[Mister B]

Oh my god. How the **** do you miss that?

 

[Mister B]

Look. The endeavour has been there against a stronger listed opposition. I feel like there is much more of a "brand" of footy being played compared to last year.

The reality is though, the depth of talent just isn't there. Beyond our best 6-8, you have a bunch of academy almost rans that struggle with hitting a target, running to the right spots and are as one sided in terms of their disposals as you can get.

Probably more competitive than I thought we'd be with the teams, but frustratingly could win if we were more polished and composed.

 

[Bloods86]

Come on Ned...

 

[caesar88]

Our conversion inside 50 has frankly been embarrassing. And completely undermined what has been a gutsy AF effort.

 

[Mister B]

Work so hard for a goal, waste multiple opportunities and Collingwood walk one into the goal square in seconds. Must be demoralising.

 

[Bloods86]

Good god Paton

 

[caesar88]

I really like Joe Harrison.

 

[Mister B]

The big fella needs to put in some work on leg day. For a big man he has a pathetically weak kick.

 

[Bloods86]

FFS

 

[caesar88]

Paton's been a disappointment so far

 

[Mister B]

Good god Paton

x2

 

[Bloods86]

Paton's been a disappointment so far

He's been ok at times, but also doing things a player of his experience shouldn't be doing in the VFL.

 

[Mister B]

Joel!!! Pay attention Joel! I'm sick of hearing your ****ing name get called out.

 

[Membling]

Paton's been a disappointment so far

Should really only go for saints best 22 KPFs...

 

[Mister B]

Getting too close. The cheap frees start flowing.

 

[caesar88]

I don't blame Cleary for that 50.

Umpires have been ****ing dogs today

 

[Bloods86]

Getting too close. The cheap frees start flowing.

The non call and then that one...

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Good god Paton

Way out of his depth even at VFL level no idea what we saw in him and it worries me in terms of talent identification

 

[caesar88]

Every single ****ing 50/50 call has gone their way and not ours

 

[Jack2Jack]

Collingwood just as protected at VFL level as they are at AFL level I see.

 

[Mister B]

The non call and then that one...

Every ****ing year and nothing changes.

 

[Tedeski]

Reserve grade footy & our next in line defenders couldn't punch that through on the line.

 

[Bloods86]

Way out of his depth even at VFL level no idea what we saw in him and it worries me in terms of talent identification

I think we saw enough in pre season, 2nd half vs Hawks and first half today to not write him off, but he really isn't helping himself.

We did need to reinforce small/med defensive depth, but with Wicks moving back (in hindsight) and drafting Leidler too (wherever he is), maybe should have used that rookie pick on a KPP or inside mid.

 

[caesar88]

What a frustrating game. Just wasteful and inefficient and squandered so many chances.

The long bombs to Collingwood defenders I can live with - our forward line was basically Buller, Bowman & a rotating cast of top-up players. What bugged me were the incredibly easy misses from players just not taking their chances. Bowman with two shocking misses from basically right in front. Buller missing a gettable shot that every Pies player seemed to kick. Endemann with the easiest of kicks somehow missing. There's your game right there.

Cleary & Shipley were immense. I understand the punishment but at this point if we don't name Cleary next week then we're just spiting ourselves really. He is a class above and I can see why he was looking likely to start in the 22 this year before his suspension.

Francis & Edwards started the game very strongly but felt the weight of numbers overpowered them as the game went on.

Green looked OK in the ruck but still makes some crucial errors, not helped by the fact the umpires clearly did not want us to win.

Of the non-listed players, I thought Tidemann & Harrison had some good moments.
