We're shit

Apologies to all who I've tried to argue the opposite of the above statement to.

We are a terrible terrible football side.

Id imagine with Stanton Zaha and Howlett alone we would have won comfortably today.

Well, you'd f****** want to with an extra man for three quarters, but I wouldnt count ot those three to solve our kicking problems. Which is what cost us today.

I'd imagine with Adams and Wells they would have smashed us more.

We're a work in progress. Need to trade for a gun midfielder and pray for some relief from injuries.

Hird has one more year on his contract and frankly if they don't make some headway next year I have no idea what we have to do. I fear that there is a lot of Richmond about this football club at the moment.

Coaching and game plan is fine.

It's the inability to hit a target 15 metres away that is killing us.

Isn't that ultimately a coaching issue?

Especially since they've already proven in the first half of the season that they can do it.
To me it says the team aren't getting the best out of themselves - coaching issue.

Correct. We're shit. But don't worry, we have Dyson and Slattery waiting in the wings. And Prismall! And Myers! And Hooker! We haven't improved on where we were 10 years ago.

I am actually starting to get nervous now about Hird's plan just to "teach" everyone, rather than making big changes to list. How the f*** can you teach someone like Travis Colyer to kick when he's been playing the game for 15 years and 1 in every 5 kicks is a drop punt? Same for Baguley and Lee. How can you teach Hardingham to kick or not panic every time he has the ball? How can you teach Jetta to be half bloody decent at anything?

We are crap, but at least i never bought into it so am probably not as disappointed as some others are around here.

Coaching is fine? Was I watching a different game? Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy didn't someone instruct our forwards to man up? ****** McMahon was as loose as Pamela Anderson's pussy all night! Make them accountable, then you might see them make mistakes.

I think we will have to resort to technology to achive this - a K chip and a MU chip as what they did to Cartman

what is the game plan? cause i sure as hell don't know.... can't even hedge a guess these days

kick out from a behind we let the opposition man up before kicking out...
kick out to Belly or turn over
handball around until we turn it over
eventually get it to 70-80m out and then just bomb onto Jetta/Davey's head with 2 on them

WHY THE f*** DO WE KEEP KICKING TO JETTA AND DAVEY INSIDE 50??? THEY ARE f****** CRUMBERS!!!!

We had 9 players who managed above 70% disposal efficiency compared to 19. Should've been thrashed (TB & Jobe's efforts probably stopped a flogging) but it was only Norf who will get pummeled by the Filth next week. Totally off the idea of developing our own at the moment. If we paid our top 1/2 dozen market rates & cleared out the rest we could probably buy a decent side.
