The first half was okay then maybe about 10 minutes in the last quarter when we nearly got back within striking distance.

It was nice to see Ewan Mackinlay continue his impressive form with another goal of the year contender, and also Joe Berry continuing his development and gaining more and more confidence.

Tommy A did okay on debut too.
 
Well apart from 15 mins we went for to toe. But by gosh that was an atrocious 15 minutes.

Viz. not quite delist worthy but I’d rather not see him at AFL level again this year. Can’t mark, not great in the ruck, offers nothing at ground level. Maybe a glimmer of hope we can develop his marking ability, but 90% looking a bust right now.

JHF had possibly the biggest disparity between effort and output I’ve ever seen. Did try but just flat out sucked tonight.

Not sure I see how Lorenz makes a career out of being a purely outside midfielder who doesn’t find a lot of footy, is slow, and is maybe the worst kick I’ve ever seen.

Put a line through Watkins. Unless he’s playing some super niche role, I can’t see anything he can contribute at AFL level.

Great little bit of development from Berry. Stayed involved all night. Happy for Richards to have an impact on the scoreboard. Couple of great little moments from McKinlay early too. Anasta stayed involved with no real damage but a fine debut.

Young, inexperienced team playing a top 6 side in conditions that don't suit our small fleet of runners. Was always a chance to blow out.
 
Has Shaun burgoyne done that dermal abrasion man makeup surgery?

JHF did not even sweat tonight. He either doesn't work hard enough or he's Prince Andrew...
 
JHF out of the goal square probably our most over rated 'play'. He can't outmark proper KPD sized defenders, he's better off just trying to force the ball to ground and winning it there.
I think he's at the point of his career where it needs inspection and review.



We know what his potentially is which what makes his insipid performances so disappointing

Another game where we had a really poor patch and was blown away. The final score line flattered us.

Another game where our set shots from simple kicks directly in front have been exceptionally poor. I’d love to know what our expected score for tonight was.

Gold Coast clearly had the bigger seasoned mature bodies that we didn’t have. Our depth without Rozee, Jones, Bergman, Lukosius and SPP is really concerning. But it makes me hopeful how we can perform with all of those players back in the side.

On to Carlton next week. Would be disappointed if we didn’t win that one.
 
Same amount of scoring shots. Poor kicking for goal is really ****ing us.

but honestly, who cares? Transition year, huge gulf of talent between the two teams.
I like watching us play, we have heaps of fight. The wins will come eventually, but finishing lower helps us this year.

I'll never think of this game ever again
