Older teams get less leeway. If the season is going down the drain, far better to integrate youth that is not yet able to pick up the slack than to continue down the current path.

He was superman last year and since coming back he is more like Al Bundy.
Have we ever had a kid that showed so much promise and then a year later look like delist material??

Stack's still a kid, just turned 20. But you can see in his eyes that the confidence is gone, the swagger is gone.
He's too talented not to bounce back, if he listens to the right people.

He needs to pull his finger out before its too late.
Ive seen better player's disappear out of the game because of work rate and attitude issues.
And he won't be the last.
LOL drop a two time premiership player who cares too much and may just be leading the B&F.
Good call, no doubt Butts was better than just about every Richmond player today. Therein may lie the problem; hunger! He has something to prove and set about doing so and has played three good games. Not only are we off the pace in aggression and run, we are behind and giving away cheap, unnecessary free kicks. I think Buttler's third goal is a case in point - he got it courtesy of an arrogant, stupid push in the back by Grimes after disposal. It was dumb, didn't hurt him just us and any comeback we may have entertained. I think there was 4 similar instances in the match - all resulting in goals.
I fear that we are in the midst of a hangover, other sides are just hungrier than us at the moment. We may get over WCE, but don't like our chances against North the following week. Probably at least 10 different players have been mentioned to be dropped and most can be justified but we need to find the hunger, the drive and dare I say, the humility, we had in past seasons.
Lastly, we shouldn't under-estimate. the lack of contact | connection that the players are experiencing. We are now a club built on culture and connection. I think. that applies to each other and the tiger army! The team may need more of us as well as each other to get their mojo back.
out: Stack, Kmac, Ross, Lambert, Caddy (the old normal)
in: Mabior, Marlion, Naish, RCD, Performing (the new normal)
deisel engines don't work in a drag race
maybe we'll work out how to soup them up for finals, but for now, 4 points are accumulated through twitch fibre, bold, scoring

Out: plenty to choose from.
In: a second ruck.
The smiling and laughing wasn’t there this week, and to me that was a good sign. It’s hit home to them that they are seriously out of form and need to get serious again. Can’t see a win the near future, though. Maybe pick up a few mid season, but it will be too late to salvage a short season.

Totally agree on proper second ruck & it shouldn’t be Balta either. He can come in to play back & perhaps release Broad to play wing.
