This has to be by far the worst game I have watched all year.

We are absolutely [censored] atrocious.

mmmmmmmmmm

perhaps we are tired... no wait.. that was the 2017 excuse

This year it's injuries is the buzz word and the year before the year before it was we were too young

Goodwin needs to do something about Oliver... 2 touches in 40 minutes odd of football.. hello Coach

Salem 30 metre kick directly to Coffield's chest!!!

 

Can't handle the pressure

Where is the midfield? MIA.

It is purely the disposal. We get it and turn it over.

We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile. 

 

Both teams have had horrible skills, Saints have smashed us in the clearances, and that's where we need to start to turn things around.

Salem and Jones are having shockers.

Clarry tagged out of it.

Baker is poor around the contest.

Forward line is still disfunctional.

Yes and no. Yes disposal is crap but we’re not really setting up fr easy movement of the ball either. Everything looks hard. We’re SO [censored] ... structures, skills. So hard to believe we’re back here again so fast.

Schoolboy errors at this level is just embarrassing. I doubt we'll win if this awful brand of footy continues. Absolute shizenhouse

Salems always been overrated.

what a pitiful example of football. missing passes, handballs, tackles, no chasing.... actually its pretty much like we have been playing all year, so i guess we get top marks for consistency.

The more I watch us this year, the more I think that it's not the injuries and the interrupted pre-seasons, or the 6-6-6 that has caught us out. It's the lack of having a runner out there the whole time. The collective footy IQ of this team is about Auskick level and without an onfield coach (ie. Runner) we're literally clueless out there. We are a joke.

Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

Gee we are lucky to still be in front. 

Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss

They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. 

Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 

3rd quarter will be interesting.

I hope we spend more time trying to drown our players with weird training exercises instead of working on our skills.

Maybe dropping bricks on their heads might work this time...

Getting wacked at the stoppages and on the outside.  Nothing new here as we send too many to the contest and don't maintain outliers for the receive.

Forward line cactus ... inside 50 efficiency 45% to a whopping 63%.  Marks inside 50 .... 3 to 10!  To be expected given no T-Mac but we have the worst worst forward list (or equal with GCS).

If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

Also are we still playing a spare behind the press?? I cant tell on the tele.  If not why not??

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
