Bennell goal. Silk.

Honestly, is there a team with more dumb footballers in the AFL? Unforgivable by Vanders. A goal after the siren would have given us a ton of momentum despite looking rubbish.

Thank god for Viney so far

We look poo

Max yet to get a hitout

Dwayne, Derm and Ricciuto... not one for the intellectuals tonight.

Wines is exactly the type of player we don’t need. We have half a dozen of his type. And a month ago he was in a rut, just like Clarry is now. Clarry’s disposal has been terrible but it’s not a career problem, I suspect it’s mental. A bit of confidence and we’ll see him back to his best. And as a side note, what we recruited Toumpas to be is exactly the type of player we still need. Someone to play on the opposite wing to Langdon and perform consistently. We botched the pick on the wrong player but hindsight is 20:20.

I reckon we could do worse than getting Witherden to slot in at half back and moving Salem to the wing.

Our next 3 games are all against sides on a 4-day break (including the North game where we are the same but we don’t have to travel and they do). This is a huge chance for us to get back into a positive ledger including with a win against a battling Collingwood side that at the start of the year we would have pencilled in as a loss. One week at a time for sure, but the season is well and truly alive for now.

Just hard to watch. Numbing stuff, that. There are a lot of players who looked way out of their depth. Hannan back to his 2 games on, 4 games unsighted formline. Jackson and Weid both struggled to get near it. At least Weid kicked a couple I guess. Brayshaw and Harmes are a mile off their 2018 selves and on form, neither deserve to be in the side. Both being played out of position and both killing us with their disposal. TMac and Jones are both washed up. Kossie buzzes around and I think will be a player but lacks discipline both with and without the ball. But not sure who I’d be excited to bring back in either... Bennell and Tomlinson are at least up to the level. Vandenberg, ANB, Spargo etc are all seriously flawed players too. At least Vanders would give us intensity though. Selection this week will be a lottery. Pleased to have a Friday to recover so that crap doesn’t ruin my weekend.

Putrid doesn’t feel like a negative enough word to describe this performance. Any suggestions?

Putrid lack of effort from OMac there

Pickett has to stop that stupid push in the back.

This feels like 186

If only the umps were the problem.

Poor skills and poor discipline. This is unwatchable.

Harmes is useless

We look disinterested honestly.

Why do we keep kicking deep into the pocket?

Lever was hopeless in both those i50s.

He definitely needs a spell, isn’t offering anything right now. Wing is definitely not his position either. Their has to be someone else to play that role. Can’t imagine that Tomlinson, or even TMac would offer less roaming a wing right now.

If Geelong win tomorrow we’ve lost to 3 of the top 5 plus Richmond. We’re a chance against any team from here on in with all the bottom four to come. Don’t give up just yet.

I’d consider bringing in TMac for Brayshaw and letting him have a crack at the wing role, Richo style. He’s one of our best endurance athletes and would provide a good marking option roaming all over the ground. Also gives the team some flexibility like a rich man’s Tomlinson. Brayshaw would be unlucky though as he improved through the game. I’ve got no idea what will actually happen but the selectors have their mojo back the last couple of weeks so I’ll back them in.
