We do not give him another year. It is obvious he has lost the dressing room. The players are no longer responding to whatever he is trying to do. Discipline, commitment and desire has not been there. Arthur needs to be thrown out on his ear. Point of no return.

The end.

A question for everyone on here and you can be the first to respond, Avenger. There's not a person anywhere who can pinpoint why we are having a train wreck of a season. There's a bunch or reasons put forward by plenty who know more about the game than I, and I'm certainly not going to brush over any of those opinions again. My question is a simple one. Why, in your opinion, has BA lost the dressing room?

It just happens bro. He has his window in 16/17. Now he is stale and needs to go. We are shooting oursleves in the foot if we give him another go next year. Better coaches than him have gone stale. The discipline is just not there and
It is his responsibility. They are to blame too but the buck stops with the coach.

The only way he should stay is if he manages to pull in some highly regarded assistants and actually lets them take control of their respective positions.

If he resigns, then fair enough. All I'm trying to get at is why a coach all of a sudden 'loses a dressing room'. I'm not one for punting a coach or players if it's going to cost the club a packet load then have us shoot the next unsuspecting coach or player(s) because they're not fulfilling the demands of the supporter base. If someone says the coach has lost the dressing room, then tell us why.

The brand of football and the quality we are dishing up is park standard, howanyone can continually make excuses for this bloke and defend him is beyond me.

Gus summed it up. Embarrassing, under 16s defense, ameture.
My issuse was nothin changed. Attack from rnd one was same as rnd 25 and will be the same unless make changes for 2019. In 17 it worked. Coaches then worked out his style and game plan. He hasnt changed it. Easy pickings.
Same happend with Des in end when other teams worked out how to play against their style. I reckon players look disinterested. Perhaps they think this shit doesnt work why dont you come up with something new? Body language is done. Team needs a shake up.

Robinson won three Minor Premierships, one Premiership before that and one Minor Premiership and a Top 4 finish since. BA has made the Top 4 once and never won a finals game that entire time. To compare the two is ludicrous.

He is stale and seems bereft of ideas.

That said, I think some people are just hoping that a new coach will suddenly jolt our team into something considerably better. Not sure it is that easy. Our coaching is definitely a problem but the problems at our club run much deeper.

Off course it’s ridiculous to compare us to the roosters, BA took over a side that had won 2 wooden spoons and then had the 2016 disaster!!

While Robinson has had a stable board / ceo for the whole period he has been there and took on a squad that had just recruited SBW, Maloney, Jennings in his peak and O’donnell
