Dee Zephyr 19,322 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 T Mac to the backline!! Can’t do much worse. Change it around please. 72 points against them at the half. 1
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I've raised concerns about our game plan since the first half against Geelong in round 1, and it has not improved. Inefficient and congested going forward. Open players everywhere when defending.
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Got one half of footy to right the ship. We have the cattle, but do we have the ability to put it all together? Umps have been an absolute disgrace. 3 goals from dodgy 50 metre penalties has killed us.
What 18,810 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 We are being toyed with by a a team thats won 2 games. On our supposed home ground. What a disgrace.
Lord Travis 10,819 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 We can’t play the MCG. It’s as simple as that. Our defensive zone is too high and our kids don’t work hard enough/aren’t quick enough to get back and help out. We don’t deserve to play finals this year. So disappointing. 1
Bombay Airconditioning 6,510 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Obviously we can still win but the question remains how are we even in this position.
Chook 15,072 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Truly one of the worst halves of footy I've seen from us since the Neeld era. Our gameplan is dreadful.
dazzledavey36 56,348 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 We are a joke.. Hogan and Petracca need to pull the fingers out. 1
KysaiahMessiah 725 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Yep, the backline isn't our problem...lol. Stkilda has scored 72 points in a half. STKILDA. Edited July 1, 2018 by Travis16 Spelling
bringbackthebiff 658 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Obviously we should’ve playing better, but this umpiring is a disgrace. 1
Old Bear 388 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 For how long do we let Lewis build his Superannuation for defending with all the physicality of Andrew Gaze

Bad call giving him a game Petty is not the reason we are losing. No crumber. No midfield field run and connection from the wings and dumb players going for the same ball (air and ground) is.
Purple77 1,025 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 That was a fairly ordinary half of footy by us. Expecting us to come out with a different tac from half time. There is no way the players will accept a loss today, and I'll back them to put a poor half behind them. Only 15 points... can catch that in 5 mins. I still back us. 1
GawnWithTheWind 604 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 What does Joel Smith provide? How can we select him and Petty in a crunch match... Goodwin continues to lose games on Thursday night selections. We are pathetic. Losing to a team that should have lost to GC. 1
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Watching this live and it is glaringly obvious that we are slow. Have no crumber/pressure forwards. We are way to close to esch other and letting them stay outside the contest and for it to be fed out to. Same old mistakes. Mids are being slaughtered and care more for asking for a handball 1 meter away than supporting their teammate. Selection was pus. Officiating is pus. Oir skills are pus and if it wasnt for gawn it would be 10 goals by now. 1
YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,831 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 [censored] disgrace all respect lost.
Bombay Airconditioning 6,510 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Playing with 3 tall forwards and turning it over at CHF when our mid size forwards aren’t marking it.

Mr Steve 3,820 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 You can blame the Umpires as much as you like but this is our own doing. We are not being accountable we are just not being smart.
Diamond_Jim 12,778 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 from the AFL site ... states the obvious but also shows how our game plan can so easily be picked apart: St Kilda has retained possession from 73 percent of its inside 50 entries, compared to Melbourne 53 percent. The Saints have retained possession from only 42 percent of their kicks into the forward 50 this season, which is ranked second last.

No midfield field run and connection from the wings and dumb players going for the same ball (air and ground) is. Of course he isn’t. Never said it was! Just noting that he isn’t ready for footy. Looks overawed and nervous with ball in hand and not reading the ball in flight. Havent watched enough VFL to make a call on this, but surely Frost is ahead of him?
