The only thing more pathetic than Oscar is the decision to bring him back in to the side.
-
half the players on the field have 5 touches or less, it's been 1 quarter. ?♂️

Our 18th place decision making really compliments our 18th place skills. I haven't missed a Dees game in Melbourne for about 10 years, and I would normally feel deep shame for not going today. But today I purely see it as an investment in my mental health. ?

I've been thinking about this a bit, now we're the bottom dwellers again with little hope for the future. ? There's something about the current crop of players that just isn't as likeable/relatable/exciting/dynamic as our other squads in the last 30 years or so that I can remember. Outside of Oliver, Nev, Gawn we don't really have many iconic stand outs that all great teams have. It looked like it could be Hogan but the fans never really warmed to him, for various reasons [big sook]. It's really evident that we have this big gaping talent hole in the forward line. Where's our Jurrah, Neitz, Schwarz, Farmer, Yze, Jakovich of this era? The aerialists and the great kickers, the player that makes you stand up in anticipation when the chaos ball goes into the forward line? Jesus we are light on up there and right across the ground. I just find it hard to really get excited about this mix of players, especially the forwards. It's clear we are 5 or 6 skillful players short of being a decent contender. Hard to love a team populated with Omacs, Wagners, Spargos and others substandard project players that clearly aren't going to cut the mustard. I'm seeing young skillful dynamic A graders popping up in every team these days... and the best we can do over the last couple of years is unearth a couple of players who are 'competitive' or 'hard at it'. Need a bit more than that these days unfortunately...

No Dom Tyson? ?

Yep. Fritsch missed a few spoils whilst on him and Hibberd was also marking him for chunks of the game.

Goodwin needs to start from scratch. Our style is cooked and we are embarrassing in all facets. I've never seen so many people leave at 3 qtr time, everyone's just had enough. We'll be going back to Sunday twilight games next year and rightly so. What should be an amazing night on Wednesday will be another embarrassment. No thanks.

Hore for Oscar next week if Nev is back.. Oscar's height advantage means jack, he can't time a spoil at the moment anyway. Had enough chances in 2019 and going backwards, zero confidence. Hore is more nimble, a better mark and can rebound. Please Goodwin, there is no way you can justify not making this change.

Absolutely nailed the key issues. Lack of footskills mean we rarely hit a lead. Lack of aerial ability means we rarely take contested marks.. so bombing it doesn't work either. That's why I was bloody annoyed when we lost Howe. At least he was better than 50/50 with the ball in the air. When I look at the surplus of key marking/intercept players the Eagles (and many other teams have) it makes me weep for our future.

And not pick up May to address CLEARLY the worst part of our team? Are you Oscar McDonald?
