Goodwin "We're a footy club with a fairly poor past". Sad True This is why we need angry men. Poise just doesn't cut it.

Ah no he wasn't. Today required intensity

Even with gawn back, we lack overhead marking power. It wasn't just Goldstein today. Imagine if we had a 6'5" we could use compete for the get out kick up the line. Hands Up anyone who thinks the team trusts Watts to win those? This is a big deal. He runs hard, but his team mates just don't trust him. This isn't "Watts hate". He's tried really hard this year. But he can't tackle, can't mark and at best halves 1 on 1. Are great skills enough to make up for that? I say no

Not tough enough

I'm walking

Might be, but was back to his worst. Id trade him. Beaten in 1:1 and I don't think he took a contested mark. That's hopeless especially on a day when talls are killing us..

They targetted Oliver and in the end we moved him of the ball. A big win for them. Why didn't we react and give stunt back? Cunnington started in on him at the first bounce, and we did NOTHING about it.

Thought Salem was ok

From the game day thread Our kids try. But they don't have enough leadership on the field. I appreciate all of Watts hard work when the rucks went down. But hes not tough enough. Weid is just a kid. Hannan will be good. Very disappointing. No one flew the flag

Yep, horrible. But it's not the problem

Their is no-one to blame but ourselves. The umpiring is atrocious, and they have lost control a bit. But we don't care. Bugg had more mongrel in his little finger than some of our other players whole body. He's no star, and shouldn't be getting a game. But he died dish it out. We're being mauled at every stage, after every mark, after every free kick. We've recovered from the Neeld years, and we've got talent. We will never be a good teem until we are much much tougher. I get it about "hard at the ball". But that's not enough. Tell that to Scarlett, Hodge, Mitchell, Rook, Brereton etc etc etc

Or how about some talk on the ground?

Oliver resting in the forward pocket. I reckon norf won that battle

No. He's Watts

We're still not up for it. Lewis and Hibberd must wonder what's going on

Lewis going off at tmac.

Watts doing nothing. This is the type of game that he looks terrible in

Bugg is very handy in "this sort of game"

Interesting to see how Oliver responds to the treatment he's getting. It was inevitable. Now we'll learn more.

This. This is the Brereton line in the sand moment. we've never meant it, physically. I've lost count of the number of line in the sand have and never seen us mean it. Now we're in touch (thanks Frost), we need to mean it. For once in 50 years.

Not tough enough

Again, brown goes at Oliver

Next norf player who touches Oliver gets flattened. They need to know we care

Watts?
