We hit the lead dude.......our V C kicks a hale Mary........they kick an arsey goal.

Nothing to do with injuries.

One player needs to own this loss IMO.
Bullshit!
 
Should I say we would have destroyed em with our outs.. that's too easy!

The medical staff.. should be assessed.. or get some real specialists in there.. world class.. to give an honest assessment on whether some of our players actually warrant a position on our list.

I think we're in the shit for next yr as well if hard decisions arent made on a few of our players. Regardless of name or reputation.

Blaming one player for a team loss is completely wrong. So simplistic. Ridiculous.
 
We struggle without two key forwards in the side and when Darcy went down that structure evaporated. There's only so much Cox can do against effectively two key defenders who can just easily set up and get easy kicks. Without that structure, it makes it even harder for Thomas, Stephenson and Hoskin-Elliot to do what they do best which is generally crumb off packs and create space in the forward line.
 
We again struggled with a team that chipped the ball accurately around the backline and throttled our run.
I agree that the injuries have finally passed critical mass. We can't put enough players of quality on the field.
Sidebottom was off again, and he can't be when there is so much load for him to carry.
Grundy just about carries the team on his shoulders.
Daicos and Brown can't cut it yet without the mainstays there to carry them.
Stephenson seems to have hit the second year blues early. A lot has been expected of him.
We have had a far better year than I would have expected after round 1, but the good times will have to wait for next year and a reasonable run with injuries.
 
I’ve teased about the injury excuses on the MB before but you guys were genuinely ****** so hard by Moore going down tonight.

Got ourselves to blame when it comes to Darcy. Shouldn't play him. Make him go to the VFL for a month to prove that he can play more then a game and a half in a row.

100% correct

It was both Cox and Mayne
Missing set shots does hurt but I don’t believe in blaming players who try their guts out. As a team, we had a poor third quarter. As a team we fought back courageously. As a team we lost a close one.

As a team we back up next week.
 
That third quarter represented Collingwood of 2014-2017 and was our worst performance since round 1.

I'm pleasantly surprised we got as close as we did in the last given it.

Outside of the obvious issues with injury I thought it was our two leaders in Pendlebury and Sidebottom who really let us down tonight while it's time for young Brown and Daicos to make way for more experienced options like de Goey, Fasolo or Aish.
