Vandenberg, Jetta and McDonald.  We are in huge trouble if these guys are playing this year. Have looked incredibly slow and way past it now.

I know we're footy starved, but let's keep things in perspective given it's a preseason game with a ton of our best players out.

Not time to panic, yet anyway.

 

Basic rule of pre-season: Results and form are only relevant if you win.

Great clubs have depth and cover outs.

We cant.

They also wield the axe when necessary.

We dont.

If you can’t stop the bleeding in a practice match you’d have to be somewhat concerned about our defensive structures. Has been a Goodwin problem since day one of his coaching career. ?‍♂️

We have flooded our list with B grade small forwards and now relying on them to kick a winning score

You’d have to say it’s a pretty poor pre season result when you’re missing 8 of your best 22 in a full dress rehearsal.

Meanwhile the other mob are basically full strength and hitting the ground running for round 1.

I’m so concerned about our fwd line in the early rounds.

Not just missing our entire key position forward line, plus first choice mids (Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw), but the clean disposal that is Salem.

Just too many out there who can't hit a target, and worse, too few who can.

It is concerning, watching St Kilda, it's all about speed now

Makes you wonder what our game plan is this year. Seeing absolutely nothing that resembles a game plan. Cattle aside we should have some form of game plan or we are cooked as soon as we cop a few injuries 

Forward half goals from intense pressure to keep the ball in. Seriously. That’s the plan. Background articles by Robbo and Jake Niall. 
 

I wish those on charge would talk much less. We are all SICK OF IT.

Dont blame the kids. Some of these seniors look like they need parking permits. TMac Harmes Jones aVb especially.

The biggest disappointments from the game so far is no one outside of our normal best 18 putting their hand up and our inability to stick a tackle. The stoppages are not a surprise when you see Jones Jordon and Vanders in against Bont, McRae and Libba but our ability to connect from half back and lay a tackle are a concern.

Not the difference, but doesn't help

Definitely a patented Goodwin quarter when the players and him just sit there and watch the oppo dominate without any resistance.

He's moved Jones back into the midfield by the looks. He was one of our positives going forward as at least he can kick a football straight. 

When do we mention Yze?

I take some comfort in the fact that Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Salem, Kossi, Melksham, Weideman, Brown and co are sitting in stand behind me.

They are killing us in the clearances and waltzing the ball out of our forward line.

i can't see how tomlinson can be best 22 and us be a halfway decent side

Petty has to come in for him, surely. He is just not a good footballer, nor do I believe he will ever be a good footballer. Can't mark, zero presence for someone who is 193cm, zero game awareness and will never be the answer...unless the question is 'name a player we should never have recruited?'
