And we might just choke a 10-0 start ourselves....

That Geel v Coll game was honestly one of the all time classics, great footy.

We don't have two genuine KPF's. We don't have hardly any elite ball users by foot.

Watching all games over the weekend, we seriously lack some elite ball users by foot unlike most of the other top 8. Its a real issue IMO, we need to recruit for this, it'll give any game plan a chance to succeed. Sydney remind me of the Hawks of old, pin point passes and game plan built around it. Outside of Spargo, who doesn't get it enough, I don't trust many others by foot sadly.

Thats what I'm thinking also, pushed them to their limits instead of resting them. We had players in form at Casey to cover too, so we've missed an opportunity to get experience into them also.

You cannot keep kicking wide to the forward pockets. Where is this even coming from? Coaches? As it happens a lot and has been happening for weeks. Its not even percentage football. Sydney remind me of the young Hawks of yesteryear, build a team of competitors with elite kicking skills. Apart from Spargo, who just doesn't do enough, there arent too many who can hit up targets. Ben Brown is cooked, his knee is done and KPF issues next year look grim. Van Rooyen will take years to be consistent. Goodwin needs to stop persisting and thinking things will come right, sometimes you need to make tactical and positional changes. Our fitness all year looks well below where it was last year and we just cannot swing back momentum consistently, as soon as the oppo get a run on, we just wait until they stop. Anyway, looking forward to Cats v Pies. Off to walk the hounds.

They pressure the ball user/corale. Feel sorry for him as it must be embarrassing, but Ben Brown is cooked. Way too many passengers tonight and it wasn't loading.

Way too many passengers tonight. Brown should retire. You wont win many games of footy kicking wide to the forward pocket. Fingers crossed we snatch it and move on, doesn't look good though.

Offence specialists, both teams.

2022? What happened 5-6yrs ago is irrelevant and you know that.

I'll believe my own eyes then, stats mean bugger all really.

Post them again? To my eyes, more times than not hes out of touch and thats OK.

The trouble with TMAC is after an injury, it takes him a good 5-6wks to get into form and is usually woeful in that time. I wish he was fit and firing though.

I'm not excited by Grundy at all. Injury prone and unsure where he fits in. Gawn isn't a forward and Grundy is a no.1 ruck.

Such a talent wasn't he, and a shame.

Wheres our KPF coming from? Ben King? Unsure whos around that is ready to go and proven.

Did anyone complain about our easy draw last year after 2020? But yes, Cats were looked after this year....

Good on ya mate, cheers for that. Look forward to seeing the other stats, very interesting break down hey.

Good post Nev, very interesting and you can see with the eyes we arent anywhere near last year. Unsure if you have time, but I'd love to see the same stats applied to just i50's?? See what they compare v last year. Maybe its similar, but our connection and conversion is much worse? Maybe, just maybe, the switch was flicked v Brisbane.

AFL must be counting the Brownlow votes first

Its really disgusting, we expect from them

Probably didn't register haha

Couldn't agree more, its horrendous and those two above should be held accountable and expect better.

The chances are impossible from what I'm told. But what a great player he was.

The issue I have with TMAC is it takes him 6wks or so to get back into form, this worries me.
