Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 3074450, member: 2021"] Honestly, I'm an optimistic person in most areas of life so I always look for signs of progress but I just have not fucking found any. I was always a Bennett fan but our regression and performances in the games that count weren't great, still, there was always some backbone and belief that if we turn up, we were good enough to match any team (except Melbourne). So every game this year I've been watching, with the exception of a few games we have been utter shit in every game. I've been looking for little subtle signs of improvements. Under the previous coach we did a lot of things well, but just lacked in a few key areas. 1 - Spine - It wasn't the worst but there was definitely adjustments needed - It has just been worse this year by absolutely any measure 2 - 5th tackle set and game plans - We used to play the same almost every week and our 5th tackle options were pretty dumb, execution pretty bad - We're worse in that department too 3 - The basics - Set completions, building pressure slowly - Actually worse again 4 - Mentally weak - Well we were always bad there - Even worse this year, we went from 1 capitulation a month to 2-3 a month 5 - Making better use of our forwards - Zilch 6 - Having an attacking structure that doesn't rely on individual brilliance scoring a flukey try? - Even worse, we don't even have a 3 on 2 overlap, there's not a single set play I can say we're decent at 7 - Ruck control - Bennett is famously against the wrestle, Seibold said it's a core part of the game - Absolutely nothing I've noticed in this area either. Honestly, I'm not being negative for the sake of it but if someone can tell me any concrete areas they've noticed that we have improved at as a team that gives them confidence for next season I'd love to hear it because as it stands, going into next year without significant personnel changes I can only see us getting even worse somehow.
