Kent

We are playing a poor style that wastes energy in my view

No where near attacking enough and the forwards system is non existent

Richmond could test us if we don't take the game on

Unless we were guaranteed of picking up a gun key fwd with that pick then it’s a no, Petty I think is only 24 currently.

We are still very much in our window this year and next. We’ve managed to find some great players in recent times with either later picks or rookie drafts. While May & Gawn are still out there we must go all out for another flag if not 2.

Petty is a long way off gun reliable forward

Still not convinced

I was at the game last night and I'm afraid I didn't see lack of interest or effort. I saw that we were up against a talented team and our systems weren't working as they have been. They pressured us and we often fumbled or chose bad options while they were on song and very, very slick.

A very fair reasonable and balanced review

And this is particularly apparent when teams get runs on, which leads to the question, is it because of:

- Pig-headedness?

- A lack of of risk appetite? an aversion to risk? 

- Poor game-day tactics?

- holes in the list? 

- poor game-day selection? or

- a combination of the above? 

This is a lingering issue that's been around for the whole of Goodwin's tenure as head coach IMO. 

 a combination of the above? !!!!!

Stil think Salem is well below his best at the moment

Perhaps if Bowey was fit Salem would be dropped

Who is he replacing? Isnt he another vanilla HFF

May for Hore and Tholstrup for Chandler if he doesn't get up

And if May misses?

Does anyone else see any problems with JVR's dukes? He has been getting good hands to the ball but nothing seems to be sticking. He's been busting packs but at the same time has spilled a few marks I expected him to take.

Concrete hands needs a mentor and a lot of work to fix

He may be better playing a different role hard hands and small body can't work in contested situstions

It feels as though some people just want to be outraged no matter what is happening.

It's like the Tasmanian stadium talk, they need to view this as an investment into the future of the state with potential sporting events and concerts to be held. Instead there are pollie's using the current economic issues to try stop progression, while fixing both is not necessarily unachievable.

Yes why don't they bid for the next commonwealth games for a start!

Maybe it is. Salary caps mean not all our players can be stars. Just maybe he's the best player available at that price range.

Whats his price range?  I can work out $per kick

Oh yeah baby

Lots of love for ANB

Just love his game and style

Was discugusted by listening to Gerard Wheatley carry on the other day on AFL 360 that politicians in this country should 'grow some spine and get behind these new stadium builds' with reference to the Gabba/Olympics and Hobart stadium funding.  Geez Gerard not everyone can be gifted taxpayer gazillions like Geelong to rebuild thier boutique stadium.

While I'm all for appropriate investment in stadiums such has occurred to the MCG over the years, in the current economic climate, I agree that it's not really appropriate.  WA/Perth are rolling in mineral royalties, so thier recient upgrade isn't such an issue.  The Gabba is still a great quality stadium, although possibly 10,000 seats too small at times.  If there is really so much wrong with the Launceston and Hobat stadiums, the AFL should stop Hawthorn and North playing there imeediatley and give back the Tassie govenment all that sponsorship funding.

What I think the new Tassie govenment really needs to do is get some gumshum and go to the AFL CEO bloke who replaced Gillam what's his name and say "Hey AFL we've got 100,000 members signed up her now give us the F@#*ing team we should have had 10 years ago when you poored millions into a team in Western Sydney that still only has 20,000 members.  We'll play games at the existing stadiums in Hobart and Launceston until we're good and ready and maybe you can put in somd cash to upgrade them to persevere the game in a grass roots football state."

Yep to all of that

AFL should fund the stadium. Lnng suffering taxpayers being done by pissant politicians who only see what's in it for them

Go Jackie stick it up them

What's happened to Rivers ?

Stats are plummeting as above 

Is he injured?

Should be a law against Kneeing a player in the ribs

Not a good look and can cause real damage i have suffered one similar and it still is tender 50 years later

That’s yours and PF’s opinion and that’s totally fine, coz we’re all entitled to an opinion. I actually agree with you. But it’s the constant repetition that does my head in. Especially on GameDay. Saying the same thing a bazillion times won’t change anything.

Also, I’ve only had one coffee thus far and I’m a little cranky. Apologies 😭

Have another cup on me

I sense you’re not happy about the selection of Petty. Not sure why I get that impression; maybe it’s because you’ve mentioned it A THOUSAND TIMES.

Hey! Maybe we’ve just found a new nickname for Petts… “Underdone” or perhaps, “Statless” 🙄

I agree with Picket 

There is just no need to select him this week Would benefit from a game at VFL and ease him into Adelaide

This is what I suspect, too. The helmets are a reminder of the AFL  at the tribunal in their attempt to appear as though they were serious about head trauma, only to dish up a half-arsed performance coz Collingwood. That’s how I see it.

I watched the replay yesterday and was disappointed to see that after only one of *our goals they showed the cheer squad as opposed to after almost every goal in other matches, and even then because of all the flags and giant heads waving, the helmets weren’t visible. It’s a shame because we may well have raised more $ for the Danny Frawley Centre had we been given exposure.

* The WB cheer squad were shown after three of their goals which is also less than usual. I guess the idea was to even things up. 🤷‍♀️ 

Thanks WCW we are involved with a corrupt organization in my view The commentators made no mention of the helmets I'm guessing  they need their jobs
