Game Day Pies v Hawthorn, 5 August, 4.35pm, MCG

[Mollythedolly]

Lobb is as much a ruckman as Moore. Most teams use a 200cm forward to supplement their first ruck and we have one that we’re nursing through the season.

Moore showed great potential as a ruckman early in his career. What you think of Lobb as a ruckman means * all when all of GWS, Freo, and the Doggies have chosen to play him in the forward - 2nd ruck role…. Just saying. They clearly didn’t get your memo.

To me it was one of our best teams on paper. That’s where it stayed. Out played by a team prepared to put in the effort.

That post you replied to isn't an emotional one, it's how we've been found out over the past weeks and is now coming home to roost.

We've been down for weeks yet managing wins, now and last week it's clear it's unlikely we'll win another game seeing how the opposition are now able to stop us.

More unlikely we will lose 7 in a row.

Yeah I’m sure bringing in Bucks and Malthouse to abuse the fk outta the players will turn everything around

 

[Kreme Pie]

Won 13 of the last 34 encounters with the Hawks since year 2000.
Bunnies we are.

Too scared to check Win/loss since the 70’s. I know it’s not good.

If Ginni can’t get a game after the last 2 weeks then he might as well look elsewhere

yep absolutely bizarre takes

McStay was good early but he needs to find a way to be have more of a consistent impact across the four quarters.

Part of that is probably on our collective forward group which has to do a better job of freeing each other up with leading patterns and blocks as any forward's bread and butter is still getting out on the lead and clunking a few easy ones - the contested pack marking stuff is the cream on top.

You could hardly blame him for his game falling away. He would hardly have been inspired to greater heights by the efforts of his teammates.

And we're unlikely to win another game.

What odds would you give on that comrade?

we really need to start lobbying the afl for a priority pick

More unlikely we will lose 7 in a row.

Actually likely given the 16th placed team can pull us to bits, even after throwing the kitchen sink at them at cb, only to get continuously pantsed.
