Tunstill, Marshall, Reville and Robertson out will just be too much out of the midfield for us today, flogging coming up.

McLachlan in the middle

 

[wattoxi]

Pressure straight up non existent here.

 

[Elixuh]

Uncompetitive. Sack fagan.

Only highlight is that Kiddy is just 100% conditioning. Skills by foot still sublime.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

The defending is just atrocious today. How on earth are we letting the Bulldogs have a three on one advantage around our own defensive goalsquare?

Boys also are hesitating too long when they have the ball and not lowering their eyes for the short option.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Midfield has been ok. It's been the backline that's been deplorable

 

[Mayestro]

Disposal efficiency running at 20% it feels like.

 

[Mr Ripper]

lol I was expecting a struggle today but this is appalling

 

[Nathan Barley]

Anyone wanting McKenna in the backline in the seniors needs to watch that passage of play

 

[Nathan Barley]

Inside 50s are equal

They're doing fine. But anyone who was playing in defence for us this quarter should never, ever see the AFL side again as a defender.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Joyce with an idiotic play on after a mark leading to a HTB. Simply doesn't have the footy IQ to be trusted consistently in the firsts.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Would think twice about promoting any of our defenders after this quarter

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Brain isn't ready for the big time. Where's Beecken playing today, on the wing? I feel like haven't seen him at all.

Not wrong but there’s basically no pressure or skill further up the ground which makes it impossible

 

[Bucking Beads]

They should probably be paying us to be here with this effort

That isn't an excuse for leaving so many opposing forwards unconvered and getting bodied regularly in one on ones.

 

[Section 5]

Just tuned in to find a blank screen being 1/4 time
looks like i also saw our highlights

Seems to have hit his ceiling as a defender which definitely isn't AFL level. Needs a change in role IMO

To be fair both our goals were nice snaps. Unfortunately everything else was terrible.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Would be really tempted to give Smith a game in the seniors soon

 

[Johnny Bananas]

The mids are doing better this quarter at slowing the Bulldogs ball movement, but the defence remains poor. ZZ gave an absolutely piss poor effort on that last mark and goal.

 

[Nathan Barley]

I don't think Joyce is worth keeping on

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Stupid decision after stupid decision, we keep kicking it to 1 on 2s.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Gallop must be off injured. Looked like he was grabbing his shin/ankle
