Garbo

At our stage we only need one player, it’s going to be hard enough to get games into one let alone three more. We have barely seen anyone from our last 3 drafts as is, no need to add more to the pile up

Hopefully Goodwin recognises that either Tomlinson or Petty if he isn’t fwd has to play down back for us to get the most from May and Lever. It’s was like been transported back to 2021 watching the backline today. If the forward line can just be more effective with there shots on goal we will be in great shape come finals.

He often has a punt both ways, did see him say that pies were due for a loss earlier in the week as well

How does James Jordan continue to not make the team, whoever is coming out for Oliver in a week.

To all the people the player this down initially remember what happened with Michael Hurley at Essendon who also got an infection from a blister which ended his career

Got to be unlikely to play now must be quite sever to need an IV, don’t understand how a fit young guy can’t fight off a simple infection from a blister naturally.

Any kids drafted now will only be the cherry on top, by the time they can fix holes in our list half the premiership side will be gone. If we want to fix deficiencies regardless of where they are we have to goto the trade table. First stop is a Key Forward and another Key back, Petty isn’t the answer forward if we are aiming for a flag and May is showing his age and needs some help as he can’t go with the taller fwds of the competition.

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
