What’s your proposal?

If Joel Smith has a decent game tomorrow get him in

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,865]

Right - I'm going to watch the second half of the Deez and the Blues. I'll come back to the convo about this game in an hour or so. 

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

2 carlton supporting morons sitting next to me keep asking, "where are all your supporters?" and one even just made a joke about the Snow

I was like "Mate, you realise your season is hanging by a thread here right?"

Saad definitely looks sore - maybe ribs or something.

 

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

Fritsch and Melk need to start leading. With no movement, the only option for our midfield is to aim long for BBB who is surrounded by 3 defenders. And one of Spargo and Kozzie needs to rove the back of the pack where Saad is floating unattended.

I’d just go all chips in on Weid for the last few weeks. Brown isn’t the answer. Him making a contest but winning the ground ball is mutually exclusive. Never seen a worser a player when the ball hits the ground.

[layzie 33,994]

We just look slow. In all aspects: Running, reaction time, seeing options. When we won the flag we looked a step ahead of the game and right now it looks like everything is coming from sheer hard work. There are some crappy games on the board from most of our players, at this stage I'd only be giving Gus votes.

How do we get Brown into the game? Gonna be hard considering he's always taking the best defender right now. Need to kick to space and run onto it I think. I don't know, it's a tough one 

We need to play on instinct, first option is best. We also need a couple of goals early and the confidence will rise. We are probably not going to hit the form we would like to in this match but we need to squeeze out the win. That is pretty much it. My god we just need the win, please just win it.

Can’t do any worse than BB at the moment.

Brown has been crunched by 2 or 3 defenders in about 20 contests 

If we're continually going to bomb fwd, someone has to do that job

[loges 6,767]

Hope we don't fade out we're not far enough in front.

Oh the irony if Weid were to lead us to the flag 😆

13, our 4th highest. 

But most ineffective.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Brown playing on Young and not taking a mark is a huge worry, he's got him for height, weight, leap and experience, and he's just had a couple of weeks off. there really isn't much excuse for him

I can’t stand our coaching anymore. Even if we win this, bombing long to small forwards like Spargo, with McGovern on him is bloody madness. Kick it low or wide to space. 

We don’t adapt to our selected side at all.

Our handball turnovers must be a world record.

Our disposal is garbage.

We are not a shadow of last year’s side the way we are playing.

Eight minutes left in the second qtr and I watched us switch sides across half back for what seemed like the first time in weeks.

We raced forward and then fluffed it.

I wish we'd had the courage and dare we used to have to switch and run it through the guts quickly.

We seem a shadow of last year's side

The pre game tension headaches are back and slowly building during the game to fever pitch. Comeon boys give us a break for the love of god.🙏👍👌🤘✅

So many experts on here can't see he's continually bringing the ball to the ground. Has he been outmarked yet?

He needs to run and jump at the ball to be effective. Kicks in need to be up in the air sure, just not into outer space before coming down. As @Bitter but optimisticalways says, a little extra penetration never hurt anyone

This is Final style footy at its best and most you you lot need to learn how to watch a game.

You need glasses

[Boots and all 1,000]

Not too many intercept marks from Lever or May, they've just dried up mostly.

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,778]

OMG, can't hit the side of a barn

[ANG13 2,066]

Couldn’t have started worse.

[censored] me ANB, just butchering the footy.

I love BB but ffs the one hand up stuff in a marking contest is not good enough

Spagbol has time and space with ball in hand, he needs to park his ar$e at the fall of the ball

Geez I’d love to see a Dees player storm out and take a grab like McKay
