Game over. We got nothing - too many players out, and no real quality depth. There's no intensity, no line speed, no effective tackles, no structure in attack or defence - this is putrid and not worth watching.

And yes, Loiero is VERY overrated.

with Olam out injured we need to have Welch and NAS on seperately. We lack the physicality once they are rotated off and teams get the upper hand with their mindset but also muscle.

I am really liking what Warbrick brings even getting caught out with a man down.

I questioned him last week before looking at his stats. I don't know if overrated is the word, I just think he delivers something totally different than Kenny did, no ball play and hasn't been around a decade so needs to have head down bum up attitude

Without going back to check that might’ve been as bad as any half of footy we played late last season? Honestly the score line flatters us too.

Without resorting to hyperbole, that might have been the worst half in the last 20 years. And Bellamy only has himself to blame, he's recruited poorly and hasn't developed a decent young player since this ridiculous year by year contract situation of his got formalised. Sign up as head coach long term or lima lima lima duck off.

I'm not sure what the stats say about Loiero, but he fails the eye test in my opinion; mentally switches off too many times with poor handling, giving away penalties, and making poor decisions - he does have some positive moments, granted, and maybe he just doesn't stand out when he's doing his job OK/well, but he certainly does stand out when he's not.

Can we just skip ahead to when the other half of our first grade team are on the field and we (hopefully) start competing at a decent level again?

I said last week Young has matured physically, I want to reiterate I said Physically not mentally. FFS

Looks like bellyache is reading this forum, NAS and Welch coming in soon

I dunno, it's been a poo performance, but I watched the 2008 grand final, so far, this isn't 'that bad'

Just getting physically overmatched every tackle. Just bizarre to watch.

Fair call actually. I'm not sure there's another though.

Don't get me, this is bloody ordinary, but there's still time to find some redeeming performances
