Such a better effort than last week.

Tyson, Jones and Vince were enormous.  Gawn was good in the ruck and I felt like our backline played pretty well under the circumstances.

Our small forwards, however, were poor again.  Kent was better but I felt like Harmes had minimal impact and Garlett was woeful.

Trengove and Dawes will also be better for the run, and both make us a better side.

8 day break until we get to beat the Pies for the second time this year.

Mate Dawes was our second worst on field behind Garlett. Get your facts right and look at the stats.

Ben Ken would've had a much bigger impact then Dawes if playing.

Thought frost had some good moments, watts was very competitive. Dawes will be better for the run. Competed well on a rubbish day. Trengove got better as the game went on. Tyson Vince and Jones were great, but just couldn't get going in the last quarter.

We know we are getting closer which while frustrating, looks good for the future. But I really felt we needed to win that for reward for effort. To destroy the reigning premiers in clearances and contested disposal is a positive. Just run out of gas.

Stats tell everything, do they?  He competed hard and provided a contest all day.  He might not have clunked a few but I didn't see him drop any sitters.  The Hawthorn defence played him well.

At least I won't be making any ludicrious assumptions like you do.  Maybe if we played a Robbie Flower in his prime, or brought back '94 Ox and we would have won?  Please.

Chris Dawes cannot play again. His inability to take marks directly resulted in 4 goals that I counted. Absolute disgrace.

Look I don't know what you watched, he presented well in a horrid day for tall forwards. We went to him and he competed. Not sure if you noticed but hogan gawn and watts all didn't take a lot of contested marks...

So…how long till we can start blaming Trengove for our losses again? Because I'm getting ready to start finding a new bunch of scapegoats. McDonald and the Umpires are getting boring.

It will be Dawes until he can take a mark

Love to know goals from turnovers...

Dawes didn't cost us the game, but pedo marks a few and kicks the odd goal. Pedo must come in next week.

Back line looked small...

Their 3 last quarter goals resulted from direct turnovers by us.

People saying Dawes played bad obviously don't know much about footy. 

If Tom McDonald want to earn the big bucks he needs to pick up his game dramatically. 

Tyson and Vince know how to play wet weather footy.

Tmac should never try and pick the ball up in th wet. So so poor.

Jeffy should never play if it's wet, Stretch and Harmes were not great either.  Can Hogan actually tackle? He is worse than Watts use to be, he doesn't even try and tackle.

When he was being tackled and arms chopped? Should have got at least 2 important frees

McDonald can start by picking up the footy, unbelievable how he is so bad at it.

Could see clearly that Tmac fumbled when a player was running at him from the front - footsteps more than once -man up and take the hit and the ball Tommy .

Hate losing to that [censored] club!

Effort was there & played great footy, but dumb mistakes continue eg not punching & trying to mark in the backline Ffs that should be non negotioble, too many touches need to get it fwd faster in the wet!

Exp counted Average games 125 vs 63

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
