A great performance last night. Midfield looked a hell of a lot better, Clarry had some bounce, Vines amazing and Rivers should never play back again. AmW what a great young player. He, Woewi, Doggie and Kolt are all very good additions. Would have loved the win, but we just couldn’t convert late and kill momentum. 3 things I want to point out. JVR has come on this year and is now a one touch player. He reminds me of Neita in that he hits the ball hard with his chest out. 2nd is that Clarry looks happy. I know his performances have been off a bit, but he looks more calm and settled. Understand he has battled ADHD and is on medication for it. I recon his best footy was when he was on edge, but you can’t live like that. I think we keep him at all costs and turn him back into a star next year, better version on and off the field. Lastly- well done to those who travelled to watch the game. The boys definitely got a lift and it was noticeable the cheering on the TV. Cheer up Dees. This year is a building block for next year. Another few layers to add, but we are better placed then I thought

Outstanding

A certainty to most.. except Simon Badloss

We became [censored] by stealth

Fits the trend. We have been bruise free for weeks

Little doggie man omitted- what a joke! Club is a mess!

I’d prefer anything over BT.. he would have watch the Melbourne v North last 2 minutes and said “you really get the feeling North need to score here, otherwise it is going to be tough to come back”..

Hahaha. You are funny

Our footy program appears pretty average

This is unlikely to happen but I would love to see Kynan settled into and develop into a half back this year. IMO we are still one really good small defender short in the back half. Howes is weak one on one as is Bowey. Bowey could move onto a wing or half forward. Chandler could cut oranges for a few weeks till he finds a pair.. Juddy will be sublime when he enters the midfield rotation this year or next.

I love how our forwards, huddle together, then we kick the ball on their heads.. and only the defenders have ability to run and jump at the ball. I also love how opponents can have 1m space and manage to mark the ball, yet we can have 2-3m and still get closed down. And when we do, they will the ground ball. Staggering

We could be the worst side in it by years end on current trajectory, if we aren’t already…..

Petty back and TMAC forward is the only way that Petty is still alive.. maybe supports Tomlinson inclusion with Turner as sub perhaps.

Couldn’t find the ‘Boo’ button… but.. Boo!!! 😒

Little Doggy Dog!!!

I wonder if they will find Harold Holt before they identify the issue with Spargo’s Achilles.

I would love for us to become a watchable side again.. besides St Kilda we are the most boring and frustrating team to watch. Focus on free, fast footy for the balance of the year. Work on what will take us forward next year.

I might be wrong, but I thought it was Joel Selwood.

Agree, but it is also amazing how much confidence is drained from working hard to turn the ball over and all team mates running ahead of the ball, to simply turn it back over with poor skill execution. This has been the theme of our year and why we are so easy to score against.

Playing injured players doesn’t help our cause. May is a complete liability. Why we didn’t rest May and put Petty back is beyond me.. Viney and Oliver should not attend another centre bounce together again until they are either both fit, or the midfield coach sorts out whatever issue there is in there. I’d rather play Rivers, Salem, Sparrow and Koz in the centre. With Trac out, might be time to give Taj some midfield minutes.

Might be time to pay out a senior coach and some assistants and bring in some fresh eyes. Start moving on to a new game style and recruit those who can implement it. Would much rather see a direction, than treading water like we are now. Need a skills coach and goal kicking coach plus forward coach and midfield coach, that’s where we should start.

Gee Mays form is bad.

A big change is needed on and on off the field. I am not going to watch games live this year. Too hard from Ballarat and we are so boring to watch. Just feel so let down.. our administration is the issue

How to we rate Mini McQualter?

Yeah hard to have any faith in a side that has not just been beaten, but waived the white flag twice in 3 weeks
