Out, Petty, Smith, Hannan, Lewis ANB In Baker, Frost, Pederson, Spargo Stretch

Our defense is now a complete rabble . Only Melbourne can self implode like this just when things were starting to look up. We have some hard ball bulls yes, but no skills or real run. Couldnt take a Mark up forward to save ourselves for the second week in a row . How come we never kick to a leading player in the forward line? And where the hell was TMac today ? Did he play?

They are doing a job on us on the outside just like Collingwood . Untill we get some players with genuine outside pace this will keep happening to us. Spargo and stretch would have been handy today.

We need to stretch the opposition. Bringing in Weed and Frost would give players like Hogan and Hibberd more freedom. We would score more. If Stretch comes in, would stretch em even more, pardon the pun

What pees me off about losing a game like this is not the way we played , but mainly not getting the four points. You can bet your bottom dollar that even if we win next week the media noise will be something like “Flat track bullies at it again”

I still feel we need that third tall forward. Weideman would take another defender off Hogan and TMac. Even Pederson was stiff to be dropped as I thought he freed up TMac also considering we didn’t give our forwards many chances against the pies

If we had lost by a lot I’d understand some of the comments on here but I really thought we were desperately unlucky to lose. A lot went against us. The boys gave blood for the team tonight. I for one are sticking with them.

Gutted but we will win more tha lose for the rest of the year Oh, and Viney is back!

Pretty sad really We were the better side most of the night. Poor ball use inside 50 and biased umpiring cost us the four points in a brutal battle.

What I find hard to get my head around is getting smashed in the clearances for two weeks in a row, especially when we have the likes of Gawn , Oliver and Viney in there? Even when Hogan went in there he did nothing . I know Tyson isn’t very fashionable but he is a good clearance player.

Bernie’s finished you could see it all year. Youd rather a Hunt or Tyson any day

I agree not the reason we lost, but he would’ve stemmed the bleeding and given us more of a chance. Mason Cox FFS???

Collingwood have a better midfield than ours and much quicker, but I can’t believe we couldn’t find a match up for Mason Cox of all people. If Tom Lynch goes to the pies they will be a serious contender..

Goody made the same mistake he made against Hawthorn by using our best ball winners and users as taggers. In effect that takes them out of the game as well.

Where has the old Viney mean dog gone? Oliver needs some help . Couldnt even dream of beating Collingwoods midfield , with Viney , Petracca and Brayshaw having so little of it.

Viney and Petracca both look like they need another preseason. Also thought Goodwin was out coached again today

Harsh on Smith, one of our only triers

Backline fell apart without Lever today.

Forget top 4 , even middle of the rd teams like Collingwood and Hawthorn thrash us. We are too slow and not worthy .

Whenever I have a shower I always say that im going for a Robbie Flower, because cleanliness is next to Godliness and he was the closest thing to God that I knew.

I think it will be Pedo for Tim Smith and Joel Smith for Lever . I feel there might be a third change being Stretch ,who’s form in the last two weeks has been hard to ignore , for either Hannan or Spargo or even Melksham if he doesn’t come up.

I’m amazed he is not rated more highly. I mean you only have to watch the bloke play, and see the efforts he puts in contest after contest ,to see that he is a once a generation player.

Who in their right mind would want to leave this club anyway? The place is buzzing and we’re on the cusp of something special

His name isn’t Badloss Its Goodwin.
