Straight Sets Simon

Brown in and forward, Petty back to Casey to be replaced by Tomlinson (should never have been dropped in the first place).

We aren’t dropping our best forward from tonight, Champ. In: Brown, Bowey, Tomlinson, Oliver (worth a punt), Harmes (sub) Out: Chandler, Spargo, Jordon, Petty

If only we had a tall proven lead-up forward goal kicker to bring into the team.

Tomlinson was excellent last week, Petty isn’t that good that a week at Casey would have hurt him. Team selection and balance is Goodwin’s Achilles heal (see also not playing Ben Brown).

Let’s not totally blame ANB for the loss, we can also blame Fritsch for that idiotic dangerous tackle.

We got a good run at the start but it was always going to switch the other way at half-time when the umpires looked at the stats.

We have too many small forwards and out best key forward is playing for Casey. We should have no more than two of: - Pickett - Chandler - Spargo - ANF I would much rather have Smith, Brown, JVR, Fritsch and a resting ruckman than an ineffectual snall forward brigade like we have seen tonight.

Vintage ANB fumble.

Why does Hunter look like he will just suddenly drop the ball under no pressure?

Fritsch’s goal.

Dumb by Fritsch.

Prefer Chandler be subbed over Jordon.

Clunk.

Chandler and Pickett need a run at Casey.

Our good run of umpiring is over.

Stop kicking to Pickett on his head.

Should have been front on contact to Smith.

Didn’t need to then. He should have got a free kick 20 seconds earlier too!

Huge pressure on the kicker there by Smith, he’s doing it all.

Put your hand up if you have been calling for Joel Smith to play as a forward since he dominated but was subsequently injured in a pre-season game against Brisbane at Casey in around 2019.

Has Pickett held the ball in his hands yet?

We are hitting Geelong defenders lace out.

Pickett has forgotten how to football.

If only we had someone like Ben Brown we could bring in.
