We lost to a top 4 fancy away from home with a severely undermanned defence by just 4 goals?
Lot of doom and gloom in here

Given the injury list and the additional casualties today, I’m glad we hung in there and won the second half and didn’t let it blow out to a 50 point loss as it was threatening to do.
Improvement needed but if we had our best 22 available we’d be silencing many of the keyboard critics on this board.

After that 2nd quarter I feared another blow out like last week.
It wasn't.
We fought on well, and I thought some of our players dug in and played well in the second half.
Brayshaw, Fyfe, Darcy, Logue, Serong, Aish, Blakely, Colyer, Cox and Crowden can all rest their heads tonight.
Clearly, we're still carrying some WAFL standard players, and I'm not sure how you let Rich get 31 off half back but I'll let others figure that out.
Taberner was clearly not 100%, but who do we bring in to rest him?
Looking forward to seeing how they respond next week against Essendon.

If there’s any integrity at all around selection Acres and Lobb HAVE to be dropped.
Weak as piss. Don’t want to hear excuses about structure, or coaching or any other bullshit reasons why they should play next week.
They lack one simple ingredient - hardness.
You can’t manufacture it either, you’ve either got it or you don’t, and they don’t, full stop.

How many supporters will this club have to lose before they start doing things right
Treacy needs to be on a plane tomorrow, Lobb can’t just play one decent quarter after the horse has bolted. Forward pressure is non existent.

This year we aren't playing finals so time to dig in and develop our players. I would love to see:
- Meek play and Darcy forward
- Lobb in defence(?)
- Treacy and Henry in to continue to build on their games
- Add Western to the 22
- Tucker to the wing and Cerra back into the mid

Lobb was ok. Plenty worse than him today.
Didn't see the game. Can anyone tell me how Logue, Tucker and Blakely played?
At least Logue?

Way too many intercept marks with our transition. This needs to be looked at.
Poor/lazy defensive pressure by the forwards and midfield today put the very undermanned defenders in an even harder position than they should of been.

I thought Blakely actually gave us something around the clinches today.
Who cares about Brownlows, if he could kick we might actually win some football games
Easily. Need line in the sand style droppings. Aish, Acres have been poor off the wing. Schulz has played a magical act and disappeared completely. He’s definitely out for Switter, if we’re serious as a team

To lose by 4 goals away from home against a team that will likely go deep into the finals isn't bad.
However, we only really got into the game when the heat was clearly out of it. But at least we fought it out which is important.
3 goals in the first half is simply not good enough.

Switta will come back, he’s straight in IMO. Offers a lot of the forwardline pressure and hardness we are missing
