He fails to stand up in big moments time after time after time

Haynes and Dochertys cards should be marked to never play again
We can’t keep doing the same thing as it ain’t working

Curnow has been terrible
If you’re not fit don’t play
If you are fit pull ya head in and make a contest

I've said it for years. If you can't kick a set shot goal, you're not winning games, let alone finals, let alone a flag. Till we sort that out, we're stuffed.

2 wins from the last 11. West Coast and North?

More like a bottom four side than a top four side.

Selection panel and more so Voss under pressure two games in.

If you kick set shot goals - and we've had enough over the course of the last 15 games, you put scoreboard pressure on the opposition and win games. We don't, we can't and hence we're stuffed. Coaching? I would think the forward coach would expect forwards would have a routine, but we don't, clearly from what we've seen. Till we learn how to put pressure on the oppo by making the most of our forward opportunities, we're up against it.

Yet those 2 are cooked…. But they have some mates

Saad running around in circles and then kicking sideways isn’t helping - Williams too.

I’d be attacking through whomever saad is supposed to be defending every time

Saad runs in circles with the ball coz when he looks up there’s nothing on offer.
He’s never been a ‘defender’ and as such he creates alot of movement from back half.
It’s our forwards letting us down not our mids or backline.
Hope Harry’s sniffles clear up and he feels 100% soon as our season is falling away very quickly.

Ed Curnow in retirement would have been a better option than Charlie last night

We’d be even more effed without Cripps, TDK and Weitering.
They bust their arse week in and week out.

A lot of sideway movement.

I’d pick him off though his man whenever I could.

Problem is we have Saad and McGovern who both can’t defend one on one.
I’d be playing McGovern as a high half forward and pushing SOS down back as the 2nd defender

And you’ve added Haynes down there so it’s pretty much weitering left who can actually defend a player when needed.

Wooooffff is Carlton for turnover.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Voss is out of his depth as the main coach.
Matty Wade is a star and deserves more respect from the forum family!
