leave it to deever

Should have been done a year ago. Tmac and bbb .. the writing was on the wall. Delist them both. Get rid of Grundy. Should give us some cash. We have probably paid too much for Kozzie who has disappeared since he resigned. Bedford was probably a better fit than Chandler.

Anyone but Chandler who has been playing games for somthing he did at tge start of the year.

What's missing was some decent forward craft where there was nobody leading most of the time and all our fwds standing next to each other. And also for the first hour of the game I didn't see much bursting forward. I saw our mids 20 m away from the ball most of the time. For 2 quarters our midfield was totally pantsed. They were horrible. And then at half time they decided to start to apply themselves Apart from Viney its been a pattern for a while now. Strange.

Our two talls in Tmac and Jvr cannot seem to stand and take a pack mark. Jvr is still developing and finals is a new experience. Tmac needs to retire. There was no room for our crumbers or for Fritta to lead. Pies had a plethora of players back inside our fifty all night. Our slow movement allowed them to do this. They on the other hand took the pill into their fwd 50 at break neck speed. It was embarrassing. What the hell is it with our slow starts? Why does Trac always require an hour before he can get going? Our mids were all asleep in the first half. It's not like it hasn't happened before. I would have thought the Gus ko would have snapped them out of it. Probably Vineys most quiet game of the year. Sadly despite our poor performance our non existing fwd line let us down again. That and a man down. Plus poor kicking at goal is somthing that has plagued us all year but we don't fix it. Also Chandler hasn't played well for eons. Shouldn't have been playing. I also don't know what has happened to Salo but he's looked lost for the last 7 games. Lever pumping players up when he should have just worried about his own game. I don't think he laid a single tackle. It's a long road back with Carlton and then an interstate final and I can't see anything changing with our lack of decent forwards. Apologies to Fritta who has had only two games in three months. I think this is another year wasted with this list but I'm thinking the list isn't as great as I thought. Langdon has vanished this year. Hunter was a non game. Kozzie is way too inconsistent. Salo is a shadow of his old self. Smith is a sub. Chandler is no Bedford. Laurie should never have been the sub. That's all on you Goody. Stupid choice of a kid with 5 games. Tmac enough said. Sparrow can play elsewhere. Jvr is good but he's still a rookie. Lever has been very average. We lost last year because our fwd line collapsed and the club didn't do any recruiting to change things. Also do we need to bring in a motivational speaker ten mins before each game. The difference bw the state of mind and intent from the Pies was huge. Although if seeing Gus knocked out doesn't inspire you then I don't know what would. Credit to Max and May and Bowey for a 4 quarter effort. Trac and Oliver were great the second half but I would much rather them both be good for a whole game than a cameo later on when the deficit is too big. It seems to be a pattern now especially with Trac. He could have been a contender for Browlow this year but has dropped off remarkably in the last 5 games. It's clearly a concentration issue for him. This club reminds me of Footscray and I can't see us winning another flag for a long time. Seems like one was more than enough for half of them. I know we only just loss but that's what makes it so bad. Why do we only play for a half? And why are some players consistently poor? That is a poor reflection on the more than a few for sure. Also I wish we would just shut up shop as a club at times. I've seen us so many times talking things up in the media how we are ready, we have changed. Evolved and LEARNT. That we are ready for this and that. From both players and coach. Tge media love it and we do it every single time. Maybe we even believe our own bs. Can't we just have a media strike for a couple of bloody days and do the talking with the ball. We can't, because we haven't changed.

That was the precedent I was thinking off. Baily played on. Four weeks is appropriate.

Forgot about Bowey. Take a bow. That's a lot of poor efforts noticed Joeboy but sadly true. And we almost won.

Half a game.

If he doesn't get a serious suspension it will be open slather on pretending to smother and then knocking people out. I'm not saying this was his intent ( but how do we really know) the fact remains Gus was stretchered off after a player launched into him like an f16. We can never really know ones true intent but the results are irrefutable. # ProtecttheheadHoliday4Maynard

Was strange to see Lever revving everyone up a 3 quarter time. Would have been better to lead by example. No tackles from him all night and a shocking first half. Salem would not commit at times. May, a rock as usual. It was our midfield in the first half tgat got smashed for 6. Then when they started playing in the 2nd our fwd line was still broken. Viney unusually quiet tonight. Hunter and Langdon didn't turn up. A tackle a piece. Ordinary efforts. Thanks to big Maxy yet again.

Maybe Jaded noticed Cox tried to break Tracs legs.

But oh boy the starts are horrible.

If Pies can mark those bombs why couldn't we ? We certainly had like 30 more than they did.

Don't know why chandlers been gifted so many.

Fool me once.... Fool me forty times

I don't think our list is as hot as we think it is dazzledavey36. Why does Trac only get going in the 2nd half?. What's happened to Salo?. Langers and Hunter not far behind. Lever egging everyone on but didn't dominate himself. Chandler and Laurie not very good. Tmac...I've said my peace. Jvr still learning. Credit to the fightback but we've all seen this movie before with these slow starts and misses opportunities.

Maynard better get 3 weeks. It was bad enough losing Melksham but we probably would have won with Gus not going down.

All three lost by a sub standard performance from our fwd line. I don't want to hear about entries being poor. Where were tge leads or pack marks? I het Fritta being quiet. He's played two games in half a season. Jvrs not ready yet. Tmacs cooked. Kozzie panicked. Chandler mia. Smith ok.

I'd delist him.

68 TO 37 I50S. SHEESH.

And played a whole game too

No fwd line. Poor kicking to go with it. Lots of just games.

Sad that even with our poor kicking we let Pies win tge game in tge first quarter. Our midfield and wings were disgraceful in the first.

I've got my matches and firelighters at the ready.

Defending Maynard still. Get real. He ko ed poor Gus. If he gets off anyone can go the smother and do the same.

Trac was great in the second half but also part of tge reason we lost the first with 7 touches. Is a perennial slow starter this year. Sparrow not sighted in the first hour finished we'll. Viney strangely quiet. Could have won but horrible kicking. Tmac thanks for tge memories. You too Salo. Jvr not quite there yet. Chandler Laurie ditto. Hunter and Langdon just games.
