  1. 100 percent agree. He looks confused out there. Slow to kick it in. Loses his opponent all the time.
  2. Yeah that ear piece thing was baffling. From my interpretation he awarded north a free late, a north player kicked a point before the late whistle, the essendon players argued that north took the advantage so the point should stand instead of a free kick 10m out from goal, so the ump said I'll just ball it up
  3. Fair enough didn't feel like it live watching on tv. Surely the umpire gave a warning as they usually do a few seconds before calling play on?
  4. Also not sure what the hell happened when the ump called a few kick to north then changed it to a ball up after hearing something in the ear piece .wtf never seen that happen
  5. Play on, with that shot on goal was not 30 seconds
  6. Petty I'd assume, he's actually not a zero in there. Langford into the middle, Windsor to the wing. Petty/disco/tmac to pinch hit in the ruck when needed. Jvr hasn't kicked goals this year and 5 against a local footy standard vfl Richmond team is a good start but not sure who else you suggest to come in and kick goals. Turner and melk are an improvement to Fullerton. I am often critical of our selections but this week they make sense to me.
  7. Petty I'd assume, he's actually not a zero in there.
  8. Happy with the ins, Jvr needs another couple good weeks against decent opposition. Now with mcvee back it frees up rivers or Windsor to shift mid. Id get Caleb to the wing and Langford to play majority clarry minutes in the guts
  9. 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
  10. We really need the bench to stop showing the 2 min sign. We switch off every time
  11. Increased when Trac , clarry had it
  12. Wouldn't be a game this year without some red time goals against , 2 in 10 seconds to finish off nice
  13. The 4 gamer !
  14. 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
  15. Sparrow is playing !??
  16. BS free kick
  17. May will tough it out get back on the ground and then miss the next 12 weeks
  18. Pressure non existent
  19. 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
  20. Chandler didn't play as a small forward where you watching?
  21. There won't be any emotions or surprises. Change the channel or go to bed
  22. 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
  23. Yeah I remember, geelong has turned over and improved their list and their game style since. We have not
  24. 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
  25. Sparrow , sharp 4. & 5 touches just not good enough
