We arent losing to West Coast they can barely feild a team they have to play injured players
We could try playing the raw rookies I guess? Thatâs our option.
Baldwin got smoked by Daniher.
Yes you do, if your list manager gives you cattle to do it.

McGrath saved us from a 10-12 goal loss. Itâs these games that Cameron pulls out 3-4 goals and blows the margin to something big. Tonight he didnât.

First half was as good as we could have hoped.
Second half was horrid, even by our standards.
In the end though, you canât have 6+ of your best side out, injuries the killer, as per usual.

Very similar to last week. Game on our teams in the first half, ran out of talent in the 2nd half and the bundle dropped.
Really missed a marking target forward of the ball. Weed presented all day but thatâs about all we had. Think we missed an opportunity not playing Monty with the amount of ball that came inside defence 50. Love what BDB is doing but selection has been questionable all year.
Hobbs/Baldwin not always the tidiest with disposal but showed some really pleasing signs. Heppell showed signs of life.
Hind - never again.

Been an obvious issue for weeks. Davey isnât physically ready, Tippa isnt match fit and Menzie (who I think is actually a fairly clever player) doesnât seem to be a genuine crumbing forward.
Itâs probably also partly structure. Tonight looked a little bit like a soccer team trying to score on the counter as itâs first option. Not getting numbers where theyâre needed if the midfield delivery is pressured.

How many more forwards will kick a PB against us this season?

It was ordinary, considering what we had out vs them I expected worse.

We didnât win a contested mark in the air all evening. Barely can take a mark near the wings which means turnovers and straight back into the oppositionâs forward line.
Seems too in defense theyâve been almost instructed not to defend in the air unless itâs against the player they are on.

Have your own kids and indoctrinate then
Donât have any kids
Donât want to sound rude, but the great southern stand will be bowled over in a few years.

Make some
Same old theme most weeks. Once our pressure drops off we get slaughtered.
Our kids are still our major problem and let us down week after week. We give up over 60 Inside 50âs far too often because our mids are lazy, unaccountable one way runners

yes, but this ignores that the opposition clearly werenât firing on all cylinders in the first half.
we still had a good half against a very good team, but then when they turned up the pressure our boys folded like cheap deck chairs.
the problem is, was and always will be that this current list is not a high quality list. We have some good pieces, but itâs nowhere near enough.
the first half gives some confidence that the coach knows what heâs doing, but the second half raises the ever present concern that this list is still more than capable of claiming another head coaches scalp given enough time.

They always talk about how they will change and improve things but all i see is the same problems after each loss
We are missing our preferred key defenders , plus the obvious future successors . No surprise that their talls scored most of their goals . I guess thatâs a positive in a sense, it was the obvious area of concern that did us in rather than Cameron, Gunston or Rayner running amok.
