Viney and Oliver in our best according to Goodwin. No mention of Jones or even Frost, both had far more influence on the game than either of Viney or Oliver.

Well not quite. But a tough decision on a Viney, Mcdonald or Brayshaw may be required.

Started after the collingwood game, chook. Depends on how many beers deep I am...

I called this a few weeks ago and was shutdown. I wouldn't say we need a full rebuild. We need to go the Richmond 2016 route. That means making a tough decision (Deledio) and taking a chance on young talent (Prestia, Caddy). Coaching wise, Goodwim needs a refresher and maybe a new set of faces. But we are potentially looking at a huge turnover at seasons end. Rumblings I'm hearing within football fraternity is that Bartlett and Pert have both indirectly put football department on notice. Goodwin has a little under 12 months to turn it around.

By what standards?

Oliver and Brayshaw given a football lesson today. Harmes has played a tagging role but has had little support.

Hipwood looks like a background extra from Muriel's Wedding.

Oliver needs an absolute rocket. A pathetic unaccountable performance. Drinking his own bathwater. We have been absolutely destroyed in the middle.

Oliver Viney Brayshaw getting an absolute bath. IMO throw Jones in the middle with Salem and Baker. Force Oliver and Brayshaw to play accountable football. 1 tackle for a quarter is pathetic.

1 tackle for the quarter. wow.

Haven't seen us get smashed like this in the middle for a long time.

I called it. We were due a 2019 Melbourne quarter. Here it is.

lol Hannan.

Baker looks the goods. Oliver Viney and Brayshaw need to get more involved.

In Weeds' defense the game is being played at ground level. Hipwood has also had zero impact.

Plenty of times this year we've dominated clearances and have been smashed. Everywhere else we have been better or even with the Lions. They are absolutely butchering it and part of it is our pressure.

Rubbish. We undoubtedly deserve to be ahead.

We have weathered every Brisbane tsunami thus far. Have we seen the best of Brisbane? I'm not sure. But we are playing a very good defensive game. That said we haven't had our 2019 Melbourne quarter yet. Here's hoping we skip it this week.

Having ANB and Hannan in the same forward line essentially has us one down. ANB is absolutely hopeless.

what the actual [censored] is Viney supposed to do there?

Liking Baker as a link across half flank. Watch him closely. He runs so hard. Bad luck not to be rewarded.

Matthew already in fine form. Brisbane player takes two players on, tackled, holding the ball. Matthews: "Oh that's harsh." Shut up you potato.

Gilbert [censored] Mcadam.

Astonishing that if we win today we are somehow only 2 games out of the top 8, with a much easier draw compared to other teams to come. If we had gotten the job done against WC and Adelaide we would actually be locked on points with the 8th team.

North has now won 3 of 4 since Shaw took over. We have 4 wins for the season. North looked absolutely the worst team in the comp 10 weeks ago. If they finish above us this year it'll only add to the embarrassment.
