Don't forget Amiss. Let's not pretend he was good today

At least he held a couple of marks

 

[Taylor]

We couldn't take a mark up the field, may have benefited more from Cox forward

He didn’t have a great game but the order was:

Jye

Daylight

Voss

Daylight

Taberner

 

[Kapow!!!]

Genuinely starting to question the mental capacity of even our best players to win these games. Only blokes I think don't have those questions over them are Serong and Treacy.

Seriously, this has 04 feels all over it. Genuinely hated this season as it's always felt like it's leading up to the disappointment of missing finals entirely and once again being the laughing stock of the league.

 

[Ghost Pig]

These last few weeks have been very similar to that disappointing patch early in the year where it's miraculous we're even in these games so late with how many passengers we're carrying on the day.

 

[hoss]

Fyfey, Sharp, Banners can't lay one tackle between them. Even Tabs and Voss laid a tackle. Shit, even Frederick made a tackle this week!

Voss let himself down today, but he's played all of a handful of games so maybe he will improve the marking. Else we should play him as a stoppage mid.

 

[Firesharter]

this club that has achieved almost nothing likes to get ahead of itself

 

[chaosball32]

Last week I said our poor starts and finishes have cost us too many times in the past few years. We are good in the middle quarters but we come out too slow out the blocks then shit ourselves late when the game gets hot. Again today that was the case.

We’ve lost 5 times this year when leading at 3QT. No other team has lost more than 2 times when leading at 3QT. We’ve lost 5. That tells the story.

The exact same as last week, mentally this team is not there. The ball lived in Geelong’s forward half in those last 10 minutes.

The same underperformers and the same lessons not being learnt. This team doesn’t deserve finals, and this fanbase deserves better.

 

[FreoRicci]

Where does this club stand with Darcy?
Let’s be honest. He’s not fit. He gets these niggles. He’s hampering Jackson.
Is 6 years too much?

 

[wakojako]

Selection definitely contributed to our loss today, but the problem is that we don't have the appropriate depth to cover Pearce, Treacy and Darcy. The sub choice as Worner was also quite poor. I think a bigger concern is over the past month is that we have players that have not been playing up to standard: Sharp, Freddy, Jackson and Banfield. Midfield getting stomped in the last quarter is also a worry.

[Firesharter]

Our running handball game was non-existent tonight and we just did handball drills without actually moving forward. When we tried to move the ball forward by foot we shat the bed by kicking to a contest, to our talls who offered zero marking power.

Tabs and Voss did nothing. Jackson wasn't great, but you have to cut him some slack given he had to ruck the whole game by himself. Treacy was a massive loss.

It looks like we'll be getting a home elimination final at best. Bloody disappointing, that's for sure.

We’re not beating GWS or Port who will be playing for top four spots. We can’t handle the heat.

 

[Lach72]

Hey look, the death ride is great.

Gonna have two top ten picks

 

[Purple Jesus]

We couldn't take a mark up the field, may have benefited more from Cox forward

If we weren’t down a back, we would have.

 

[s_wd6]

Our ball movement is a genuine disgrace without Treacy. Losing one tall and completely reverting to the shit play that derailed the 2023 season is frankly coach killing stuff. Unacceptable

We’re losing three talls, and then another one when Jackson is moved.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Small forwards weren't the greatest issue today. Amiss was borderline ineffective because he was supported by two spud KPFs. Jackson was our second best KPF today and he played the whole games in the ruck.

When our key forwards don't fire we have nothing.

Need a second string. Last week they kicked 11

 

[Farrand]

Too many important players out for mine. We lack leadership that Pearce and Treacy bring.

Jackson isn't a primary ruck. There's always a difference there if Darcy is in, fit or not.

No true crumbing forwards. Imagine if Ballantyne was playing now at his peak.

Lot of daylight between our a, b and c grade players.

 

[FreoRicci]

Needed an experienced steadier. What does JOM do after a HTB for Brayshaw. Just blinding bombs away. Why does this club always get these trash traded mature agers.

 

[mike91]

At least he held a couple of marks

He had two golden opportunities in the last.

Missed the goal, then dropped a mark he should've taken.

Was physically toyed with by Henry

Very dissapointing. Yes he was better than Tabs and Voss, but that's not saying much

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Reidy 204 cm beast in good WAFL form for ruck or a couple of forwards with no idea of the craft.
I think there are 17 coaches out there who would have gone foe option 1

 

[Freomaniac]

It hurts losing a game narrowly. But it would hurt more if we don't make the 8

 

[toenail11]

Deserved to lose **** them all

[Lach72]

Would rather play Reidy than Voss.
And I’d be happier tbh with High Davies at CHB and Cox at CHF if Darcy/Treacy is still out.
