Weiters is off injured, Voss puts Charlie at CHB at the SCG to try and get some drive from the backline.
Remember we still had TDK and Harry as forward targets. It didn’t work out but at least Voss was trying something to get the ball going our way.

There is always time to reward the best performers at VFL level. Especially during an injury crisis.
I am bemused by people who refuse to put heat on the guns who went missing and pin the loss on fringe players.

We were incredibly bad tonight. Pressure lacking. Perhaps the worst tackling performance I’ve seen under Voss. No real winners on the night. So many non contributors.
In saying that, while disappointed, I’m not shocked with the result. Sydney are the best team in the competition at the moment. They probably won’t lose a game at home this year. We’re down on troops. Third time in four weeks playing 1st on the ladder. Weitering off at half time. I’m not hitting the panic button yet but if we can’t beat GC at home next week, different story.

He put Charlie back to try and stem the bleeding, not as a counter punch.

I'm more than happy for Hayward to resign with them (apparently that is now in the works) on massive coin.
He's a good player but not the one we need.
Hopefully the media attention bumped up his price a couple $100k.
We need a CHB who can stay on the park and a speedy midfielder who can stay on the park... Well to be honest anyone who can stay on the park has got to be a target at this point.

The midfield has been worked out by the opposition and we can't mix it up with injuries. We need to run williams, ehollands, cunners through there

He is singled out because he is clearly not up to it. Pitto, Cripps, Walsh and Hewett will bounce back next week. What does an inform Durdin actually look like?
40 games. Has never kicked more than 2 goals in a game. Has had more than 12 disposals only twice. Averages 2.7 tackles (low for a supposed strength)
A 2 year extension is a disaster and plenty of people are frustrated seeing these performances in the weeks after they gave him the deal.
Disappointed in our prev big money recruits in McGovern & Z.Williams, conditional footballers who dish up some ordinary moments all too often.

Just want to shout out Marc Pittonet for his performances recently (including tonight) - he has been in career best form since returning to the team. Bringing everything he has and more so far in 2024 and has made himself completely undroppable which is great to see.
Some areas he is doing well in statistically in 2024 (the game tonight hasn't been included in the stats as of yet):
Some areas he is doing well in statistically in 2024 (the game tonight hasn't been included in the stats as of yet):
- Contested possessions (12.0 per game) ==> 3rd amongst rucks
- Ground ball gets (4.6 per game) ==> 6th amongst rucks
- Centre clearances (3.4 per game) ==> 2nd amongst rucks
- Total clearances (6.6 per game) ==> 2nd amongst rucks
- Score involvements (5.8 per game) ==> 5th amongst rucks
This reminded me so much of the 2013 Semi Final.
Our players slipping on the surface constantly and the Swans obviously with proper boots handling the surface much better, in particular Warner, what a beast.
Charlie slipped twice within one minute while stationary, kicking the ball under no pressure!!

Finger held up well tonight. Great effort from the big guy.

There's obvious holes in our list that are self explanatory, injuries or not that are restricting our ball movement - we have gone for long periods in games without scoring many times over the last 18 months just usually we can turn the game into a wrestle to keep game tight ..
Still not a fan of two rucks - harry looked better earlier in season when he was involved in the game more as that back up ruck - our turnover game seemed better with TDK but pitto is the better tap ruckman so who to choose ?.
We will limp to the bye and hope for the best from there the way things are looking..

We will, I think most likely in a staggered fashion.
Throwing 2 first gamers in tonight against the top of the ladder side who are flying on their home deck wouldn’t have gone well either.

I agree with most of that but he's still young enough and he missed basically all of last year (the games he played were injury effected). I think he'll be ok. He's got more about him than what he's showing right now - missing tackles / fumbling.
Regardless - we can't be getting the knives out for our forward pocket after a team performance like that. Their midfield went sprinting out of the front of the centre bounces for the majority of the game after quarter time. Our forward pocket had nothing to do with that embarrassment.
Guarantee this doesn’t last all season. I would be more worried if we had no injuries at this time of year than any other. They are a brilliant team, but they are being carried a bit by continuity, and how good their stars are playing. Reckon they’ll be figured out by the first week of September
Gov’s first quarter was exceptional. Williams was one of the few who tried to stand up when we were under siege. Also loved that he didn’t stop trying all night. They were far from our biggest issues tonight
All things being equal, he’s playing vfl if 1 of of Fogarty or Motlop are fit.
The whole years of never getting a decent small forward is still costing us, Durdin and Fantasia aren’t getting games for anyone except maybe the bottom 3 and us.
Where do you start cutting Arrow, do you look at age, available players to fill position…?
It depends who we can replace said players with as well. Cant just clear out a whole heap and replace them with randoms 70 odd in the draft, which we wouldn’t be doing.
