Games like yesterday are immensely frustrating - we've definitely thrown a few away this year -
Cornes is the ultimate big mouth who loves to create the media agenda at the start of each week. Talks absolute rubbish most of the time and even makes King look half sensible on occasions which is quite an achievement.These knowalls love getting into Joe because he's low hanging fruit and all the other team's supporters are going to agree with them.
Without Joe in the team we wouldn't have had any hope at all yesterday . Picking on him is just the ultimate conceit . Cornes probably watched the last 5 minutes.

Have a listen to most pressers and the coaches talk about learnings.After five years of the team building and going deeper into the finals, I'm getting mightily sick of still hearing about 'Learnings' from Fages.
At this stage he should be talking about the 'Teachings' we're inflicting on other teams.
Stevic hates usIf we end up playing footscray at The Gabba I hope we don't get Stevic as an ump
I know 2 regular umpires who both have a very low opinion of Stevic. He takes a set against one side and that's all she wrote.
I must be missing something because I've never considered Lester "deplorable"...tell me more...who was Lester on yesterday and how effective was that player?Lester was the weak link. He has been deplorable lately. The sooner we get Darcy back or Doedee in his place the better.
Problem is, Lachie was spouting crap on his 360 segment that all sounded great in theory, problem is, its all echo chamber stuff that none of the other players listen to or I dare say he even believes. And we've all seen this from Harris multiple times and Dunks even saying during the week we'll fix everything from GWS game for the Pies game and look where we are.
Tackles between Shultz, Elliot, Hill and McCreery = 16
Tackles between Rayner, Bailey, Ah Chee and Cameron = 1
People pot the mids but they are the only reason we are in the finals atm. Can’t expect them to dominate every quarter. It’s unrealistic.
It’s our forwards that destroy us in these games. Lack of defensive pressure and poor efficiency.
And Umpire # 12.
Lipinski has been fined by the MRO for tripping - I wonder if this was the incident where Joe was then deemed "holding the ball" after he fell over and pointed out to the Umpire that he had been tripped.
I suspect the other coaches have picked up the learnings thingy from Fages. As much as i do believe that one should never stop learning, that implies that you need to actually apply such 'learnings'. I'd like to know what learnings that arose from the GWS game were applied to the Pies game?Have a listen to most pressers and the coaches talk about learnings.
Just checked - it was a trip against Joe in the 3rd quarter.Lipinski has been fined by the MRO for tripping - I wonder if this was the incident where Joe was then deemed "holding the ball" after he fell over and pointed out to the Umpire that he had been tripped.
Maybe you’re right. Come to think of it our creativity seems to go straight out the window when we aren’t getting it all our wayTbh for mind it’s the opposition stepping up with their game and we struggle to lift and match them.
Then some bad play
Like Oscar doing dinky kicks out of the centre going straight to two pies players
Team burning goals
Little things or even game awareness sees us fall back.
The way we go from dominating to legless is concerning. Just need 2 or 3 to stand up and steady the ship.Maybe you’re right. Come to think of it our creativity seems to go straight out the window when we aren’t getting it all our way

I thought it was a reportable action and that suspension was a very real outcome.Tripping someone has potential for serious injury including concussion. Should be zero tolerance but it's just a slap on the wrist.
