Probably.Wardlaw needed a week in the VFL
So you honestly dont think we have improved? Even the best clubs have off days, freo lost to hawks after beating swans last week.We almost defeated them last year. But nah, progress.
I can forgive Teakle the down game after what hes shown since we picked him. I love Pinky but he probably needs to start bright next week and stay in the game because when Logue comes back, someone has to go and Kal Dawson (despite todays game) has shown a lot more.We were collectively fumbly weren't we. Archie can stay in the side, I was just pointing out how little ball they got, and if you aint got the ball, guess who has
I don't think the Teakle , Pink, Larkey show will get many more episodes tbh & imo.
Funny that the numbers were so low in such a crowded scramble of a game. It looked like there were just constant tackles as the ball went from pack to pack.Neither did Sydney though
Sydney had 51 total tackles to 45
The only disappointing thing for me was our pressure was way down early and it wasn't due to the pressure of the opposition because they were also bog ordinary in the first quarter. Both teams were rated as poor, so to me we lost an opportunity to take advantage of a side that was definitely off. Would that have resulted in a win today ? Certainly not, but with better work-rate it may have resulted in an improved performance overall.We’ve had a few weeks of being very competitive against a lowly peer and a few mid-table teams. It’s very much better than we’d got used to but Sydney at the SCG this year is another level and today - possibly for the time being - we don’t have the gears to step up to that.
We Know Where We Are As A Footy Club(TM). Disappointing day but doesn’t change how much better I’m feeling about the future.

Standard game after a week on media street as denis would say.That was probably Sheezel's worst game since the bloke came to the club
More indicative of the lack of creativity from his teammates but when our main man is off you know it's going to be a bad day.
Good reminder for our young team to reinforce how effing hard you have to continue to work day in, day out to get to the top.We’ve had a few weeks of being very competitive against a lowly peer and a few mid-table teams.

Only 1 bottle of red as i had to drive to pakenham to pick up some bees.I thought it was pretty good for you Kosh.
Seriously though, it is actually pretty good.
I tried to scroll down to see Eddie Ford's name on the list. Did you forget to add page 2?View attachment 2047144 View attachment 2047145 View attachment 2047139
There's ya ****en review in a nut shell or in a spud skin if you'd prefer. None of them should play next week, if we're half serious. Now I do get and understand playing as a fwd at the SCG is difficult if you haven't experienced it. Short ground and you can find yourself caught between the play, has happened to much better footballers that the above lot.
Didn’t get to watch any of it. Geez ugly scoreline. Any quarters /parts worth watching on the replay?
They got outgunned on the day. I thought Charlie, as always, battled it out. They overwhelmed us completely. We had some disastrous, costly turnovers that were punished. A few 12 point turnovers as well.Dawson, McDonald and Comben were absolutely disastrous today.
We do need to raise our floor though. That margin was extremely disheartening considering our last stretch of games, and to be honest actually flattered us a bit.
We must respond next week against Carlton which will be a big test. Not win necessarily, but respond.

The point I think (at least for me) is that throwing is explicitly against the rules. It isn't discretionary for the umpire to ignore throws. It isn't an option that allows for players to choose throwing as a method of disposal. The fact that they get away with it so frequently, for such obvious throws is the problem.I’m sorry but I can’t understand this habit on our board of saying that every other team, bar us, is “throwing the ball”. Whatever they’re doing is what is part of the modern game. If we can’t match them, what’s the point of playing? Of course, I’m 100% sure that all the other boards say the same thing and reckon we throw the ball. It’s a weirdness.
Paul Curtis? He didn't even manage a cameo today.he ended up with 12 disposals, look we didn't get much quality ball fwd, which needs to be acknowledged. The game is all about stoppage dominance.
But I think we went to tall for the opponent we faced.
