It's the apathy, isn't it. We have copied with [censored] and remained engaged for years. And we probably will still turn up. But something has changed a bit. We're not membership micro-waving depressives. But I reckon we're in trouble... Another session like this and members and sponsors will just not engage. A few good years in the finals and things would be different. As the great PJ said, we just don't trust this team. ..

Other than the demon army, anyone else here tonight? Feels like a Prahran vs Frankston game from the 70s.

Can't help but wonder what one P.Jackson is thinking...

Fmd

No left foot

Brayshaw having a nightmare

We just might get there today... It would be a win for guts and tenacity

I know it's hard with all the folk out. But fmd we need to be better. There is no evidence of a plan for inside 50. It's a mess. Surely by now the forwards would be able to separate in the arc, and have some leading patterns that create space ... it's a mess.

We miss Kent and AVB more than we thought, too.

Bailey F gave it away. Too easy

Petty is doing ok

Fast low kick to player leading towards the ball. Could catch on...

Good post. I just don't think we can convert forward 50 entries to scores. It's so bloody hard, the way we do it.

May, Lever. Professionals in the back line. Plenty of time in our forward 50. But I don't think we've got the cattle up forward, or the game plan, to win. Hope I'm wrong. Any news on Gus's injury?

Petracca showing some leadership

Kick the goal Oliver. Brayshaw is done. I've of my favorite players. I worry that it's over for him. Head

We are getting a really good run from the umps. Expect bad things later in the game

Brayshaw dumped again. Nev beaten on the goal line and they score a goal. Jones walks away then remembers" oh I'm the captain... " And turns around to give him a pat.

Brayshaw looks stunned. I'm worried about him

Still bombing the ball in, Jack...

Careful build up, then Viney bombs it. Yuk

Having just recovered from wedding + post wedding "recovery" function (I can't keep up these days), I've just watched the reply - Frost does seriously good things when under pressure - it is a bit of a wild ride, but his closing speed and bravery are priceless, I reckon.

The son and heir is getting married tomorrow and there's a shindig on Sunday. I have been instructed that I won't be at the game. Losing this has the potential to put a downer on a big weekend. But it's only footy, right...

I think this is an astute observation. We have been badly beated in a similar way a number of times - last year and this year. Our game plan can't adapt to personell changes or to the opposition getting hold of us on the outside. That's not good enough

Not many "gentlemany types" in that team. Plenty in the Members, but on the field we had plumbers and builders and tradies. A few toffs, but hard. All of them - hard.
