Why does Goody keep playing him?

Who is our genius forward coach?

How we didn’t seek a new coach at the end of last season is beyond me.

On ya Ed

Thank god for langers…   Horrible game but we are only 7 down.  

[MurDoc516 1,492]

I tell you hwat, any chance Petracca, Laurie, Howes, Van Rooyen, Schache and Chandler don't fumble the ball?

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,533]

Sweet Jesus that goal was a slog.

The whole quarter. 

I don’t want to say much for that half other than I think Howes has looked good.

Otherwise dropped marks galore, sloppy strange kicks to nobody/wrong team, wasted chances, terrible i50.

Yuck.

Blake Howes grew into the game but you have got to punch in humid conditions not go for the mark 1 on 1.

[cookieboc 767]

no doubt the AFL are happy they scheduled these two teams for the season opener. 

[Chook 15,001]

Thank god for our full forward and centre-half-forward Eddie Langdon and Jack Viney for kicking the goals for us tonight. Honestly lads that was atrocious. Surely this isn't the gameplan? Either the players are absolute morons or the coaching staff are. I don't care which but we need to figure it out pronto.

[Demon Jack 6,817]

Hard to believe we ended up winning that quarter.

Howes looks OK.

[ElDiablo14 4,987]

Petraca has to play like Dustin Martin, he isn't at the moment. Too scared to have a crack at goal.

Laurie, not impressed.

JVR needs to do something in the 2nd half.

[Sir Why You Little 36,797]

Somehow we are only 7 points down 

Billings on Please Goodwin you Clown 🤡 

[GCDee 3,197]

Great to see we have fixed our goal kicking and forward 50 entries….

Too many passengers. 2Q thoughts:

- Thank goodness for Windsor

- Oliver looks undercooked

- Gawn doing well

- ANB, Salem and Howes playing well

- Laurie and Schache having a mare

Is not up to it.

Chin shows more endeavour and effort but unfortunately neither of them are up to the challenge so far.  Laurie's a wet rookie.  Chin's had a few more goes.

Chin hasn't performed since about round 8 or 9 last season and only minor impact since returning from his (too) short stint in the mcgoos.

Too easily pushed off the contest for mine.

I can only imagine he’s a training hero, loves a practice match (hey he was good against Carlton last week) but he shows nothing when the game means something. 

[layzie 33,580]

Steven May as good as ever 

[Demonsone 2,021]

Unbelievable [censored] first 1/2

Or kick a major? You too Fritta.

 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,715]

Probably repeating things here, but how the F was Nibblers goal reversed?

Compelling evidence?

All throughout the pre-season the talk that we would improve and be better... So far we look as bad as last year, inside 50 galore for 1 miserable goal. Btw Oliver looks underdone.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,533]

And for the life of me I didn’t see a single finger on ANB’s goal. Not sure how they made that decision so quickly. 

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,663]

Atrocious conditions, play the conditions don't try to be too cute.

This is wet weather conditions play the percentages.

Same problems with our accuracy.

Looked horrible but only 7 points down. Badly need to sharpen up our skills. My eyes were bleeding watching that.

Yeah, this is proof the AFL don’t think things through. 2 teams built on defence. Just what the casual fan doesn’t want. And all because they are too busy worrying about what the NRL is doing, instead of focusing on their own product.
