Count the missed sitter goals by us, that then just rebounded for goals by them. If we kicked a few of the gimmes we win. Should have been up by about 6-7 goals at half time. Our poor kicking for goal kept them within distance.

If we had kicked some of our gimme goals we would have won easily and that has happened a few times this year.

The answer was given early, when Maynard drove Langdon's head into the ground the first time he touched it and then 5 more Pies jumped on Ed and roughed him up. Why on earth would you give an opponent an edge?

I tried not to have a go at a ruckman, who has had 31 possies and run himself into the ground. If you want me to though I will, his kicking for goal is disgraceful. People on here want him up forward, please, he is so slow to give the ball off that when they handball to him, it is a rebound. Salem shouldn't smile after missing that goal, if your head is truly in the game you wouldn't. Kozzie was hopeless tonight and I agree he shirked the contest and then tried to play pretty. The Pies were maniacal. Look at their ferocity at the ball and the man. Maynard could have killed a few of ours. Didn't see that from us. They use the ball well and we don't. They kick their goals and we don't. Fancy having 93 more possies and about 30 more inside 50's and losing. That is unbelievable. They don't have a total momentum killer on the ground like we do.He has cost us two games IMO. I don't care about pressure acts, if you turn it over every possession. Chandler must be packed up ready to leave, if he can't get a game ahead of ANB. We lost our fitness guy and it is showing. We have been run over about 7 times now. We have won one game in Melbourne in the last 10. The kicking of bombs to the pocket is costing us games. It may have helped us get a flag, but as Scott said, we are so predictable and easy to play against and it is costing us badly. Our coaches appear to have done absolutely nothing about this. I know what Goody will say, we didn't play our game well enough and long enough.Well how about saying I have not coached well this year. It helps when the umpires give about 6 soft goals to the opposition and you can't buy a basic free.

But we bomb it long and play a total momentum killer who is never dropped. Hope your smiling now Salem after an easy goal missed. Cant wait for the we will smash Carlton predictions. We have won one game in Melbourne in last 10.

This why I never post that we will smash a side.

They kick to loose men and we bomb it in usually to the boundary.

That’s an understatement.

At least 6 holding the balls not paid to us. Just then against Crisp 5 metres out red hot. Paid against us in a milli second for soft goals.

They have the umps in the back pocket.

Are you allowed to bury a guys head in the ground because he makes a comment?

Nice day.

I think we are all up the Creek without a paddle and the thread is giving me the Schitts.

It’s getting a bit ordinary on here.

Turner after starting well, was off concussed early in the second quarter.

They will get plenty of them tonight.

Oh you two lovebirds. You forgot to mention heavily intoxicated.

The ex Crows Chairman , Rob Chapman, should take a long hard look at himself. He denied in a public statement, everything we have heard about the camp and basically had a go at anyone complaining. He would have spoken to the FD before his statement, made some time after the issue blew up. He was aware of the allegations and what went on. He showed no care for his players at all. Mark Riccuto is not far behind him.

Mihocek is a big in for them, as he always plays well against us.

You mean Lions.

Yes OD they do. Weid has played 59 games in 7 years and only kicked more than 13 goals in one year. Weid has constantly been bagged by Dees fans throughout his career. I don't recall that happening to Jack at the same stage. He was an automatic in every week, until 2017, when he still played 16 games, after playing 82 in the previous 4 years.

Yes I understand that, but I meant right now if he was available, with our lack of fit and experienced key forwards, he would be in the side and that he was a better player at the same age than Weid. He kicked 6 goals against the Crows in his first game with Port.

Joel is 1cm shorter than Mihocek and possibly as good a mark, but just can't stay on the park.

Agree. If I recall correctly, Demetriou said there was no such thing as tanking, as the Coach wasn't telling players to go out and lose. Then in a great piece of comedy, Gil said he didn't even know what tanking was. Andersen stuffed this up, trying to be too smart and then lost his job, soon after a furious Demetriou returned from his holiday.

BBB is limited with a knee injury and we have no one else ATM, as an experienced and fit key forward. Jack Watts would be in our team tomorrow night, if he was Weid's age and on our list. Yes I can say we would be better off ATM, with him. It is my opinion. My comments on him were really in answer to a poster who said Weid and Watts were the same and both failures. Watts played 150 games for us in a far worse side. I could see Spargo, Tracc and others passing to Watts, who would kick goals for us and was a better mark and kick than Weid as well. I am not saying he was a champion, but is a better player than Weid and would be handy in this far better Demons side.
