if that makes you feel better that is fine, however confidence is key with us and already I have noticed, shaking of heads, etc. We are not in the position to experiment with confidence, I really think you think we are still around 2010-2012. |

No dead wrong actually, I know we are rebuilding the whole team, from the ground up, and its going to be a long and perhaps, painful at times process, we have an extremely young team, finding its way, we are going to have good and bad days, some quite bad, before results start coming our way, this is all baby steps now. I mean, lets at least get to say, round six, and see where we are, before we hit irrational panic buttons, im prepared to wait for the better times ahead, and I don't judge a whole season on a couple of ordinary Nab cup games. Just ludicrous beyond belief.  |
Nah mate usually I'd agree, but this is just terrible,. I was thinking gee Marley isn't too bad, and then he kicks from the boundary, too the boundary, and was lucky it wasn't out on the full. Same old same old. 50 doggie plays in our forward line, are we still eating the half time dim sims?

He's not judging on one nab challenge match and neither am I. There are trends that haven't changed and they are there again today.
You may be waiting for a bus that never comes.
Still .....it's just a praccy match....

Yep, you're right.
That culture of 2010-2011 just had to be changed. And we've sure changed it. |
Are they going to sell us membership T-shirts with "#1 Culture" on them? |

I understand where you are coming from, but in the spirit of rational debate - we have gone from a team that played in a Grand Final to now a re-build from the ground up...if it's a long and painful process, I can't see Bucks surviving two more years like this to "grow something"... |
yes, but remember both Clarkson and Bomber Thompson struggled in their first few seasons with their teams, then the good times came. Patience is a virtue, but trouble is, and im an ol pies veteran, not many guys on here, young ones, seem to have much patience, even in Nab cup games.

They took over terrible sides though
This is a regression that is genuinely frightening
Not just this game - NAB challenge, whatever - but the abject lack of a game plan is just amazing. We can't move the footy from one end of the ground to the other.
Taylor Adams, on cue....

Taylor Adams? Everything in that passage of play sums up both Adams and the Club.

Well no DeGoey, Karnezis, Gault, Freeman playing, whereas old hands such as Blair, Toovey, White are playing so don't quite know myself what these experiments are? |

they gotta impress a new coach. and still get some supporters.
there is no intensity whatsoever from our lot and it looks like they just want to get through unscathed.

Thanks John - Bugger. No one has scored for 15 minutes? What's the standard of the game like now - I'm guessing pretty practice match like?
