No one has blamed the coach yet, so I will.

No plan B when collingwood obviously had our plan figured out.

Big reason why they eventually got on top.

He looked lost though.
Didn't take on the game.
Looked to give it off...shouldn't tho

Use your god given talents FFS boy ... you can do it.

Shat their pants. Coaches?

Can some teach Cripps to kick at the right goal post. It seems every shot he has fades left for a behind.

As I have said before
As the season concludes you find out where you are at compared to the other 17 teams even in a shortened season
We are an average side . On a good day we are ok but in the long run we are simply average
Plowman very average 3 year deal yeah right panics shit kick
Polson should have been delisted 2 years ago
Murphy plays on next year wrong decision soft footballer when the heats on
Setterfield soft slow average kick second to the ball He ain’t a midfielder cost us 2 picks
Very overrated
Martin is so overrated not just today. Other than the opening game very ordinary this year IMO
Not taking that shot was pathetic
Simpson c u later champ
Casboult in the end a limited player although has got the most out of himself
Pittonet has a crack but is back up at best
Dow looks ordinary no more excuses still has 2 years to go on his contract
McKay so soft
OBrien top 10 pick unsighted this year
Cunningham 3 year deal has impacted in only a couple of games this year
I don’t know what it is but internally we overrate our list judging by the contracts handed out


As I said the AFL is a level playing field
Coaching no more Hird Voss Malthouse appointments
All clubs have good facilities
Soft cap
Salary cap
Drafting
Free agency does advantage better teams but not by much
It comes down to list management and recruiting
We are crap compared to other teams
And yes that includes SOS :wink:

You're too tough on De Koning ... back off ... or explain it.

A for the rest ... spot on.... Martin looked tad better and more desperate than all the others on your senior players list imo ... @#$%&! em all.

We need more mids
The guys who were recruited for those roles have so far not delivered in that area
SPS
O’Brien
Kennedy
Setterfield
Dow
Cuningham
Stocker where is he
Lang
Martin
Polson
These guys are meant to be are midfield that bats deep
When Ed Curnow still stands out as the second best mid like dogs ball it says many things
When Collingwood started to gain ascendancy in the third we had no answer
In terms of the teams list this is where the problem lies

Shows a lot of promise. Looks like he’ll be a player for the future. I’m just judging him on today’s performance. 6 disposals, 7 hitouts. Didn’t think he let us down at all, but didn’t think he had a big impact on the game. In contrast, the 3 young guys I classified as good all had genuine impact on the contest.

Back home (personal reasons)

Today's game showed we are still a fair way off it.

Don't know who our forward line coach is but we don't have the right cattle for banging it to the top of the square when it is 3 v 6.

To those bagging SPS, look what happens with no run from half back. (PS if Polson is ever in our best 22 we are stuffed).

Poor team balance from the match committee. No pace from half back, too many exposed talls, no inside mid power.

My big concern is we have given up on the rebuild and haven't held our nerve. Its easy to play the older bodies and manufacture a few extra wins. Yes there has been progress, but is it meaningful progress towards winning a flag or are we playing to battle it out for the 8 for the next 5 years...

Get the cheque book out, we are still 7 or 8 players short.

CB

If umpires did their job properly, Tom would have been a star today ... bathing in sunshine ... and maybe in glory. Agree to disagree...he was better than Levi and Pitto imo...how old is he again? CompARED TO THE 2 i JUST MENTINED? oops typo...bad luck

I would back Polson over SPS for speed any day. So if pace is what you wanted then it was a good selection.

Mental Health...leave him alone. He looked fantastic in his 4 games in 2019 when he was 19yo and before he got injured.

So why do you bother?
