The depth in our forward line this season has been has been something else.
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.
Our forward has been hit hardest by injury this season.It has been though
We’re surprisingly efficient at scoring from inside 50 entries.
It’s actually probably the one shining light of this season
Our forward line depth is being tested with the talls. Not the smalls. At all times we’ve had 2-3 decent small forwards. Which is all we’d have even at full strength.
Yep. Not sure why he had to say that."We kicked the last goal"
what in the actual ****
It was initially, but it’s been relocated to Olympic Park at short notice.AIA stadium? Isn't the game at Vic Park?
BUT SAM BERRY IS THE ANSWERUmps were crap for 3 quarters. We were crap for 100 minutes.
Lost Center clearances by 10. Our midfield is horrible.

This.Judging by how our players are reacting post-game the hunger is clearly gone. Doesn’t look like they care much. Smiles all round.
If Reef walks at the end of the year I would not blame him. I am still at a loss to understand why he didn't start in our forward line which is already seriously undersized. If the plan was to use speed and ground balls to dazzle and confuse the Geelong defenders then surely at three quarter time with the Cats 2 goals up and controlling the game you might throw a lad whose been known to kick a couple of goals in a short period of time a go.
When I looked to our goalsquare and saw little Schultz looking battered and sore with an opponent 15 cm taller and still no Reef in sight I did begin to gnash my teeth and wonder what was going on. It was only when Shooter got concussed that Reef got his chance. Why do they refuse to give him a fair dinkum crack and see what he can do?
Who would've thought that losing Murphy has thrown our entire D50 into disarray.
Schultz has been fine.
Realistically, when Fly was appointed coach l expected us to go into full rebuild mode and didn't expect to see us play finals for many years. But 22 and 23 were among my most enjoyable years supporting the Pies, culminating in winning a close GF rather than losing or drawing.
This year injuries and maybe desire have conspired against us, so given l wasn't expecting finals l won't complain about missing the 8 this year after the past 2 years.
Harsh.
I thought we actually played pretty well - easily the best game in a month. That game would beat most teams.
It’s just that tonight Geelong were better.
First half was played at the tempo of a finals game. And Geelong matched us.
And possibly the window altogetherSeason’s cooked
Geelong took 46 more marks than us in the 2nd half. Same story as last week.
Teams have completely figured us out. Keepings off in the back half opens up our zone like it's wet tissue
De Goey was very good.
Lipinski had a shocker
Football clubs are about more than names on paper. Moore is going nowhere. He has been very average this year and seemingly getting worse, but he is still a superstar at his best. Form is temporary...
I'm actually really surprised at how flat we have been post-bye. I expected we would freshen up and get on a roll but it has been the opposite. Did that North comeback game really take the last bit of fight out of us? Since then the effort has been more of a team trying to stay in the game and not lose by too much rather than a team looking to take the game away from the opposition. Have we won a game this year where you could say that we controlled that game? Maybe the Lions game only, even the Port win came after being well down. This season has just never got rolling.
