If you watch the game again the Dogs were kissed on the dick by a Chinaman. Every blind kick went down their throats, every stray bounce went their way, every errant handball or kick went straight to one of them. A few of them even stuck marks they didn’t even know they had.
And nothing went our way except them hitting the posts
It certainly helps when luck is giving you a reacharound on the night.

Yeh, how have the dogs got a surplus of talls AND smalls?

Decent teams don't roll over and expose their bellies and nor do captains.
Steele is pathetic.
So are the Saints.
Neither have standards.

Steele is clearly injured. He shouldn't be playing. Came top five in the time trial over the summer so he was fit then. The personal potting of him such as this is way over the top and uncalled for.

Was at the game on the wing. We got smashed in the centre clearances. When we got it back in back third we ran and tried to link up and there was no space, went wide on a switch there was no space. Hill and NAS tried to break the lines again space was closed down.
Lyon was pantsed in the box vy Beveridge and I reckon he knows it ego is not his problem.
Dogs have two very tall well rated backs we had no one to compete height wise down there,...ball came out too easily and they were clean with their ball use we were not especially when the pressure to play catch up happened towards end of second quarter....game over from there.
Bagging Steele is not solving the problem. You cannot lead from the front if you are on the sideline. Bloke has pride and wants to lead even when perhaps he shouldn't.
Personally I would play him full forward, he takes a good contested mark and is a very straight kick.
We really miss Clarke and Jones is sadly not the answer. Stocker could be worth a go but he is not quick. Pity Dow is not ready to experiment but shit happens. Caminti is looking more comfortable as each week goes by.
We would have taken 3 and 3 at the start of the season and Freo are fragile away from home, so could be 4 and 4 with troops coming back.
I have noticed more blow ours from games this year, this was another example.
Expect a different game plan/style against Lions, as RTB does what we pay him to do counter punch....HARD

No way.
It's pathetic to just roll over.
Bloke should be playing at Sandringham

- He keeps putting himself back on the field, so criticism of his performances is justified.
- We've had years now of watching his leadership, so criticism of that is also justified.

He's the leader of the club and he epitomises our team performances in big games.
The opposite of a captain
I don't agree it's quite that bad, but I don't think he'd be captain at basically any other club and that shows how little leadership we have. Wilkie the only real leader at the club imo.

Sorry but that's just nonsense. He's had some massive performances for us in big games. The bloke is injured and yes he probably shouldn't be declaring himself fit but it's because he wants to be out there leading. I reckon you're way off the ball on your criticism of him, his performance has been poor this season but labelling him soft is inaccurate.

Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game
Yeah you stick with your culture champ and your glorious win over crappy Carlton …hope you got a cup for that …
I’d have taken Langford thanks then still added Tauru or Trav and I’m pretty sure we’d have avoided the “scourge”
What rot.

Well...what you should do, is write a strongly worded email to the club about how you're going to turn this team with your knowledge on drafting, tell them you should be head recruiter because your knowledge will win the next 15 flags for us
then log back onto bigfooty when every person and their dog is also saying that you should have drafted so and so.
really have no idea why people dont just get behind the players we have drafted instead of just waffling on over what could have beens

Watch the game again? I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a stick for two hours.

welcome to the clubAh, “champed”.
(always a first time, I guess)
The Dogs have long been problematic.
I'm just not buying into this loss. Anyone who put 2mins thought into it would know this was very likely to have been a poor showing. It doesn't mean anything.
This!!!!!
