Roost it far

It drizzled that day

So you're happy with players consistently bombing it to no one in particular. Oliver gained 750m and is lauded, I reckon his 750m cost us 3000m back the other way. Yes we should have won and would have if we kicked straight, that's a no brainer. However our kicking inside 50 and even further back was atrocious. The Pies knew to pressure the kicker and we succumbed. Our forwards are often not leading and our mids are often bombing it behind any leads that do occur, or worse just plain ignoring others in better positions. What keeps me in the hopeful camp is this game was a mirror image of the GWS game and we recovered from that pretty well. I'm dirty with that loss, we just may have gifted the Pies a flag.

My bigger point being that Maynard dropping wine off doesn’t make his action worse and we’d be best to stick to the incident.

Leave it out, you’ve now said your piece 4 times to him. He’s got his opinion and he’s entitled to it.

I think you’ll find they’re friends and Brayshaw is keen on his wine. Let’s stick to the incident shall we.

I’m sorry but how can you not see us winning when literally 2 more shots on goal go through and we’d of win on Thursday. We play Carlton and yes I’ll admit watching them in the first half against Sydney I thought we were toast. However we’re not, far from it. We played the Collingwood game much like the GWS game, almost identical in fact bar the rain although it was damp on Thursday. After that game we were unbeaten bar the Blues “not really a loss” loss. We’re in this, right in it, The Bears will be tough but we’ll beat Carlton.

Don’t do it to yourself

I’m going to follow you and others and run around flapping my arms 👍

You’re a drama queen. Yes, we’d all love Petty and Melksham playing but they’re not. We lost because of literally 2 poor shots on goal, that’s it.

Now you’re talking 💪👊

Please do

Play Grundy in the ruck as he’s great as an extra mid when the ball hits the deck ala Luke Jackson. Let him and Max share the ground. He has to come in, there’s no one else

Can’t believe we lost to those mugs

As our the injuries to Petty and Melksham. It’s time to dig in and kick some butt

Minus Brayshaw, JVR and Gawn’s foot

Oh Dave

We just need to win, losing isn’t an option.

Thanks for that, really helps my mood

Jeez we gave these scumbags a leg up to a flag…..[censored]!!! I really hope we get another crack

I don’t think it’s left us with a deficiency in that area though. My concerns lie with the drop off of Salem and Langdon. I also actually think we’re going to be pretty strong forward of the ball once Petty is back.

We’d still be better off with Bedford over Chandler. That was as clear last year as it is now. In saying that I’m not overly disappointed as both are now best 22 in finals teams.

Turner played forward and dominated, 31 marks, 15 goals 2 behinds, 17 tackles, 133 pressure acts, 41 goal assists and 2 smothers. Grundy had 128 hit outs, 98 to advantage and kicked 2 with 33 disposals and 14 marks. JJ had 56 disposals, 45 contested, 2200m gained and kicked 3.

He's not that player, never has been, never will be.

Firstly, you implied we hadn't be playing tough, hard football which is rubbish. Secondly we were carrying multiple injuries to some of our best players last year, plus it's last year, so hardly relevant. We'll lose JVR, likely for Grundy, which in all honesty, is a pretty damn fine swap. Don't forget Grundy's a bloody good footballer. We've lost Brayshaw and JJ is an adequate replacement. Lower the eyes, kick straight, don't panic. In all honesty I think those early goals to Collingwood and losing Brayshaw to a concussion through us off. By mid way through the second we were on top, sadly we couldn't get it done. You can run around yelling the sky is falling flapping your arms or you can knuckle down and win 3 games of football. I reckon I know what the club will do but hey after the first half of last night I was thinking Carlton will floor us so what would I know?

Take it easy, you'd be saying how awesome everything is had we kicked straight 3-4 more times. The forward line is a busted up Comodore atm. The fact we were even in it is a small miracle.
