  1. Our inability to run out games against good opposition is alarming. Last season we were floating on air in last quarters, this season we look shot. I reiterate against GOOD opposition - we look 2020 like, as soon as pressure is heaped on us our lack of skill to execute is exposed. We get luxuries against average teams which make us look a million bucks but last night was the blue print for how to rattle us. Pressure, harass, and watch us turn it over - don't give us time to set up going back there other way and punish our turnovers. Game over
  2. Won't happen but Neal Bullen and Salem are in a rich vein of shocking form. Unrecognisable from last season. Goody will run out the same old crew
  3. Are you allowed to play on the final day of the 12 days?
  4. I believe in this team. We have lifted for high stakes interstate matches without fail for the best part of the past 2 years and I don't expect tonight to be any different 👿
  5. Kozzie racially abused on social media. Called out by Petracca and Clayton. Pathetic and saddening after such a special performance.
  6. Don't think we have as much leverage as you think, if Jackson leaves that leaves us with one ruckman on be list. We're as desperate for Grundy as they are to shed some $
  7. If this Grundy trade were to happen we would most likely be asked to flip one of the Jackson 1st rounders to the pies.
  8. I'm not sold on the Gawn forward move. Been torched by his accuracy on goal more than once. Sure he can clunk them but it will only exacerbate our inability to convert if we lean on that move even more heavily than we are now. Would much rather chase a KPF who can put them through the big sticks with high regularity.
  9. Slept on it now to give a proper analysis of what I witnessed at the G last night. We should have put the game to bed by half way through the 3rd, however I will say apart from Max in the first quarter, Koz on the run dead in front from 40 and possibly Salem's 50 metre penalty miss, all of our shots were quite low percentage shots. Why? Because we don't have the forward line mix that lead to dangerous spots, nor a midfield that have the foot skills to pick out such leads. Not using the corridor to any effect is not helping. Composure. It was an insane asylum at times with the crowd noise and we either ran out of legs or panicked, the transferral of pressure by hand to someone in a worse position really needs to be looked at - its 2020 -type play that I thought we had moved past. Hibberd, Langdon, Jordon and Oliver were the biggest culprits of this. Credit to Collingwood their frontal pressure was immense and we really crumbled. Ground ball crumbs in the D50. Shame on our mids last night, to allow the likes of Mihocek and Johnson to waltz through and crumb their own marking contests was embarrassing. Our back 6 was all at sea in D50 for most of the night too and they looked vulnerable for the first time in a long time. They looked like a high chance of scoring every time they went in.
  10. Tell me something worse than losing to that mob in that manner. Absolutely gutted. So many missed opportunities...
  11. Is Harmes walk up best 22 anymore? I actually rated the balance of the team more with Hunt breaking some lines off HBF and Gus in the middle. Looked quite potent.
  12. Relevant to Jackson as if he leaves Andrew would have become our second ruck with a similar athletic profile to Luke - and now the ruck stocks might be extremely thin unless we get a B grade backup this trade period.
  13. Saw Mac Andrew is debuting for GC this week. It still pisses me off that we got robbed of our academy player cause the AFL decided to change the rules the one year we finally had a decent prospect... after years of other clubs reaping the rewards.
  14. Now that's a positive spin if I ever saw one
  15. I daresay Melksham will sit on Bailey Dale who has been pivotal to the dogs ball movement this year. I also rated his unselfish attitude inside and around the arcs, he's always been a decent field kick. Willing to give him another chance after a solid outing last week
  16. Clayton looked really bothered by his hand injury. Hope it's nothing significant
  17. I have a left field idea. What about throwing Petty forward? He started there in his career and looked decent. We know he can take a mark, we know he's competitive when the ball hits the deck. Leave Tommo in, drop Ben Brown, swing Harry forward
  18. Easter - families on holiday
  19. Words don't do justice to how much this means. Tough year but this team has brought us all so much joy. Couldn't be prouder. Soak it in everyone 💙❤
  20. Richmond have the draft assets to satisfy Fremantle but apparently have no room in their TPP. Unlikely is what I've heard
  21. Apologies if this has already been mentioned but thought Petty was superb today. Hard to imagine he'll be playing at Casey much over the next decade
