When kicking like tonight.

Jackson for the Rising Star this round

Can that guy in the helmet tell us what he's done with Brayshaw?

Listen to this nuffie crowd complaining about blatant frees against the Crows!

We're seeing two bottom 3 or 4 teams tonight. It is depressing how terrible we've become.

He's been quiet these last couple of games.

Salem's turnover there was terrible.

Could this be the worst conmentary team ever assembled?

Again with a balance-disrupting selection error.

Ha! The last game I saw live. Buried within the Tigers' members area. That was fun. Not.

Winning the next 2 games means nothing. Winning them and knocking Collingwood off might be in the right direction, but doing so with players genuinely putting in is essential. Even so, my concern is that this would all be a result of a collective backside kicking, and regression to the mean will occur before long.

Hogan has a calf injury listed as "test" on the AFL app.

Start by dropping TMac, focus on developing the Weid/Jackson forward setup, get games into Pickett so those wild shots on the run start going through the big uprights, win as many games as we can. With building form and confidence we'll go on a run through the finals from 8th place and lose the GF to West Coast in Perth by 89 points. The game will not be reviewed.

For a while last night I thought they'd have to release an "All the Goal" video this week.

I agree. His value has evaporated. Surely it's that foot injury of his - having to soak it in a bucket of hot water before games to get moving according to TMac himself last year.

May's comments about players needing to concentrate was telling. The interview was great - gave more insight into what wasn't working than a dozen coach's press conferences.

Christ. I've heard Richo "describe" his role on at least three separate interviews and I remain unconvinced even he understands what it is.

To think I'd been looking forward to this evening. We move like treacle, our kicking us terrible, their pressure around the contest squeezed us into so many unusable handpasses. Can't believe this is basically the same team that we saw not two weeks ago. Hopefully AvB is fit next week. Maybe him in for Hannan or Jones? They probably won't drop TMac after one game, but we just looked hopeless up forward with him back. Get Bennell back in we need his smarts. Rest Harmes for Rivers maybe.

Nine do going into round 1.

That and spraying kicks from 30 out wide of the goals are his only attributes.

I like that this is titled the Postgame thread already

Add to that the poise and kicking skills that Bennell's omission robs us of.

We come off a couple of wins, looking sharp and confident. AvB breaks a cheek and of all the players to bring in facing the top 2 teams back to back.

Oh for god's sake Melbourne faffing about with hand passes to players feet 15 out from their goal.

FMD i missed the goal catching up with this thread. Can anything go right tonight???
