Agree with you on on the backline, midfield while very good at times they allow the opposition to dictate a little to much if you watch last night many times cats players were on their own allowing an out, forward line is dysfunctional, no movement at all, even when they tried to transfer the ball they had to slow it down as no one was there to to keep the chain going and thats the problem, players with the ball kicking into the forward line kick it to the wrong side of our players that do lead, Kossie should be watching Toby Greene, knows when to fly and when to stay down and crumb I could go on but will leave it there. Agree Gawn and Grundy is a work in progress, but I get the feeling Max is the one having trouble adjusting to it, but that's only my thought.

May is not known for his agility...

Lets talk about the pies game, we had Oliver and Petty out, the pies had Sidebottom their biggest playmaker, De Goey, Elliot and Ginnivan out and if the rumour is true some had the flu but yes we missed a lot of fairly easy shots at goal but that's bad football. Yes we will could still make top 4 but lets but there is a bit of work to be done.

I said it after round 10 last year that we would not win it and if they don't change they won't win it this year.....

None what so ever

Just like shooting fish in a barrel....

We can tell !!!!

If you cannot see that we are trying to play the same way as 21 with ball movement then I can't help you, what we did is was what the dogs did in 16, right place right time, played the same way in 22 where did that get us, Goodwin had a chance to play BBB is a lead up forward but chosen not to so what does that tell you.

That's because our small forwards try to take mark of the century.

LMFAO this old chestnut, was last years excuse as well?

They have no clue how to play on quickly Gus had the pill Rivers was free Gus took to long to pass it got intercepted, players are lead way to early for the kicker to move back and pass it, players still playing 21 game plan, forward line never moves around to open up a lead, players all flying in packs, and the classic kicking it to Kossie who's a small player way above his head against his opposition player who's about 8 inches taller gee that worked well. The major problem is the forward line an example is in the last quarter the cats players made their forward players run to where they were kicking it to them on a lead we just bring our opponent along with them, JVR needs to learn forward craft "I would get him to talk to Nick Riewoldt on how he played and his thinking" he is not a pack mark player yet, another year doing the same thing to many player playing a defensive role, time to flick the switch.

No they don't that's the problem, ball movement is to slow for that.

Bit hard for Gawn when 20 players all going for the same mark.

Better ask sexyland for some more blow up dummies next week..

It's been like this for the last 2 years, nothings changed.

Oh wait for the, we are the highest scoring team in the comp or the stats are in our favour group to come out....

And Langdon has become soft as butter, now hates contact.

Oh who's the coach, that's right a ruckman and a coach who's allowed a dysfunctional forward line the last 2 years.

Should show him videos of Toby Greene on how to do it.

Bit hard when you are 5' and they kick it 9' in the air

Could change their names to the Essendon Danks? Club

Maybe we should go back to the Fuchsia's

Good to see sexyland a sponsor now?

The bit that I find funny, Cox said he did not know how it got out then talked about it?

Well Goodwin had a plan and the players executed it well and and it was good to see it was pretty disciplined by the players. we will never know how many players they had with the flu and they were missing 3 top line players and a one other and we were missing Oliver and Petty but if you can slow their ball movement down which we did, it exposed them a bit, I must admit I was surprised a bit and thought the whole backline worked well and did a good job overall, thought Smith did well and might be an answer to the forward line if they keep going down one side of the ground but can Kossie just stop trying to take mark of the century every time stay down and crumb man. When Petty comes back in I would drop Spargo unfortunately but it is going to be an interesting few weeks.
