Very Jaded

It is very harsh but when you are premiers it can be harsh if you’re on the edge of the 22.

Correct. Smith was not bad but he’s not and never will be Lever. Open to making Dunstan the sub. Bedford didn’t play today so they probably want to get game time into him.

Kicked straight when no one else could. 3 crucial goals

But in all seriousness if we kick better this is a demolition job. It’s good to win under different pressures and scenarios. Onto next week. Clarry is next level.

DELETE THE TAPE

Yep we are 10 goals up except we can’t kick for goal.

Gus gave Jacko a spray for his poor defensive running. He lost Reiwoldt and let him mark uncontested.

Agree. Intensity, intent, all good. We just buggered up 10 easy shots at goal and it blew the wind right out of us when they go inside 50 once and goal immediately. Bad kicking is bad football. It’s honestly inexcusable for top quality players to miss these shots and once the rot starts it’s hard to stop because it becomes mental.

Fritta needs to get on his bike. Vloustin is his opponent and is destroying him and us. Trac also really quiet.

Woeful kicking. We are now in our own heads and they completed deflated us. A real shame as we are dominating but making an absolute meal of it inside 50.

It’s good to have TMac get some confidence. He has been well down for a long while and he needs to start believing that he still can perform at the top level. He has looked down on himself and letting his frustrations get the better of him. Ben Brown spent time in the VFL last year and came back a different player. This is not the end for Tmac. It’s a reset.

Ok that’s good. He is probably the emergency tonight. Hopefully doesn’t mean we have another defender under an injury cloud.

Hope you’re right and he isn’t injured Rosman can be anything.

Why don’t they say what has happened to Tomlinson?

Woewodin’s kicking is a bit messy

Bedford isn’t playing so surely he’s medi sub.

Breaking news this

Tmac has not been in great form for a while. Why does Weideman need to fire up to keep someone who is in poor form out of the team? All I want from Weideman is a consistent attack on the footy and solid work rate. He doesn’t have to do much to replicate the output we got from Tmac this season. He just needs to work hard without the footy and take his chances with the footy. If he kicks 1-2 goals and is able to neutralize contests, bring ball to ground and follow up his work by continuing to present up the ground, he has done his role. We are not a team that depends on one or two players to have superstar games every week. If he plays his role he will keep his spot, just as everyone else has (and why I find it hilarious that some keep saying we need to drop Spargo or Pickett or JJ if they don’t have a statistically stellar game).

With Brisbane, Sydney and now Freo all being serious contenders, it will be so important to finish top 2 to avoid interstate travel in finals.

I am not watching. Are either of these sides a threat?

It only took playing a bottom 2 side ravaged by Covid and injuries on their home turf to get there. Port for the flag.

I keep waiting to watch a side who I think is or can be better than us. I have plans tonight so I’ll miss the Carlton Freo game. I suspect Demonland posters will report back if either of these teams are the real deal. I have strong doubts about Carlton. I think Freo could be a contender.

Dogs are quickly slipping into Geelong territory for me in terms of pure hatred. Absolute cheating scum.
