Bates Mate

We really lack skillful smart players in the midfield. Yet we look out best when Trac, clarry and Viney are out centre square mids. Quite the conundrum

Jvr, Judd mcvee and Chandler have had 3 mediocre weeks in a row after great starts to the year. McDonald is really past it for the role he is being asked to play no mobility or ground ball ability. Hunter several soft acts staying to get on my nerves. Wouldn't be upset if all of the above didn't play next week

I absolutely despise the sush celebration. Said to my mate that's the Collingwood still in him.

We didn't deserve to win. Got ourselves in a position to and got dominated in the last qtr. Some missed calls and free kicks at crucial stages hurt. But we need to be better. A 20 year old developing key forward and shot cumbersome one isn't going to work .

Can't carry jvr and tmac

We are a crappy wet weather team

I did get flashbacks. Was no where near it when he came back last year. Surely we have learnt and he is more ready to go this time around

+1 I've got 3 kids under 12 who play early Saturday morning sport so they don't even get to watch out the full game on tv let alone go to the game

Maybe the investigation had unearthed some damming evidence? Either way the way it's been handled is appalling and would take a toll on anyone. The AFL are so incompetent at times

8.1 since opening up with 0.5 is good.

Jvr finally did get what he deserved

You know what they say about common sense. It isn't common

Genuine question if he went for a mark in the same situation running back and took someone out would he be suspended? I suspect not! Just farcical and no sense of the game these muppets

[censored], hope this dosen't end up with roo hesitant to hit packs full throttle

No Petty, simple as that for mine. No coincidence that they couldn't get past half majority of the last qtr when Petty was back. Vital to the structure the past 3 years

kozzie started mid. Was on fire then spent the next 3 quarters anchored inside the 50. Some really bad coaching tonight

Agree, and they hung Turner out to dry , leaving him one out on casbolt the majority of the game. So undersized compared to him. Jvr needs brown back in. We need Petty back the moves are obvious hopefully see it next week.

I've seen some bad takes this is one of them

Petty back FFS

Dead set liability this year

Backline look all at sea since Petty been moved. Get him back and Brown in

It can be holding the ball without prior can it not?

These teams are both meh.

Yes respect that he had won 3 flags. But can't stand him. Constant whiney deflecter these days

if the AFL give them the GWS type draft concessions it will be hard to access top tier draft picks
