Tmac may be in strife with his eye

Yep. Doesn’t look good. Maybe a scratch to the cornea? God that would hurt so much ?

Well we are still a stupid team with no skills.

I mean, seriously.

If we could hit targets properly we would be in front.  We get it to the wing and then either miss the target or [censored] fart around with it and turn it over.  Horribly frustrating to watch.

You can see we are trying to change things up, but as it always is with us, skills and turnovers kill us.  I'd like to think we can fix it up but with a slippery ball it makes us look even worse.  Plus you get that sick feeling in your stomach when they get it off half back, turn inside and they have runners everywhere.

Great chase down by Vanders.  He needs to find another gear other than chasing / pressure though.  Lets hope its coming...albeit maybe gradually.

If he gets there he's a VG asset / bonus

GC were a 3-4 goal better team that quarter. We look completely uninspired. There's no identity to what we do. GC have a clear goal and they are bullying us.

So many stupid turnovers and fumbles that are turning what should be uncontested possessions into losing contested possessions

We look like we are at least trying to compose ourselves. Langdon playing well. We look better with Oscar down back and lever looks to be more free has taken a few intercept marks

First quarter of "trying to adjust our pace". We should have been doing it for years but assuming it was a real focus this week, it hasn't been bad. They still need to work out when to run and when to pause. But it's a good start.

We can't kick, can't handball and sure as [censored] can't mark. What an awful football team

The minute we turn it over they are all over us like a fat kid on cake. Everyone has worked out how to play us. Pressure. Force the turnover (or do nothing and watch us fluff a kick). Run hard the other way. Score.

Harmes can't even bounce the ball and then fumbles when we are out. Lever can't defend Weller. Gawn's stupid punch. We only have ourselves to blame. We are a bottom 2 side unfortunately.

Not enough really skilled players, especially once it gets forward of the centre. Breaking down on turnovers.

Plenty of GC pressure only adding to this.

Also zero composure. Again.

Yep ?

Everytime they do this idiotic hot potato hand passing or throw it on the boot we lose it

GC goals so far have been a bit flakey though

Chaos football suited our level of footy IQ. Unfortunately other teams have worked ou how to counter that style and exposed us as having more than our fair share of dumb as dog doodoo players.

Disagree.  In fact, I reckon we were the slightly better side... except for the turnovers which killed us.  If we cut those down by half we would be two goals in front.

Thats mostly team structure and playing to it.  There's a mid or two who are getting sucked out either too wide or too forward instead of guarding the corridor a little more*.  *Amatures best assessment from the bleaches without seeing behind goal footage.  Could also be an [censored] up assessment.

The other disappointing stat are the tackles.  While it's been a more open game, having just eight for the term is pretty poor.  I think our general pressure is okay, but we need to stick some more.

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him 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.
