Something we will win in the next three weeks.

Draft picks.

Reckon we could beat Melbourne, they looked flustered.
Collingwood ALWAYS outnumbered at the contest.... Dees players waiting for the pass to be in the open.... ALMOST never happened, thus why it was played in the Pies forward half for the entire second half.....

We've been playing a similar way to the Dees last night (Brisbane too). Hopefully we learn, because if you don't win 2contested ball, you're probably cactus (see the games we've been cleaned up... GC, Adel, Geel)

Go Blues

Where is the team that made Sydney look slow and clumsy in that second quarter or outplayed Freo when they were riding high?


Indeed, where is the team that crushed Melbourne and Richmond at the start of the year?



No Pittonet for most of the season, Williams, McGovern and Martin also missing large chunks of the season. Walsh moved to play HHF and no settled wingers playing consistent reliable footy. Let alone that teams have blanketed our movement forward of the ball when in dispute. Our team is young, still learning to gel as a team, has a new game plan still evolving under a new head coach and coaching group. The early games were exciting but we often won with only 1 quarter of exciting footy and then the opposition would adjust and we would hang on. The signs have been there all season regarding our maturity as a football team. And we have adjusted as we then began to score more often from rebound footy with Saad and Doc but that too in recent weeks is being denied. So we need to adjust again. I also think the midfield is one paced and being exploited

Problem is the lack of pressure. And no composure when teams come at us. The pressure has dropped off considerably since the bye. This is the issue.

Went to the training run. Pittonet was there, not doing much granted, but makes the managed/flu even more curious.

Lob has an extremely delicious kick and really should be destroying with it. He is buffer than I recall so if the mofo doesn't make it...

Don’t worry about who’s wetting the bed, worry about who’s $h!++ing the bed. There’s 18 of them on the ground at any given time

Who with? Who has the discipline and nouse to to stick with Neale and curb his influence? I don't think we've tagged anyone all year. All about team defence

Cottrell has tagged opposition players during the year - Hill after 1/4 time in Saints game. He has the mongrel to do it. Also need to curb Rich's influence off half back.

No. Doesn’t have the smarts to tag or the nouse to play on ball. At the very least he is a forward and that is it. Playing him on the wing has been one of our downfalls, making play mid would be a disaster.

Someone said (twitter?) that Pittonet and C Durdin were the only travelling emergencies.... Was that right L47?
Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense if that's the case...

Go Blues

He certainly had the tank for it. I forgot about him moving to Hill mostly because that game was a complete shit show and though we curtailed Hill, Sinclair did as he pleased for the rest of the game.

Hopefully if we do something like this we don't do so at the cost of someone like McLuggage waltzing around doing as he pleases

Durdin was there too. Didn't notice any of the others

Hard, uncompromising. Expecting do or die

Anyone who bleeds Navy Blue should expect nothing less

It’s a loser mentality, but I think you might be right.

We’re already conceding the ruck contest, accepting our fate as second to the footy. Scragging their primary handler all arvo could be our only hope.

Doesn't have to play mid to tag once the ball is bounced in the center.
