Forget Benny Cousins it was the Benny Hill show again tonight!

Why do we constantly go sideways, backwards, sideways and backwards again? It's appalling!

Wallace is to blame in my opinion, he is the senior coach the buck stops with him. Forget finals this year I agree with Diggler we need a change now before we waste another season.

Tonight at times when we did have good options up the ground our first instinct was to look sideways. This habbit is now inbreed into our players and only a new coach can fix it!

NO structure, no understanding between players, no team work and lazy players like McMahon cruising around taking the easy options.


Still a laughing stock and another long year ahead I'm afraid!

Totally agree, & dont forget the handball backwards until someone gets tackled trick

I like to call it "dead end" or "brick wall" football. We constantly find ourselves with no where to go.

I know it's only a NAB cup game and couldn't give a stuff if we won or lost, but our style of play is shocking and hasn't improved since Wallace arrived.

We have no plan, direction, support and are the worst shepherding team in the league. So many times players just stand around the play and spectate instead of shepherding. I wonder whether we practice this at all at training.

Our Skills. Where does one start? We constantly miss easy targets by hand and foot and you'd expect this to improve with time but it doesn't.

It's not looking good for Wallace IMO. The Ben Cousins circus has distracted the fans for the time being but he better pray that things improve dramatically soon.
 
Agree with above. This style of football has to change and Wallace has to do it. Unless the players skills and footy brains suddenly adapt to this type of gameplan or it changes, Wallace wont get his contract renewed.
 
Underlines the importance of a key forward to straighten the team up. Was almost comical at times the zig zag approach to goal. To execute the rolling zone game plan that appears to be the strategy it is important to have players who can kick the ball effectively. We have many who cannot.

I think it's going to be earlier than expected to assess his coaching and future. IMO, he's gone because in his 5th year, nothing's changed.
