Oh well...

We won't see Finals until the next Olympics.

No Pendles for next week.

[Jezza]

This match sums up our season!

Dumb, inconsistent, ineffective, signs of potential but ultimately not good enough. For some strange reason, I'm not surprised this happened.

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

Ok lets put it this way... lets pretend we're in 2010 again... and those great feeling on that day, great day... now close you eyes and think of your worst nightmare future we could possibly have and just minus a wooden spoon...

Yes people we are finally there.

[perthmagpie]

Change. Is. Needed. The time has come.

[Deja Vu]

Where's the hope? Where's the sense of excitement?

I was happy to back the coach but it's been 5 years. We just aren't showing enough and you're left with the feeling that this squad coached by someone else for the last 2 years would be better right now.

[Monco Matt]

Predictable result. Had a feeling we would put in a pathetic performance. This team has no consistency and the skill level of a suburban football club. Never ending butchering of the football, the fumbles, the missed handballs, the shocking turnovers by foot, the horrible decision making, the dropped marks, the loose tackles, the poor defending, the lack of forward pressure, the mindless playing on and stuffing it up...it goes on and on and on. Face it folks, this team really isn't getting better. Poor sides are capable of a good win here and there but we have got nothing to give on a week by week basis, our performances are just all over the shop. Horrible, horrible stuff. For shame!

[Culprit]

The best thing is Hardwick will hopefully keep his job. If the coach isn't responsible for the inept performances this year, then who is?

[Dave The Man]

Aish BOG by that Far its not Funny

The Rest was Disgusting.

Pathetic Effort with Disgusting Skills and Descion Making

[Raw Hammer]

When senior players in Reid, Howe and Brown turn it over time and time again and fly got marks instead of spoil, what hope does this club have?

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

Grundy was ok

[Collingwood Crackerjack]

Anyone who questions Bucks is a negative "perceptive fellow" who hates a champion and life in general!!!!!

A poor performance by most, although Rup came into it late, and Aish played very well

[thompsoc]

so many structual problems.
so many dud players.
such crap disposals from so many players.
such a crap coach.
And what a great player Blair is!!!
i like aish and wills this year.
And that is it.
Cox has done ok for a second year player.
And that is it....nothing else to get excited about...nothing

Just wondering if separating the players into mids, forwards and backs and having line coaches for each of them is a good idea. Reason I ask is because the not one of the three groups seems to have any idea of what the other two are doing. Mids get the ball and have no idea where the forwards are, and forwards have no idea where the mids are going to kick it.
Since Rd 1 we have nearly every week commented that they are disorganised, and that is still the case. There is no structure. The mids have no idea where Cloke is and Cloke seems to have no idea about where the mids expect him to be. Blair should be scouting the pack for Cloke to bring it down but if Cloke is not bringing it down then Blair goes ball-hunting.
For two very experienced backmen, Reid and Brown need their bums kicked for the elementary mistakes they make. Frost was dropped for less. Lordy, you could write a thesis on how not to play the game and use tonight's match to illustrate every point.
Not just appalling, but embarrassing. Like watching the Little League.
