Tipping a big game from Oliver 

Worst Game he has EVER played

My kingdom for a contested marking forward. I guess I’ll just go watch Casey play ?

I don’t understand those begging for Brown. He’d be getting nowhere near it, because we are continually losing the ball at the coal face. Even it up at the contest and then we can see what our forward line looks like.

 

 

This is a Petracca, Oliver, Viney problem for sure. Still think Brown would straighten us up and give some purpose to our forward entries.

Oliver needs a huge rocket

We lost this at selection.

Our fwd line has been struggling for weeks and we arrogantly do nothing about it.

BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA

Won't be long and I'm off to watch a mate play rugby.
Will listen to the carnage on the radio and quietly stew.

Good call. Game over now.

Last week bombers weren't  good enough. Gws are class and we're a 5 to 8th team.  Selection forward strategy non existent. 

agree  not top 4 at this stage  may be next year  still need more class players.  Why Brown is not playing has got me stuffed

This is the Collingwood game all over again. Absolute porridge.

BBB probably would have had 2 looks for 2 goals. He doesn’t have a lot of tricks to his game but being a straight kick goes a long way in the current side. FFS, even TMac hasn’t slotted one for a month now.

Oh. DR.D, you're so negative. Pull your heads in you biased know it alls! The players are playing the way you think. We've lost to Adelaide, Collingwood and now GWS. Say Goodbye to top 4 officially. 

I think you need to have a lie down and a nice cup of tea 

Nobody likes the way the team is playing but for god sake we have beaten lots of good teams this year as well as the only two losses 

We may lose - we may not - lets hope they is a very big serve dished up and more energy in the second half some positive crowd support would be good

amazing how lazy our mids can be

Also Viney looks so cooked

looks slow, can't kick it 30m+ and don't even know he's out there half the time 

Picket unsighted again. Should have been rested this week.

Viney not up to it. But hes not alone.

If we dont work out our fwd line soon we will be lucky to be top four.

But its not like nobody has not been saying this which makes it so frustrating.

 

Ruby players cannot play AFL so dammed if I know why he is playing.

Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

Not unlike the round three game when we got them in the second half. Need a big with from a lot of players. We might " most likely we be" be out of the top four in five days time if we don't.

Knowing Oliver he will lift in 2nd half

Missing in action

Kozzie

Viney

Hunt

Brayshaw

And the entire midfield

 Greg Stafford “As far as what combination best suits us at the moment, we’re still trying to find that out"

So let's make no changes. Inspiring stuff.

A smart forward leading to the right places makes a whole forward line function we are crying out for it with Tom doing his work up on the wing

This is why I bang on about clearances.

Our forward line is average at best so they need to get the ball delivered on a platter through a midfield with first use of the ball.

Especially from the centre with even numbers because of the 666 rule.

Losing it in the midfield, Brown would make no difference.

Cause thats how Goodwin wants the forward line to operate.
Scamble it forward somehow and then scramble a goal.

Manufacture an injury to Viney, bring on Vanders and get him to run through Green

It's pretty clear this is not our best mix. Goody, give me Wiedeman if you want Brown to build his game in the VFL, that's fine. Just give me someone with a bit of height and forward craft.

Plain as the nose on your face Stafford. We need a tall key forward to kick the ball to. Tom Mac & Fritsch marking the ball down on the wing & HFF leaves us no targets at all. 

Hard to see where the next goal is coming from lately. Need to move it quicker and lock it in for some repeat stoppages.
