We are not good enough this season I fear.

I am starting to fear the same thing. Our worst is as bad as any, and our stock standard footy appears below Sydney etc... Our best is still as good as any but we are lucky to produce it for half a game. And our field kicking remains our Achilles heel. 

[DeeSpencer 25,339]

Nice if Fritsch to take the week off again. 

He’s a deeply unserious footballer at the moment 

[Roy Boy 373]

Aren’t we meant to be winning this game easily?

Again we aren’t as good what many believe we are.

Mid table team.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,216]

No need to panic folks.

We will win this by 20 - 26 points

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

 

 

It ain’t the umpires

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.

It is how it works though

and club presidents stand by, mute

At the moment everyone is being found out

Except Petracca. Goes to the middle and wins some key clearances, goes forward and kicks goals.

On both sides there were numerous tackles that should easily have been htb.

It's been poorly umpired all season

[whatwhat say what 22,531]

our midfield is one- / no-paced and the way they move away from stoppages with ease is a bit of a worry

it's more or less a carbon copy of when they dominated flagmantle

Been well held again.

I expect a few from him soon though.

Tends to impact games in busts.

At least I hope so.

Careful on here..

You can't ever question Fritsch on this forum.

Absolute liability today.

[Demonsterative 3,020]

Geez, imagine if JT and the club were able to get Harley. The kids is a star

[Demonsone 2,029]

Any chance Goodwin tags Reid , our field kicking is poor, our contested ball getting smashed 

[dazzledavey36 54,043]

It's actually fun watching Harley Reid bully our mids.

Kid is a genuine star.

[leave it to deever 17,506]

Centre clearances nine to five against us 

No wonder.

I’ll keep questioning him and 1000 of his cheersquad will tell me I’m wrong. Vest next week please. He could be handy in a last quarter

[DubDee 25,412]

Kozzi and Salem killing it.

And we are now not focusing on contest which was our jam.

Gawn, Tracc, Oliver and Viney are all poor kicks.

Who are our elite kicks in the midfield???

[Demon Disciple 11,977]

Fritsch is our real barometer, he plays well when the team does and does SFA when we struggle.

Hes way too flaky after being in the system for years. Then again, you could say that about our entire team atm.

Don't be silly. Goodwin is anti tag.

Look at James Jordon now. Currently one of the best taggers in the AFL purely because horse Longmire actually finds different elements from a player that he knows will benefit the team.

Goody is one dimensional with the way he uses our players.

[The heart beats true 18,076]

Will Schofield hates Melbourne. He was the one who got reported for hitting Clarrie and then Damien Martin called Oliver a stager on Twitter.

Turn the volume down. He’s not going to do anything but barrack against us.
