Bloos v Dons review

Also defence.

Midfield was trash too.

This is where we all get caught up saying oh we should of won

Isn’t this a familiar occurrence lol

Until we get th right players and the coach stops continually playing for the now with an over rated assessment of the team

We play players on the wrong positions when we have young players who could play said positions

We will fall into the 8 die to other teams falling over then lose a final get ahit draft pick and then sing players to deals they should never get

Oh and they will pick a tall developing HBF in the deaf who could be a mid fielder

Got to give some credit to the defenders in the first half not going with their men and allowing options for the pass into (their) F50.

On a positive note, how good is Guelfi.

Love his hardness.

We’re are still in a good position but we have a tough second half of the year.

No star power. You don’t win premierships without star power.

Love Guelfi and anyone else who actually look like they care.

Our ā€œeliteā€ midfield soundly beaten

Big test and we failed it. We’ll scrape over the line by 2 goals against west coast and have our ass have our ass handed to us by Geelong. This is going to be 2012 levels of capitulation all over again

And you wonder why Gold Coast didn’t rate Wright

It’s been evident since Lloyd and Lucas retired.
It’s grim.
But fark me… I doubt Lockett and Dunstall would kick goals with that delivery.

We just cannot play Wright and Jones in the same forward-line. Right now, I’d lean toward Jones… he can’t kick but at least his hands work.

Get Tyson Stengle.

Bit depressing, but I walk away somewhat encouraged

We played a very in form team at the top of the comp and we matched them in a lot of areas. Beat them in a few.

2MP was a disaster and we couldn’t kick a goal to save ourselves. Other than that we had their measure. Unfortunately the game is about kicking goals.

Fast becoming one of my favourites.

Love his attack on the footy and the man.

Yuck. Shut up Julian.

Scoreboard says it all. Move on.

Arguably could / should have won. With quite a few players seemingly not in form.

The forward system is poor , we aren’t getting the ball delivered efficiently and we don’t have the creative smalls to be genuinely dangerous at ground level.

But we’re 8 wins and a draw at the bye, with two blown chances in the last two. I’ll take that still.

You have got it, we will be a much improved side by just adding Caddy and El Huli. Soome of the younger players will get better as well

Again it’s all about expectations, I rate us as a mid-table team 8-12 so we did a very impressive job in parts against a contender tonight

But still concerning that it looks we’re tracking for the usual scrape-into-the-eight then get demolished by an actual finals side year
