God we suck going forward. Horrendous and outnumbered always. And yet Port just walk it in. It's soul destroying.

I literally just said that modern footy is now much more than just your own opponent. That you need to have an attacking side. Then you go ahead and quote his direct opponent's stats? It's you that's not getting it mate.

'Don't understand Modern Football'? What a load of sanctimonious rubbish. Modern Football requires athleticism and players that aren't one trick ponies, i.e those lumbering low possession defenders without an attacking side, who can't move or think quickly enough to help rebound from D50. He struggles more than others when he has to get across to the free players because of HIS limitations. It's not our structure that makes him look reactive and slow. He is literally just reactive and slow as a person. Yes he plays 'a role' but it's a severely limited one, which is always going to leave our team at a disadvantage in pressure situations against the better teams. We may as well be one short when it hits the deck. HE IS INCREDIBLY SLOW and can't think his way through tight situations. Yes, we probably don't have anything better to bring in right now - but everyone can see how limited he is, he's not a whipping for no reason. Blaming the Structure is just an excuse for those limitations.

Dangerous tackle? P*$$ off it's not Netball FFS. What is happening to AFL, it's a joke.

Unbelievable that we're still kinda in this. We're due a bit of luck, they've had a bit tonight. Could we?.........

I'm blaming the forwards pathetic kicking. ..and how goddamn missing we've been at ground level, in every part of the ground.

FFS Bennell

This is hard to watch. Last week everything we did seemed to work out. Tonight we are bungling every single part of the game. Except that goal just then by Melksham.. very good carry on

that strategy worked fine back when the only tactic was to torp it long to full forward.

Came here to celebrate, left sad about Covid stats.

bit tougher when you don't have Hodge, Buddy, Mitchell & Lewis isn't it Clarko

HOLY F*#K. I'll be watching the replay of this game directly after the final siren.

OK now I can relax. Well done Dees.?

Dumb Omac! DUMB flaccid hands. We need to relax, can't hit targets by hand or foot right now!

Jeez it shows how bad Hawks have been - our disposal in this second half has been horrific. Clean it up.

yeah Ling, prior opportunity doesn't mean squat when you just drop the ball.

Excellent commitment by everyone right now!

Jesus Christ, is this what it feels like when my team plays well? I WANT MOARRRRRR

He's mobile, but he's not agile. He lumbers. Not a great mark either for his size and has zero presence for a big man. He'll be about as useful as an out of form Tom McDonald. I don't understand why Joel Smith isn't pushed forward to give us a marking player. We should just give him license to attack everything. He kicked a few goals in the pre-season game last year from memory, when we stuffed his groin by leaving him on the ground. And give him hours of goal kicking practice because I know that will be an inevitable shortcoming.

I've got to a horrible point in my life where I want them to lose by a lot, as there isn't any other way to get change in the club than by truly bottoming out. The lack of leadership in this team and in the box is staggering. Nobody wants to stand up and make a real statement. The worst thing is that no matter how good our effort is, we are still going to be undone by our lack of skill. That's why I feel like this crop is in a hopeless situation. Any returns we get are not sustainable with this mix of players. There's going to be another 5-8 years of this for sure. Yuck.

He also said Brayshaw would turn out to be the best of the lot.. Even Harmes has turned out to be a more important player!

Might be able to give them some belief though

this is confusing ?

We can play when the oppositions ruckman and 2 others are out of the game.

He literally lay down on May's back. Umpires were as bad as our skills today.
