Let's face it - were 5 of our best 22 down and have come back from WA to play after 6 days. However, really disappointed in Lewis and Vince as experienced players - they should be leading the way

Wagner is not a footballer (well a good one anyway), White is meant to be a decent kick......so they say.

Goody finally moves Hunt to the back line, so that's a tick. Do we have 18 guys out there, cos they have numbers everywhere and in a paddock.

We have been very fumbly and reactionary. Need to respond by playing smart, simple football. Change up the need for tall forwards, put Trac as the focal point down there and tell the mids to lift their [censored] game.

With the players out and game time sequence it wont be a surprise to see us decimated. We look tired and disinterested. White cant dispose and Bugg is an idiot. Wagner trying hard but little support and our forward 50 is around 75 per cent down on scoring power.

Three consecutive 6 day breaks is not "standard". 

Hiow many soft tissue injuries did we have before the Dogs game?

Swans look impressive, getting their mojo back. The depth runs deep with them. Out of all the teams we've played this year, they look a class above. Wouldn't rule them out come September.

On the other hand, as it has been all year, our weakness is our last handful of players picked: Bugg, Melksham, ANB, Harmes all mostly invisible, and/or poor with/around the ball. Stretch hasn't touched it much either, but at least his disposals generally get to where they're meant to be going.

Can't see us getting out of this. Jones, Garlett, Watts, Hogan out, and the rest of them playing their 4th match in 18 games. There's a limit.

If true Misson needs to be looked at. Has players dropping left right and centre to soft tissue injuries.

Lol

Dont think we will win this one.

Travelling to Perth and playing after 6 days and travelling back and playing after another 6 is totally stuffed as are the players I reckon.

Not many other clubs cop that.

I feel like we haven't even left second gear yet. We're competing, but not really. Sydney dominated but are only 3 goals up. We are in this. You lot are crazy negative.

Thats how it works around here. 

OTT positivity when going well and OTT wrist slashing and rubbishing of players* when not going well.

*often the same players who were subject to all the OTT positivity.

Anyway, on we go.

You can't be serious.

I reckon we are cream crackered.
Whether we can pick up in the second half is debatable.
It will be interesting if the fighting Melbourne we are used to turn up (or if they have energy to fight).

I'm not expecting it tonight, the signs are ominous, heavy legs, bad decisions, bad luck, bad discipline, getting smashed at the contest, in the ruck and in the air. Anything less than a 10 goal loss will surprise me.

Ive hardly noticed White or Wagner..

Just saying

Kent.. Kennedy at least used to this level and pace. Disappointed in Wagner so far... who's White :rolleyes:

Kent yes, Kennedy ain't used to AFL though, he was a VFL Player when he was at Colonwood and he;s a VFL player with us, one of the few dud pickups we've had recently.

It's an afl draw, it's his job to keep our guys in tip top shape regardless of the draw.

If we could possess it more (easier said than done).  when we have posession more guys need to provide options upfield and those options should be honored.

Viney just lumped off and went down into the rooms. If he's out injured we are absolutely [censored].

Posted

Right now that full set of 'second string' midfielders are ALL having poor days, and it isn't being covered by outstanding games from our top group.

Fumbles, missed connections, lack of run for defensive pressure, not much forward target power.

We've turned things around from much worse positions after even worse first halves, so not letting myself panic, but wow there's plenty to correct in the half time break.

Melbourne Demons: SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!

Viney limped off just now...

that game against the Blues is starting to look a tough one if Viney doesn't come back.

How can we go through the season with almost zero injuries last year and this year ................... #$@%
