Other clubs had their fair share injuries as well during finals. Every team are carrying banged up players through the finals. The ongoing excuses that supporters continue to trot out.. The record speaks for itself. Our september record since 2021 is 0-4, there is no sugar coating this. The immense pressure this club will have on its shoulders come september to avoid this hoodoo will huge and we don't deal with pressure and expectations well. Based on what I've seen so far I've seen nothing to suggest we've approved from 2022-2023. The stats will back that up.

Yes because that's certainly been good to us of late eh.. Since 2021 we're 0-4. The immense pressure we'll be under to win a finals game this year will be significant and we don't deal with pressure all that well.

Offer from us??

Fritsch 1 tackle, Brown 1 tackle, Petty 4 tackles. Jack Darling 12 tackles.

Because he's cooked as per his VFL performance.

Laurie? 🤣 he's genuinely a worse version of Billings.

Jordon is clearly one of the best taggers in the game. DubDee can't shake off the rosy red and blue glasses. One of my biggest gripe with Goodwin is he's refusal to tag gun players. Tim Kelly tonight was unbelievable and barely anyone went with him. It's cost us games. Goody is too arrogant to even realise that he should have at least tried Jordon as a tagger last year after the success we had with Harmes back in 2018 before trading him off.

No. He plays one good quarter every game. Sometimes it's not even a quarter, more so 15-20 minutes maybe.

Absolutely deserved what we got. Arrogance and questionable team selecting bringing in underdone players. Oh but don't you ever dare to question the team selections on here 😅 because the coaches always know right hey? I'm actually not surprised by this loss. Mids have been awful last few weeks and to see an 18 year simply just bully our senior and more experienced players around stoppages shows how much they're starting to fall off the cliff. Viney and Oliver are simply shadows of their best, Sparrow is an embarrassment, Salem can barely hit a leading forward. Defence got absolutely exposed tonight. May and McDonald were genuinely awful, Howes is just so weak in the contests, Bowey is another who's just a shadow of what he's previously produced. Rivers is a turnover merchant. Brown can retire on the spot. No more please. Forget the good citizen stuff, he simply cannot play for us anymore based on that performance. Petty can go back to defence, he was just as bad. McGovern and Barrass embarrassed both of them on the spot. Last but not least, coaching tonight was awful. Not once did we try anything to mix it up. Our mids was getting smashed and not once did we try Rivers in there or leave Pickett there for significant time after he looked dangerous earlier on. Defensive set up was completely obliterated and of course we make Darling look like Wayne Carey tonight after he hasn't had a kick in 2 years. Some serious soul searching from this performance.

Wrong thread

[censored] hell Ben Brown can you at least provide a wimper!?

McDonald..

If we're fair dinkum this year we win.

May and McDonald have been downright embarrassing tonight.

Lol do our defenders not want to play on a man? How does Liam Ryan just casually get off so easily.

Rivers in the middle against Brisbane when he had about 5 clearences in one quarter and looked like peak 2021 Petracca only to not see him there again.

He'll pop up with his junk 2-3 goals when we're probably 5-6 goals up but the way that's looking that's not guaranteed.

Don't be silly. Goodwin is anti tag. Look at James Jordon now. Currently one of the best taggers in the AFL purely because horse Longmire actually finds different elements from a player that he knows will benefit the team. Goody is one dimensional with the way he uses our players.

It's actually fun watching Harley Reid bully our mids. Kid is a genuine star.

Careful on here.. You can't ever question Fritsch on this forum. Absolute liability today.

The tag of Salem of being an elite kick is one of the most overrated things going on in footy. Example A was him having the time and awareness in the centre to hit up a simple lead up forward and instead it goes over our forwards heads.

May off to a horrible start. Happy to dish out to teammates yet takes zero responsibility for his turnovers or lazy defending.

Getting smashed in clearence. Story of our [censored] life being a Melbourne fan.
