He’s being played out of position.

He needs to be played as a forward or on a wing, not in the backline.

Yep agree. The kid is very good up forward but due to injuries/form etc he has to play back. It sucks cause we need him forward. 

Just an ordinary team. No pace, little cohesion. Midfield runs one way. Apparently good disposers of the pill like Fritsch, Lewis, Melksham, etc can't hit a target...

How forward and back line coach need to go, Massive question marks over Jennings, he was supposed to be the mastermind behind how we play.  Absolutely pathetic behind the ball and going forward.

We are the better side. Just butchering it once we go forward. 

Fix that up and we win. 

This is the Essendon game all over again. Completely dominating the ball but slaughtering it going forward and giving away easy goals on the defensive side.

I am tearing my hair out here. The good news is that we’re dominating in the ruck still. It could be we hit another gear in the second half ala the Sydney game. We can only hope.

Petracca eating pizza at 1/2 time?‍♂️

swap tom with fritch that may give a bit more stability to our backline and give us a player who can handle membrey its not is if tom is doing anything up forward. and fritch can kick goals, given the running shambles of our forward line a faster fritch maybe a better option

 

Nothing new from this club who find a way to disappoint, will call it want play finals on this form!

Also [censored] Tim [censored] Membery is surely the Kent Kingsley on this decade. FML!

Membrey is a good player. Edit: then again, so was Kent Kingsley in his prime. 

Any of the under 18 aust team stand out as a early draft pick because we are likely to have one

In their defense, 3 of the expected first picked back 6 currently aren't playing.

True, no argument there.

We have 1/2 a game to fix our season. I shall reserve my bile until after the game.

Chaplin the [censored] spud, get him out of the club.

Yep backline coach   has to be accountable.   Lever and may will be handy down back but season prob gone by then.  Disappointing

Agreed.  Tom muat go back.  Adding nothing up forward and simply getting in the way of other more mobile forwards on a lead etc.  Fritsch either to a wing or HF.  If HF then Melk out to a wing.

1. Goodwin can't coach

2. Spargo should never play again

3. Tom McDonald is as bad, if not worse than Oscar

4. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TRADED JESSE HOGAN

Wish you would R.I.P

Lever and May would make no difference at the moment, we’re so far ball side of our defenders.  This is pathetic coaching/structures. The same issues for 3 years, we rectified it last year it’s happened ned again this year.

agree season on line next 2 quarters.   If  1/4   its over     2/3  still in it

We can win this

Need to brutalise them in the contest! And make it count on the scoreboard,  FFS

I feel like maybe I am lucky that I can't actually see this game.

We're less than three goals down, Demonland is erupting like bubonic pustules, the radio commentary are muttering and shaking their heads, the stats are saying we're just about the worst in history for prevent an opposition inside-50 turning into a goal, several veterans are being frankly inadequate, Jetta is sore, and a bunch of young players who not so long ago we would talk about as the completing pieces of a premiership puzzle we are now talking about dragging.

All sounds truly horrible and almost hard to believe.

That's the pain, right there. It is just hard to believe.

I just hope we claw back a bit of grit and manage to get through to a win so we can keep stumbling on through this season with something still to aim for, once (hopefully) we do find form.

Disposal is the main thing, but we are so slow. They can man up or create space on the fly. We are a yard behind very time. Massive worry.
