On paper that side looks mintox…. What about the coach?
And I thought I couldn’t feel any worse
Yep and our first pick is………North Melbourne’s 2nd rounderHaven't you heard, we're tanking for a better first rounder this year...
...for the Dees.
They have won what they did last year in 2 rounds……nice
Sean Darcy attempt at marking was awful. Disgraceful actually.

It's probably a factor. It has been a staple of watching us play the last couple of years where you can see the little huddle before a bounce where Mundy leads like he's saying "this what we're going to try next" and the other mids are on board with it.

Not anymore
There's just no need pal.
Only sent Jaegar there last 5 minutes and his straight kicking got us back in it. Do agree we looked too tall with Tabs then all of a sudden looked way too short.
Amiss and Jackson were non factors in the air and Darcy couldn’t take a mark.
Until you realise Geelong have played Collingwood and Carlton and we have played saints and North.Glass half full approach… at leasts that’s a positive

Yeah that seemed lacking tonight. Brayshaw and Serong are official leaders now. They need to step up their talk.
Stat wise you are probably correct but Amiss to me looked quite good tonight. He had speed and movement and aggression, was the ONLY forward who led, took a great mark which help set up one of our few goals and looked like he belonged. He created space. He should have been used at least twice which would have set up shots at goal. Yes he got outbodied once or twice but he would do a lot better in a well coached forward line.
No, Im adamant that he will make a very good forward. After watching tonight, I am now even more all for playing him in every match he is physically able to play in.

LOL that's literally our future dream forward line.
I don't think "play the kids" is the answer
Fwd line doesnt work with 3 x talls ( Darcy/Jackson, Tabs & Amiss). Imagine trying to fit Fyfe in there too. Wat a joke. Only tall to snag a goal was Cox late in the game. Jackson really needed a bronx cheer when he stopped juggling and finally marked one.
Didnt look dangerous down there till Walters come on and he teamed up with Freddy.
In fairness Longmuir did constantly change the tall combination down there but no one leads at the ball carrier and only Tabs can mark it, Jackson and Darcy try to mark the same kick and Amiss isnt strong enough to break away or outbody his opponent.
Yes and the midfield is small and one paced.
Although Switta and maybe Aish look ok in there so go figure..maybe its more a speed thing and not size related?
LDU played well tore us to shreds. Roos have definantly had the last laugh.

in mops defence guys I actually think he’s a Freo fan in disguise so could be being sincere in here. Never have I seen a man so negative on their own team, I’d accept him with welcome arms.
In all fairness, it's easy to have a go at the forward structures and the players in that forward 50 but the midfield over the last 2 weeks have been completely embarrassed by their opponents. You could have a prime Buddy Franklin in this team and he would be made to look second rate with the slow movement and constant bombing of the ball deep. How nice would it be to see a structure where forwards actually lead and are rewarded for their efforts.
There is a 30 or 40 game price you have to pay to get a good player (especially key forward) from the draft. It consists of frustration and inconsistency for coaches and fans but only when the player comes out the other side, with 50 odd games they will start to flourish and be consistently good.
Amiss has played 4 games.
Sturt has played 5 game.
Treacy has played 22 games.
Erasmus has played 5 games
Johnson has played 0 games.
An important point to note - you CANNOT short circuit this price by “developing him in the WAFL”
This is a flawed strategy. You are only delaying the payment of the price at AFL level to later. There is NO substitute for AFL match experience. None.

Hey, our percentage went up by about 10. Is that a win?
I'm a huge Amiss fan and believe we have a beauty in him, but honestly he was worst on ground.
He had one kick and I'm pretty sure that was after the siren in the second when he kicked it to the umpire, so essentially he had 0 kicks in the actual game.
It's not alarm bells stuff because it's only his fourth game, but that wasn't a game to get excited about
