Right now the Hogan May deal looks very ordinary we don't have the talent of either.

I'm going to be watching petracca and t.mcdonald like a fricking hawk tonight 

[binman 44,706]

Personally i'd consider playing Trac out of the square and make him a leading forward. Tell him his job is to kick goals and give him the license to go for it.

Too slow for that job he would not get away from the defenders and he is a poor kick for goal.

[Dr.D 1,771]

agreed. As far from the goals st possible. I'd put him centre square to touch the ball a bit more

Unless he can run and find space and his team mates can kick the pill on to his chest, with bullet like precision, CP would be completely smothered and left standing on the rebound.

Yep !!!!

Trac is something of an opportunist player.

There's an art to being a lead up forward. He doesn't strike me as it.

Even than, he's be too slow with bullet passes as he would have 6'-3"  or 6'-4"  reaching past him defenders to punch clear. and again once ball is on the ground he is still too slow on his feet

His hands are quite good, so IMo, he should be rotating in the middle with Oli.

Absolute twaddle, don't know which bit some on here don't get, we have a team of 22 that has put in two poor performances, one where the midfield failed and were duly criticised,  the other where the midfield started to get it together but the team connection was horrible

We have players stuttering to find match day form, not from an injury point of view but pure and simple form

 

 

Are you still denying we had a horrible preseason? You said all summer that our injuries and surgeries were of no concern, despite half team being in rehab.

0-3, bottom of the ladder, terrible percentage, dysfunctional all over the ground.

What an insipid performance, from a club that has done nothing for almost 20 yrs. I knew this would happen when they inflated their egos in the off season. Let's evaluate last night's team.

Jones- done nothing this yr , runs one way poor disposal

Viney- underdone no mongrel

TMac- out of form can't get near it

Max- improving

Melk-- big head needs to stick to the basics

Oliver- down last night needs to hit the scoreboard.

Petrracca - bighead needs to stick to the basics

Brayshaw- great player only runs one way

Oscar- CASEY

ANB- fringe player loved by coach.

Hunt- Wingman likely peaked

FROST- Casey 2nds

Weids- improving slowly.

C Wagner- fringe

J Wagner-fringe

Nev- hindered by our ridiculous zone defence needs one on one

Lockhart- to early to say

KK- Not fit looks lost.

Salem- doing his best.

Harmes- doing his best

Fritz - improving played out of position

Hibberd- not enough run looks out of form.

 

The same defensive issues were around last year. We were scored heavily against by good kicking teams who kick through that defensive zone or that's what they call it.  Surely we couldn't be worse one in one like the Swans, Afterall as soon as they get it they just bash it fwd like we do.

Our fwd line, just a clogged up mess of players competing for the same ball.

Last night reminds me of 2013, letting a team kick more than four goals in the first quarter is just unacceptable?

Gutless performance what team do we play into form this week.

Disgusted

We always have terrible preseasons.
Injuries galore and the players never seem to learn anything from season to season.
B grade medicos and coaching dept.
B grade players.

I want cups

[Fork 'em 7,052]

What we want and what we get are polar opposites.

You want cups ....... That's funny in a dark way.
