Fritsch was good, ANB was tagging who? A ?, thought Lewis was ok

Would prefer to give JKH a run than Spargo or ANB at this stage. We don’t need Tyson in the guts right now and I hope never to see Bugg in a Demons jumper again.

I don’t mind Bugg when he’s in form, reckon he’d do better than Melksham at the minute

If Smith cant play down back he cant be in the team, he's not a forwards bum hole.

ANB has he got pics of Goody's Missus or what? If he has i guess he's going to stay in the team but simon if he doesn't he has to go.

Out: ANB, Smith(depending on match up)

In: Anyone with as heart beat

Honestly don’t know what’s going on with ANB, he’s been average or below for most of the year but he’s played every game, don’t think he’s missed a game since Goodwin became coach

Does Jay Kennedy Harris deserve some senior time now?

If he doesn’t get it this week he never will

I thought Smith, Spargo and ANB were our least effective tonight. Lewis also did some

Smith played most of the game forward so not sure there is a role for him. 

Not sure there is anyone really demanding a promotion though.

Bugg and Tyson starred today, JKH was good too in horrible conditions

Thought Frost did well in his return. 

Frost must stay in, he’s quick and gives us run

Jones - age catching up

Viney - great when unburdened

Fritsch - was all class

Hogan - ten minute game

Harmes - played with heart

Brayshaw - prolific but wasteful 

Lewis - often a liability

Melksham - playing slow motion

T.McDonald - was probably injured

Neal-Bullen - an irrelevant player

Petracca - plenty of nothing

Tyson - a dumb player

Weideman - nothing to commend

Gawn - one man team

Hannan - devoid of ability

Hibberd - reduced to amateurish

Oliver - rarely found space

Petty - debut to forget

Salem - undisciplined and disappointing 

Smith - little to praise

Jetta - was still concussed

O.McDonald - was emphatically embarrassing 

 

disagree with Hibberd, thought he was best backman, agree about TMac and Nev, both shouldn't have played. And at the moment Hannan is a complete waste of space, Jeffy would have given a contest, this bloke is scared of contact!!!!

Totally believe it as it would be easier for Goodwin and co. to avoid situations they could not possibly explain i.e Frost,Stretch.

Frost, Stretch and Garlett or Spargo  MUST be picked next week and Petty, Tyson and Hannan out or the microwave is awaiting my membership card

Mitch Hannan getting selected 5 weeks in a row after inept performances is puzzling

Petracca very lucky

Agree, Hannan has been atrocious for weeks, he needs a stint at Casey

In spite of everything, lost in the back line, though that was also because of what was happening further up the field and the way the ball was coming in. We kicked 18 goals which is a winning score - but let them kick more.

Lost through some indiscipline and those handful of needless 50 metres that just handed them goals and gave them confidence.

Also inexperience (my constant theme), across much of the team but especially Petty who was clearly out of his depth unfortunately. Then throw in those handful of players we have who get the ball but have poor or unpredictable disposal, which leads to turnovers (Tyson, Harmes, ANB the main three).

No easy solutions, short of Jake Lever making a miraculous recovery, though I thought Smith played himself back into it, and Hibberd was decent. Thank god for Bailey Fritsch.

I'd be looking at Stretch (decent kick) and Vince (experience) back in.

Stretch, Vince and Baker must come in next week, Tyson, Smith and Hannan out

A bit hard on Billy methinks. Otherwise spot on. Probably Keilty’s best game.

Me thinks too, Billy played bloody well, should and will be given a go in the ones very soon

Loved the Bernie interview post match. However long it takes, he will be banging the door down to get back in the team. He’s not giving up just yet. 

Bernie will be back next week

Reckon Baker and Stretch must be given a go very soon, Stretch has become a lot tougher

Copped three bad ones in the last quarter. Terrible umpiring.

Nothing that hasn't been said before.

Stop bombing.

Vince and Lewis don't work, need Hunt

Too small down back, need Petty.

Need an opportunist forward, need Garlett

Petracca has to lift.

Any others? Thoughts?

 

Showed on Footy Classified 2 occasions, 1 by Jones, 1by Brayshaw, totally ignored Hogan and bombed to Port player sitting by themselves in backline. They’re stupid stupid stupid these morons, we should have won that game on Friday by 4-5 goals. We were easily the better team on the night, it was just brainless decisions by midfielders that cost us, and Garlett needs to come back in side to replace Hannan.... bloody disappointing loss

You just wouldn't trust him in a final because hes just not built for the high pressure intensity stuff.

He got showed out last week big time.

If I remember right it was Watts clinch goal that got us the QB game last year, I know he doesn’t have the intensity to play great AFL footy but he’s a demon through and through and I won’t bad mouth him

Amongst both teams he had most possessions , equal most marks, and highest number of rebound 50's, all taken care of with a disposal efficiency higher than all but one Collingwood player (who had 3 kicks), and all but 3 of ours. He also spent more time on the ground than any other player out there (94%).

But heh, zero impact.

 

Deespencer must have been at another game, Lewis was in our best 5 players today, some ‘supporters’ are fair dinkum dropkicks

I'm done with this pretender being unable to stand any half decent forward with an ounce of leg speed or overhead ability.

I'm done with him falling over or giving away free kicks because he knows he's physically incapable of even halving the contest.

I'm done with his futile efforts to change direction.

I'm done with the way he picks up the ball protecting himself and only on his left side so he can't move on to his right.

I'm done with his handballs that go to grass.

I'm done with him taking kick outs despite only being able to kick 45 metres.

I'm done with his stupid fake hair.

I'm just absolutely done with Jordan Lewis.

Vote. Tell me where you stand. If you're sucked in by the stat padding that invariably occurs when he's a mile from his opponent or even playing 7 defenders then good for you. If you think some of his nice short kicks justify his ongoing selection then let me know.

Personally, I can't have the team playing a guy who will get so badly found out by a good team. I don't see what that achieves? I think we've got 2 really nice rebounding defender options in Hibberd and Salem who whilst not perfect are tough, courageous, pacy and can beat good opponents. They are the guys who should be getting 20 cheap kicks a game and around them we should have defenders who have the ability to actually defend.

R[censored] fool, suppose you gotta blame someone #moron 

Collingwood can’t play any better than what they did today, everything went their way, the umpires, the bounce of the ball, we can improve, we won 6 in a row, we’ll come back, but reality is we are still a year away from being real dynamite

Harsh.  Grundy had more hitouts, while Gawn gave more around the ground (which has been the opposite for both of them all year).  Grundy was also gifted a handful of frees as well.  I hardly see it as him being embarrassed, but he certainly didn't have one of his better days.

Gawn beat Grundy I thought, he got murdered by umps but Grundy did nothing

Basically their midfield [censored] on ours, Oliver was ok and Jones ok but rest no good, Pedo less than average, Spargo needs to go practice kicking and we need to bribe the umps. Umpires were deplorable today, we got massacred by the toerags until half way through last quarter when they tried to make up the discrepancy in frees??

Watching replay and reckon Hogan handpassed and passed to goalkickers at least 8 times, he played beautifully

Hogan underrated by most, or they just don’t see, he was involved in many of the goals, he’s a gun.......
