Kozzi, Salem, Viney all solid

we started to get our structure right in the last 7-8 mins

itll come. 

Brown needs to aggressively attack the ball not just wait for it. 

and we generally need to go in harder and win contested footy at stoppages

What's with all the no HTB calls?

It’s been horrid all round. AFL making a mess of the rules again with random interpretation changes mid season 

Wow. What a lacklustre start again. Bloody hell.

Well we had a chance to recruit McKay or Curnow, yet we decided to draft Weideman.

Thanks for the history lesson 

Eagles have done at least 4 incorrect disposals / throws not penalised.  
 

And why do the umpires  try to coach?  If thee is a block, penalise it and the message will get through.

Really think it's time to go past Ben Brown.  Hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the game but I think he is cooked.

If the rest stopped kicking it behind him or over his head he’d look better

A very useless comment to make 9 years down the track  🙄

Try being St Kilda

Not that far behind on the scoreboard and plenty of time left in this. We'll still win from here, but there are some serious problems we need to address if we're going to compete for a flag again this year and the next few. Our midfield has been horrible this year. Horrible. Our forward line doesn't have the right personnel, but the midfield does them no favors.

Are you sure?

Harley Reid alone could tear our midfield apart. Same old [censored], poor centre clearance.

With all the supply their forwards are going to get it looks dire.

Why do we lose first quarters so often.

There is something wrong with our game prep for sure.

The lazy kicky to players is killing us.

Some of these blokes need a rocket up them  during the break.

Salo first game back excellent.

We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

not simple as that at all

3 weeks ago Giants and Cats were unbeatable and flag favourites 

when we win this game we will be third

For the life of me when will our club ever find a gun , even the bottom teams have better power fwds and our so called A grade mids look d grade

I read your posts and I want to contact the boss of Guinness Book of World Records. If there's a record for relentlessly posting "we're doomed, we're doomed, don't you know we're doomed" posts, surely you've just surpassed it El Diatribe.

Have you thought about one per quarter?

I noticed Kossie leave the ground to bump high again early in that quarter. So much for learning his lesson. Very lucky he missed completely

Wow. Let’s address our slow starts. 
 

and 

 

guess what 

 

another SLOW start 

 

wake up !!!

Don’t bring this positivity in here 😂

The curse of Naarm.

It mostly comes back to the mids getting some two way running into their game and hitting targets as we transition forward with some speed on the ball.

The stop and prop possession / momentum game is a killer for forwards and there's no need for it unless you ARE needing to arrest momentum later in a game or icing / protecting a lead.

Viney needs to get more accurate in general.  Massive turnover king this season which is killing many of our transitions forward.

Let’s see how we start this quarter………I’m not holding my breath

2nd worst quarter for CP in 3 years. Sounds about right.

Petty down into the rooms for unknown reasons. Brilliant. He's made of glass sadly.

oliver is getting blatantly held around stoppages

Teams come in with a plan to defeat us. We rarely do the same. 

Sparrow on the wing like it’s 2020.

No cohesion with the forwards. 

May and Gawn giving nothing. 

Oliver coughing it up. No cohesion with Viney, Oliver and most of the mids.

Shes going to get ugly

What rule changes?

I really don’t rate Sparrow or Bilings
