Unqualified opinion

Good tackle chin

Cmon Dees!!

We haven’t been dominant in last quarters, yes we might have out scored some teams but we have also lost a lot third quarters (is it the 3/4 time oranges?), so we have better endurance than other teams. But is the endurance at the cost of explosiveness, run and carry and driving forward footy that saw us win a premiership - given the personnel still on the list I know the players are capable of running hard at the opposition but this hasn’t happened for 12 months. And secondly where is the spread to create the quick footy, everyone is flat footed and pointing (fitness or gameplan?). Also our defensive zone was elite in 2021, teams couldn’t get past half way. It looks like Swiss cheese now, so many easy kicks into space that opens us up and creates an opposition f50 entry. I do agree with you and others though that there are multiple reasons why we aren’t playing to our potential, I just think fitness and conditioning is a contributing factor that can’t be discounted.

Can’t disagree with your points above. Multiple failures. But you forgot to mention Selwyn Griffiths. I don’t think he’s the right guy. Hard to get a read from ‘22 with the premiership hangover. But between ‘22 and the first 11 rounds of ‘23 we haven’t looked at our best. Is it our culture or gameplan, but the main change from ‘21 when we looked unbeatable is Burgess to Griffiths. I’m sure it’s a multifaceted combination of issues but surely the soft cap wasn't reduced so that we have to put up with timid and lacklustre performances

Can we get suburban umpires flown in for the last quarter?

Two bad free kicks. Two freo goals. Might be a long day if these muppets keep their whistles

@binman when does the loading begin? Will it be from round 11 (similar to last year)? Do our results allow for the heavy sessions this year? Will we need the heavy sessions if we have an improved fitness base from prior sessions. And finally, could we target particular players so we don’t have a complete squad fatigued on game day?

We need a media mogul who’ll stand up for us. If that any other club the I’m stance would be front page. It’s so frustrating that nothing is said

Call the throw in back

FMD lycett was holding Gawns hand!!! Not in a romantic way

BT said a nice thing about Melbourne. Should’ve been a double fifty

I’m afraid he literally will

If I could see Gawn being held with the behind the goals vision. How did 4 umpires miss it?

Nothing for Gawn or trac. Disgusting afl.

Elbow to Gawns face. Play on

Tmac can kick a good ball though

Tracca

Cause of the umps we are no longer winning

Gawn just copped two hands in the back from finlayson. Play on.

I’ve seen worse not paid

The umpire deserved that lashing from the port supporter. Very soft.

Kozzie!!!!!
