He's listed at 96kg on the AFL app, needs to lose 10kg and build a tank, too heavy IMO

Yeah nothing we haven't already spoken about it is it, I just posted it to help the forum more than anything though.

We need pace, but what we don't need is pace with poor disposal, I think this will be a targeted area in the coming draft/trade period. While Hunt and Frost are fast, they are butchers of the footy.

I think the midfield from now should be centred around Brayshaw, Oliver & Viney. Petracca if no spell at Casey needs more time in there as well as Salem. In fact, Salem and Brayshaw have looked as good as anyone in the guts this year but we didn't see them moved into there yesterday for whatever reason.

It's probably not as silly as it sounds, he's actually a poor shot for goal so worth a look I reckon, unsure if they will try it at 8-4 though. He's a good mark and reads the play well. Just needs to stop trying to kick the wind out of the ball every time he has it.

Agree, although I'd keep Harmes in and drop Vince. We just can't play Vince and Lewis in the same side from now on I don't think

Pies could've/should've been 50 up at half time also, wasted many opportunities.

Good point about the lack of switch, I noticed many times yesterday day we had 2 players on for the switch and didn’t take and just kicked up the line. This was also evident in the Richmond game, so I’d say it’s a confidence issue from Collingwood (and Richmond’s) pressure. We are a much better side when we switch and take the game on. However coaches should’ve picked up on it early

There’s no doubt other teams can expose Lewis and Vince. He wasn’t the worst today but he picks up many cheap possessions, short handballs and 15m chip kicks. I’m sure he’s providing leadership but game has passed him and still 18 month on his contract. I’d pay him out at seasons end

Hibberd or Vince would’ve been better or even Pedersen, not a first game in backline player in front of 84k

He’s so lazy.

Poor coaching to have Smith play on Cox, really stupid actually

No excuses for me

Bananas give me heartburn

Agree, we crumble when the heat is applied, it’s our biggest issue. Good teams absorb it and turn it back on the opponent. The biggest issue around this is leadership, there is none. Jones never stands up when chips are down, walks around with hands on hips.

31 + 10 tackles, tried hard but had no runners to deliver to

Showed desperation today, one of few real triers

1 tackle today

0 tackles today

Petracca, Vince, Lewis, Brayshaw had 2 tackles between them

We can’t play Vince and Lewis in the same side, something has to give.

So what do you think about the fact we had an 8-9 day break for the Pies, shouldn’t we have freshened up?

Club had too much publicity fluff of late, always a sign a loss isn’t too far away

Stretch isn’t fast when he spends most of his time running around in circles or into trouble. I admire his work ethic but I wish he’d take the game on to utilise his potential pace, but for some reason he never does. Confidence issue?
