ok, i have stuck up for the game plan etc through the season mainly because i think that as supporters we should be supporting of the team, coach(es) & the club in general, however now is the time to say what i really think & it isn't anything to do with being upset with todays result as we all knew at 3/4 time the game was over with wwt's coming home with that 4-5 goal breeze, the game plan is very good for afl standard players or when the opposition is not top notch in the sanfl, all our losses this year have been to teams that made the finals so to me the game plan doesn't work against quality opposition & it is obvious it breaks down when pressure is applied, when we are under pressure the move is always panozzo up forward EVERY TEAM KNOW THIS, yes today it was rudolph up forward & why rudolph ? because hentschell had already kicked 3 goals on him, so he had to go somewhere, the plan is also far too regimented with players going on & off at exact times, ffs if a player is dominating leave him on (like james sellar was in last years preliminary final & he got taken off

) & when going forward why not go long, direct & give the forwards a chance by taking a punt & doing that, ffs central at times just bomb it forward which puts pressure on the defence & it continually gets defences coughing up the ball, but to me it seems that the coach (buck stops with him) doesn't have the faith in the players to beat their immediate opponents consistently
mark mickan has taken this club & team from an abysmal outfit into a team rated highly (which i thank him for) yet not rated (& now justified) to be a serious threat when it matters most, so with that presuming there is someone as qualified or even has better credentials than mark the time for him is to go.....i'd throw the bigger bucks at a man like dennis pagan who will out coach most people & will have more than one game plan
will the president & the board make the 'tough decisions' we've been hearing they'll make over the last couple of years ??
i believe cameron cloke maybe playing for us next year to replace trevor cranston....well done trevor on a marvellous career
well done to mickey G & his team, who were superb for most of the game
