I am not suggesting his being capatin is the reason for losing.

The players have quite a big say in who is captain. Do you think they were voting for the ‘good bloke’ to make it easier on themselves?
Edit - never mind, I’m a few days too late lol
This!
Out of form from a player is one thing but to put hands on hips straight after you make a blunder and smile about it is inexcusable
Seemed a find a bit of form today. Which was pleasing.
But IMO needs to stop trying to do those miracle hangers (especially in our defensive half) and just impact the marking contest positively. He gavevone free away but prolly could have been pinged for x2 more.
Yeah, I dunno, he’s barely going. It’ll click, but all in all he’s first month has been poor. I didn’t think he was great again today, first half was shocking in particular imo
Needs a GOOD game sooner rather than later

Let’s hope he can get his act together for next week, hoping the MCG may suit him better.
I’ve only seen the last quarter, and he has done nothing wrong, two goals, one flukey, and crashed the pack on the wing which got us a goal and sealed the game. So, two himself and a contribution to another.

Not only embarrassing but you can see the umps are now refusing to pay frees to him even when they are there.
Working his way back into it.
Lets hope you’re right Miss E. 10 day break won’t do whatever’s troubling him with that knee any harm.

I thought that too. Bad look.
Its like when you have children & one of them is a goody 2 shoes and then all of a sudden out of the blue they’re doing all the wrong things, and in the end all they wanted was your to get your attention.
He did lay off a fair few today. Myers and bags in the first, stringer in the last. Took a few marks. If he’d kicked the snap from 40 (shouldn’t have snapped the set shot from that far) and finished with 3 it would have been a very decent baseline game.
He’s still doing too much stupid ■■■■ though, playing for frees and giving away cheap frees chief among them.
Who do the pies send to him?

He looks injured
He just isn’t launching himself into the marking contests as he was last year, I think his knee is bothering him.
He did a pre-match pre-match stint where he went through routine of taking a set shot from about 40 metres out. Moving from in front to about 13, 30 45 degrees and then on the boundary. He was ok. Except for the boundary shot he as kicking with a standard kicking style, not across the body. And while I can’t speak for his mind set he seemed to be going through the motions somewhat. He kicked most, but not all. But the thing I thought was that when he did miss a shot he didn’t go back and try again, he just went on to the next angle. I’d prefer he goes back, and does it again until he nails it. Actually wouldn’t hurt to do 2-3 shots at each angle. Or do the whole thing again.
When he took that kick around the body it was back to 2016. He had it worked out last year and then that crops up. Why do that on his preferred side??!! Pleasing that he went for the standard approach and nailed it later in the game. Funny bloke is Joey, and he is going to thrill us through his career. Thrill us like a rollercoaster, exhilarating but also with those heart in your mouth and screaming moments.
