I bet Bucks 1st words in the presser will be

'Well... we were nutted at the clearances'

Yes congrats to Pendlebury. Real class as a player and a person. The greatest modern player ever to wear the Black and White (and that includes the coach).

It's time for change

Coaching change
President change
Playing list change

I'd go down the ladder rather than watch this group of players be perpetually mediocre

This team is going nowhere.......lets be honest.....it's over.......

Immediately sack Harvey and Sanderson and we might actually have a chance next week....leave it bucks and Boyd. It couldn’t be any worse with midfield-forward transition.
The areas of the ground that they have been in charge of the last two seasons have been well below standard.

Grundy has been a shadow of his last few years and I really hope that he’s carrying an injury because if he’s not....

Same issues time and again plague the team and Bucks does well to identify what they are, but the coaching panels ability to rectify the problems is not apparent.

IQ played very well as did Daicos.

Hopefully the team surprise us next week by sticking closer to their opponents than what they have so far.....space has never kicked a goal in the history of football.

Do you know what?
IF the roles were reversed what's the bet PA would've beaten us.
That's what fkn hurts!
They had nothing to lose but top spot, yet they flew up & gave it to us good & proper.
That's what league leaders do, we on the other hand couldn't even lift for Pendles 314th - this is WHY we are shit, plus having numpty as Coach doesn't help!

see shows the difference...we expended two draft picks bring in the likes of Treloar (two picks 7). Beams (two first rounders). Port took the picks to the draft Rozee, Butters, xavier duursma. Great plYers

Two of them are great players and then you have Treloar and Adams. They’re classic, overrated Collingwood stars. We pay them a fortune, so they must be good. Adams tries really hard but doesn’t have the talent to turn a game when it matters and Treloar has never been a damaging. He racks up useless, pointless possession, week in and week out. We simply cannot win a premiership with those two in the side.

All that money and all those draft picks spent over years building a midfield of runners and the only two you’d select if you were trading in at another club pressing for a flag would be Pendlebury and Sidebottom. The others are just not up to it.

We weren't nutted ....we were slaughtered 100%
Worst centre clearances I have ever seen

My thoughts exactly. To which I’ll add their hand passes generally hit the target whereas ours just seemed to be often just a half a metre off.

It's because we thought we were well ahead of ourselves both times. We're like a junkie looking for a quick fix.

Watch us throw the kitchen sink at Jeremy Cameron.

Yep, I'm with both these comments. We didn't lack endeavour, but Port handles the ball more cleanly and precisely.

Winning centre square stoppages then over-using it until we turn it over. Massive game plan fail. Repeat after repeat.

Fair enough. We need a CHF and a FF. I mean real KKPs. This experiment with mids is hopeless and we'll never win a premiership without a big man in front of goals. End of story.

Off to the gallows for us, get that death mask ready.
Take those Ned Kelly boots off Stevo.
Ned'll be turning in his grave tonight!

We aren’t far off being a great side once we get rid of the deadwood. Look what Hinkley did. He made big calls on certain players a couple of years ago and now it’s paying off. We played off for a premiership in 2018 and then got reluctant to make those calls thinking we were almost there. It was a big mistake allowing players like Reid, Greenwood and Varcoe to keep going and not trading Phillips and Scharenberg at the end of last season. Ultimately that cooked our fate this season. We’re not dead yet, but we’ve left it too late in the season to play the young guys coming up and we’re stuck with the older guys against WCE. At least we managed to get games into Ruscoe. That will hold us in good stead next year.
