Third quarter aside, our midfield got baked by Rowell. He had 20 clearances! Apparently the most in a game was 22 clearances.

Embarrassing by our mids to allow him to go off like that
I blame Taranto. He was a complete s**t truck by all metrics
 
Tale of two halves. 1st half was deplorable. Pathetic. Then kept them to 3 goals in the 2nd half and moved the ball much better.

Team selection was poor and it's frustrating that most fans knew it beforehand. Samson Ryan should never have been picked and Jack Ross was great, should never have been sub. Balta looked 100 times better as the 2nd ruck.

Game was lost in the midfield. I thought Yze was making stoppage and clearance work a priority? it was ******* horrible, especially the 1st half.

I'm going to give them a mulligan for that 1st half but if we serve up that s**t again I'll be livid.
 
Really happy with Balta fwd today, once the ball starting going fwd he looked dangerous and his work in the ruck gave us energy.
Vlastuin was incredible, Seth was great for a first game, Ross’s energy was infectious when he finally came on.

Bolton needs to play more mid, hopefully yze will realise this sooner rather than later. I actually thought hopper was very good second half as well. Gibcus and short improved after halftime.

Thought broad Ryan and Taranto were extremely poor all game. Baker not far behind. Kosi was s**t but competed well in the 2nd half. Our effort in rhe first half was diabolically bad.

Next week drop Ryan, Naismith, Banks for dusty, Nank and lunch

Can’t remember last time Grimes had a really good game.

He seems to have lost confidence and his temperament is a liability in the back.

Give him a spell in the VfL or try him in a new role up forward.

We need Balta in the back.

He’s lost his pace. His place should be in the VFL helping the youngsters develop down back.
 
Positives:

Maurice. Justified selection. Provided spark when no one else was.
Vlaus
Balta
Pickett. Way better than Banks at this stage.
Campbell
Ross. Should never be sub again. It’s criminal.
Hopper. Early disposal errors but was good overall.



Negatives:

Skill errors. Some horrible stuff in the 1st half.
Centre bounces. Witts too good. Damning that Balta did better than the taller blokes.
Grimes. Still ok in the contest but the brain fades continue.
Taranto. Terrible skill errors.
And our stoppage mids should be embarrassed.

Extremely concerning that the coaching staff thought that Ryan and Kozi are up to it. Both miles off it.

The midfield is all wrong and it was concerning that no changes were made until the game was long gone.

The tackling was about the worst I've seen.
The foot skills from Taranto, Hopper, Grimes, Young, Naismith, Prestia, Broad just deplorable.

We only looked good when we put speed into the game from both the Riolis - mostly Dan.

Looking at our draw - we could easily be 0-5

Hopper was much better after half time.
 
I just want games in the kids bc our old timers are taking us nowhere. i don't care if we lose by more, but at least we are investing in the future. Yze is a moron starting Ross as sub.
Grimes, KMac, Prestia, KOSI and Hopper are not best 22. Ryan is NGTMI and by the way that young Basketballer in the VFL is better than him.
