    Smallest looking big I've ever seen. So weak as in the ruck, didn't lead up to the ball when forward. Looked dead set scared of contact against McIntosh .At least now we know. Back to Casey then delist. Jvr or Johnson need to be in ahead of him
  2. We really need the bench to stop showing the 2 min sign. We switch off every time
  3. Increased when Trac , clarry had it
  4. Wouldn't be a game this year without some red time goals against , 2 in 10 seconds to finish off nice
  5. The 4 gamer !
  6. What is Salem these days he can't defend and doesn't attack from half back. He is symbolic of the fall of our team
  7. Sparrow is playing !??
  8. BS free kick
  9. May will tough it out get back on the ground and then miss the next 12 weeks
  10. Pressure non existent
  11. Problem is majority of our forward entries and slow movement from back to half forward means we go long and high which is just getting picked off. If we somehow manage to start leading and keep the ball movement quick and low it might work
  12. Chandler didn't play as a small forward where you watching?
  13. There won't be any emotions or surprises. Change the channel or go to bed
  14. We run past for the handball but the receiver had no idea what that are going to do with it so they just bomb forward
  15. Yeah I remember, geelong has turned over and improved their list and their game style since. We have not
  16. Effort but no skill or composure, same 5hit with this group won't change. Been this way for nearly 10 years. Had a great few weeks in 21 but we are what we are
  17. Sparrow , sharp 4. & 5 touches just not good enough
  18. Sharp
  19. Probably an honourable, but showed signs tonight. I hate blaming umps but [censored] me. They give Geelong an eternity to get rid of the ball "play on" any 50)50 free kick Geelong
  20. I wish I could bet on it " concede a goal with less than 30 seconds" we do it at least twice a game
  21. 80% of our handballs are either to high or at the feet. Basic skills are so bad
  22. Nope umpire needs to signal before qtr is over. We really are taking the [censored] with the way we manage to give up goals in red time

    Came here to say the same thing. Goodwin lacks social awareness and how comments will get reported on. How he thought that mentioning gawn had some sort of personal issue was going to do anything other than cause more focus and attention to said issue is showing a severe lack of judgement. Goodwin has been in the AFL system for nearly 30 years he should get it
  24. Hopefully it doesn't continue both are natural wingers and can get forward for a goal . Net negative having them play back and midfield IMHO
  25. 100% agree on Windsor and Langdon 2 of our shining lights last year. Langdon back to his best after a couple of down years and Windsor drawing comparisons to the great Robbie flower running up and down the wings for us. So what do we do ?? Move them into the guts and half back
