Gee our last quarters leave a lot to be desired, would love to see us just smash a team in the last quarter for once. Don't think i'm off the reservation in saying that questions have to be asked about our fitness team.

nonetheless, 4 points is 4 points.

My god never again Fullarton... 🤮🤮

You’d think he’d be fighting for his spot but he looks like Shach-attack 2.0

Also the debate is over, Max Gawn is the greatest ruckman to ever play the game.

Great win! Much improved performance across so many facets.

Although I think Fullarton would shirk a contest with Josh Schache

you one of those glass half full fellas yeah?

Secured the game then eased off mentally. who cares?

Our percentage pre game was 65%

This was a chance to improve. Anyway we need the next two to get off life support

I’m one of those who cares about habits. I care about %, I care about being as high on the ladder as possible. I care about Essenscum getting a lesser pick. I care about learning to stomp on teams when you have the chance.

Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

I saw it differently dd and thought it was good to give him a rest.

Even though our last quarter was pathetic especially without Gawn we had won the game and didn’t think it was an arrogant move and I am not a goody fan.

Gee we have a knack of picking up tall forwards who have no physical presence whatsoever. Fullerton, Schache, Weideman to name a few.

Who were all those posters who wrote off Salem?

Are they still around?

He is so important to our back 6 and controlled the game tonight

5 day break was always going to be a factor. Reflect on that before criticising the last 10 too much

Need to play more than 1 quarter.

Is it mathematically possible that a win in round one in a very tight game v Gws could have seen us with other permutations allow us to be in the top 8 and if so wth?

WE ARE NOT FIT ENOUGH BODY AND MIND

Take the win, but Jeebers….

I don't know how anyone can dispute it. It felt like we laid 3 tackles in that last quarter.

Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

What are you talking about?

If we played how we played against North tonight, we would’ve lost by 100. Easily. The difference between how we’ve played against North/ESS/GC/Geelong is massive.

I care about getting a win and building. Resting Gawn for next week

Also I care about enjoying footy and enjoying a win

Turned a 60pt potential win to a 20pt meh win

Richmond also had a 5 day break, in fact they had 6 hours less recovery than us.

So what your “reflections” on that?

I guess we'll find out?

Happy with the points but it's becoming a worrying trend. I dont need to bury teams every week but at least breaking even in the last would have nice.

I always have more confidence when I know our side can run out games, it gives you a chance.

A win is a win is a win though.

Also, Salo and Bowza were fantastic tonight

Kolt's decision making in traffic is very good for a guy who has played 12 games

Get him in the guts

I was disappointed Max went off, but he was heroic again tonight and needs every rest he can get.

With the game won, imagine how Goodwin would have been crucified if he had stayed on and copped an injury.

The fact is that some of his teammates need to look hard at themselves for downing tools in the final minutes.

You have NFI

Am I in the game day thread? Miserable bunch you lot. After five horrible losses I’m taking wins in any way shape or form at the moment. And that… was a pretty easy one.

A lot will be rightly said about Gawn’s performance but Jake Bowey being an elite AA defender wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

Last quarters are a worry. Fullerton is not a worry because we’ll most likely never see him again at AFL level.

Potentially 3 in a row next week and then Hawks are very gettable at the G. I’m choosing to believe! Lessgo

Why should Gawn being off the ground result in the our players slacking off their efforts?

Also what has Gawn sitting on the bench to do with some pathetic Melbourne turnovers hitting Richmond players on the chest?
