New lows after a series whitewash v Poms including a world record 481 in a one dayer FFS.

I was quite surprised, my instant thought was he was captain material so I agree. He was really starting to direct the troops down back. They showed a video of him trying to get weights off the end of the bar with his crutches in the gym which was pretty cool.

Maybe email the club or see if there’s any functions on/corporate box tickets if you want to pay a bit more? May be warmer. It’s bloody cold atm for sure. Sorry I can’t help but others may have better ideas

Lever was AFL Game Day on Sunday, very professional and oozed leadership, very impressive person & level head for his age. I reckon the stint in the coaches box will set him up for a ripper 2019. Anyone else catch it?

Another thing also, players said the club focused on putting the foot down and there was a rumour here we focused on the Crows game from many weeks before (can’t remember the poster), I just hope that the players didn’t get comfortable after that. You can’t criticise their effort v Port, we just cocked it up. Petracca is the one I’d hoped for that role and he may in time, interesting Roos’ comments on the weekend that he sees Petracca as more of a forward than a mid. Brayshaw is the one from what I’ve seen, when he plays midfield he dominates, just needs to tidy up his disposal a little.

Big blow for Pies, I reckon he's their best mid and provides all the run and drive. Sure others like De Goey may step up but he'll be sorely missed. I had them pushing for top 4, be interesting to see how they cope, but have an easy draw

Weird how he just replied and attacked 3 of my posts in succession but not being any decent discussion to the board or even try. On ignore, cheers ?

Wow 3 posts for 3attacks, play the ball not the man, add some value or discussion yourself

There are a lot more floggings this year so hard to tell if clubs are putting the cue in the rack or what’s happening. The big wins are enjoyable but the easy losses are quite frustrating, especially when we know what we’re capable of. Carlton we’re terrible so 109 not surprising, Adel we’re decimated with injury. I just want us to beat the good sides as they’re the ones we could be playing in September

No, we lost round 23 last year, missed finals and we should never have let them beat us. We had won 6 in a row, had a shot at second spot and we weren’t switched on from the first bounce. We should have beaten them and we should never have allowed them to beat us after last year. Passionate I might be, a dill I am not. No [censored] they killed us, captain obvious

I can't name another player, I think Salems kicking has gone backwards or he takes the safe option chip like Lewis. It has been a problem for years, we recruit meat & potatoes, but not match winners. Our captains are two terrible kicks, how inspirational.

His kicking is ordinary, he either tries to kick the air out of the ball and just bombs it constantly. He's not a very good shot at goal for a 'forward' either

Treloar gone for potentially 10 weeks for Pies - Massive loss for them.

Jeez Mason Cox irks me, smug, mouthy, cocky turd.

Thats where the frustration is though OD, last year we beat top of the ladder Adel in SA, WCE in Perth and took it up to Richmond and would have won if not for injuries......but this year, we are not even close, so the question is, have we actually gone backwards?

I said it'd most likely be 2, however I think we need 4 to have better structure, if that happens over a couple of weeks then all good

Would it promote more collusion? Or does it work OK?

I'm with you mate, totally over Gil and his radical rubbish. Next year could be the year I walk away from it altogether.

When a player plays bad, its "oh they were tagging so and so" - a demonland habit thats only crept in lately. Denial is the first sign of failure they say.

Do the predictor, have a crack.

Am thinking a little re-jig here and maybe outside the box. Do you bring in a kid who has been emergency, or reward recent form? Maybe give Petty a game for next 3 otherwise replace with Frost. Will probably only be 2 changes but this looks a better balanced team to me, what we are doing isnt working In: Weideman, Petty, Spargo, Stretch Out: T.Smith, Vince, J Smith, Tyson B: Salem, O McDonald, Jetta HB: Hibberd, Frost/Petty, Lewis C. Melksham, Viney, Fritsch HF: T McDonald, J Hogan, Harmes F: N Jones, Weideman, Petracca Foll: Gawn, Brayshaw, Oliver I/C: , , Hannan, Stretch, ANB, Spargo I've edited this 20 times, not easy but did my best.

And I hope he does get weeks.

They flooded early but agree he should be played forward.
