Why do we keep playing so defensively? We are afraid to attack. We lack courage. ...

This game is why.

Play defensively and we lose by 10 points or at most 30.

Attack and we lose by 85.

I’mwatching delayed and after 2 bottles of red, we’re 55 points down. Still holding out hope,

Hahahahhahah we are so shit. I just watched us win the ball from the middle. Every player that touched the ball fumbled it. 61 down now. There is nothing to like about this club. Shut the doors.

Why do we keep playing so defensively? We are afraid to attack. We lack courage. There are no natural leaders to replace Pendles. Sidebottom got his chance tonight. Let the result speak to that. No game plan. A wasted opportunity putting Harvey in the coaching box unless they were seriously looking at him to replace Bucks. I think our entire Football Department should be looked at now. I am very nervous about next year with the Football Department not being cleared out.

Rob Harvey is a placeholder. No opportunity to gain. Who else would we have placed there?
I think he has done kind of OK, given the circumstances. the problem I have with Harvey is that he obviously went along with Buckley while assistant coach. He might be trying new things now, but you can't turn things around in the space of weeks what has taken a decade to create.

Yep, this was the trade off that was discussed at length before Bucks left, along with the effect on the younger players of a whopping loss. Now that they have experienced a belting, it would be really interesting to know which scenario they would prefer to be a part of.

Yep. This is the reason for Bux' gameplan.
Harvey tries to break out and loses by 85 points.
Kudos to him for exposing the rot.

You really think umpiring is based simply on the frees for count.

Give me a freakin’ spell. That’s simpleton speak.

Great outcome.

We avoided the wooden spoon.

Why is it we seem to be pinged for “not 15m” every single week but opposition teams get away with 8-10m passes? Also, how many times in our defensive 50 were we called to play on almost immediately despite our players not moving off their line? I don’t understand. This has been a growing trend this season for us.

Did anyone else see tonight the club’s official Twitter account tweet during the third quarter, when we were down by about 60-70 points “Jack Crisp loves dominating at the Gabba”?

Good grief.

We won’t win the spoon this year, but we’d be favourite going into next year. Bulk of salary cap going to Grundy, pendles, adams, Sidebottom, treloar, Degoey - not much bang for your buck here, and will get less every year.

Before we pick Nick D, better be sure he’s a cut above his brother.
