I'd rather be blooding Verall first personally.

The smoke still needs to settle on this one. Everyone is still hurting and I don't blame them. I can't quite buy into the wholesale changes attitude yet though. I'd like to get games into some youth but not at the expense of handing in the season just yet.

I'm done. Try to have a nice week all, pity the weekend had to end this way. GDs

Why send Jefferson to the slaughterhouse?

I really don't know

Play baby and bathwater, also toys out of the cot as sub.

They had the answers though and controlled the game right up until the last 8 minutes. I'm done with arguing about last week's game but the reality is we were no-where near as good in that game as people give us credit for.

Well I can't imagine that's directed at me because I agree. Today was very telling and showed an underbelly that I thought had been dead a long time. I thought the loss to Essendon in Gather Round last year was a critical loss but this one, it won't be forgotten quickly.

We got binfolded

Credit to At The Break Of Gawn in the postgame thread: "Oliver and Petracca have only once finished in the top 5 disposal getters together this season (against the Dogs). Jack Viney has not had more than 25 disposals in a game this season." This was once a midfield trio to be feared and these numbers are a major problem. Is this a blip or has the decline come sooner than we thought?

Listen to the band!

It's not. The kid is not close to ready.

10 goals from turnover for them, 1 for us. In a game style where that stat matters that's game over right there.

I really, really, really want what you're having..

"Midfield malice. How Dees engine room has gone from elite to mince meat"

It would be a great shame if the decline was starting now.

All I can I hope for right now is no bloodshed on DL tonight. Everyone is devastated and we don't need a bar-room brawl.

6. Kozzie 5. Nibbler 4. Petracca 3. Gawn 2. Salem 1. Get stuffed

Wish we had more Kozzies

The selection really was a joke this week. Lost some honest toilers in the last few years and picked up some erratic pick and choose when to goers. Will give e McAdam more of a chance but he was way off. I don't know what Billings is offering us right now apart from fluffing chances from 15 out and the odd target hit. Please please please selection committee, put Taj Woeeodin in the team next week. We need heart right now, not apparent skill or name.

I'm not angry, I'm disappointed. Like a really let down parent.

Fork in the road. It hurts right now but what happens next is what counts.

***9:11pm when the first wristslashing remark came up***

Really hope it's only up from here for McAdam. I was not impressed, not making the distance from forty? Also clearly went to the Jeff Garlett school of forward pressure.

Honestly, the one thing I can't get out of my head right now is which way will we go after this? Could be fatal or the making. Fork in the road
