Radar Detector

Our players are so stationary whenever we have a mark or a free kick. We give ourselves very little opportunity to take uncontested marks and build pressure, we just bomb to a contest over and over. We were ok with that when contest was our superpower, but that’s clearly not the case anymore.

Viney has to be dropped

The fact he’s even in contention for a regular spot with that back story is precisely indicative of our issues.

Agree on Sparrow, he’s far from our biggest problem. Sharp, Spargo and Henderson just aren’t at the level. It reminds me of the days we had Jimmy Magner and Dean Terlich running around. And none of Fritsch, JVR and Petty are at AFL standard right now and Viney can’t hit the side of a barn. The problem is we don’t have the reinforcements. AJ isn’t going to be the answer and next cabs off the midfield ranks are Laurie (worth a shot) and Billings. We need young guys like Jefferson, Langford and Lindsay to step up really quickly but that’s a big ask when everyone around them is struggling.

Our skills are that bad

We’re playing badly and down by two goals. Play a decent second half and we win this comfortably.

6. McDonald 5. Pickett 4. Chandler 3. Gawn 2. Lightning 1. Final siren

Hard watch. Lizzie has been dangerous but might get rubbed out. Chandler has tried hard. Gawn ok. Everyone else has been horrible. Viney played his only A grade game for the year and put the cue in the rack.

One of the more biased umpiring performances I’ve ever seen. Also one of the laziest pressure halves of pressure I’ve ever seen. PS has Marty Hore ever kicked a ball forwards?

Howes’ disposal disgraceful

Billlings finished with the 6th most possessions (18) for the team plus a goal in less than a half of footy. He gets a pass too.

Unforgivable defending.

Has been huge. Clearances this quarter have been off the back of her presence.

Wonder if Zanker is available for the men’s team. Presents so well.

Great goal. Much needed.
