From this point on we just have to assume umps will cost us 3-4 goals a game.

May loses a contest against Horne-Francis, runs underneath the ball and Max has to make a dangerous tackle.

May then lets Burgoyne mark uncontested 15m out. 🤦

We are our own worst enemies

Can't hit a target i50, can't defend oppo i50s

Has van Rooyen suddenly remembered how to play football? Clunking marks and nailing goals again. He’s been a pleasant surprise.

Petty must be a catholic, hasn't touched the pill!

Ha.

He was on the bench for a bit and it improved things.

Let's just let Roo have a decent time fwd without Petty and see what happens.

today’s view, getting toweled up by a cats reject….

Might have to withdraw

People still think Langford needs to be managed?

10 touches at 90%

he is pretty much our best mid already

How was it a brain fade? It was a great tackle

all he had to do was push him over the line.... but no gives away the obvious free

Just to make sure we miss the 8 so we can't end the season of one or more of their preferred teams

If that’s in the back I want to see them pay it the other way. Giorgiadis flopped in an effort to get the ball over the line. Absolute joke

They paid Dangerous tackle, still a B/S free.

Honestly the backline and midfield are killing us with their revolting lack of defensive intent.

May needs a bake. Shades of quarter one versus Saints.

Petty must have the same magnetic polarity as the ball. Every time he gets near the near the ball it repels away from him.

That [censored] milked the dangerous tackle

We are not losing because of the umpires.

Reasons?

Melksham brain fade = 50m penalty = goal.

Bowey brain fade = goal.

Delivery into forward line = hopeful long bombs galore.

Lever ...

Lever 1 disposal going great.

would be good to see one of forwards lead towards the ball carrier for a chnage

Yep no movement in the F50 so ball carriers are just kicking long to defenders and it looks like we are really missing a defensive small to stop them cleaning the loose ball up so easily in our full forward line.

Port player opts to kick a dribbler out of defense obviously curling towards the boundary line instead of a drop punt and the brain rot commentary club have the gall to act like it was a legitimate pass attempt.

That’s even WORSE! What the [censored] was dangerous about that? He didn’t turn him or slam him down. What a stupid stupid interpretation!

Just about to cheer that we finally got a junk time goal, only to give up another junk time goal. Due to a brain fade. Not the best tackle. Max should know better, even if it was a bit soft

Anyway, positives are that we started well and Roo can’t get a much better boost to his confidence than that, he should use that to kick a bag, and drive a win for us. We can win this but got to stay sharp, and no more gifts.

6 marks inside 50 to port that quarter is awful. Essendon gave up 22 marks inside 50 to Geelong last night. We are on track for that if we don't lift defensively

Petracca just the 2 disposals. Needs to lift.

Dead set liability. Too lazy to defend so instead just wants to guard space. Dropping McDonald for him was a massive mistake .

Always the late goal in red time. So poorly coached

13-2 clearances

what’s the point if we give it away every time.

they just sit back and mark the shanks
