Looks to have a bit of mongrel and some much needed arrogance that we lack.

Developing him the old school way. Play small backman and get experience. Build the body and tank and then go into the midfield. Brett ratten like I reckon.

They exploit him because they know he’s weak. Watching at the game from centre wing and seeing the movement, you can tell the instructions were to target Plowmans opponent as regularly as possible. Not just today either. Unfortunately he’s just a plodder of a player.
In comparison I thought for a non defender, Casboult did plenty of good and Marchbank lifted immensely. Even Stocker - second gamer and really took it up to either of Brown, Phillips or Elliott whomever he rotated through. Thomas you can see is trying to fill the Simpson role as much as he can. If Jones was fit next week I’d take Plowman out for him and keep the rest.

I thought that at the time. 17 points up and all the momentum.
The Pies closed the qtr with 5 straight goals. The mark of a strong, mentally tough team.

You just picked on two of the best players for the game.

Gutted.
Too familiar feelimg this year.
Bring that again next week blues. After GWS we have 4 very winnable games.
Today is the required effort each week

Sure is.
What I love about him is that no matter the score he will bust his gut. Even if he is having a quiet game and can't find the footy, you can see he still gives a ****.

We did slow down our play wit about 15 to go ..which was a small part of our downfall..

No doubt this post will come across as totally bizarre and completely unacceptable to some, but tbh (and ironically with a nod to Billy Bragg’s appropriately titled “Waiting for the Great Leap Forward”) there are some posters’ blacklists that I want to be on.
Imo, today’s performance and (even the) result mean that our season is well and truly back on track, as we’ve succeeded in confirming that last week was an aberration. Of course, it is heartbreaking to lose, given how hard we had fought to put ourselves in a winning position, and we need to ruthlessly review what went wrong in the closing stages of the game. However, what took place is not in the least bit surprising - regardless of the effort we bring, we simply need to mature, and we need to learn how to win, while unlearning how to lose. Apparently, we also need to learn to pay the umpires not to swallow their whistles, where one team is concerned that is, but that’s another story altogether ...
Anyway, look at the second post in this thread, and the second post in the game day thread, and imo you can clearly see in that table the key to understanding today’s performance and result - that is, the Pies list demographic (age profile and games experience) is one that, when combined with sufficient quality, wins games of AFL footy in general, and close games in particular. By contrast, our current list demographic, more often than not, will fall short, especially when the heat is on against a high quality and seasoned opponent in a close contest. However, as long as we continue to develop and learn, time is unquestionably on our side, and over the next couple of years I am convinced that the tide will definitely turn in our win-loss ratio. Imo, the number one psychological trait that we all need to embrace, therefore, is patience ... and while we are practicing that trait, we need to support our players and back them in to take us to where we want to go.
Btw, if some posters’ overly negative and kneejerk reactions after a loss like this are due to betting losses, then I have two words for you - “cash out” ... trust me, those words will be your best friend for many months to come, and there is definitely money to be made in “this thar rebuild”.

Parkin. That was his go. Many a champion started at back pocket.
You clearly don’t read if that’s your basis I’ve given plenty of detailed reasons elsewhere. Reactionary off a single post because It doesn’t agree with your view and then using moderator standover intimidation it seems. That’s how it is here? Poor.

Yeah I think if sos is sticking his nose into selection etc he should keep out of it and back the MCs calls. Jsos is getting picked on merit not because of who he is and will get better imo ...we all know he has the smarts and the skills so just needs to keep improving his physical attributes and running etc
That's cool. We can agree to disagree.

He also helped set up a couple of goals with his quick hands and pace..
As long as we bring it to the final siren.

Not what I saw Dadda. I saw a team trying to run and gun. One point I saw Cunners in the middle of the ground with players around him and instead sharing with his team mates was looking upfield but no one was there. If he is instructed to share the ball amongst his mates with a relase handball and relief kick could have slowed down at least a minute and this is only one example of many.
