Ben Hunt is 100% responsible for the game today what a complete disgrace .
He is was given a job today to lead the team to victory but he wasn't in the game at all .
Decision making and leader ship for years has been a failure.
Jaydn Sua for captain next year puts in every week.
But begged to leave and the coach kept him

The guys preparing our players, coaches, trainers, conditioners etc just are not able to get things into the minds of the players. We all know that this game is a percentage one and each positive percent represents a good result than a negative one. How often have we said to play as a team, play as if the game is winnable, play with minimal mistakes, play with purpose, play with the mind being positive and not negative, play better if a mistake is made, play without panic, play whats in front of you, play as if Ben Hunt wasn't playing as he is the shits.

Dean Young has to go. He did not do much with us as co assistant under Mary. He just doesn't cut it as the Defence Coach. I think we should have stuck with Ben Woolf as our defence coach.

I keep saying over and over, well maybe once, that great defence wins games and that is needed in these last games plus the finals. We are just coached poorly in defence. The players aren't that much chop anyway, so if they lack in anything they perform poorly and defence is pretty bad.
Dean Ylung did not keep Hunt

Flanno needs to bring in new assistant coaches for next year.
We should never give long contracts to non-marquee players.
Choosing the right team captain is a big factor to success.
When Hunt wanted out, we should have let him go, with no freight.

Our spine for 2024:
Sloan
Flannagan
Hunt
Liddle

Our spine for 2025 should be:
Tedesco
Flannagan
Wishart
Cook (c)

With Hunt gone, we can afford Tedesco.
Both assistant coaches should be let go.
Sign Cronk as one of our assistant coaches.

Wow I think this exchange and the way the players just capitulated in this game for the first 65 minutes will result in Flanno not extending Hunt. Flanno was hopeful of Hunt being the guy to help steer the team to good things this year, but alas he hasn't on top of the poor defensive coaching of Dean Young.
Shades of his discussion with Sloan a few weeks ago but more animated.

Nice dialogue and hope but to be honest every player no matter who deserves a bake or spray from the coach when deserved behind closed doors. Probably has not had that for a while from previous coaches but even the best have been given sprays.
Back to your point another 2 years is not the best outcome for us nor Benny and I feel Benny will retire end of next year anyway and the club will grant him that instead of being played out in media Benny trying to look for a new contract from 26.
