Pick 3 not going to save us
Need to put in the hard yards and turn around our form

Trade dusty for picks 1 & 2.
Picks 1,2 3 plus Hooper(fa).

Can’t use injuries as an excuse. Elite teams cover their injured players. We are not an elite team, certainly better run than we were in the past but not elite. The much vaunted coaching panel has been exposed a bit too. Tired of opposition players playing their best games against us, today it’s Whitfield, previously it’s Sidebottom, the list goes on. Graham was poor today, put him on Whitfield, you’re not getting much out of Graham anyway. Biggest issue I see is the midfield, they have inferior disposal skills to other teams. Cotchin who I am a fan of, Prestia, Lambert do not hit targets regularly enough and just turn the ball over setting up scores for the opposition. Then there are some poorly skilled players who are not worthy of playing in a top 8 AFL team, Castagna, Ellis, Markov, Butler, they’ve all been around for a while, they won’t get better, had enough of all of them, play some kids.

Everyone of our midfielders is 4 inches to short and 6-7 kgs to light.

This isn't the 80s, size really doesn't matter.

How shit was the commentry today? I usually like Huddo but he was blatantly barracking for GWS today.

That "Cop that Astbury!" was pathetically unprofessional.

I went into today’s game without any expectation. Those commentators ****in ruined my viewing with their blatant barracking. Even when we kicked a goal it would be bc of what they did not us. It was like press red for ed commentary a JOKE

 

[Cdog71]

Really lacked leadership, when he’s right
Jack to CHB

 

[Turka]

just gonna be one of those years. It’s why you have to nail those flags when you’re right there at the coal face. Last year a missed opportunity.

So hard to get one in a row, let alone two...Those days are gone...

Castagne and Butler are premiership players, they are not the problem.

Elbowed him in the head

 

[Tenacious T]

MONGREL!!

Hopefully < month

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

He was but he's nowhere near 2017/18 form either...

Not many are. But at least he showed a bit today.
With Martin it’s a good wake up call for him and fans that he’s human be sure the form he was in was ridiculous.

 

[Rubber Hips]

how many weeks out for Short?

Have to be 4 - 6 weeks ....looked pretty bad

That’s insanely better on paper lol

[dothebowdenshuffle]

Despite a half dozen or more experienced coaches and a leadership group etc we are basically clueless when it comes to helping a key midfielder deal with a tag. Happened to Lids and Cotch a lot 2013-15. Martin could be sent to tag an opposition mid?? Our plan B is send him to FF. Here's a tip. It's not working Coaches, wake up! I expect much better from Martin and co

So what round will sack dimma make a comeback

 

[Rubber Hips]

Off topic....
Hipwood 5 goals at half time

Did you know ...Brisbane secured versatile tall Eric Hipwood with Pick No. 14 in the 2015 National Draft, after matching Richmond's bid.

 

[Turka]

Castagne and Butler are premiership players, they are not the problem.

Who have possibly been on a beer/table tennis bender ever since...

I'm sure they have been, he was speaking with Adam Kingsley at 3Qt, i'm guessing about that.

Just because he hasn't done it yet doesn't mean they have just sat there and not tried.

 

[tigernsw]

How do you know that was the tactic? Or was that just what the players were doing?

Players have minds of their own.

Was at the game. It happened so much it must have been a tactic. Unless they're completely stupid. Possible.

Sometimes they'd switch it then hold it up on the wing. FMD why do that? Dumb blokes like Markov holding it not knowing wtf to do.
Meanwhile GWS defence has time to get set and bang it comes back out a million miles an hour

But Cotchy might be out

 

[tigerdan]

It's OK to individually have a bad day. No one is perfect.

But at a certain point in time you have to draw a line through a player and say "can't kick" or "soft". Castagna and Brandon can go back to the 2s with instructions that they are not coming back until they iron out those deficiencies for weeks on end.

If Dusty's head isn't right just give him a week off. Jack Steven got time off for splitting up with his GF ffs.

 

[YnBlack]

Meh......#eco again........

If I were to care then Ross needs to come in and play in the guts for Dusty.

Houli in for Short
Grimes in for Markov
Anyone for Ellis or we play one short, don’t care.......
