Gus’s retirement knocked us for six and we never really recovered. ( his loss can’t be underestimated). Plus we were unable to cover for Clarrys slow start and Tracs and Gawns injuries . We will need another preseason to take stock and reset for next year. Wouldn’t have done any serious damage in finals this year anyway.

That was painful to watch

There’s holes everywhere in Mclures story. He says Oliver is unhappy at the club and the way he is being treated , not being played where he prefers to play and starting on the bench. Oliver is playing in the middle, where he always plays and only starts on the bench because he had a limited pre season and they are managing him. The club has done nothing but fully support him through his issues, and he has stated how much he loves the club and his teammates.

Sounds fabricated to me

I’d bring Max Gawn in, I reckon he could be the answer to our ruck problems.

Yes I agree but it wasn’t just as a result of Ruck contests where we were beaten, all around the ground they were much more efficient in their ball movement and workrate.

Our midfield got smashed inside and out, they always seemed to have the extra player on the outside and our pressure was poor. Disappointing effort or just beaten by a better side? They just seemed to play a better structured game to us and we have great difficulty in playing against it.

I’m sorry to those that rate him but Sparrow is just a nothing player

Most disappointing thing is our lack of pressure, especially after being smashed by them last time.

Billing’s can’t kick over a jam tin

Why are they all unmanned so often in their forward 50? Ok we are down in the ruck but why so poor in defensive effort today??

This was a big test for us , but we are getting games into our youngsters and hopefully better next year with Trac back and a proper pre season for Clarry. We still have a chance this year with Max back next week. Hurts seeing Jackson dominate against us, as he is what we are missing most.

Men against boys

Billing’s the sub

Geelongs ground doesn’t look very well maintained at all.

I normally can not stand Ginivan except for when he shoves it up the Pies

So good to put a cork in that moronic Collingwood chant

That’s good to know

It’s all about the energy we bring and I reckon the kids have got a taste for it. We have plenty of run now with AMW, Mc Vee, Windsor, The Kolt, Langdon back to his best, Kozzie Nibbler and the brilliance of Melksham not to mention the coming of age of Roo , what a month he has had!

Essendon supporters will be feeling real filthy right now

Yeah Boi!

Macadam definitely

Can’t see him goin. Seems very in love with his team mates right now. I don’t think he will leave his brothers.

Roo will go with Darcy, the two big bodies , and Petty should be able to body Jackson and defend him when he goes forward or drop off him and leave TMac to him.
