Disgusting performance today, simply disgusting

Not wholly his fault, but gee it can knock the wind out of you when a team mate turns the ball over every possession and I mean every possession. Even his poster from 20 out gave them possession and yes I know that was facetious, but I thought that was nothing but a terrible game by a skilless footballer who destroyed every thrust we had when he got involved. I would have delisted him at half time. We will go nowhere if we play guys like him. They just kill you.

I never am, as an eternal pessimist. Makes sense now that we didn't go too tall.

My thoughts exactly and especially so in short turnarounds or after games in difficult conditions.

That's what I thought. He was hard at the ball and the man.

Shows a poor knowledge of what is actually happening. The coaching staff would be laughing.

I note VDB and McKenna are now listed as indefinite. To me that just about spells their time is up with us. If they both miss two full seasons, I couldn't see them being retained.

We had him and let him go, he is staying at Port and it is time to move on.

And Roughead got the first 3 goals by pushing our defenders straight in the back without penalty and then the maggots gave them free kick goals for the slightest touch. They also had Burgoyne and we didn't have Max.

Did anyone notice at the Eagles/Cats game, when Hawkins was having a shot after the siren, all the flashing lights on the fence and on the stands started and the Eagles song blurted out. I would have thought that rules require the umpires to signal the end before all that crap starts. Remember we missed out on finals last year by one goal.

Oscar has conceded one goal in 3 games where he was beaten in a contest. Hawkins was goalless, Hipwood got one when on the ball and Brown got a few from soft frees and only one in a contest with Oscar.

Correct. He actually glanced away from the ball to see what was coming a few times, which probably led to the dropped marks. He also turned the wrong way several times and took the wrong option. If you are bringing in Gus next week , I think ANB will be the one to make way for him. That is a positive of depth on the list .

Umpire 26 should actually publicly apologise for that.

Sidebottom just got off a sling tackle where he pinned the arms and in two motions drove the guys' head into the ground. Frost was not as bad, therefore he goes.

Umpire 26 thought Kent might have done something, but as he didn't, it means the incompetent umpire pays frees when he actually doesn't see an infringement. Just brilliant.

Umpire 26 should be banished to New Guinea football league 4ths.

You are obviously including the boundary umpire who paid out, when Harmes clearly marked it inside the line. Umpire 26 should never get another game. Jono Brown summed it up well with " the umpires had a very bad game today ". Roos was pretty scathing and Eddie and Sandy said a few times they were stunned. On the other hand we fought hard for a great win.

CHEATS.

True. If you bomb it in with no talls you must spoil and bring it to ground. I worry that our coaches are not helping this side, but rather relying on talent and effort without giving alternatives in game plans or tactics. I would even kick the ball along the ground to stuff up theur defence and counter their rebound.

Actually they are worse and we clearly do nothing about it ala the Scott brothers for example.

It is obviously in part tied to the new facility they are looking at.

Nor did I see Bugg still in the side. How you keep a guy in the forward line who can't kick is beyond me. It can't be just pressure. Then again what else can it be?

He will be staying with Dees and his brother IMO.

The article also says that we will continue to operate the Bentleigh Club without pokies after 2022. You can back it in that we won't do that for any extended period, if at all.

Won't be putting $11m in the bank long term, it has obviously been earmarked for better use.
