The new game plan they are trying to implement as result of the ridiculous rule changes has changed the team from a band of marauding Vikings into a bunch of incompetent circus performers.
And I’m not even sure that I want to see the Tiges execute the new plan effectively anyway.
If I wrote down what I would like to do to Hocking I would be charged.

Not sure that would have made the difference in the end, but yeah if you’re going to take them you have to nail at least one of them.
I was more annoyed at Dusty not taking the set shot.
Yeah it is. I don't watch the game for tactics and it's impossible to see properly on the TV anyway. But at a guess I reckon Hardwick might've thought he wouldn't have a team left for the finals after watching us collapse last game and tried something that involved picking our way through without the run and spread. We didn't set teammates free with handball because they weren't in position to take advantage.
We're a small side physically and any opposition will cause us problems if they can lay enough effective tackles. But it wasn't just that, we had to hack the ball forward because we constantly found ourselves at dead ends.
One of the worst games i have been to in my 26 years of following this club.....i can't complain as the last 4 year's has been amazing so it softens the blow ......
And when the ball unexpectedly comes over the pack and lands in his lap he is never ready for it, and fumbles what should be an uncontested mark for a turnover usually. For a player of his age, experience, 3 x Flag player, why is this happening over and over. Surely you anticipate the ball may come to you, watch it and are prepared to take the mark.
Looked very average player tonight, got spooked and punched balls that should have been simple marks.
Horrid night at the G tonight, miserably cold miserable football and a fairly miserable crowd. There were a number of vocal ferals in my area who quickly turned on our players from the 2nd quarter onwards, and i found their vitriol quite embarassing.
We were pulverised in the ruck, Marshall is a gun, would love to have him at tigerland. Combined with Ryder, they proved to be far too experienced for Mabs/CCJ combo. In fact all of our key position players were completely outclassed bar Grimey who was solid. It was a tough night to mark a cold and slippery football.
The whole side looked out of sorts and lack instinct, and we've lost our spark. Shai Bolton was rubbish tonight, Cotch and Lambert aren't having an impact, and our whole midfield is looking tired. We we're caught out a number of times on the rebound after a turnover with players. I'd be keen for Dow to get another run to see what he's got.
I still think we'll bounce back next week but i'm losing a bit of faith for this season. I went into this game feeling extremely confident of a win tonight and now i'm left bewildered at how bog average we seemed. Perhaps the players thinking ahead to the hot shower after the game moreso than concentrating on the game itself? We should still make finals and be a threat, but maybe this isn't our year.

Chol hasn't got the heart and desire to play the game.
About 4 minutes in the game he puts in a half assed effort to stop a Stkilda player and then takes 3 steps to chase him and then he breaks into a walk.
The final straw was in the 3 qtr we are busting a nut to go forward.
We are on the wing looking to go inside 50 and whos walking through the centre square like he is on a sundey Afternoon picnic?
Mr Chol.
I can put up with unskilled but not lazy

Yep. We already know it won't be the worst debut we'll see this year.
