Two goals in 3 quarters. No goals in 59 minutes between first goal and half time.

Just quietly, something that's gone under the radar...last week we kicked 4 goals in the first 10 minutes of the first quarter, 4 goals in the first 10 of the second and 5 goals in the last 10 minutes of the last. That's 13 goals in 30 minutes - one quarter. AND ONE GOAL FOR THE OTHER THREE QUARTERS.

Over the last two weeks, we kicked the equivalent of 3 goals in 6 quarters of football.

First game I've made it to this year.

Won't make that mistake again.

Hard night at the office for all concerned.

I've not lost hope losing to Collingwood with a good 3rd of our side injured. It was to be expected we'd struggle to stay in the game.

Dug deep in the last quarter to gain some respectability on the scoreboard, which at least saves us from a humiliating 80+ point belting.

Can you imagine the nightmare rotations would have been tonight? We SO desperately needed our better players for this game.

Would have loved to have seen both sides at full strength tonight, would have given us a real good look at how we are traveling compared to Collingwood.

Didn't blow out to a 80+ point thumping, so as horrible as the loss is, I'm at least pleased we didn't crumble into a heap like the Essendon* game.

Not an unfair point to make but good sides have a structure which enables them to be successful with replacements. Ours was all over the place. Players were deer in headlights when moving forward as they weren't sure what to do.

Hesitate, tackled, turnover, goal.

Had to go out after the first quarter looking forward to watching the replay.

Much easier to understand the issues when you don't have to worry about how it turns out.

Half fit teams get found out on the big ground.

The skipper was woefully shit and at his selfish best tonight.

First time in ages, years even that the midfield worked as a unit in that opening quarter - they blocked for him, they harassed Macaffer, they made sure to take a hit in the tackle to make sure they used the ball as well as they could and gave Murphy a free run at the ball.

Most of these passages of play were met with panicky hospital handballs or rushed kicks to avoid taking a hit himself.

Selfish player who is caught up in their own hype.


One of our best i thought. Always running, presenting and trying. Unfortunately there was no system out there and his usual attacking nature always put him in positions where he was forced to rush and noone presenting. Going after him doesnt seem right.
Thomo, Garlett, Gibbs and lucas were virtually invisable. Throw in Casboults present adding more to score against than score for and we were always going to be up against it.

The only hype about Murphy seems to be people hyping up how shit he is. Maybe he is starting to believe that a little. Id love to see his gps results after a game. Doesnt stop running.

Imagine Gibbs or Thomo with a tagger for the night. They would be worse than tonight if possible.

It's not that...

It has never been about that with this group of players

The skipper was held at every single contest......

This is where a normal footy team would run over and smash the tagger, instead we allowed it to keep on happeing

Yep, liked White's game. Marked & defended strongly. Disposal was good too.
Bell got back into the tempo in the last with some strong efforts. Buck's was attacking. Everitt bobbed up, Warnock did some good things & Walker too. Simmo a little off but always serviceable.
Docherty had a crack. Bring in Watson & the HBF could maybe break the opposition defence with Doc, Watto & Tuohy.

Lucas, Garlett, Gibbs, Thomas & patches of Brock on the ordinary side.

There are Malthouse defenders and haters on this site. I am neither but I do accept that he has not been at his best since being here. Also accept that the appointment of Wiley was probably a mistake and more about a confident for Mick than a coach with value. The appointment of Laidley should have off-set this.

Players can't escape the bake for lack of commitment though. At times they were really trying tonight (without results) but the lack of tackling pressure was not good enough. We cannot sustain effort. I hate to say it but we look unfit.

The way MM is talikng up Rowe gives me little confidence in life.

A few one-on-one spoils...big deal.
