Pold9n is shit simple as that. Dow disappointing. We need some quicks in the middle - fisher, Martin and gibbons. Casboult sooked the whole game. So dissapointed in the effort. Half the time we waited for eachother to get the ball. Unreal it’s not like Collingwood are world beaters and that’s that makes it tougher to take. We knew it, a lot on the line and we crumbk3. Sorry to say but Cripps is one of the biggest culprits. All talk and no action from him. No goals in a whole half of footy. Wow just wow.

Collingwood won the stoppages and the uncontested ball. We weren't strong enough inside and didn't man up on the outside. Very disappointing and a bitter pill to swallow.

Playing 2 ruckmen is playing 1 short.

We need one of Charlie or McGovern back and Pittonet out

Co Captains have been very average in games where we can't afford them to be. I'd be reassessing this at years end.

I've had enough of Plowman, too many errors.

Dow.. what a waste of a draft pick. Adds nothing.

I really hope Charlie can get it together and stay on the park, just so we can piss Casboult off, second efforts are embarrassing at the moment.

I hope this loss hurts, they don't deserve to play finals.

Couldn't believe how 'tired' Pittonet looked, even though he got to share the ruck duties with De Koning.

You gotta wonder how easy it is to coach against us.
To go from our second highest quarter to not scoring a goal for a half.


How can you play a whole half and not score a goal. I mean seriously.

There is no excuse for that.

We weren’t tired, we had 9 days rest.

Keep playing Dow. I still think the kid has something.

Bring in some more kids.

I dunno what’s wrong with cripps. I hope the club tells us, cause If he is 100% then I’m very worried

Levi seems to play better when he rucks part time.

Maybe I have an agenda, but when I see performances like that I can't shake this image from my mind...

Well now the seasons shot who do we want to get some games in to?
Dow ordinary but he has the breakaway speed, so give him another game
Eddie was okay but would like top see what Owies can do
Would be happy to give LO'B a run
Also Honey and Philp another taste over the next few weeks
Gutted that we lost and season stuffed, but time to learn about a few

Always has. Gets to run around the ground and hand on the ball. Then takes that confidence back to the forward line. Since we've played 2 rucks he's struggled. Have to drop a ruck next week. Like TDK but we're up against Mummy on Thursday.

Exactly. And we can bring in another more mobile player which we clearly need. Pittonet is a plodder I’m afraid. Good competitor and great back up ruckman but that’s it. We were one short today

Who cares. Season is gone. Play TDK he is the future. Ceiling is 10x higher than Pittonet

We're only a game out so we fight it until the end but it's alot tougher now. Hopefully we learnt something about playing under something close to finals heat.

I'd play Pittonet against Mumford then swing TDK in for the Crows and Swans games

Season's not gone, just a game out but admittedly it's alot tougher now. Only a 4 day break for GWS.

Agree the TDK is the future.

Keep playing Dow TDK Polson all show something
Casboult needs a rest has been terrible for weeks
Need more outside run
Walsh and Weitering good
The rest pretty ordinary second half
Forward line diabolical after half time
Killed round the packs in second half
Eddie faded but was our best forward by a mile
Pressure in forward line terrible after half time
Tackling also dropped off
Failed a big test
Team rarely plays 4 quarters
Forwards must take responsibility Gibbons and Martin
Need to get games intro a few others on the list

In a very different and unique season yet again we are the only club that goes to the well with the same old same old.
Why not give Fisher time as a midfielder???
Why not give Gibbons time in the middle??
Why wait 5 weeks to finally play Dow in a crucial game and not last Friday night an easy kill. He looked like he needed the run to adjust to the pace.
Why we keep relying on Murphy as a mid baffles me. Yes play but spend most of his time forward coz he is cooked as a mid in a side that wants to play contested footy.
