Was bound to happen at some point. Jackson and Weed as a one-two combo should frighten most teams. Weiderman is a veteran of the club now whether we like to accept it and needs to step up. It took Max until his 6th season to step up. This is Sam's 7th. No better opportunity for the kid to step up.

Salem.

He is delusional if he thinks this is even close to 2021. He mentioned we went 4-4 and a draw over an 8 week period last year. We lost some games but not to the degree we are losing these. And never three in a row and certainly not on our home deck. I am all for learnings and I get he is trying to inspire hope but I do hope he can see what's going wrong here. He is speaking in vague words and metaphors. Forget about 4 losses in 8 weeks. We're staring down the barrel of 4 losses in 4 weeks.

Somehow, magically, we've still conceded fewer points than any other team. And will remain like that until round 15. Our worst three weeks in a while and we are still the best defensive team in the league. Goes to show how far ahead we were in the first 10 rounds.

Cox on 3 entries in a row would signal with his hands in the air to the Melbourne player to kick it to him. Everyone laughed and then the Melbourne player...would kick it straight to him. And each time, we had the ball while an open forward line waited. It is frustrating to watch and is a massive problem.

100% mate. We should and will win another flag with this group. I just don't see it this year. It's not that we've lost 3 in a row. It's how they have been lost. We look like a bottom 8 team trying to keep up. Combine this with all this talk about Melbourne being in 2nd gear over the first 10 weeks... I didn't want to believe it but I'm starting to see it now.

I was behind the punt road goals. Countless times you had Fritsch or Brown in one on one situations with empty space. We ignored that option while Cox jogged down the wing to fill the hole. At one point he was jeering the Melbourne players to kick it to him. It was embarrassing and everyone behind the goals could see it. From that moment I knew we would lose. Was only a matter of time before Pies got on top.

The big story here is 25 goals to 6 in second halves over that period.

"WE'RE NOT COMPLACENT!" *loses three games in a row after leading in all three games by 20-30 points*

I was clipping blokes for saying Collingwood was going to win. But after today I see the light. It's a trend now.

Collingwood kicked 6.0 in the last quarter. After kicking 6 goals to three quarter time. We've kicked 6 goals in the second half...OVER THREE WEEKS. Eight quarters. This isn't just a May, or just a forward line issue. It's a 25 goals to 6 in second halves issue. One game is no stress. Two games is a worry but okay. Three games in a row is a trend.

Fixed that for you

You're delusional. We are fighting to stay in touch with teams. We've been outscored by 20 goals in the second half over three weeks. That's about a three goal deficient average EVERY third and fourth quarter. That's not just a slump. The season is done. We have Brisbane next lol

Yeah, we're in trouble. 25.10 to 6.16 in second halves over three weeks. That isn't a May issue. Our season is done. You just don't see good teams perform like that. I was unwilling to accept some of the doom and gloom around here. But today it seemed like Collingwood was top 4 and we were a team trying to keep up with the top 8. 2022 just ain't our year.

In all seriousness, that is a [censored] pathetic performance after the week the club and supporters have been through. We are not top 8 level at the moment.

Cox an easy candidate with the 52nd Kent Kingsley Award For Spuds That Play Well Against Melbourne.

I'll be very, VERY surprised if we win this. Collingwood just look primed to absolutely go nuts. Just like Freo. Brace yourselves fam.

Been the case three weeks in a row. Exactly same vibe as last three weeks. We don't win from here unless we pull a rabbit out of the hat. Pies are very well coached. No way they have better cattle than us but if teams defend us in the air it's all over.

58% to 35% efficiency inside 50. We simply do not win from here if the second half continues as it's been. Every time they go forward they look like scoring. That's really concerning.

It's identical. Start strong then teams we play against are suddenly are aerial perfectionists

given we've dominated this quaryer it's worrying we've both kicked 2 goals.

walk through and some stand behind the goals. I rather stand with Melbourne supporters than sit with ferals at Collingwood and Richmond games.

not used to seeing so many delinquents and unemployable adults in one place.

Yep this club has been a beacon of disappointment in recent times.............

Good game but Freo is annoying. EVERYTHING just falls their way. I can just see a Freo vs Carlton Grand Final.
