Giving off is what he should be doing more of.
His dump kicking is symptomatic of a team that doesn’t stick to their strengths
long was NOT terrible he blunted Stewart very well in first 2 and a bit quarters ( he had no real preseason remember???) .. watch the game without the anger .. .. IQ had his best game for ages .. but blaming players as you do all the time is easy from the keyboard .. credible posters have pointed out however that the issues are round game plan, style and effort etc .. you just taking cheap potshots at players .. not unusual though eh>Pendles was a massive liability in the center square, he's just way too slow to be effective. It's unfair to the other mids and defence that he provides no defensive pressure once the ball gets to space.
Long was terrible
Maynard/Quaynor poor
Moore had his usual poor/mediocre game
Harrison is due for a spell in the VFL
Hill once again another shocker. Tried to do so much but had such little positive influence
Schultz and Lipinski very quiet
De Goey was good, Nick Daicos was good.
Josh Daicos has completely fallen away this season.
WHE was good
Richards was good
Elliot good.
Markov is a bloody VFL player
Between Moore and Frampton was actually have the worst KPD in the league.
Some are losing faith in Fly? Dear God. The man got us up for a flag less than 12 months ago when we were not the best team in the competition. He performed brilliantly in the finals.
How fickle. How pathetic. How quickly people forget when in the midst of a dummy spit.
Yeah, I wouldn’t criticise Long in only his second game with us (or 1.25 games), and playing in a significantly underperforming team. Seeing him standing Danger in the centre made me almost feel sorry for him.long was NOT terrible he blunted Stewart very well in first 2 and a bit quarters ( he had no real preseason remember???) .. watch the game without the anger .. ..

Reef should have started at FFQ. What’s worse than having a partner whose team beat you last night?
A. Having that partner want to ‘analyse’ what went wrong with you the morning after.
I don’t give a flying &@*+ about analysing what went wrong! I was there, I could see Geelong playing keepings off with us. And all those times when the ball was kicked into our forward line, where we had one player to their three, and the shortest Geelong player was about 15cm taller than our valiant small forward.
I also don’t need to be told that we have no tall forwards. No shit Sherlock.
Apart from that, everything is wonderful.
It feels like other teams easily change their game to completely/mostly negate us. They change their game plan AND execute the change in style quite well against us. So frustrating to see that change be easy for other teams yet we won’t/can’t make small tweaks.Can't have this.
Geelong continually transitioned the ball around our 'zone' all night. They had 3-4 players waiting out on the fat side of the ground all night and we allowed it time after time. Ollie Dempsey must stink because Lippa refused to go anywhere near him. We're obsessed with blocking the corridor, yet Geelong just kicked it through our defensive set up like it was a training drill.
Completely out coached, out played and the Cats played with a ferocity of a season defining game for both sides.
Watching our lads laughing and back slapping post game shows it means more to fans than what it does to the players.
He would have provided more height. But that’s about it. I still can’t see it with Reef.Reef should have started at FF

Ha ha! Thanks. Now I’m having brekky and waiting for the ‘caring’ and ‘thoughtful’ in-laws (most of whom are Cats fans) to starting texting me. Under the pretext of checking in, to see if I’m ok.
Geelong waterslide sounds better than "caring" in-laws...Ha ha! Thanks. Now I’m having brekky and waiting for the ‘caring’ and ‘thoughtful’ in-laws (most of whom are Cats fans) to starting texting me. Under the pretext of checking in, to see if I’m ok.
Well I’m not!!!
McInnes should be given minutes in the midfield and if he’s sub he should come into the midfield. Higher ceiling as a mid than a forwardReef should have started at FF

Agree.McInnes should be given minutes in the midfield and if he’s sub he should come into the midfield. Higher ceiling as a mid than a forward
Down by 4 goals, 1 minute left. McInnes took his full 30 seconds to have a shot on goal, Cameron took a while for his shot too. We were too far down, but we would have moved the ball much quicker in both moments when we were at the top of our game."We kicked the last goal"
what in the actual ****
I suspect it’s to force teams down the boundary with their second kick, but I’ve never got why we allow a loose opponent 45m from goal on the boundary during opposition kick ins. Sides are now going sideways instead of to that contest on the wing boundary with the next kick.It's almost like they need to man up! Actually make the opponent kick to a contest.
Maybe there is a gentleman's agreement - when we are in the lead teams will let us play kick to kick.
Yeah that seemed odd to me. One of the first things I was taught NOT to do when playing as a junior.Is it a team direction to kick it off the ground? Why don’t we try to win possession anymore?
It's the defensive system. We allow it. System is cooked.Probably been said already by another…
But crikey… if you let an opponent mark the ball 145 times in a game… you have no hope of winning
That just spells out to me that Fly has lost them on effort
Players noticably underperorming this year:
- Moore
- Markov
- Quaynor
- Frampton
- J.Daicos
- Schultz
- Lipinski
- Hill
- Crisp
Players with interrupted seasons through injury:
- Mihochek
- Cox
- Mitchell
- DeGoey
- Elliott
- Richards
- Hoskin Elliott
- Kreuger
- Howe
- McStay
- McCreery
Players performing at or above expected
- N.Daicos
- D.Cameron
And the rest have either played over 300 games, under 10, or I'm not sure what to make of them.
I'd love to say we can still make something out of this season, but I just don't see it.
This uncontested marking game also has us in all sorts. Its killIing us every week and we have no answer for it which means our coaches are getting outcoached too.
We've lost our identity, and we're officially cooked.
Watch the '23 GF as many times as you can while we're still premiers.
