Nate Caddy YES SIR.

Will be a generational player. The one to drag us from the doldrums.

Sit back and enjoy the show for the next 12+ years!

The thing that stood out to me tonight has been happening more and more as time has gone on, and it’s the constant refusal of our defenders to take the game on. Time and time again the ball gets into the hands of a player with clear ground in front of him, and every single time, instead of running hard into that clear ground and then kicking it long upfield, the player stops, maybe trots a few steps, then handballs sideways to a player who is under greater pressure. Result, no speed into attack, no chance for the forwards, and an inability to score more than 60 or 70 points in a game.

That’s coaching. And it sucks.

Who else is throwing money at him to coach?

Perhaps the AFL could fake a NT team and send him there?

So youn reckon that was horseshiit, what do you actually expect from the list and amount of players we are playing that have barely palyed. Im very curious

Luke Jackson is a thinking man’s Darcy Moore.

Not having a crack at him but he was completely dominated in the ruck contests. It’s not a knock on him as Jackson is quality.

Just saying it’s hard to be competitive in the game when Serong and Brayshaw are getting silver service all night.

Sounds like it was done by detached celebrities over zoom during COVID

We aren’t going to develop Cox, ADJ, Gresham, Guelfi, Lav, Hobbs, Jones, Menzie or Perkins into better players, that they need to be.
Ship them off within the next few years as soon as we can.
Obviously Shiel & Goldy will go.
We need to find quick players as we are seriously slow.
We are also have a very soft group of seniors, both physically & mentally.
Most of our youngsters debuting this year have shown something, the last thing we need is for them to consistently learn bad habits from our decrepit senior group.
We wont trade McGrath & Redman due to contracts, but I’d hope they we’re shopped around too.
Don’t see it with Prior.

I reckon Roberts tackle will help his chances of winning the rising star another bump. He had a great game but that tackle topped it off. He is reeling in Ashcroft every week going by the odds. Roberts should be favourite.

Stop turning the ball over under no pressure
9.9 kick farking straight you farks we had plenty of shots to make the margin closer then what it is
Running around like headless chooks trying to tackle and apply pressure

How good was Caddys torp. That went a country mile.

Menzie has had his papers stamped. So has Laverde, Shiel and Davey

They are all uncontracted for 2026

Observable summary:

  • Not a fast team
  • Don’t spread well
  • Other than 2MP, nobody can land a contested mark
  • Brad with a handball first, slow gameplan, subsequently inviting pressure
  • Every player looks terrified of physical contact
  • Most players are unable to lay a tackle (HMs to Setterfield and Roberts)
  • Kicking skills are generally garbage
  • Can’t deliver inside 50

Everything is fkn broken. The list, the coaching, the gameplan, the injuries - all of it. This club continues to find ways to regress as far as it can.

In fairness, it has meant we can finally play Merrett at half back more.

Best of all none of the players give a fark cant wait for the next player post match saying how they will learn from this

You’re a bad man

I can assure you these tendencies run in the family, having observed Chad Cornes and Tim Rogers after a You Am I convert back in the day.
