gets mauled every week. It’s as though the umps have decided that the usual infringement rules don’t apply to him just coz he’s so big.

I’ve felt for years that the club should compile a video of all the frees not paid to Mason and send it to AFL Operations boss with a Please Explain.

Imagine if Cox was umpired same way as Charlie Curnow

. He’d kick 50+ goals per season!

Graeme Wright has f***ed us.

We had cohesion and balance, and he left us for doof and pingers and Eurotrash.

you’d trade your black soul for pingers and Eurotrash

don’t go judging Wrighty

 

[Bramax]

We look slow and a little lazy.

And our skills are terrible.

First round draft pick sits with Freo

They’ll be happy!

This season is done. St Kilda were doing their best to lose that and we still got done. It'll take to long for our older boys to work into this season. We managed to squeeze the last of the list right at the end last year.

Shame we wasted a pick on Schultz but it was worth a gamble. Hopefully we can trade in some youth soon.

 

[WakeUpPies]

Positives:

• Reef can play and should never be dropped again
• Fin looked more hungry than most his peers in the 2min 15secs he played
• Billy can actually defend

Looks like our grandpa brigade spent what little gas they had left in the tank on grand final day. Play some kids and get JFN in for goodness sake.

 

[DWil6]

Putrid again. I dont mind it though. Not going to win the flag with Dad's army. Might as well get the draft picks... get rid of Derek, and actually pick a key forward, then recruit hard

Draft picks you say? Umm… about that…

 

[Bianconeri]

Might as well get the draft picks

What draft picks? Our first round pick is at Fremantle and our second pick is tied to Hawthorn.

Spent the last 30 seconds trying to come up with a convincingly sanctimonious response to this.

Came up empty.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I’d love to know how many Saint goals came from their Defensive 50. They were able to walk through the whole field, and sometimes we wouldn’t even get close to touching the ball.

The board needs to ban the footy department from trading our future 1st. It’s been a disaster everytime.

 

[Mollythedolly]

It’s gonna be a long week.

 

[Magpies Swoop Ya]

Another night of costly Clanger turnovers that in the end cost us the game , our Captain Moore is so jittery atm by hand & foot, Degoey can’t influence the game at all & giving us nothing in the centre , so many players seem off . Saints hit up targets in their fwd line & more often than not we continue to just dump kick it into ours & watch it rebound straight out, we are so frustrating to watch atm, but hey, its only zip & 3 !

 

[barrackers]

When the ARC was first in they were supposed to review every goal and if it was suspect then they’d intervene.

Has that rule been changed? Or was tonight’s game AFL endorsed corruption?

You’d think a professional comp would have adjusted the rules after Cameron received a handball while out of bounds. The best time to make that change was the following week, the next best time was during the offseason. Neither occurred.

 

[pablo disco bar]

I've barley watched the pies this year

Wtf is going on

Unfortunately we are cooked

Very dissapointing

 

[Raveneyes]

Friend of mine sent me this.
I was like, WTF does that me....oh you KENT!!!!

 

[sr36]

Loved them for a long time, but Howe, sidey and pendles are struggling. Mitchell and Cox as well.
He has been great so far, but will be interesting to see how mcrae handles some tough decisions coming up.

Cox was ok. Standard Cox game, but yeah the oldies are looking old.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Keeping an eye on the negativity thread

 

[DWil6]

Ok so this is our season, fine. Let’s make sure we get a top 5 draft pick out of it. That’s how we regenerate.

Yeah we don’t have a first rounder…

 

[ksardog]

Dominated hit out and lost clearances.

If Mitchell can't win it he has no place in the side. He has one job.

Yep, you can’t cover the ground running on your knees.
Hopefully McInnes performance will give the coach the faith to back in Macrae to start at centre square bounces.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

It’s the most disappointed I’ve been in the club for over 2 years, the desire and will has gone.
It’s all talk, clearly the players are content with just the 1 flag. Talk about how hungry they are to do it again is bullshit, the effort is D grade.

 

[regpies]

How about some skill training.

Hard to tell whatever game plan we are trying to do when we fumble and miss endless handballs.

When you aren’t going well can we go back to a bit more man on man. So much guarding of space and ignoring the opponent who is 5-10m on his own.

 

[YouBeauty]

Time to do a 2013-2017 style rebuild. I'm keeping perspective, last year was awesome. I guess I didn't expect the end to come this quick.

I agree. Cox is deligitimised by the umpires (ie the rules no longer apply if he is involved). For reasons as yet unclear, Curnow gets more soft free kicks on a regular basis than virtually any other AFL player.

 

[Looney]

I think Pendles and Howe should continue in 2025, but not Cox, Mitchell or Sidebottom....
That's why this year play McInnes, Macrae, Harrison and Allan to give them enough regular exposure at senior level to build them into 2025.

Pendles is definitely retiring this year and I feel Sidey will as well. As for the others, we'll have to wait and see.
