Petracca, Smith, Langdon. 
 

Nowhere to be seen. 
 

Petracca in particular has been a shadow of his former self the past three weeks, or even more. 
 

But our forward line is a joke at the moment. A joke.

I forgot what it's like to watch a team struggle. Didn't miss it. Going to have a drink.

Not much to take from tonight other than we made a hero of mihochek and Cox, and every other team in the league will now fancy themselves against us, and I don't blame them. We're very poor right now and there's not a hell of a lot of time to work it out. 

Ugh.

The concern is that we have seen the exact same thing three weeks in a row. It's all been said before and yet nothing has changed from week to week.

Top 4 is looking incredibly unlikely if this continues let alone even making the eight. 

If you have no avenue to goal, and cant convert when u do get a look, you can't kick enough to win the game, its a pretty simple equation.  

I know the players care but they just don't have the fight and intensity that they did last year. The last three weeks, our opposition has wanted it a whole lot more than we have. 

I feel like if we were going to fix our issues, it would have happened by now.

Amongst all that, they're battling it out - but injuries knocking us round, both in available players and on game day.

But, issue remains the forward line. You're not going to win matches kicking 8 and 9 goals. Not even sure what the answer is, especially with McDonald out for the season (effectively).

The fitness levels of the players this year is pathetic. 

Burgess would be disgusted by this. Put in all the work last year & as soon as he leaves they take their foot off the gas because of the now inflated ego they posses after winning a premiership.

Hopefully this humbles them all & they wake up.

Everything about that game was predictable. Only this time we gave up a 20 point lead instead of the standard 25-30 point lead.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

This has been coming ever since we struggled in large parts against North and West Coast.

We don’t apply pressure and we can’t/don’t want to tackle anymore.

No May and No TMac takes a lot out of this side

Big couple of weeks for the coaches to reset this team. 
All is not lost. But lots of late nights ahead planning

How did this team win a flag!?! Honestly, a bunch of one way runners when the game is on the line. 

Don't worry, Ive already filed a missing persons report for Mitch Brown.

Mitch brown never to play again. Just leave weiderman in.

Too beaten and bruised in that final quarter, and to their credit, Collingwood's ball use cut us to shreds.

Going to be a long two weeks.

It's very unusual for me to show negativity on this site but our form has been extremely worrying lately. We seriously need to get out of the habit of capitulating after being 20+ points up but our forwardline is a total mess atm. We simply don't look like scoring.

Something's not right. The bye has come at the perfect time.

May out hurt but that last quarter was predictable. There is enough talent so can only conclude it mindset

Smith may as well not been on the ground.  Didn't get a single touch.

Look at who we play after the bye, I’m confident if one win. The crows.

Lets get Goodwin back punting and on the beers, our clearance work is shot. 
Harmes, Sparrow and Nibbler fumble more than baby with a bar of soap.

We can’t handle the pressure, we play slow long dumb football. 
Can’t run out games, it’s like we are unfit. We sit off teams and watch them waltz it through our structure (and that never changes, so we are cooked there)

Hope no one got back to back tattoos…

The rolling zone is a steaming pile of dung at the moment.

We have no ability to close down space and shut a team down, even for 10 minutes of a quarter to wrestle the game back on out terms.

Forward craft, play, lack of leads, lack of crumbing, kicking to the same spot far too often.... shizen houzen.

Clarry's one extra handball or two through the middle instead of a quick kick inside 50 is killing this team.  Teams have worked out the bang bang bang bringing someone off the square.  You have to go over and inside 50 with the quick kick.

A stack of work to do from here to get this slightly deerailed train back on track

Our back-line is all at see. Our midfield is continually getting out worked. And our forward-line is not even VFL standard.

All this in the space of 15 days. Hello darkness my old friend.

Gawn, Turner, Petty all shot which gives an alibi.  Jackson shouldn't escape criticism for his poor effort when asked to step up.  Tracc really struggling.  Two weeks to get it right.

    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.
