Game Day Round 1 vs. Sydney, MCG, 7:40pm Fri 15/03

[Rustin Cohle]

Garbage. No movement, no midfield, no forwards and backs are still playing like the midfield is on top.

 

[gouki88]

Dean is awful...yes I said again.

I'm a bit more forgiving of the 2nd gamer than his 8 premiership team colleagues

 

[anshell]

Two goals since quarter time.What can you say?Just pathetic.

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

Bring back Ginni!

 

[JB1975]

I'm lacking intensity this season. Still feeling stoked about last year. Don't have the same hunger. No eye of the tiger.

I understand what the players are going through. Really couldn't imagine having to run out a game at this point.

 

[hellfire]

The hangover is on. Oh well, there are worse problems to have.

 

[cwoodgal]

I hope Finn says jam it up your ass and requests a trade at years end.

Watching these hacks not give a * and you have a kid that would be itching to get out there and you leave him rotting on the pine.

Yeah this....wouldn't surprise me if he chooses to leave

Charlie Dean can’t jump.

 

[Hardas]

Reality setting in.
Players not ready mentally.

 

[MagpieJoel]

This is both an attitude and game plan problem.

They simply aren’t playing the same game style they did the last year.

It’s like our players have no regard to the opposition at all. They also don’t chase, tackle, contest, third man up, as a group. Everything is one on one and they just aren’t contesting enough.

Agreed. I feel like it's mostly attitude atm.

 

[Go Woods]

Good luck to McRae and Co trying to right this ship.
Time to blood some youth.

 

[Rusty Beam]

The fact they have left Macrae until this point to be subbed on is pretty F&$@&!

 

[Jafo]

 

[Unknown Identity]

Ash subbed.
2 and a half quarters too late

 

[Rooosterboy]

Hopefully that is the last time we see Johnson in the afl

 

[Raveneyes]

It's time to go. Where's my fly swatter?

 

[sloth6]

Dean is spud. EDFL footballer at best

Simple, they don't look hungry anymore. 1 cup was enough for them

Seems unable to judge the long ball, ATM.

What is the point, genuinely? Game is over. Good work Fly!

 

[Prankster]

Come on Nick

 

[MagpieJoel]

Richo questioning a call again. This bloke is a ****wit.

First touch. 10 seconds in. Clearance

 

[upnsmoke]

The problems

Forwards are meant to be fast and small but like to huddle close to their defenders and attempt marks in the air contested against taller longer defenders..... it's stupid.


Defensively, Pies are letting tackles slip near the forward 50 and it's pretty much open season for goals for the other teams.... this weakness has been existing since 2018.

Then the defensive 50 is a cakewalk...

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Going to hurt watching Ginnivan kick a bag while our overpriced replacement has done squat.

I’ll comfortably bet that Schultz will have more output and impact this year for pies than Ginni does for the hawks.
