We have ‘played’ 20 quarters of football this season. Low goals scored in a quarter 0 goals - one time 1 goal- eight times 2 goals - five times

Bedford kick for a hogan mark and goal is not the tonic I need right now

I am starting to think maybe getting the Grand Final Guarantee was a mistake this year.

At least there won't be any queues in the Frank Grey Smith Bar

I cant remember Nibbler's vom, best all time AFL vom belongs to Jobe Watson i reckon.

Id just be happy with an Erling Haaland.

Out of the team -> kicks 5 in the VFL -> brought back -> team struggles -> out of the team again.

The evil fritta

There is a small sample size of transitional play which look promising up until a bad kick inside the F50. Which seemingly may be a flaw with the plan given our list. But agreed - definitely some indecision on the players behalf when chipping the ball around, not sure who to kick to, not sure what to do themselves.

Yep, Goodie did foresee some 'teething issues' with the new gameplan but some of the team stats have been confronting. We're not stagnant, we're going backwards. Add to that our midfield/forward connection has been stuffed for too long. If we were playing well and losing, you'd ride the storm. If we don't win I want us to be competitive or at least entertaining, and we've failed at that the last 15 games or so. Goodie deserves all his flowers for his efforts here, but I'm sure he'd realize there needs to be improvement and quick.

Interesting question, if there was a player dropped or a late out through injury that was meant to be celebrating a milestone match, what does the Demon Army do? @Ghostwriter

Any chance Fritta misses this week, saw he has a new born?

Last 2 games we've had injuries very early, so there is a risk to this strategy, especially with our 4th quarters so far this season.

Injurie aside, as others have mentioned they have a lot of players outperforming their contract values, so probably a wise decision from Hawthorn to hold back a little here

Turn my phone off to avoid social media and the 142 posts from the bombers fans I have on social media.

This is popping into multiple sports these days. Players seemingly have more comradery these days and have a joke after a game (apart from Mac Andrew aha), doesnt always sit well with older players or fans.

Ankles are pesky beasts though. Speaking of old mate Tommo, think it was reported that collingwood are eyeing him up for the mid-season draft as a replacement for Reef McInnes

a few "buyer bewares" on the lad - but expect him to turn his career around in Geelong, that's how it works isnt it?

If you were collingwood would you rather Rowell or Petracca?

I'm not sure if Fullarton has the goods, but he's in form and is 200cm, worth a shot. Even if he's not clunking marks he has some extra reach to try bring ball down for smalls

We only have 3 players over 200cm, Fullarton (200cm), Campbell (201cm) and Gawn (209cm) GCU currently have 6 players 200cm+ so hopefully Kalani sees more progression with us, but we need another giant in the short-term too.

The Roar'Oh, yuck!' Young Dee goes on Handball Comp, has one of t...Harvey Langford's got some work to do on using his right hand!Young kid has something to work on, i'm sure he'll improve with his other hand.

i think we're all a little chris from camberwell in 2025

Given Oscar Allen likely on the way out at WCE, do you think its a risk dropping WA born JvR? I know he has a long term contract, but still concerned about having his head turned Still think a lot of this was injuries/suspension based, so wont judge him too much for this
