Didn't we have the same opportunity against Collingwood because its not like the club weren't banging on all last week about how great it was to face Collingwood again at the MCG and make amends?
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.
You honestly can't trust any of them because they only think they want a flag, but aren't prepared to do whatever it takes to win it because they just don't have the heart and desire in them.
The anlaysis of why we lost by Vic media has been incredibly poor, this article specifically + King/Montagna on First Crack talking about Brisbane. It's all just week to week basic analysis instead of the larger picture.Watching David King really just makes people dumber
So this is the clip?
Joe could've gone early but tried to improve the shot. The other 3 I'd argue they were in a better position to take the shot rather than risk a handball

Evident when the pressure is turned up that the Lions are weak mentally (I'm a Lions supporter). One can practice goal kicking technique at training but that is not the same as when under pressure.
2 things for me with Joe not kicking to Charlie.
1. The general rule of play is kick it to a player in a better position. You can argue all you like about how difficult it is to execute but the reality is that Charlie is in a better position to either goal, bring it to ground or create a contest at the goal square.
Joe, like the ashcroft and bailey decisions were selfish, and ignored others in better position. It's basic football. Regardless of outcome.
2. Who out of our leaders would ever chip Joe? Who do you see on the ground after these sort of actions actually showing leadership?
Everyone goes back to their line group and play on. Lachie gets ultra focused on his game and at times he needs to lead and pull players up. Being the best he can be doesn't make him a good leader... And I can't picture any other leader pulling Joe up either...
If Ashcroft had of handballed the recipient would've been under even more pressure. I think Ashcroft was in a better position and just needed to kick the goal
Even with Joe his pass would've been harder to pull off than a shot on goal IMO unless he went straight away
Funny thing was in the GF our kicking was pretty good - 13.8
It's spectacular when it works, it's selfish when it doesn't.I also think you could probably look at Schulz and Daicos's goals and they probably had options to pass

The good thing about footy is that we get at least another 2 chances.

I wish there was a head shake emoji for your over reactions. Calm the boat. Go glass half full & I'm sure your week will improve.So you’re relying on a bunch of players coming back from ACLs, some 30+ year olds and an 18 year old to be our panacea. I don’t see it.

Joe made as many mistakes as other senior players on-field during the match on Saturday, the media blaming our entire loss on him is stupid. That 2nd quarter of barely tagging Daicos once Bez got subbed off cost us more than any of our forwards missing goals. I would like to see someone analysis how McRae got Pies players to shut down multiple of our elite players, that was great coaching by him, yet he's getting no recognition.
And Nathan laugh's at this. Doesn't offer any reasons why we couldn't do these things just keeps drinking the Kool-Aid.Why can't we have just been ruthless. Why don't we enjoy burying teams? We're too nice.
People, david king is perpetually triggered because Fagan directly called him out once in a presser. His analysis is dogshit.
His analysis is the worst in the caper relative to how deep he goes into these erroneous points. My favourite past time is listening to him provide brain dead analysis for 5min only to have someone like Dunstall make a simple point which collapses the whole thing. He then gets defensive but doesn’t have any points in rebuttal (likely because it’s gone off the script kingys producer has drafted for him).
