Im not talking about Joes game, im talking about that 1 incident. You can see it your way i can see it my way. All good.Didn't see it that way myself and it's already been covered at length on this thread.
Joes was 3 or 4 little things and a couple of missed shots off having a 10/10 game.
He went to the backline and busted his gut trying to stem the flow several times.
People expect far too much of him when the majority of the time he's a gun.
It's something where we have perpetual culprits.We honestly need a team ban on our forwards complaining when they don’t get the ball kicked to them. Our body language needs to be so much better. Not sure why this hasn’t been coached out of them much earlier. All the small things add up and matter.
Daniher only had 1 thing in mind and that was doing it himself. A clear mentality of this team.
Totally agree.Rubbish!
I think Joe intended to pass to Charlie but Charlie buggers it up by running straight towards the goalsquare
Unless Joe can execute an absolutely perfectly weighted pass over the Pies defender's head and hit Charlie at full stride, then Charlie is going to get gobbled up by the defender who is only a metre away from Charlie when Joe crosses the 50
Have a really good look at it.
Instead of running towards goal at full pace and running out of room, all Charlie has to do is double back towards the acre of space between full forward and CHF. Then Joe doesn't have to take that ill fated time buying bounce.
I think that is on Charlie rather than Joe.
Lack of spatial awareness by Charlie IMO.
Monumental effort to get to where we are on the ladder after the start we had + the injuries. Seems like 2-3 months of playing catch-up has come back to get us.
Extremely disappointed but can't say I'm surprised with how the game panned out. Too fragile mentally and sorely missing some best 22 players.
Totally agree.
Joe was wanting to execute a kick with 10% chance of failure rather than one with 50% chance of failure.
Yup, I said after the Sydney game, we can't keep playing on heart and adrenaline, it's going to run out. And now it has. Need to be clinical for 4qtrs, need to take our chances in front of goal and need to be better with the opposition's small forwards.We have played catch up. It’s caught up to everyone the last two weeks. Fresh legs need to come in. Doubt we beat Essendon.
So disappointingAgree…doesn’t change the fact that the whistle in the final minutes was disgusting
Integrity unit anyone?
Umpiring is irrelevant if you win. We lost because we don't have the balls to win a premiership. Changes required from the top down.So disappointingbut that umpiring in the final quarter was staggeringly one sided

I think that is on Charlie rather than Joe. Charlie's first instinct is always to try to get over the back, even if that's not the best option

Not his first offence, has been putrid this yearPeople want to trade Bailey because of one HTB![]()
Do you know in our big wins against the Saints, Port and Richmond we had significantly less tackles
We are a poor tackling team but we’re also first to the footy more so tend to tackle less
Learnings? Fagan just does not have the capacity as a coach to get four quarters out of this team with the regularity required. His inability to eradicate the Traditional In-game Nap Time is a major failing.What really disappointed me most was that after last week we just watched a Groundhog Day from the beginning of the second quarter . Surely the message must have been pumped in at the quarter time break we're not going to let that happen again.
Other than the one dropped mark, I thought Joyce was serviceable and did his job. He is a relatively inexperienced player and has been thrust into a high pressure role. We don't really have any other options and we didn't lose because of him, that is for certain.Harry Sharp - for all the focus on using your weapons, I think I've seen him hit full speed on a football field once. I just dont get the appeal.
Joyce had a game to forget, but obviously can't drop him at present.
He did pretty well to be honest .Other than the one dropped mark, I thought Joyce was serviceable and did his job. He is a relatively inexperienced player and has been thrust into a high pressure role. We don't really have any other options and we didn't lose because of him, that is for certain.
