Garbo

Time for everyone to lower their expectations down from a flag to just making finals, sooner you do that the sooner you will enjoy the games and we can be pleasantly surprised if we do better.

All his fault we haven’t gone undefeated and the vic government can’t balance the budget

Most players I don’t but if you leave after only a few years and we can only deal with one team for a trade you bet I will

The counter argument is they then won 13 in a row in large part due to a huge home ground advantage on the way to a flag. Even if we improve in the 2nd half we are not likely to repeat that making top 4 unlikely and top 2 impossible. Making a Flag unlikely. As greedy as it sounds I think most agree this team needs to win more than one flag to be called a success and top 4 finishes or a grand final appearance won’t cut it and the clock is ticking. How many years at peak do May and Gawn have left.

They also won’t kick that poorly in front of goal next time. No top 8 side should fear us at the moment, we will go out the same as last year assuming we even get a double chance

Game plan imo, we haven’t adjusted and teams have us figured out. We always play an extra behind the ball giving up equal numbers at the contest, this only works if we can split it at the contest and get the ball back via an interception often enough when we don’t. Problem is we aren’t winning it at the contest nearly enough and teams are being smarter when going forward. Goody needs to even out the numbers at the contest to give ourselves a chance.

Score line flatters us, we were beaten for 3.5 qtrs tonight, unfortunately same story as our other losses out worked round the contest, black line under pressure all night, fwd line non functional

Half a qtr of good footy blame Umpires all you want it’s our own fault been 2nd to it most of the night

How does port have more tackles while also having more of the ball shows a massive lack of effort

As weird as it sounds we need to stopping dropped an extra behind play it’s not helping when port just wins the contest at the ball 9/10 times

Once again we found lacking when playing top 8 teams

It’s imposter syndrome, if it was cats or lions or pies we wouldn’t think any think less of them. Having said that the next month will show if we deserve to be equal flag favourites

Not confident about us stopping there scoring, think this will become a shootout which means the game becomes a coin flip

Dunno what people are freaking out over, petty was never going to be fwd come finals and it seems he is surplus down back based on how Goodwin has played him this year. Surely it’s better to get Ben Brown in form as he will be needed if we are going to push deep this year

Easy win but once again we can’t stop teams scoring if we drop our tempo

Does anyone else feel this year has just continued on from the end of last, the gap between our best and worst hasn’t improved. We seem to have issues on every line. Doesn’t feel like it did in 2021 when it felt like we wouldn’t ever loose to anyone regardless of score. Maybe we hit our straps come end of year but feels more of a hope than a certainty

Why is gc always finding a loose man even after a stoppage in the 50, some lazy defending going on

Blues got a toxic supporter base went tonight and I’d hate to be a player for them, the crowd is so fast to turn on their own. Makes our meltdowns mid game look like a picnic

Now the moz is on him, watch him get subbed this week

I like to know which of our players under 21 excluding JVR he is most excited to see over the coming years and why.

I understand that if your 2 tall fwds only kick 2 goals from 22 that’s not a good thing and we should expect more output than what they gave.

Lost a bet with a mate who goes for blues on who would win by more not happy

Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more

Good to see most of the role players not taking the foot off, shows the competition for spots is real

Only 1 of those picks is likely to be top 5 and the other 2 15-18 so it’s not much of gamble, we will still have freos 2nd pick which potentially is only a few down from our own 1st this year.
