Where so far off our best footy it’s not funny just need to hope we get over the line somehow. It really is hard to believe where reigning premiers and second on the ladder at the moment. 

Yup, said in a group chat, we have 5 games coming up and can easily lose them all. We haven’t been great all year, we have had great qtrs etc and got wins, but overall been good, but not great and if we play like we have been, including today, we are making up numbers.

Love it.  Everyone of the 65000 members can see it!! Goodwin??? They both need a fuc@)$$(t rocket.  

Because he's Goody mate lol. Gotta look after your mates out there.

The Bedford selection is just utter bizarre 

[Jaded No More 68,974]

BB is playing well. It’s not his fault we don’t have a player in the team who can hit him on the goddamn chest when he’s leading at the ball…

Fritta i would drop you if Tmac wasn't injured burnt another player in the goalsquare.

He is doing some selfish things of late.

I think his last two errors (pulling the kick from a set shot and playing on to handball to a teammate under pressure) was him trying to make amends for that early burn.

Just needs to play smart..

This is the truth. Talk loading, injuries and other stuff all we want but we qre simply not playing well enough right now.

Yes BBB was on the move clear of Aliir and Salem kicked it short i50 to Aliir's advantage 🤷

BBB getting marks in the wing and CHF. Need him inside 50 kicking goals. It’s our lack of Tmcd or a CHF that’s a killer !!

Weid or JVR would have been a better selection than Bedford.

It’s a shame cause his skills are sublime.

He’ll come into the game in the second half…. *casually crosses fingers*

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

We are butchering the ball, and I think the harder ground is making then ball bounce with higher variation because of it. So many fumbles from both clubs, from players who usually have clean hands. I don't understand the poor kicking though. So many unpressured kicks missing targets by a long way.

Our forward pressure is back on which is good, and our forward system is at last showing early signs of organisation, but it would be good to have someone actually taking a contested mark for a shot on goal. 

Sparrow has such a huge upside, but he is quickly becoming a momentum killer. Some of his decision making is outright poor. 

I thought Harmes, Trac, Langdon & Kozzie lifted well that quarter.

He’s also playing a heap of time in in the middle of the ground

edit: by middle I mean wings not on the ball

Liked Tomlinson today. Playing well.

Kozzie's been electri

Sparrow and Rivers working hard.

BBB doing some good things.

Dislike Petracca playing like a millionaire.

Mindless bombs into forwardline.

Where was the free kick to BB?

Maybe @bing181 can explain? You're big advocate for his selection. 

I never advocated for his selection, nor for any player for that matter. I tried to understand the reasoning behind his call-up, from those who are paid to make those decisions. 

[BDA 22,955]

JJ rock solid again

[The heart beats true 18,177]

That’s elite running from JJ

[layzie 34,146]

Just lift 

[The heart beats true 18,177]

Every time BT says ‘Great kick’ it misses the player by 10 metres

Don’t know how you play well when you have a certain amount of injuries and are loading. Form isn’t a magical thing. It is often explainable.

BT waffling on about the grass

[DubDee 26,191]

BT the geologist

FMD!

[Demonland 73,266]

How are they able to easily kick goals from 50 and we won’t even have a look.
