Bramble plays with a swagger and confidence that exceeds his ability, needs to reign it in and cut down the mistakes

Lobb was great, when he plays like that he offers more than JUH (doesnt hurt you with ball use) and Darcy, wish he would meet the ball at its highest point more, often hunched over at point of contact negating his height advantage in marking contests. problem is, he is always good fresh after...

amazing what pressure does, where was that last week St Kilda coughed the game up with a ridiculous number of turnovers in Q1 Gallagher is a genuine good player, the highlight of the season for me Jones kicked the ball far too often, heart in mouth every time. Bramble makes too many mistakes...

if the intel from last year was true, and Bont went to the board to say the player group had lost confidence in Bevo, and all they did was put Egan between Bevo and Grant and a new assistant, then he would be pissed off.

if you look at our age and experience profile over Bevo's tenure, we were perpetually and frustratingly young and inexperienced up to 2021. He played kids e.g. English, over experienced guys often to our chagrin. the excuse of putting development over wins was for him to build to his own mature...

yeah, the worst was the favouring of Bob over Boyd in 2017. bob was cooked, post knee, and there were even signs early 2016, Boyd should have played ahead of him bar for sentimentality. a collingwood poster said something spot on the other day. how many of Bevo's favourites have made it...

Corne's take on Friday night is spot on. critiqued Bevo's pressor, which was cryptic and confused. He has no cohesive narrative to share with supporters and media about where we are at, where the list is at, where we are going. Are we in the window and underperforming? refreshing? rebuilding...

was it just me or did JOD look slow last night the back line is so so suspect, our best player there Jones has many deficiencies (kicking, decision making, panicky, over committing to some contests). and then there's the rest

another 6 goal run against

Bevo's last 8 games, 3 and 5 with an incredibly easy draw, this is clearly a bottom 4 team lost to Hawks lost to West Coast beat Geelong (tanking with half a side in) lost to Melbourne (belted) beat Gold Coast beat West Coast lost to Geelong lost to Bombers (injury hit)

ive never been so angry and frustrated, its juts so incredibly obvious that Bevo's cooked, been that way for two years. when he sooked last year after Bubba, and dragged the players down with him and virtually threw the eagles game, and a finals birth, that would be the end of a coach in any...

wow, Draper owned English, i think English is scared of him

ive been saying the same for two and a half years, not reviewing the 21 GF was the biggest single coaching mistake ive seen in football

Bevo needs to fall on his sword on Monday

Sanders and Gallagher going well Enough said on English but he really set the tone of the match with that disastrous first quarter, for the upteenth time in his career. Duryea missing his 3rd kick under 15 metres in 1 and a half weeks Williams pathetic forward line a shambles. im not watching...
