Deesprate

Rivers is shaming some of his teammates.

Oliver didn’t even look when he kicked that provided the springboard for that goal.

Petty was clueless what to do with that ball so just kicked in hope we are hanging on with our finger nails.

Fritsch effort was worse than Oliver there is something not right. It completely inexplicable players with so much talent are so bad

Oliver cost that goal apalling

Their forward line look dangerous we just bomb aimlessly lucky to be in front. Nth can’t his the side of a barn.

Pathetic effort by Pickett

Reckon before we worry about lions we focus on Nth no gimmee the way where playing. Definitely something wrong at the club that Fred loss was inexplicable. Supporters are mushrooms kept in the dark and you know the rest

With respect we have concussion protocols that are well established and to be followed. You don’t have to be a medical expert to confirm established protocols for treating concussion were followed. It a reasonable question where concussion occurs to ask were the protocols followed. There have been enough serious rib related injuries to warrant established protocols to be established and followed. Whilst doctors do their best they are fallible to just accept their decisions without question put them at different level of all other professions in the community. I would hardly call the AFL ticking it off independent. The court are full of medico legal cases where medical professionals get it wrong. If the AFL in future dont put protocols in place they may well be liable based on the current known risk of this issue. Indeed it not beyond belief that Petracca himself may well legally question the decision made that put him back on the ground. In those circumstances the court would demand full transparency of what occurred.

At the risk of offering a contrary view I agree with his comments. He not saying it was the wrong decision but rather requires an open and transparent explanation of the steps taken to determine Trac health. For one did the medicos check the vision of the incident. Any view of that tape would have made the risk of rib injuries pretty obvious. By extension if it a rib injury and you can’t see it logic would require a deeper scan to be undertaken. As stated by Eddie Maguire a basic CT machine would cost $80k and take the guess work out of this. A small price to pay for certainty rather than educated guess work. Why doesn’t a ground like the MCG have one? The fact that Pies players were questioning Trac and not tackling further undermines the claims there nothing to see here. I don’t see this as a Dees issue but whole of AFL issue.

By the lack of people on this site tonight I think Dees supporters maybe avoiding footy all weekend. Can’t blame them. Brayshaw why do umpires report leave it to MRO. The fact that the camera might miss an incident obviously escape his grasp

Why does it always happen to good guys like Trac. Not just a player but a humble champion fella. Great though he will fully recover that more important than a game

Totally agree with those comments about being bitter. It hard to be rationale when your denied one live premiership in a lifetime after attending for years without success. It leave you conflicted whilst great to win won you feel ripped off. Made worse as when we can watch four MCG finals losses in a row including the Gus tragedy.. So here we are confronting an abyss of mediocrity and you wonder why you feel unhinged. It natural to be bitter at the sporting tragedy that bring us to this point. Just seeing Oliver and May laughing with Maynard encapsulated that feeling of bitterness. Sure there will be naysayers on here who say get over it but when you invest emotionally in a club it is easier said than done. All the best with your MFCSS

If u are upset about the loss don’t watch Goodies presser. We evidently improved I must have been watching another game. That right we lost by 92 points last week so I guess in that context he was right

And to think it worse because half Collingwood team are reserves players. The team is not just inept but cultural issues have eaten the core of this club out. Truly sad that many of us will never see live a premiership live in our lifetime

TMAC having a crack pity he has no mates

Good tactic player get a free team mate delays handing ball back so team can flood forward. OLIVER has to be dropped.

Goodwin has overseen the collapse of this club. OMG the skills turnovers.

Laurie why is he playing no awareness or skills shocking

Who cares about Maynard how about converting inside 50 to goals. Every week is the same appalling forward craft and coaching. So easily sucker punched.

Gary Baker used to run rock wall restaurant at Salamanca Hobart. Not only a great restaurant but Gary and his wife were terrific hosts. No matter how long between visits they remembered you and they loved seeing Dees supporters. So not only was he great player but a top bloke.

Just a little thing but seeing McAdam waving at people leaving the ground was irritating. Just get off the ground with your head bowed!

I think it is premature to just say start over. Whilst I agree it not looking good the reality is where one game off third. As Max pointed out we have been pretty good at bouncing back. Let just get through KB there are some proud players in our group surely there will be a response. Getting fired up for KB at the G compared to back of Bourke should not be a problem.

Not trying to be smart but reckon your right Reid would have helped just a little

Melbourne would then fall back into the bottom quarter of the ladder the following season, and in 1979 they suffered the worst defeat in VFL/AFL history, losing to Fitzroy by 190 points in round 17, although they would beat Essendon the following week. You never know was at the Fitzroy game made today a walk in park.
