Melbourne players are clueless as to what to do. There is confusion from the coaching staff clearly - pretty sure he's not telling them to play like this. We are so Max dominant that we are easy to coach against. Players continually dump kick to Max despite us have free players around. Viney has tunnel vision and simply cannot see free players around him. Is possibly the worst for bombing into our fwd50 Oliver is currently a liability. I'd play him out of the fwd 50. Can't do any worse. Fritsch is insanely frustrating with his poor/lame efforts and lack of physicality. He also has blinkers and misses easy hit up kicks. Something is wrong with May His positioning the last few weeks has been terrible. Teams are forcing him up the ground. He looks lost without Lever, can't bend over and is playing in pain. He has become fumbly. McVee has lost his drive. Howes has become pedestrian. Billings is slow of mind and of foot. Turnover city. Pressure applied has fallen to its lowest this year. The players are cooked in the mind and bereft of confidence. The gameplan has fallen apart. Cant see myself going /watching for the rest of the year. Its too emotionally draining. Goodwin will be Houdini if he can turn this rotting ship around.

Gee that's damning. We're clueless

The comp thinks we are soft targets We play too nice. No mongrel. Think May's ribs, tracc, Brayshaw, May's cheek from Hawkins.

A graphic on On the Couch showed where we had our shots at goal from . No prizes for guessing the left hand fwd pocket was around 75% of shots. Is it any wonder we miss goals from there? Its 2019 all over again. And the Pies while they had a few wide shots managed to nail them.

You'll be spending a lot of time in the bar at $15 a drink because the footy sure as hell ain't worth watching.

The one thing you can do even when you're not playing well is bring pressure Kings birthday, 85,000 people and we play our lowest pressure game for the year No one can sugarcoat that. Not even the Pollyannas on here Something is drastically wrong. The players aren't listening to Goodwin There is no heart. No pride. The time for tinkering is over. Max is a great player, one of our best ever but he's almost a liability now the way we continually dump kick it to him even when other players are free. Even if gets it the players up the ground are static. They are clueless about what to do, where to run, how to tackle, how to kick. Times up Simon

Has Stafford been our fwd coach for the past 3 years? What a joke. Our players are clueless on how to play. There is no system just bomb it to Max. No matter that we have 2 or three free players they continually bomb the ball to Max. As good a player as he is he is almost a liability for us now because we are so easy to coach against.

I'm trying to think whether getting beaten by a Collingwood team with 11 of its first choice players out is worse than being beaten by an Essendon VFL side like we were a few years back. This club has no heart. The can take their pay checks and far8off for all I care

He is one of the worst offenders ignoring free players. Its like he has tunnel vision. Has now become a turnover merchant. What has happened to his fearsome CP game?

This is just embarrassing'. We have no plan but kick it to Gawn. He is almost a liability now because if it. The number of players in the first half that were free and totally ignored is infuriating. They just dump the ball to Gawn and then there is zero movement up field. The number of players under 10 possessions at half time is an indictment on the coaching staff, Players have no f8ng idea of what they are doing. Something is seriously wrong with this side.

It really is a big game for us. Not only a weakened oppo but Goodwins comments about the style we're trying to play and the team not yet being able to do it. Sounds like players are in two minds about how to position themselves and attack. You only need a little bit to go wrong and it looks terrible. Last week was terrible I am hoping a big readjustment will happen today. Starting with Pressure for 4qtrs. Silence the crowd early Win contest. Defend well. Get back to our DNA The 6 to 10 ranked players need to pull their collective fingers out If we collapse in this game is all over Now or never

Aren't they half brothers?

Nothing to get excited about in that team announcement other than JVR

Maybe we're trialling BBB as a back up ruck?

Didn't Schofield retire early due to multiple concussions?

.

They played the same way against us last year at the G. Fast movement, big pressure, double team in the ruck, out marked us in their fwd 50, dominated centre clearance. There were no surprises from Freo on Sunday. Only from us. Bad surprises. Poor skills, poor coaching, bad positioning, lazy midfield

There's more to come out with Kate

Pressure acts from our defenders was practically non-existent. McVee, May, Salem, Rivers. Terrible

Two appalling losses in three weeks, both to WA sides, one that had only won 7 games in three years. Yep. All good carry on.

The 6 average comes mostly from his time relieving the ruck. He is a shell of a footballer at the moment.

Haven't seen the game but I'm tipping we had a collision with the reality bus?

And mcVee on Young

Stop serong, help Max No umpire 15 We're good

Wasnt it last time he got the 3 votes? Seems all our ex ruckmen grow another leg when playing against max
