Billings has no awareness. his man slipped over when he took the mark but billings wasn't paying attention. He could have played on and had plenty of space in front of him to do so.

i complain about billings every week so you could accuse me of bias. fair enough. but billings is not the answer imo

I don't rate him at all! 

Really difficult to watch this. Our kicking and physical intensity have been horrid. Even when we do begin winning contests etc... our kicking for goal (4 of them from within 30 metres) is like country reserves footy. 

Petty has played 1 good game in 5 and the rest he has been invisible

we needed him tonight. not talking just goals but just to compete and hold the ball in

Reid is making us look second rate in the midfield. I'll be surprised if we get back from here. The Eagles look better than us today. 

Billings has to go now. He’s deplorable by foot, and that was the only reason we got him.

He infuriates me.

BBB is a very good person and has been  a very good player - but not for the future.

 

Salem is not a midfielder - his disposal is not as good as it was and he is too slow.

 

Now is the time for our good players to stand up.

 Billings.  Saints are laughing at us.  He is a spud.  Goalkicking like a dyslexic person at a spelling bee !!!! 

I think the AFL world are laughing at the Saints

All the people predicting a 70 point win should do 20 push ups 

Playing for a top 4 spot and losing to a bottom 4 team

Lucky to be only 3 goals down. We can still win this. But certainly don't deserve to

This is a much worse result than the 2018 prelim IMO. Simply haven’t turned up and we don’t have the cattle to win a flag, or even a final at this rate. Petty, Brown, Billings all cooked. How we can butcher the ball so badly is beyond me. Absolutely gutless and disgraceful effort given the importance of the 4 points. 

Goody nerds to take our mids after this game and give them a decent kick in the bum.

Oliver16 disposals 

Tracca 16 disposals.

Viney 14 disposals.

Sparrow 9 disposals ( very low)

Harley Reid a young kid panting them all.

This is the third last team.

Chandler too has gone into a big slump like he did last year.

Yeah, what is the story. I have no faith in Billing's by foot. I don't understand why we traded him.

If we're fair dinkum this year we win.

We have a new Dusty. Fend off to the throat, play on

Need to rev up 

Blue maggots

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

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

Mid table team.

We have the talent, we lose it above the shoulders.

How the mighty have fallen 

This is going to be up there with our loss to Sydney in 1993.

meth coke will end up winning by 5-7 goals imo

losing lever in first 5 mins was a blow, but their pace is what is destroying us

it's a carbon copy of when meth coke knocked off flagmantle; just too quick and reid is a superdooperstar

Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

3rd quarter 

Reid 💪🏼Trac and Clarry 🤡🤡 and Howes 🤡

goalkicking 3-7 dees v eagles 5-0

kozzy !!  

Would be great to hold some tackles

Not enough run in this team.  Too stagnant in general which brings the heat
