This is what happens when the coaching staff allow their players to holiday up the gold coast til tuesday after a loss and average showing last week instead of being back on the track the next day for their lacklustre effort against the Suns. Treating the players to luxuries they clearly havent earnt. Their mindset is already in holiday mode and Im sure many players have already booked september holidays. Their relaxing nice time up north up 3 days before a game set their mindset into this game. No pressure, no intent, no drive, no NOTHING. Bombers had 400 possessions and yet 280 were uncontested. Less than 50 tackles, less than 50 inside 50s and players just hovering around doing nothing. Even Fly is in denial and has been since the first game. All he was saying in his press conference is how it was good for the players to stay up there and its nice weather. They have lost the plot and wont be playing finals this year. You only have to look at their season and see who they have actually beaten. They beat Lions, Port and Crows at their worst and just beat Carlton that were missing key players, even Nth were 9 goals up. Other than that they have shown NOTHING but inconsistencies this year and just poor ball use and play. This game was just messy with so many mistakes and clearly a relaxed mindest. Checkers is done for the season pretty much and its all over for the pies and they didnt even get the engine started the whole season. I cant see them winning many more games this year. Maybe 3.

Not playing with confidence which then makes us look slow, indecisive and poor skills. I repeat, our brains trust has let us down with selections, match ups and tactics. Important not to knock players

I agree, it's all over for this year. We do not have the team cohesion, coaching errors and losing Mihocek isn't going to help. On Nick's Collingwood Blog there is talk about poor coaching and changing Lepitsch's role wasn't a good idea, they shouldn't have changed a winning formula. Also the injuries this year is unprecedented. Something's not right at the Club.

Im telling you without a stable team week in week out there is no cohesion. I heard Paddy Cripps say it on 360 Tuesday night, when there is constant changes in a team the team isnt settled, he then said once the Blues had a permanent mix on the field they played much much better and that was us last year. We get 3 players back then game day injuries happen and two or three go out, been like this all year.

Few players looked good on paper but were dogshit in the picture, Markov was another one who was dogshit like he’s been all year, McInnes needs to be selected and signed asap, the last guy to break out in year 5 for us was Dane Swan, look how that ended, McInnes has a similar career timeline to Swan (without giving a bloke brain damage)

Frampton is a liability - at 200cm and only 1 mark is not good enough.

Frampton is a battler but we need his height in the back line and he needs to be played in the back line always.

Our injuries have finally caught up with us im afraid. We have not just had injuries we have had long long term injuries. You gotta understand last week we got Pendles, Jordy and Chekker's back BUT they have not played for weeks so yes we were excited and thought they could change our fortunes but they need a couple weeks to get back into the groove. This team had chopped and changed so much this year, we simple have not had a stable 22. The young boys as well as they have done they are tiring end of. DC as much as he has had a great year so far he is tiring and im sorry but Kruegs is not a good back up. As much as people bag Mason Cox we miss him severely, he is a good tap ruckman and when resting FWD the oppo's best defender 100% always goes to him. Chekker's is now done for the year, so who have we got to bring in ? Reef maybe ? McStay in a couple weeks ? Maybe to late ? we just dont have the depth that other teams do end of and i mean depth of players that can come straight in have played 30 to 50 AFL games and play their role, mature bodied players. Im not meaning Debutants. Last year hardly none of these new boys got a game because we had a stable team our biggest injuries last year were McStay and Nick Daicos all the othere were a week or 2 here and there. This year we have been ravaged so no point Fans going off their nut. Roght now we have engery in bursts we havent played a good 4 qtr game all year and that hurts us badly. I hope and pray we get Josh Battle coz Moore needs help down there we cannot under estimate Murphy's absence and how its effects Darcy Moore's game. Anyway that is my take. As always i will cheer the boys on until its done and dusted and it aint over till its over 😉 Onto next week 😊 Go Pies

Like I said once before in one of your videos, if the Pies are smart, at the end of this year when it's all said and done, target 2028-2030 as it's next best chance...2026 is not looking good...sides 3 years after playing off are always ranked 7th-17th...years 4 and 5 are extreme one way or another...

Injuries have worn us down. It has an affect long term as the load is placed on too few shoulders. Back to no rucks for the next few weeks. Just too few coming back in time for us to turn this around.
