Must be someone I have on ignore; I can't see it yet.
+ held the ball up, scared to take it on when we were out.
We have to do something, until Thilthorpe is fit Straunie is our only play

It's not just about winning.
It is about having the opportunity to win through natural play taken away from us by a poor decision.
To win close games you need a system/method to close out.
You can't account for poor umpiring when creating a method to win a close game.
Essendon game perfect example. If you can't score freely, create stoppages and defensive pressure to cause turnover and fred ball.
We did that, pressured Draper into sitting on the ball. Should be our ball.
Again today. Tight game, break the game open with running bounce. It is a method to win a close game. Still had ten seconds in our forward line to go with less Collingwood players in there
That play taken away by a poor decision.

Ridiculous the umpires only put the whistle away when Draper jumps on the ball but is a stickler for the rules when we’re attacking to win the game
If we loose then we are not focussed on made up umpiring decisions. A proper analyisis is allowed.
Collingwood wins by under a goal and the narrative is they did everything correct. They didn't. We kept coming and we challenged. They made errors and we put some serious pressure despite their class.
ROB was a liability in the 1st. We need to explore ruck options.
We need to land a free agent. The kids are developing.
When is Keays gonna cop heat for not being a team player around goals? Had 3 options to handball to but tries to kick the goal and it's smothered.
Every week he's taking a ping at goals when there's a better option than having a shot

I wonder if Nicks will claim McHenry had an impact? ****ing useless effort from a sub. Sholl was doing fine and you don’t sub a running player FFS

Saw that he watched and waited for someone else to get it so he could tackle them
Replay showed it was about 11-12 steps.
Probably would've lost anyway, but to have it taken away like that is annoying.

I think I watched last years game at the G v Collingwood. Let them get out to a lead before clawing our way back, only to lose by less than a kick due to a dodgy umpiring decision.
What time does today’s game start?

Everyone getting stuck into ROB are forgetting that great game he played in under 17s
A team with players like ROB, McHenry, Murphy, Jones and Smith keeping out talented youth.
Players like Keays - who is a great run with - making decisions in clutch moments that kill us.
Laird is a small defender - playing midfield because Nicks loves him.
We never take advantage of our strengths. The way we deliver to Fog is criminal.
The bloody coach needs to take responsibility.
Another game we give the umpires a chance to duck us … and not do those maggots only need a tiny chance to jump on it.
I’m so over it.
Nicks is not the guy.
I would take West Coast’s Simpson in a second over this clueless thumb.
He plays talent and understands how to build a premiership squad.

If we hadn't grabbed Dawson and Izak, we'd still be bottom 3 or 4.
Too many players either haven't kicked on, are too poor or cooked.
They are doing a huge amount of our lifting.

The opportunity for accountability was neutered in Week 2 of the Season.
The Club could have waited until the bye, or even if we were 5-1 or 6-2 or similar, but no.
They rewarded Nicks for 2023's near-miss and 0-1.
I've never seen incompetence like it
and the AFC has form.
This is actually a real concern.
We’ve been in a rebuild with some of the very best picks. Our best two players (and it’s not close) have been from trades.
Either our drafting or development stinks.
Can someone PLEASE tell me why Chayce Jones gets a free pass every week?!? He needs to be dropped and for a very long time. Is a dumb, low skill footballer who should never have been drafted by us in the first place. I was prepared to give him a few years of being ordinary in the hope he would grow into a decent AFL footballer but is just absolutely not AFL standard. The worst decision maker, a poor mark, and a poor kick. Nicks, PLEASE drop him for Dowling or any of our young guns in the SANFL who are showing any kind of promise!

McHenry was sub

McHenry didn’t play 4 quarters. Still shouldn’t have been in the team.
It's these type of selections week after week that result in hopelessness. With these decision-makers in charge we are going nowhere. Drafting, development, coaching all poor.
Notice how Keane now regressing after a bright start? Seems to happen to a lot of our players doesn't it.
Drafting.
Neither Rankine or Dawson came here as mids.
Both developed into mids here. Rankine is now elite IMO.
Even Sog's development into a genuine A grade mid.
Our first round talent identification for mids is terrible.

If there wasn't an inherent bias against Adelaide by the umpires you'd expect us to get the one of these marginal decisions going our way at the end of a tight match from time to time... Yet here we are - not ****ing one.
The maggots couldn't even call a simple htb our way when Draper starts dry humping the ball ffs... I've got no doubt Collingwood would've got that free last year where Dawson was smacked high across the face...
