We better bring the heat otherwise we will be blown away by the pies. Even if we do manage to apply maximum pressure I doubt we will be able to convert our chances. I’m not looking forward to this game

rubbish free kick.

looked like it was touched

very poor i50 delivery from harmes there

matt kennedy has been a great pick up for the dogs

good call so far

Some great games this weekend starting with tonight Really hope doggies pump the hawks

Big yes from me

a coat and scarf solves that problem

these big infrastructure projects are just naked pork barrelling a perfectly good stadium can be built for at least half the price a roof is totally unncessary tax payers shouldn't have to stump up for poor value, pork barrelling projects hopefully common sense prevails

Our goal kicking is disgusting. Practice makes perfect. Gotta get technique right and the only way to do that is through repetition. These players are paid to kick goals. They should practice for an hour each day at least. In the pressure of game day they can then fall back on that repetition.

Our goal kicking is hurting our ladder position far more.

We need the money. That’s just a commercial fact. Plus Alice was not the reason we lost that game. We’ve [censored] ourselves in front of goals at the G plenty.

Perhaps the fact he has been suspended already this season was a factor.

His only AFL attribute is his aggression. But this is his second suspension in 5 games so it’s become a liability. He’s probably a ripper bloke but unfortunately he has no skills to be an afl player. If not suspended he should have been dropped anyways.

I reckon we have the same mental block as the English soccer team have with penalty shootouts. You can practice all day but nothing replicates the pressure of executing when the pressure is on.

Professional players should be able to consistently kick straight. If they continually botch it then I reckon that’s on them. Also, Chocco is the skills coach. I think he should be the one under the spotlight not goody.

his injury profile is a big concern. his ankles appear to be stuffed

I'm still annoyed about yesterday but life goes on I'll be focussing on the development of our youngsters for the rest of the year give bill Laurie a block of games. see what he's made of. I'd like to see Adams also

the next poster that mentions loading i'm putting them on ignore

we can;t afford to lose anymore than 3 games. tough game against the pies next week. crows and suns away to come its not over yet but the fat lady is starting to clear her throat

kossie and trac missed from about 10-15 out in front of goal plenty of gettable shots missed besides. from memory 3-4 from approx 45m out in front of goal you may be right overall about our half forwards but they were not the reason we lost today

I hate the pies with a passion but their kicking skills were sublime against the Hawks They will slice and dice us JVR in for AJ i suppose leave the rest of the team as is. its just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic anyways given we can't kick for toffee

youngsters a big positive for mine. let's go and get a proper skills / kicking coach to ensure we get full value from this young group

my predicted score next week pies 18.6 demons 6.18
