We ‘won’ that quarter and squandered chances we should have converted.

At least the effort rate increased. All we need now is to come out with the same/better intensity, take our chances and hope that Th e blues deliver their second half special. Which is a sad thing to hope for, really.

Play like this and I’m certain we’ll hand Essendon their first win.

Goodwin broke these players, never seen a group more in their heads than ours.

He is injured Imbecile

a question for those who know about these things. what happened that we won the quarter?

I’m taking no pleasure from that fact we are putrid. just curious …

Kolstrup looks good today with ball in hand.. one positive

Sorry but he has very few attributes aside from occasional tackles and some minor pressure at present.

He might find them at some point in the future but for now he's a fair way off AFL level and alot to learn to get back AND stay there.

Apparently CJ is off with a calf, if it is then our backline is getting decimated

Yep, all Goodwin's fault.

Gee it’s jarring to see us get so dominated in the contest and clearance. Really need to show some intent at the coal face.. unfortunately I’m not sure who is capable in this midfield excl. Steele.

Langford looks unfit.

We improved marginally when Jiath went off the ground injured.

Fritsch running around like a headless chook.

Haha, Goody's still copping it.

This is King's team now.

Time to stop the excuses and wait until we have enough experience in the midfield and Bowey back in defence.

Viney back into this midfield would be very helpful.

CJ was injury prone at Hawks we have been handed a lemon. Surely due diligence on injury prone players.

Well Kolt and Picket ate putting in effort, but geez we really look disinterested in getting to the ball first.

What’s the game plan don’t win centre clearances or defend both ways , bomb to nominate one …. King needs to make the adjustment or we will get flogged each week

So when do the players show up? I’ve been here for half a game and haven’t seen them

What happened to our supposed speed - they are first to everything

Without jake lever it would be a lot worse, good to see him back in form.

T mac also solid

Anyone watching practice match vs Norf and wonder why we are playing 1 ruck ??

Max Heath deserve the opportunity to be playing.

I understand Max Gawn is a legend, but in this day we need to show unpredictable football.

Just a thought.

We are where we belong unless we change and just trying to move ball quick, when we clearly aren't skilled enough is not good enough

In the second half I would love to see these highly skilled professional athletes

-mark the ball when it is kicked to them

-pick up the ball when it is near them

-catch the ball when it is hand balled to them

-kick the he ball to each other, rather than to the opposing team or to nobody at all

If we can succeed at these core skills I think we might get to watch a professional football team

Agree, after a shaky start, Lever has been solid. Hes attacking the contest, Salem……….. not so much

It’s been a long season and the wet and windy conditions aren’t helping us…. Oh wait

We are just putrid at the basics at the moment
