Funnily enough Carlton were about 30 up against GWS and lost too. Big swings in momentum with lots of goals one way seem to be in vogue this year

Paps really let himself down with that shot

over the past month some of the playing group are consistently not taking the first option, instead trying to take 2 or 3 tacklers on (Chad) or looking to make the impossible kick (Errol)
Annoying loss for many reasons but if you're going to drop one I guess you might as well when everyone else around you does.
Players are being too selfless, I get the sense they play hot potato sometimes. Too many handballs and we just get torched on turnover.

One positive was logan backing himself in immediately to take the shot. Just pushed it left, no shame in that

Disappointing but absolutely no need to panic.
We’re two games clear on top of the ladder.
A percentage streets ahead of anyone else.
Our three losses this season have been by a whopping five points, one point, and two points.
Plenty of time to get back on our feet for September.

Melican and Blakey were the bigger liabilities today. McCartin and Rampe were average, but better than last week. At least McCartin took some intercept marks.

He was poor. Saw a few "it's your turn" moments he decided to stand and watch. He coukd do with a rest too.

Arrogant football, momentum and their ball movement killed us.
Went to our heads, 3.11 after half time is inexcusable. Poor defensive transition once again, hope it stings lads.
One of the most embarrassing performances in recent memory.
Glass half full approach, 3 losses under a goal now this year, lets hope these are the losses we can learn off. Managing these close games as of late has been poor.

Seems like Heeney may get a 1-week break anyway, courtesy of the MRO
Out: Amartey, Wicks
In: Hamling, Adams
Sub: Co Warner
Heeney up forward.
Really don't think Parker in mediocre reserves form and 6 weeks off, or Mills first match of the season is going to help us. If it were a wet game, maybe Parker, but doesn't look like it.

Richmond we were crap of course and gave it away early and had to catch up, Freo are a decent side can excuse that more.
Today we had the game basically one, we were all over them, and lost to a pack of second rate spuds

Heeney won’t be playing
To be honest with the forward entries the Saints got you could have Weitering as our FB and May as our CHB and it would not have made a difference. There was an open man somewhere. Burnt in transition, maybe the midfield is tiring out.

I'm dropping amartey after that. Provides absolutely 0 outside of a marking contest and misses way too many goals. Cannot be trusted

If Heeney gets a week for that its a joke
We just can't seem to get everyone playing well at the same time at the moment.
Last week McLean looks like he is going to mark everything, this week he looks like me trying to take a contested mark.

Wouldn’t say the wheels are falling off, 17 other teams would want to trade places with us right now.
Having said that we are in a slump, the midfield isn’t as effective as earlier in the year.
Amartey, McLean, McDonald only one of them seem to be in form in any given week up forward.
Mills in and Heeney forward could be a move to refresh the midfield a bit.

Amartey still living off his 9 goal game a few weeks back.
