Only when I have to be, Dan.  

There is obviously a massive difference between an attack on Christian directly and an observation re Demonlanders views on his 'break out ' game - if that's too nuanced @Wiseblood let me walk you through it

Riewoldt.

Gotta find the off switch when next we play.

Frawley used to be the off switch...as much as many like to dis him.

Hogan was a statue tonight. Does he ever lead? Arguably the worst three goal game ever.

Should have thrown him in the ruck in the last. Watts was stuffed and Hogan needed to get into it.

It's just a good thing that you don't pot the posts of others.

Yeah true RTG, and i am only shitty because we lost against an inferior side. (nothing personal as i rate you as a poster)

Still doesnt excuse another loss to an ordinary side.

We didn't get beaten by Richmond, we got beaten by riewoldt. Also what is up with vince. he is just turning it over.  Hogan back to berating his teammates tonight.

It's not, but thanks for the offer.  Time to move on.

Our decision making from marks is still so bad.

JKH took a mark, was being held and tried to play on while still being held.

Madness.

Yeah I remember that one. Was ludicrous

Wow,

I can't fathom the lack of 'support' on here.

how about I come to your work on Wednesday shatter your coworkers shoulder, and then break another ones ribs, all before lunch, and then Scream at you for not being 100% productive.

I'd report you to HR

We're all a bit touchy Ding. No dramas.

Richmond won't play finals.

Yes they will. 

Imagine if...

We took D. Martin instead of Trengove; and

We picked J. Riewoldt ahead of Frawley 

 

A couple of draft bungles we don't often talk about...

Nice save.

No. We COULD have won with better set ups, players quicker to the ruck. How did they suddenly have space fwd ?

No apologists please

All attributable to fatigue.

 

no unreasonable negative pains in the ass please.

Bulldogs proved this last year, far more injuries than us but still able to win games.

They didn't really....not in this situation anyway.

They were in a similar position to us against the Cats during the season. A couple down on the bench.

The Cats ran them over quite easily in the end.

You can cover injuries if you have depth but you can't cover game day injuries if they happen so early in the game. Particularly the ones we had with the team we went in with...

It was only a matter of time before Richmond got us tonight.

Frawley was an AA defender, and his departure netted us very good compensation.

Trengove was destined to be a gun, but never got a run at it due to injuries.

I wouldn't class either as "bungles".

Toumpas over Wines, now there's a "bungle".

We set up.poorly

 

Im just as [censored] as everyone & another missed opportunity

1 Reality is our wasted opportunities going forward

2 Poor turnovers continue to cost us and too many easy goals as a result

3 Massive injuries and being 2 down and no ruck plus you lose Watts field work...very hard to cover

4 I think we are cursed...Losing 2 rucks within 2 weeks...We must be jinxed!

Some of the stupid comments re Petracca playing his second season really?? Get a grip people!

There were positives but im gonna go on a rant because i can.

That was the worst 3 goal game i have seen with Jesse Hogan. Thought he cleaned up his attitude over the off season? When Garlett was streaming forward Hogan kept leading back when all he needed to do was lead forward to the ball carrier. Garlett was out on his feet and barely made it to him simply because he wanted the quick easy one out the back. 

Wake up Jesse!

Been saying it for 18 months now but Tom McDonald is not the answer to our backline. He is a 2nd tall defender not a first. I have lost all confidence in our defence and when the general is TMac then we have serious issue's.. Im scared already what Daniher eill do to us next week. Steven May has to be our number 1 priority.

How good was Hibberd though?

Dusty would have been out of the game by now under our old regime. We would have ruined each other.

Id still trade Riewoldt for Petracca and Brayshaw. Everyday. When we win a flag with them both out of the centre with Clarry you can hail my genius.

 

Terribly unlucky with injuries. You can't win two men down for three quarters unless you take every possible chance when you have a full contingent.

We didn't and paid the price. Very disappointed because we could easily be 3-2, even 4-1.

Nat Jones another shocker. Watts crucified in the ruck again. Very sorry for Jake and Smith.

Why doesn't Hogan lead anymore? He plays his best footy leading up the ground and doubling back. Tonight he stood there like a statue calling for it on his head. I can remember two instances where he had a paddock in front of him and instead of leading st the ball carrier he stood still and called for it on his head. He's so lazy sometimes! Coaches should've thrown him into the ruck in the last quarter and he would've had heaps left in the tank while Watts was out on his feet from busting his ass again. I wish Hogan had Watts work ethic and resilience.
