How many times do we have to get freed for high tackles before the players learn to tackle the body????? Bail managed it twice in a couple of minutes!

Jones is playing well - the attack on the ball is there by most of our players we just need a lift in intensity and some class. Trengove, Grimes, Watts have hardly touched it. McDonald again, doing well down back.

its simple..if we are putting players behind the ball we have to be patient going fwd to allow our players to get fwd.

Yep we are panicking too easily and our disposal has been poor (the two are likely related).

Nathan Jones you just burned an inside 50.

We are decidely hopeless at constructiing an I50 that results in a mark and a set shot.

We are the laziest, most concentration-lacking, bunch of unorganized players I've ever seen at AFL level

thats Tom?

Lots of out of bounds on the full was our problem in the corresponding game last year. I reckon we'll have about 7-8 this week too.

Yeah Tom haven't sighted Joel Mac.

Would be nice if we could spot someone up inside 50. We get to about 80 out and just bomb it on the boot. Like watching juniors play.

Embley in the hands of the trainers with a shoulder problem.

Another out on the full. I know its a narrow ground but this is just stupid.

Joel Mac. Takes on the tackler and loses.

There's another one.

We're up to 3 now.

If it's not a garbage midfield performance it's a crap forwardline.

God help us.

Bloody hell Selwood with a goal right on the intersecting paint of the boundary and 50m line.

Forward line can't do much when they have the ball just bombed in the air. Pinpoint some passess and get some numbers around the ball and we might be in danger of kicking a repsectable score.

To me, it looks and feels like the life has been beaten out of us during the preseason

Do we ever apply a "hard tag"?? Scott Selwood running absolute riot.

Frees are 10-1 to the Eagles. Shouldn't expect any better over there.

Joel Mac goes short to a contest inside defensive 50.

We are extremely lazy. So much for that 'big' pre season. We don't man up, we don't Play in front and we have no second efforts. These are the basics and we can't even do that. Don't worry about a gameplan until we can do the little things.

Joel - can he ever hit a bloody target?

Seems that the game plan forbids them to do that.

Good effort from the deez!

Would love to see a stat on the number of frees we have given away for high tackles that quarter.

Joes mac terrible.

Whats with the false aggression and giving away high frees.

watts is out of his depth in that half back role.

Frawley is a shadow of 2010.
