any inaction could cost us big time.

Struth! I didn't know he was THAT way inclined! (mind you, he DID spend a fair bit of time at Genelg)

[CENTURION]

Aren't Crabb & Stribling looking around right now?
