So many players are just not up to it. Silvagni offers nothing. Kennedy is a plodder - offers nothing. Poor communication. So very hard to watch. So little quality there at the moment.

Normal One, I agree McKay has done ok. Moves well and works well with Charlie.

Does Kennedy offer any value as a midfielder? Been watching him at the game he sits off the pack playing like a speadster which he is not! Terrible pick up this far.

SOS and McKay about three touches between them.

Huh? McKay has been good when opportunity presents.

Silvagni no good

McKay good?
Which one of his 4-5 possessions was to our advantage?
That kick to a player four metres away was U11 stuff.
Even the umpires know 4 metres isn't 15.

McKay might end up a star but don't try and polish this perdormance so far.
SOJ looks lost.


McKay had a good first qtr, a couple of nice kicks to Charlie. Didn't touch it in the 2nd. He seems more up the ground with Curnow and Casboult are deeper. If we play those 3 we really don't need SOS.

We simply pick the wrong structured side. We get no run out of defence because we are too tall there.

the thing for me is still the pressure. Almost every other game I see the ball is s hot. But we have no pace or pressure - with the exception of fish, simmo and cripps and jones and maybe marchbank I just don't see anyone going flat out for the ball. or running back when the take a mark (although charlie tries to play on) or even being active when on the mark. it is like we are simply relying on our talls to just play kick to kick. We need at least one more small forward. Wright can find the goals but looks like he is just having a laugh.... Even if we win this (and it looks very unlikely) any other team would kill us.

Yeah you see it with the best teams of recent years. Crazy intensity and full on defensive pressure. We're nowhere near that level.

At the ground.
Kennedy and Kerridge, well they try.

Just like I would try to have sex with Miranda Kerr. The difference is I know I’m not chance to succeed.

Kennedy and Kerridge don’t.

We are to slow and if the dogs really get going in the second half this could get ugly, Charlie , Crippa and Fisher trying there arses off

We knew after the north game things were going to get pretty bad, I think tonight will be 10+ goals. We look ready to pack it in

Unbalanced team. Has to be deliberate. No coach could expect to do well with such a mix.

We are a slow, lumbering, tall side. No other way to describe it. Pickett out. Fisher is the only one with any wheels. Slow, tall, and below average skills.

Put your body on the line to get the ball - HTB, you dived on it.
Pick the ball up and stay on your feet while tackled - HTB, you tried to take him on.
Drop the ball into your teammate's hands - play on, great hands Dogs, SLICK!
Sink to your knees, slide the neck into the tackler's arm - free kick, high tackle
Hump the ground like a toddler throwing a tantrum - ball up, no prior.

@#$%&!. OFF. AFL.


Excellent summary. How have they over complicated such a simple rule? Prior opportunity and correct disposal. It's not difficult.

What was Kennedy recruited for? Cannot kick well, slow as a wet week and no intensity at the contest.
