Please explain how we lost to Freo??

Anyone know what the petracca & cox issue after the game?

Did our club look at Wright vs BB, understanding BB played in a premiership….

Need to question what was the purpose of Shache, didn’t watch the game, was he injured as no goals, there is reason why he’s at a 3rd club

Hence why Schache isn’t getting a game in the seniors, what have we gained letting Weids go?

Surprised Shache wasn’t picked to play on Monday but dosent look like he’s touched the bal

I see Schace can’t spell his name is playing at Casey .. not sure on Goodwin thinking here regarding our fwd line ???

How the hell did we lose to Freo at the mcg??

No doubt pies playing well but their last 5 games who have they beaten WC, blues, gws , nth , swans all teams in the bottom 8, we haven’t taken any real scalps & just reinforces of the uneven draw

Reading too much into this …

No Question pies playing well & be hard to beat, but last 5 weeks they have played bottom 8 sides a stat that the footy experts have been critical of the us, pies have travelled once in 5 weeks also .. a reflection of the poor scheduling by the AfL, pies will also have the last 4 weeks I’m melb before finals not bad hey

Just listening to Track on 360 it just seems as though him/the players are not hungry/disappointed & continues to say it’s a learning opportunity.. I wonder if he /they know the premiership window is slowly closing??

Not sure how our fwd line is threatening expecting a 20yo JVR who still learning his craft as our main power fwd?? So we need Fritsch to fire incl goals from Pickett , spargo & rotating rucks of Gawn & Grundy. what’s J Smith role a fwd very unconvincing.. BBB want improve @ Casey as he’s past improving so need to roll the dice with him

What’s the explanation for BB our only truly recognised fwd sitting at Casey??? is Smith the answer?? Sachce why the hell did we draft him can’t get a game, Feel for JVR & needs a rest…. Club just continues to struggle to find or develop a power fwd… Neitz was our last & retired in 08 that’s 15 years ago

So a 20 Jvr & J smith will help us kick a winning score??? Whilst BB & Sache are @ Casey? We just look like a distorted unsettled fwd line and still can’t get this right whilst every other top 8 team has recognised fwds, very concerning

I wonder with such a lack of success for such a long time that clubs struggle dealing with success eg the Dogs flag in 2016 yet struggled to maintain it.

What was the point of getting Schache we could have just kept Weiderman, we invest in another premier ruckman & yet win the hit outs but don’t dominate the clearances… is it structure or players not working hard enough

Agree that we have only beaten 1 current top 4 side but convincingly been beaten, lost 7,4,11 & 27, though concern us as the season drags on if they don’t fix what’s nit working we will see those margins blow out!

Yze & Stafford we’re part of the premiership coaches, unsure if they have dropped the ball though, still put it on the playing group ad the complete hunger is there which all the 1% get executed, are they waiting for someone else to do it?

One step at a time let’s beat the blues first

I’m stating the obvious, which is what the footy world will do also , they have another 12 games to turn it around and haven’t been flogged, buts it’s a worrying trend & reasons unknown…game plan or player mindset?

I think you just answered your own question if were the team is at … can’t beat majority of current top 8 teams… I grant it they haven’t been flogged and yes they have another 12 games to improve, but the slide started from the straight sets exit & continues against quality opposition 11 rounds into 2023

Results don’t lie, we are @ almost the 1/2 way of the season & 1 win against a top 8 team in 13 games is a good gauge. Team is in trouble either game plan isn’t working or player buy in / culture is the issue.

Who were there wins against? Vs who have we beaten thus far the Dogs in the 1st game… it’s not impossible they can’t turn it around but my gut feeling is that their tummies are full & they are not selfless as they were in 21

Reality we have beaten 1 team in the current top 8 the dogs since our straight sets exit in the 2022 finals! It’s either our players have dropped off or Goodys game plan has been worked out!
