After we answered some questions in the last few weeks, but given the quality of the opposition, many questions were asked of us.

Looks like the real Dees stood up today.

Let's see whether we have any guts in the last qtr. If they can kick 6 unanswered goals, so can we I guess, but I can't see it based on Q3.

When other teams get clearances against us, they waltz it out.

That was exactly like the round 1 game against West Coast.

For a good clearance team our clearances are often terrible.

i guess all we need to do is kick 6 goals with the wind. ah if only Melbourne had some balls.

Flat track bullies

How many passengers today? We rely way too much on to few. Our ability to constantly make dumb decisions and school yard mistakes is elite though.

Don’t get sucked in by these pretenders. We are choking big time.

C’mon. We know who the pretenders are. 

What the [censored] is going on without our [censored] structure after a behind??

Why are we conceding the kick to the pocket???

Why are we [censored] conceding the next kick to the d50, then the wing, then the forward line.

That's structure. Goodwin can go and get [censored] you stupid robotic sociopath. 

Outside run killing us..

Fancy that huh..

Goodwins coaching has been putrid. Beveridge has wiped the floor with him.

Melksham giving away a putrid 50 is all I'll remember from this game.

Goody put him in as Captain a few games beach that tells you allot.

And, often, it feels like we are always slow to react when we do win it.  How often in this game have we won it and got it forward, only to have 1 or 2 Dogs players get there in front of our forwards?  We can't even play in front.

Boys I've given umpire number 1 and absolute bake.... Piece of [censored] has no clue kinda like how our players have no clue how to play 

We had more inside 50s that quarter.

10-12.

They scored 6.1 from 10 inside 50s.

I think 5 of those 6 goals were from their defensive half.

Their stars continue to get too much of it: Macrae, Smith, Hunter, Bontempelli, Dunkley and Libba are their six leading possession getters. 

Oliver has only had 10 touches, Viney turns it over too much, Brayshaw's regressed back to closer to his prior 2020 form, Petracca's off. Our A-graders can't get into it and theirs are finding it too easy.

If you had to imagine how we were going to lose this game, that quarter was precisely it. 

Beveridge's coaching has been on point. The switches have hurt us. Swapping English for Bruce worked for them too.

The Dogs are a genuine top 8 side with their best 22 playing. This was our test. That quarter was a massive fail.

Outplayed and outcoached. Cannot see a single positive unfortunately.

Any chance we could play with the intensity of previous weeks?

Save a miracle its all over and I dare say the season too. Drinking the bathwater again but shame on me for beating them to it.

Unfortunately exposed as a team just entering the top 8 for a week and then throwing in the towel. 

Full credit to the dogs who wanted it SO much more than us and put their bodies on the line all day and crunched their tackles and were prepared to run and spread at all times.

Tmac needs to go.

Pickett not ready.

Hannan never enough.

Harmes a pretender.

Weids never kicks a bag.

Max out is a huge factor.

Hold your head up May.

The dream was  fun for a week. Whens cricket start?

Harmes HAS to be dropped. What has happened to him. We cannot carry him anymore 

Some of us have seen our supporters getting carried away repeatedly after beating up on garbage teams only to fold when we come up against a half decent side. 

 

Told you so.

Looks like we are the Collingwood this week

I'm so [censored] tired of following a [censored] team, A predictable team, a team you can trust to embarrass you after teasing for a week or two. It doesn't matter what list we assemble, what coach, what jumper design, what blazers we give to players or what fitness guru we employ. We just won't ever be good. I'm so [censored] over it

Can’t defend kick ins apparently. Way to easy to go coast to coast. 

On the back of a score review. Absolutely putrid!

back to our absolute worst, lazy, slow, disinterested, crap kicking for goal and poor decision making. Why the hell Tom  macdonald did not have a shot at goal from 50 out is beyond me. he is supposed to be one of best kicks. Fritch seems to find new ways to miss the  easy. 

Dogs ran rings around us time and time again, they see that getting a man free and the overlap is where we are the weakest because of players are either too far away from their man or dont chase hard.

Has Goody ever heard of dropping a number behind the ball when a team gets a run on or getting most of the forwards to play higher up the ground when the winds not in your favour?   Play one tall and a small at his feet around 40 out and the rest push up to crowd out the opp and help out around the ball on the outside....not 3 or 4 players all going for the same ball....when will this club EVER [censored] learn!??

Too many slow, dumb footballers in this team. How many times do we have 2-3 books going for the same ball then they get it on the outside

Yes everytime

Would like to know how many tackles we had that quarter 

That’s how you coach Goodwin. Don’t just sit there with a stupid look on your face.
