Brayshaw no prior tries to get rid of the ball free kick goal to Dogs. Umpire doesn't even know the rule.

When TMac is quiet we struggle big time. But the umpiring and missing 3 sitters we coud be still in the game.

Yep umpires keeping the dogs in front. Called it before the game.

Half forward line getting thrashed need to lift

Hopefully that will mean we don't take them lightly.

Bring the tackling and hardness at the ball and we will be OK.

Going to be wet

For some reason has been going on with this club for quite a few years

Plenty of other players he could highlight before Bailey

That's really concerning re the tackle stats. Sides that are switched on and playing well usually are tackling well

Yes agree, I"d like to see him start hitting the scoreboard more.

Reckon he needs continuity of playing Smokey, I'd give him another 3 weeks of playing before I"d consider dropping him.

Yawning can also be due to nerves.

Something I noticed before the Collingwood game at the SCG. Pretty sure Choco had Oliver practising torpedoes from just outside the 50m arc and he was making the distance easily and with reasonable accuracy. Better than the chip kick at goals that he fails with every time. Perhaps someone else at the game can confirm.

Still not a reason for Oliver's carry on.

And we can't do the same ?

Big chance I'd say

Brayshaw seems to think we play the Bulldogs next week, or are we ?

What exactly is a pressure act? Surely the only real effective pressure act is a tackle not because you chased a bloke.

Don't think Ed has been as sharp since the bye.

Where to start , We are the Jeckyl/ Hyde of the AFL. It seems as a team we require 90% of the side to be having a good game. If this happens we are capable of beating anyone. As soon as this drops off even by just a small amount we can be beaten by anyone. Last night 4 goals up, think we can coast, then we get outplayed by the 17th team for the next 3 quarters. This is just lazy bathwater (a term I hate) football/attitude. This needs to be addressed we are not in good form, What have we lost four of the last 8 games? And TMac, he is a super barometer, you can bet if he's not in the game we are struggling big time. Sure we can beat anyone on our day but we do not have that hardened professional mindset required for the ultimate prize.

Well he certainly thinks so.

Disgraceful

Both sides scoring more by accident than by design.
