Buzzy

It's been shocking all weekend. Someone got the ball blatantly knocked out of his hands yesterday too and again no 50 to be seen. Really poor.

I believe our best strategy in the second half is to keep it away from Harmes at all costs.

Easy one : Sparrow for Harmes Clarrie for JJ Fritta for Wowoedin Licking my lips. 😋

one of the key things I've learnt this year is that Steven May is a panic merchant in tight last quarters

May always get fumbley in last quarters. What was that?

May as well bring Joel Smith on now, guarantee he'll give more than Ben Brown. Why wait?

Damn, Tomlinson was never quick but he looks like he's lost another yard this year 🐢😅

not switched on at all. JVR seems to be though!

some of the effort and skills on display here are putrid

Not many players have improved this year, but Trent Rivers has been VERY IMPRESSIVE So many brutally relentless will-to-win efforts in that last quarter - Gawn, Petracca, Melky, Viney, Smith (not you May).

Currently I would say he is the most overpaid player in the AFL based on output since his contract. If we signed him at the end of the year instead we might have saved $250K 😐

I love it, it's like watching local community footy every week.

and G O I N G TO G R O U N D

Kinda already checked out of this year after witnessing the trash of our last 20 or so games, so this doesn't hurt too much any more. If anything I believe we need a significant change - so a first big loss may be the thing that gets the wheels in motion. What I do know is that we are wasting generational talent and the players have no belief or confidence. 4 goals in a row now. Putrid.

WOW NEVER SAW THIS COMING. Geelong coming off their worst form in 20 years and they still massacred us. Fast moving towards another wasted season... Maybe in 5-7 years we'll get the forward efficiency situation sorted out? Cursed with a poorly skilled team unfortunately.. great to see classic Bumbling Brayshaw action out there.

He should never be permitted to take an advantage, the guy runs in treacle

Brayshaw? Jordon? What is this trash my eyes are being assaulted with?

People keep calling for JJ to have a permanent spot, but the reality is he's just not quick or dynamic enough to be included over others. Most teams have a slowish workhorse style accumulator - and they're almost always fringe players. They can't really play forward or back, and eventually get overlooked for someone with more pace when the whips are cracking. There's a limit to how many slower players we can carry at once. With Tomlinson, Brayshaw, Gawn, Lever, May, Grundy we are capped out. And JJ doesn't have height on his side. If I was him I'd get out asap and try his luck somewhere else at the end of the year.

Still think Petty will be there in September. Tomlinson's lack of athleticism costs him against the better forward lines.

one of the weaker forward lines it must be said. Did well today though.

We just carried our entire small forward brigade.

Wow. Thought May had cost us that.. Very shakey. In reality should have been a 6 goal win, but we are devoid of confidence up front. WHEN WILL IT END. Defence was awesome today. Contested ball amazing. Special mentions to Joel Smith for competing - and the first halves of Judd McVee and Salem in particular. I forgot how good Salem is, he just calms everyone down and some of the targets he hits, so good. Disappointing again to get nothing out of Pickett, Spargo & Chandler. Leaving too much for Fritta, we really need them to step up now. Brayshaw was awful in the first quarter but battled on and got some useful touches. Trac built and built but so wasteful! Still painful to watch but we just beat the flag favourites.

Why don't they put him on the ball? He's a liability up forward at the moment, at least try to get him in the play.

Looking like he's being SEVERELY overpaid this season for his output.

oh wow, most of the play but efficency and accuracy problems, WHO COULD POSSIBLy HAVE SEEN THAT COMING? Such a boring and predictable storyline yet again.
