I agree, he is currently not to AFL standard but has played just 10 games overall and this was his 2nd game in 2019 (stats taken from the Lions web site - hopefully accurate). Is anyone on this forum seriously saying that 10 games is ample for anyone to get their **** around AFL level? I think more concerning is that Stef isn't exactly a role model of tapping to advantage (or being useful in non-ruck type situations) for Archie to learn from.
I'm sure I can find my ranting about him letting his opponent getting free runs at the ball 15m from goal in previous weeks. :/I support your views 100% all people see is the intercept marks, not his 1v1 defending
Nah TBD what you don't understand is that we deliberately lose every game in Melbourne. It's to make things as unbearable as possible for the old fitzroy fans.
That's the joke MacMum
People pulling the Mickey giving Martin votes- got absolutely belted by Kruezer. Archie was pitiful. Matho had an off day.
Robertson was solid.
Can’t blame any of our defenders today- Our Midfield sucked balls.
This is a pretty accurate summary. Kicked 6 goals quickly then just sat back and did **** all for the other 100 minutes. Sat and watched that team with 1 win for the season run rings around us time and again. We were still in the game with time to go win it but when Stef missed from 15 out I switched off. Terrible performance. No excuses.Pathetic. If we fail to make finals, this will be the match that cost us.
We played football for about half a quarter.
Seriously contemplating whether to even go.Going to be a little flat at the Hall of Fame dinner tonight. Really thought we would get up for Bulldog today. Cripps and Walsh destroyed us. Cripps absolutely owned the second half.
We miss Raines. Could tag anyone.Probably a loss worth having if we need one to learn from - because there should be a lot of learnings out of this. It was embarrassing and I am sure the players are pretty enbarrassed as well. We do need to learn from this.
- we need to develop a genuine tagger for times like this. Cripps destroyed us and just needed to be shut down . If he is kept quiet, we win. Sometimes you just need the player who can take someone like him out of the game.
- our midfield needs to learn to change things when they are getting well beaten. We let them get on top and never reacted. Our midfield depth still needs a lot of work.
- tackles have to stick or we get too exposed too quickly. A few of our players just aren’t effective enough tacklers.
- We have to develop a real killer instinct because we rarely put teams away. In the second quarter two more goals may have finished the game as a contest right then. Instead we lost focus and let them back in.
- We are going to have to find a dominant ruckman. All three of ours aren’t terrible but they really struggle to dominate against the really powerful ruckmen and except for Oscar a bit don’t offer anything up forward.
- we need speed out of the back half badly. We are noticeably slow. If we don’t have a quick rebounder we may have to trade fro one.
- delivery to our forwards tends to be either too slow, too high or too long. It is either landing on their head in a pack, easily covered because the defence has time or plays straight onto the opposition just dropping someone back and picking them off.
Going to be a long couple of weeks.
Seriously contemplating whether to even go.
If the players don't give a stuff, why should I or anyone else?

Not talking about the last couple of weeks or claiming that Matho is the worst kick for goal. I was talking about the game today and the balance of the game at the time when the straightforward set shots were fluffed. The opportunity was there to take personal ownership of the outcome.Matho has kicked some important goals for us the last couple of weeks and took ownership of that goal after the siren. Isn’t anywhere near our worst kick for goal.
