Watching the replay and rankine torched Anderson on that last one he missed who was in a better position to kick the goal
Certainly torched Weller once and sexton on another occasion. But I’m the moment hard to blame him for having a ping.Did Anderson torch players in the 3rd as well?
Think there is a problem with the small forwards apart from Rankine, none are big goal kickers. Ainsworth is now a better mid and Holman and MacPherson are struggling to consistently hit the scoreboard. Maybe better options in the reserves and academy long termCertainly torched Weller once and sexton on another occasion. But I’m the moment hard to blame him for having a ping.
I also saw these - thought it looked like underage footy, trying to put the team on his back and snag the difficult goal. Clearly he felt comfortable taking the shot though. Got to be a balancing act - if you feel comfortable and inside 50, take the shot. IFf someone is clearly in space though, give it off.Certainly torched Weller once and sexton on another occasion.

Sexton has proven to be a big goal kicker, so long as he's on form. But you're right, we don't have many actual small forwards. We have mostly mids that can apply good defensive pressure that are jammed up there.Think there is a problem with the small forwards apart from Rankine, none are big goal kickers.

Don't mind Anderson/Rankine taking those shots, aslong as they win us some games the same way later on. Take the bad with the good.I also saw these - thought it looked like underage footy, trying to put the team on his back and snag the difficult goal.

Agreed. I'd rather them have the confidence to pull the trigger and have a shot rather then * around with the ball and cause a turnover or make a mistake. Both players are the sort of blokes with a few more pre seasons will win a game by themselves. Keep backing them in and they will get there.Don't mind Anderson/Rankine taking those shots, aslong as they win us some games the same way later on. Take the bad with the good.
I would like to see a bit more from Ainsworth.. had a couple of good passages of play the last few weeks but not consistent.. definitely doesn’t deserve to be dropped though
Ainsworth is playing alright, he does need some more time through the middle. Has the power and ball use to be dangerous. When Weller isn't in the middle we look so slow its gonna kill us against teams like the Dogs, Gws and BrisForward flank / pocket hard to get into games consistently (just ask DMac). Surprised we haven’t given Benny some more time on ball given there are periods where we look a bit slow in there. Maybe last night wasn’t the night for it as the Doggies have a big midfield with Bont, Macrae, Smith.
We should be absoloute geniuses with all the mistake learning we've done over the past 11 yearsThe coaching team will go through these mistakes and the team will learn from last night
Except for that haircut. WTF is that? Looks like someone’s left Warwick Capper alone in a cell with a pair of scissors.All the talk about Rankine, Walsh, King etc. But Bailey Smith from the same draft looks like the complete package.
I have always been a Miller fan simply because of his commitment to the cause but I put my hand up high as someone who never saw him progressing his game to this level.Always thought he would be a solid B but he is definitely B+ maybe A now.No-one works harder at being the best they can be by all accountsDamn it, woke up with a headache and really flat. I can't imagine how players feel after such a loss. With a bit of luck we could had been 6:2 and on the way to play finals. I am sure players realize that too. The longer the hubs go the more Vic teams will be affected by living away from homes. I think we are still in it.
Touk is a real champion and I am really happy for him. A lot of people now eat their words about him. He looked shattered in his interview. Similar to him, I believed the last 10 min we had them.
I have time to re-watch it but I don't want to as I will see really silly mistakes, turnovers. For some reason, that 50m penalty by Rankine really pisses me off as it changed the momentum. That was undisciplined. Again, for the second time, the game was on his boot. I know, he's only 3 games player and will win us many games in the future. How lucky we are to have him. Still frustrated.
10 days break. Contrary to general opinion, I doubt there will any changes against GWS.
Yep Miller has been fantastic. Gives 110% rain hail or shine. I didn't think he was in the starting midfield this year and boy am I happy i was wrongI have always been a Miller fan simply because of his commitment to the cause but I put my hand up high as someone who never saw him progressing his game to this level.Always thought he would be a solid B but he is definitely B+ maybe A now.No-one works harder at being the best they can be by all accounts
Was disappointing last night that my vote getters were all senior players 26yo+ given the opportunities we're throwing at the young guys.Luko was close
Hopefully nothing serious with his knee. He had it strapped already 3 weeks ago.Yep Miller has been fantastic. Gives 110% rain hail or shine. I didn't think he was in the starting midfield this year and boy am I happy i was wrong

Did you listen to his reasonings?Leigh Matthews must’ve been watching a different game
Except for that shanky McShank kick into the F50 they rebounded offCollins was outstanding.
