Thank God, really didn't need that to go in.

Better quarter

Outscored them by 1 point that quarter

mmmmmmmmmmm

Our lack of composure off half back is frightening. If we fix this, our forwards look a class above their backs.

This. If not for their poor accuracy, this game would be over. 
 

I don’t know what’s happened to us but we are definitely no premiership threat.

Kozz 10 disposals @70%, 1 goal, 2 score involvements, 4 tackles but yeh he’s the problem guys.. 

Salem's disposal has been far worse and yet he's still built up as this elite kick.

Midfield plain and simple. They get it and go fast, we get it and wait for numbers to clog our forward line before we proceed.

You just know Viney is going to turn it over when he gets it.

Viney right foot is an automatic opposition inside 50

We deserve to be down forty points.

Some accurate shots at goal have kept us in it.

We shall see if we want a flag very soon I guess.

Umps have been all over the shop. Again.

Billings needs to get going.

Kozzie a ball magnet but needs to hit some more targets.

Jvr better than Bbb.

Rivers and Salem been good.

Bowey is one of our bravest players about.

He can't kick on his right foot.

He's an AFL footballer with 200 games experience, get a better result in that situation.

At this rate barely making the numbers, lucky if we can finish 7th or 8th.

The non free kick against Reid for holding the ball really annoyed me. Thats holding the ball against 99% of players. 

You can’t adjudicate the rules differently because you want him to keep taking the game again. Thats not how it works.

Disagree can’t stand them, they have no idea.

how do you stop a sling tackle? Blow the f%%%%ing whistle early.AFL has no idea how to adjudicate to stop injuries.

Yes we [censored] the bed, but stuff the umpires too

 

 

Midfield smashed once again. I don’t give a rats about stats, but our midfielders and flankers have no idea how to win a contest, play a system that results in marks and goals and we spend all of our time chasing the opposition. 
 

if the opposition is able to use their system and have good skills, we are lost. 

Only 13 points down so well in this game.

gotta sort out our clearance work and our disposal

Trac looks like he could grab this game for us and get us home. 

come on dees. you can do it.

Is Reid just allowed to try to break tackles?

The Age blog is saying HTB officially dead

 

Goodwin should query it in the presser - open question - “we need to talk to the AFL to understand the obvious rule change which was not communicated to us that here’s no holding the ball. We all need to change our training. Because Harley Reid should have been pinged numerous times . So the rule has changed or he Kompramat on the umpires”

 

Ross L might do that but not us (sadly , because it’d be very funny. We’re too nice)

McAdam is Garlett 2.0. He'll kick 5 goals when we pump teams by 10 goals but he'll get found out against decent opposition.

At the moment everyone is being found out

The tag of Salem of being an elite kick is one of the most overrated things going on in footy.

Example A was him having the time and awareness in the centre to hit up a simple lead up forward and instead it goes over our forwards heads.

Ok. We get it.

Are you always this negative on game day? It’s wild.

BBB was just an illusion, his start of the season. The guy can't keep his body right for a half season of footy.

This is a very poor effort. The wjole attitude of the side needs to improve greatly afte 1/2 time.

That was pathetic. 

Hopefully we get a rocket and the boys come out remembering that we’re supposed to be a top 4 side.

Not interested in the complaints about the umpiring. It’s not why we’re losing, not why we’re kicking everything straight to them. Not why a first year player is creaming us in the middle. 

Need to be better, a lot better, and beyond this, work out why we’re such a frustrating, inconsistent team with wildly significant differences between our best and worst. 

This is shizen
