Inept at the clearances.
Fast ball into their forward line.
Missing shots we shouldn't.

The whole backline is under the pump.
Hooker seems to be making the least mistakes?

Let's see how many times we can kick to NicNat this qtr.

It's still more productive than kicking it to "Nat Rat".

Cannot watch anymore. Saw the Carlton game several times this week and kept thinking that any team with a hint of teamwork would capitalise on our mistakes. Seeing that tonight. Totally clueless and no plan B.

West Coast kicked the highest score to half time by any team this year

West Coast's highest score this year

West Coast will be over 100% after tonight with 3 straight loses to the start of the season

Knights your stubborn attitude is destroying this once great club

6.11 ?? Why are we kicking so poorly this season? For what these guys get paid...

EDIT: Wow. Reimers can actually kick? Remarkable!

This is wak as fu.ck....Hille...can kick...missed easiest set shot I've ever seen. Colyer...just watched a replay of him trying to bounce a ball. Holy sh1t. A farken blind midget could have done better. We are a truly wak unit. Dreadful, dreadful peformance.

Seems like we're getting things kind of together all too late. Too little too late to try and put a modicum of respectability back into the score.

Wellwe did have two extra players. But then again, we are f****** useless.

23 points is better than 123. Mainly junk time goals...still at least they tried. Third quarter was our chance to get back in it but you can't kick 1.11. 2nd quarter killed it. Onto Anzac Day...watch us win. It's our good week!!

A true sign that our club has transformed into a pack of losers.

At least we did finish on a positive note. Now its hard to judge how much of that was them basically knowing they had it in the bag but I did admire the players' perseverance.

The only Losers to see here are the ones that continually bag our great club...
1 thing is needed and 1 thing only - Skills.
There is nothing wrong with the gameplan...
There is nothing wrong with the endeavour...
Our skills are attrocious at the moment...
Turnover after turnover.
Not the coach...- tried different moves and has passion...
Tell me Honestly would Geelong/St Kilda be the side that they are if they continually turned the ball over...
Answer NO...
They run and carry but they hurt the opposition because they hit targets...
We continually put ourselves under pressure with Turnovers...

All that is needed is for us to be able to find the targets. Be able to kick goals instead of points at crucial times...
This will enable the forwards to fire...And yes win games...

Yeah its true. our skills let us down... the sad thing is if you look at the club we do not have a lot of skillful players. When we did win games last year Andrew Lovett stood out. I love Watson, he tries hard every week and is arguably our best player.. but he does not have great foot skills. Stanton arguably next best in line, he also has struggled with foot skills, but is slowly improving. Too many players butcher the ball, and i sadly cannot remember the delivery into the forward line being good for many years. Handballs to players with opponents on them, and an unnecessary extra handball instead of a kick irritates me because its been happening from day one since knights came. For two years Knights had convinced me this is 'our' game plan to run and carry.. I supported this, and when it did work once in every 30 tries it was exciting... but its not consistently working, and goals from handball turnovers and skill errors have never been more evident then in the first 4 rounds of this year.
