Positives
  • Brockman and Ryan in the midfield
  • Ginbey continues to show he's capable
  • Baker and Graham may have gnarly kicks but they actually have a crack
  • Hewett with the triple
  • Hutchinson shows a bit
Negatives
  • TK - what a fall from grace
  • Harley...
  • Owies is worse than Langdon
  • I've never seen a ruck get rolled as badly as Flynn just did
  • We may never win again

Owies Cole and Hunt are average
Put Kelly to half forward let him play there
Malakai or Petch to come in
Think i would prefer Petch has he has a senior body and if you have too many young guys you hit a tipping point
Brock to replace Maric and Bazzo for Gov
 
Looking at it calmly, soberly and in the cold light of day, Matt Flynn might be the worst player to get repeated games at an AFL club ever.

Got annihilated by Witt in round 1. Barely matched in 4 quarters what Draper did in 3, got annihilated by Meek, got, I dont even know what you'd call it by Gawn.

I'm not mad at him. I'm sort of in awe of the fact he's somehow convinced a professional sports team to give him a contract and select him.

Hunt sucks but still kicked the hottest boo-nana I've seen since ordering pancakes road side in Kuta.

Owies giving us **** all offensively but rolling up hard into the guts as an extra, just stinking up possies and finish.

TC yeeeesh. I could easily juggle the team sheet and find his magnet in the bin. Need him to regain the early season form very quickly.

  • Ginbey worked his butt off all night
  • Hewitt popped up with some nice work
  • Maric got a glut of it in the first half, some good, some bad.
  • Baker I thought did some nice stuff.

  • Gawn just absolutely creamed Flynn - worse than Witts did in R1 and that is saying something.
  • Losing Gov killed us.
  • Oscar completely ineffectual.
  • Harley, Owies, Kelly, Graham, Cole, Hunt (a half only admittedly) were all poor.
  • Bo Allan had a night to forget, which is a real shame.

- A big one for me - incessant chopping and changing at the centre bounce attendances with no consistency of who is in there. This is on the coach and concerns me. I don’t mind trying different things but this has been excessive and is not working.
 
Im coming to the conclusion we are a good chance of going 0-23 this year

That dawned on me after the Carlton game. I legitimately cannot see us winning two quarters in a game let alone actually winning a game.

And Tim Kelly..oh boy..wowee...talk about getting a free ride of an absolute lifetime at this hellscape of a club. And Harley desperately needs to get fitter to smash the tag, you'da thunk he would've come to that realisation at the previous offseason but...you know..

What a poor take. He was amongst our best last week.
He absolutely was. But this year so far that’s the outlier to the pattern, aside from a game at half back where it lived there.

My point remains. He gets tagged each week and goes missing. It’s not his fault that there’s no help for him.
