"The coach is not the one who misses tackles or drops balls"...

Seems like regardless of how the bench is used, some individuals are playing gassed or injured which probably explains how games can blow out the way they do. It is always the simple errors and penalties that put the pressure on us and then we can’t defend them. I can’t accept that we don’t work on fitness and injuries expose our depth. At the end of the day we just don’t have the quality of players who turn up consistently and make the effort. I like Madge and his passion but he’s not the right coach for this team as they are. Give us a few marquee players and he’ll get the results. I feel like the season is over for us but with a few injured players coming back I think we have a few wins in us. The fair thing to do would be to give Madge the rest of the year, see how we go in our remaining games and try and sign some quality. Trouble is attracting players when the coaching situation is unknown. There are so many moving parts so I can appreciate the tough decisions that need to be made. I have faith in Tim Sheens.
SWS I've been seeing that from our player too. They seemed to be gassed.
I have noticed a big improvement in effort to start games only to faulter late in the game.
The second half against South is a perfect example.
I think as a group they're not used to playing up tempo footy and are getting gassed.
I think if they can get fitter, maintain effort and concentration for 80 then we'll go ok.

Definitely seen more effort which is great but just still too inconsistent. I think the other problem we have is leadership. Jacko has been the change we needed this year and his leadership is inspiring. I think the young guys in the spine are still learning their craft and these positions are often key leadership roles. It’s hard to do both as we have seen with Brooks. Api will bring that next year. As always, Tigers fans are patient, resilient and hopeful 🤪
 
I find it interesting that the “Anti Maguire Activists” are ramping up their campaign at this particular point in time when the club is finally gaining some forward momentum. Is that window is closing? LOL
