Totally disgraceful that we are still having to tolerate this type of crap 3 years into yet another rebuild

Bit harsh when our players can't hit a target from 30 metres away under no pressure.

We all know Dawes would have grassed the ball anyway, but at least give him a chance.

Jones showed why he is not a long term option. Helicopter punt, with nobody within 20 meters of him.

[Cards13 9,117]

Just highlights we really do have zero true A grade players in the side. We have some potential ones but none that can change a game during a quarter when everyone else struggles.

Is this going to be A game we roll over or a game we pull it out of the fire? Sadly the expectation is another roll over and cop it in the doosh.

Too early for the Benny Hill theme?

Will we ever learn...

I think if we just handball it another300 times, we just might learn how to turn it over more and put our selves under more pressure. 

You've got it all wrong Gorgs, this is the only way to get better. There's no point practicing anything at training, it's meaningless. The only way to learn to handball better is to just keep doing it during a game, over and [censored] over again. They may have a match KPI that if they can get to 300 handballs during a game they call off training for the week altogther.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

I can't watch this. This is absolutely pathetic. Can't hit a target, ridiculous turnovers. Pure crap. 

[Chook 15,012]

Why is Jack Watts our full-forward while Jesse Hogan is our winger?

[olisik 4,060]

Watts needs to seriously get a look in for a senior leadership role

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

i thought i'd never hear myself utter these words, but i'm happy i am: THANK GOD FOR JACK WATTS.

[praha 11,240]

We've handed them almost all of their entries. Thank God for Frost.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

Fantastic play by Hunt to get the ball to Watts.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

That handpass by vandenBerg to Jones perfectly sums up my ranting about our decision making from a mark or free kick.

[bjDee 1,249]

I know Frosty has had a couple of dud disposals but I reckon he is really switched on today. Very exciting pace and endeavour. 

[bing181 9,218]

Vandenburg. Missed the option up forward, then missed a simple handball. Story of the day so far.

Our tall backs have actually been pretty good so far.  Our mids, on the other hand... not so good.  We all thought it would be the other way round at this point.

[P-man 13,366]

Harmes, Matt Jones and Vanders have been beyond dreadful.

Frost has been huge in defence and thank god for Watts.

That was the worst quarter of football in a long time.

I'd love to know the structure the coaches are trying to implement because what the players are dishing up is childish garbage.

CB it could be the best structure in the world, but the skills are not allowing it to be implemented. VDB takes easy mark coming out of our fwd 50 and keeps on motoring looks for a dish off and misses Jone by 2 meters even though he was standing still and surround...

Watts nice mark and Goal.

[monoccular 17,423]

Are we worse than Toiges yesterday?  (Haven't seen any of either game)

[olisik 4,060]

VandenBerg needs a good stint in the twos

Chooks 2 goals 

[SaberFang 7,151]

Looks like, yet again, Match Committee (aka Paul Roos) failed with selection. ANB dropped for an out-of-form, injured VDB. Going well so far Roosy.

Don't you dare utter the term, "banging the door down in the seconds," ever again.

I've never rated Vandenberg as highly as everyone else here seems to. His disposal is Matt Jones-like.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Hogan is sore after hitting his knee on the post.

Saw parts of Tigs game... Yes, worse. And f me Hogan has hurt a knee sliding into point post.
