Ah well at least I have the comfort of a top 4 draft selection to come which may well turn into top 2 once the season is done and dusted.

We had a glimmer of hope in the third quarter, but we were well beaten for the majority of the match.

I suspect significant change is coming at the end of the season. The club is in a directionless rut and this can't go on into next year.

Don't think John Cena will be rushing back to watch the Pies again.

It's time now to see what's in the cupboard. Smith and Broomhead should never play for us again. Buckley has to resign today. Anyone who still defends him are up themselves for mine.We have no game plan, no system going forward, he is selecting players who are not VFL standard let alone AFL and the president has slunk away to piss poor to face the inevitable truth the he and Buckley have us on the doorstep of our 3rd wooden spoon. Thoroughly disgusted with what I saw today and They obviously don't need memberships dishing up dogs vomit like that so they won't be getting anymore of mine.
I at least want see an effort but they are either tanking or really as putrid as they played.

It's time

Time to put cox on the park ever game to see if can improve his marking skills are very poor, nice falcon though.

Time to also play Keefe should have replaced Howe today

Whilst I hope Buckley can make it as the Pies coach, we must get a new skills coach

Also time to get a friggin big broom and review every position at the club

Our worst coach since Tony Shaw - why didn't we learn from that mistake. I can only surmise that we deliberately played that bad for draft picks or the team has lost total respect for Buckley.

There is no benefit for us to win any more games, not that is likely even if we tried the way we are playing/coached. I hope all assistants will be told their job as well as the coach is up for renewal and they can re-apply if interested. Buckley will be told don't bother reapplying.

I hope we give all the youngsters a decent crack over the rest of the year and everyone else can have "operations" and be unavailable for the rest of the year.

Time for A cleanout, starting with senior, offensive and defensive coaches. We are just way too easy to score against, and I'd like to see us play very boring defensive football for the next six weeks,.

Our midfield was abysmal for the second week.

Thought Crisp was pretty good.

Not sure if Shazza is a player.

I think we've blown both pick 10 with the paper hamstring guy and pick 6 with Shaz.

Geez Shaz is slow. I mean you can not be quick and get away withit. But he is slow. 200cm Daniher out sprinted him to the ball.

We need to play more kids for the last 7 weeks.

But we are two years away from doing anything.

Me either.How ever he is possibly a very confused person at the moment. left out of that side in favour of Ramsay and Smith he'd be very uptight and unsure of what to do.

Hopefully whatever happens with Bucks, at this point the club will tank. We really need those good draft picks.

It's simple
A complete clean out required
The Buckley move along with all the coaches and recruiting has not worked
Start now and plan for 2018
Play all the kids
DO IT NOW
