Pretty high on Harmes

Harmes gets tackled high - play on.  Will cost us a goal.

Yep.

Showed the replay. Harmes hit around the neck twice.

Oliver is on another level.

Harmes was assaulted, no free kick.

Agree with all of that.

I think the knocks on the Mac's disposal is valid in some respects, but, you only need to watch Tom clunk some great marks across half back to see his value to the side.  Oscar will only continue to improve as well, and when our midfield provides the right support they look good.

Oh God yeah re disposal. Especially brain fade silly disposal like the seams last year.  No one could doubt that can be an issue.  If they could clean that up they'd be two of the best in the comp. 

We will get flogged now. 

One of the worst piece of play i have seen from off.

Weed is not read, Petracca [censored] himself and panicked.

How does an umpire miss that high tackle on Harmes from 5 metres away?

WA based SEN callers have Oliver BOG at half time

also said that in discussion with Mish Cowan that she'd picked Oliver as a future Brownlow winner. 

Good eye for talent, Cowan, shame we lost her.

I agree, should have been a free to Harmes for high tackle, rebounds and costs us a goal.

Good to the umps have improved in the west

Lols at those who think the problem is a 'small forward'. 

Execution under pressure. 

That is the difference between teams tonight.

Tyson. so rusty.

Hunt playing pretty well

Weideman needs time at Casey, we need Pedersen.

That was an absolute garbage decison from Trac. We need better than that.

Oliver is BOG atm.

Our delivery into the forward 50 is abhorrent. 

Garland got the memo - play on as soon as you get it - I like it, he's playing well.

Oliver a gun but caught out by Priddis sneaking forward on him...will learn.

Viney doing what I said he does on another post, trying to do too much, poor decision making...not sure the captaincy is going to help him this year.

ANB still VFL level at the mo, Harmes probably the same along with some others.

The real concern is the ball getting over the back to WC forwards (mainly Lecras)...this happened continually against the Saints and cost us badly...not good that we haven't adjusted the game plan to stop this.

Not being at the ground it's difficult to see where the problem is coming from, maybe turnovers (in which case I can't blame the game plan) or maybe just poor positioning (a game plan or learning issue) but it could be just the game plan.

Another one Rjay.

I would add Weids to the list of VFL level players up there. He is still a pre-season or 2 away from having an impact. I would bring Tim Smith in ASAP.

Would be 5 goals down without Oliver would win b&f if he keeps this going all year 

Even Jordan Lewis is missing simple targets at the moment.  It's the only way the Eagles are scoring right now.  We dominated the last few minutes and couldn't make it count.

Oscar again

Half time check -

Did Oliver really just get 20 disposals in a half? And kicking more than handballing, too?

Tackle count is dismal.

Jake Spencer being effective up forward is interesting.

I don't have as much of a personal obsession with McDonald and Garland's errant kicking as some (many?) do, but it's not a good thing that they have 3 rebound 50s each when nobody else has more than one. That's not how it is supposed to work back there.

Also, HA HA Hawthorn.

Turnovers and rebound is going to cost us against the good sides. We will not make the 8 until this is rectified.

BBO??

This is a joke

Tidy up our disposal and we would be 25 points in front.

Getting killed on the counter attack which is not really surprising with the zone defense we have. Going to see a lot of it this year.
