I'll preface this by saying I like petty but he was destroyed yesterday. Can mark pretty well but his decision making on when to mark and when to spoil is not yet there. Too often gets bodied out of the contest. And when he gets the ball in a close situation his first thought is to grab the ball tight and fall to the ground, I guess attempting to force a stoppage. I find it hard to know whether this is being coached into him or whether he is nervous about his place in the side or if he genuinely doesn't have an attacking mode. He's young and the jury is still out but I would like to see more progress from him soon.

Our fwd line has not clicked all year. We have experimented with it but we haven't really crushed a team to date. Weid definitely needs a spell in the 2 's.. Bring in anyone that will compete. Brown M or B doesn't matter

This. Oliver needs some serious goal kicking coaching from Mark Williams

we have just had 10 days off. Seriously. Oh they were tired.

This team has got big heads. Oliver and Trac were terrible - trying to take on all comers. Olivers' kicks for goal are putrid. Trac thinks he' s auditioning for a Hollywood movie today. The fwd line was a genuine debacle. The ease at which Pies players marked the ball and exited our fwd 50 was reminiscent of the terrible years a decade ago. Where are all the Weid defenders today? What a pathetic game. You could almost forgive him if he stopped Moore but MOore was one of their best. Fritsch chooses to play every second week. And TMac? Not sure what happened to him today. But there was simply no cohesions and everyone was playing for themselves. I have no voice from screaming at our players to man up - the number of times a Pie player would get the ball and there would be 3 or 4 immediate options with none of our players chasing nearly made me throw up. The defence was a complete shambles and our slow predicatable ball movement proved easy to counter today. They had 14 marks inside their 50 by fourth quarter. Horrid defending Blueprint to beat Melbourne is simply get the ball in quickly and don't allow our defenders to defend. They seemed unable to dop that one on one today. The usual suspects will come out saying 'oh we are 11 and 2 , what a great result" but we have seen this movie too many times before. We simply cannot crush teams we are expected to beat. And when it counts we had no leaders on the field. Digusting performance against a really average team.

Its clear Goodwin didn't

2nd goal from a terrible free kick In a low scoring game [censored] off maggots

3/4 time Weideman 0 kicks 0 marks Jog on, hopeless

Big heads. Playing like millionaires

Terrible first half. Letting them run ragged. Paying them no respect. Can't pick up our men. They've had 11 marks in their fwd 50. The defence is a rabble today. Their mids are waltzing it out of the centre and Our fwd line is non existent. Weid can go back to the 2nds Not much to fix up at half time. A giant rocket up the backside is well called for

9 marks inside 50 Our defence is being torn a new one

Pe tty having a mare

Petty 2 errors

His skills are terrible and you have to nominate who he will replace.... His days in the firsts are gone I;m afraidi

Reported as $300k

Couldn't work out why Yeo was on his own at most of the centre bounces...

.

Yes that was a great highlight. Magnificent. But he only had 9 kicks and 1 goal that game. And it was quite a few years ago now...

And Weid is out of contract. He may leave. How would our fwd line look then?

Dean Kent? The guy that can't get a game for the basket case St Kilda? Sheesh that's bizarre

You were expecting TMac to have an AA year then I assume? Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

They're playing for their careers as well remember

Pendlebury numb " i have never experienced this before" Have a chat to Nathan Jones chum, he's had 7 coaches....!

Ross Lyon

I didn't suggest that was his reason. You asked and I stated it could be a reason. We don't know. He's out of contract and someone could have offered him $850k a season. Who knows? He hasn't signed a contract with Melbourne. But that wasn't my point at all if you care to read what I said.
