Makes you wonder if we would have won the Gold Coast and freo games if we had bobby hill.

We probably would have won both those games if we didn’t rest the players we rested in both those games

It was stupid knowing Richmond was coming up
 
After tonight some serious questions need to be asked, this is alarm bells right here. We are getting out numbered everywhere on the ground. There is no pack hunting, no support, no f*****g nothing anymore. What happened to Side By Side guys, you are anything but on the field lately.

In fairness, he was sub!

But also our midfield is getting monstered. Mitchell has contributed more, but Jack Ginnivan currently has more clearances than our whole midfield except Pendles.
He was on after 90 seconds. No excuses. He has been put on notice by making him sub & he hasn’t responded in any way shape or form.
 
Adelaide licking their lips for a 100 point win next week the way the Pies pressure up the middle.... absolutely nil pressure and one hand attempted tackles... it's either intentional or the entire midfield just gave up.
 
Our problem moving forward is we simply have no game breakers in the middle, nobody with power or athleticism, all slow and vanilla or in the back end of their careers, how are we going to fix that? We badly need a Kozzie, NAS type with game and line breaking speed and craft, if you camp on Naicos we turn to absolute butter

He was the sub who came on in less than 3 minutes

This second half will dictate the rest of our season. We have to find something in this next hour of football after 5 weeks of not showing anything or we are done.

Any thoughts of us being in the window next season are well and truly gone, so it has to be here and now this season or bust.

I'd also be holding off on signing any of our elder statesmen right now (including Pendles, Sidey, Crisp, and Howe) as this squad may unfortunately be closer to our 2013-14 level than our 2022-23 level, if the monumental slide we've seen unfold before our eyes this past couple of months is any indication.
 
Don’t think I’ve been this disappointed in the club for a long time, that’s the worst 1/2 of the McRae era.
Something is not right and it’s costing us the season
Find it pretty hard for a half to top that goalless one against Gold Coast, but I guess this one is more consequential
 
No more boundary kicks, just go via the corridor. The system can go get stuffed.

Fly always talked about having fun, well it looks like the players are seeing the game as nothing more than a chore. They have checked out mentally, they aren’t even lifting each other up.

Think fly needs to adapt and shelve his goody two shoes, time for a solid bake.

Maybe. Or maybe we would have gone into decline faster an accrued more injuries. We would have won had Jamie kicked that goal to put us 28 points ahead in the CG game. We would have won had our midfield not gone into complete water-treading phase against Fremantle.
