I'm still trying to work out how Rhys Stanley beat Max Gawn, surely he must have been injured? Stanley is normally below average

Anyone now believe me that an experienced KPD is of high priority now?

Oscar was a lamb to bad coaching, not his fault, give Goodwin a 0 for that persistence

No matter what happens, we are hopefully earning valuable lessons. I remember laughing at Richmond last year, how many games did they cough up and choke? Then went on to win a flag. I hope we can learn from these situations. I do think coaching let them down, not two teaming Hawkins all night, no filling the hole (would have cut off delivery), non tagging of Ablett (tagged Danger then he went forward), not flooding the backline. The players played their guts out, I don't blame them for the loss (Petracca and Garlett, JKH).

He didn't actually connect did he? I only saw a brief replay but a fine at worst I'd say.

As captain yes, but I'd throw him forward

Effort was there, maybe one change JKH out, unsure who'd come in, maybe Bugg, surely he's better than JKH and been in form. But are his papers stamped? AVB needs more game time, two of his 3 games have only been 3 quarters? Selection and continuity going into this part of the season is absolutely critical, no more stuffing around with it and experimenting.

Who would you choose out of Oscar and Jack Henry (another young defender)?

I don't mind the Petracca and Garlett incidents so much as the failure to stop Ablett and flood their backline. A mighty choke indeed

If we can keep that effort up and all we have to do is win ugly not pretty, get Viney and Hibbo back things may get interesting late in the year

Do as you like, he has a long history of being the first to put hands on hips and mope around with head down when the going gets tough plus goes missing at the same time. What you liked of him on Saturday is what we should expect from all our players. Why didn't Jones chase in dying seconds and why was he still in our forward half, wouldn't the kids be more inspired seeing him direct the backline late in a match, instead we had Jetta try and spoil by himself with Spargo and maybe Garlett metres away. As for the team, I'm also proud of them, their "effort" has been there all year apart from one game. We were much better at icing games and under last year than we are this year, why? I don't know.

Sadly I think JKH is too much of a confidence player, similar to Stretch. JKH is too much of a liability for AFL, at his age he should have improved this by now. Replace at EOY. Oscar started the season well, anyone remember the article about him re Gorilla minder? haha. Unfortunately he's gone to crap since but has lost Lever and Hibbo, I'm unsure where OMac is at but I do know we need another experienced KPD. He stays in and on the list going forward though.

And when you do, ask yourself why our two most experienced players were in our forward half of the ground when the ball was being pumped into Geelongs 50

His leadership on field is appalling, normally the first one to put hands on hips with head down and mope around. What you said is what I agree with, he's got a spot, he's never been A grade and he's not a leaders A-hole. I admire his loyalty, I think he's a nice bloke but the sooner we move on from the Jones era the better we will become, the club needs to manage it correctly but the game has quickly caught up with him.

Fox highlighted some footage of Jones’ poor application and jogging in the final minute yesterday morning, it looked terrible. And I think Lewis was the other one

Had a mate attend last night and after that goal was kicked the cats fan behind him rubbed and scruffed his hair up and patted his head and took off. Said he’d never spoken to the guy all night. He said the cats fans were feral in the last and will be making a complaint to the AFL as it’s the second bad experience in 3 years.It also scared his wife to pieces Also in that video, how about the cats guy booting the head of the dee fella, or is that ok? I refuse to go to the shithole now, their fans are feral

I put a big list a page or two back

Still think we need a KPD, I can't see how we don't. But we need an experienced one.

Blues 1 goal in a half of footy again, can always be worse ?

AGAIN... Definition of stupid “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result” That is Simon Goodwins game plan to a tee! Dumb as dog [censored] coach

Can’t blame injuries or having 3 of our best 22 out, we blew it

Why was Gawn on the bench for the start of the last for a while? Absolutely astonishing by Goodwin and once again tactically bamboozled, he’s the easiest coach to coach against by a long way in my view. Oh and leaders, Jones our captain, once again missing when needed and didn’t direct players into a winning position when it counted. Time after time. The sooner we move on from Jones and his era the better, Goodwin needs a big pre season himself or it’s lights out for him next year. That was a soft underbelly horrible choke. Lewis is just sneaking his way to 300, only here for the paycheque, rarely puts his body on the line and squibs contests. Or he just falls over so he can’t squib them. People say he’s here for leadership, we’ll where was it? Didn’t even drop back in the hole in front of Hawkins. Our leaders continue to let us down this year, Jones always, Vince and Lewis. Sooner we [censored] them off the better.

Thank Goodwin for that Loss. how long was Gawn left on the bench at the start of the last while they kicked 4? absolutely [censored] gobsmacking by Goodwin

Where’s Jones in the last quarter? Missing again as per usual, yet his fans will say he’s the man
