Now watching the storm about to kick off. A coach that knows how to coach & a team that knows how to play & win.

But will be keeping an eye on the west coast game

Dead last on the ladder. Yeesh.

Wonder if the crowd can get the weagles over the line

The days of the umpire bias for WC are over thank christ

Haha, ‘not 15’ (was actually 22 meters)

sucked in draper go crom

The reason North looked amazing against us is that we apply absolutely zero pressure. No physicality, no desire from us since round 1.

All Carlton had to do today was be a little harder...put a few goals on north and their very attacking mids drop their heads. They don't work two ways.

We didn't even try to test them - we are so so so slow, lethargic, one dimensional and gassed that it genuinely provides energy to the other team

Yep. We were either as fumbly or worse than they were, looked slower and our pressure just looked horrible. They weren’t good, we were REALLY awful

A shame West coast couldn't go on with it. Yes I know that would mean us being on the bottom.

But what happened to draper?

Essendon already lost 1 ruckman last week

Bombers paid a mark for what we weren't last week, then also a fiddy. Of course.

Oh dear, Draper out for a while it seems

That was stupid ryan. Still plenty of time to go back & have the set shot

Wow if WC win what’s it saying about us and if we are 0/6 how does Goodwin survive

Dam

Loved Hunt’s pressure in the last couple of minutes.

Bombers might have cost themselves pick 1

Oh we play the eagles twice.

If only ryan went back and had that set shot.

Best recent decision by the Pies was to trade out Jack 'my shorts are too big because I've got a little *&(#@) Ginnivan. They woke up to the nightmare before most footy followers. Wouldn't mind betting Sidey and Pendles had their fingerprints all of that.

I’d love the tea on that trade. There’s got to be a reason they were so happy to get rid of him

Not really sure why there is buzz around LDU from North, maybe had a bad game but I only watched a little and the 4 or 5 instances where he was involved he made a meal of each one. Just looked selfish, but maybe that’s as a result of the losses stacking up and forcing you to think you have to do it yourself.

Lots of despair on X tonight from North supporters. I know our season is [censored] but thank God we had some recent success.

This is a big part of it.

Goodwin called it out this week.

It's almost my sole focus tomorrow. If we're not "on", and early, that will say a lot IMO.

Miss that headband. Had to confirm it was him

Expecting more from H Reid. Looked like he wasn't in the centre for that final bounce.

Entertaining game between two cellar dwellers

Well I guess we can cross West Coast over there in round 8 off the winnable list based on tonight.

So now it’s down to Richmond, North and West Coast at Marvel.
