You have to say that today was a much better performance than we've seen in other weeks. Dominated clearances and broke even on inside 50s. By and large, we got it out of defence ok.

We need to take a serious look at our forward line personnel and "craft". IMO. today's as clear as sign as we've had that the forward line is "the problem" rather than play up the field.
So depressing
Much better performance losing by 50 to a fellow cellar dweller where we never looked threatening for more than 5 mins

What, better than the performance where we beat Richmond and should have beaten Collingwood?

Is wing our weakest line? Scott is having a good year, but we are so often torn up by opposition wingman. We get nothing defensively out of them and not a whole lot offensively. Sleevo looks better at half back IMO, what is the long term solution?
 
As a defender, sure. He was drafted high, as a mid, what's to lose? He's the perfect size, for a mid. Even as an impact mid, 4-5 mins, per qtr.
I’m sorry, but, could you, please stop putting so many, commas in your posts?

I feel like I’m stuttering each, time, that I read, one.

All in the correct places, though. I enjoy good comma use.

I wouldn't say our weakest, but yeah, after we sort out KPFs and KPDs, it'd be my top priority
 
He took Dangerfields to the cleaners two seasons ago. He's at his best going for the ball.

I think I need to update the Bonars bio.
Dangerfield is just a physical beat, not overly crafty.
In a lot of ways this type of matchup suits Bonar , as he has the physical attributes to match which few do.

I'm just not sure Bonar is that good.
 
We’re 3 games away from the end of a horrible season where everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, these blokes are mentally exhausted and it’s showing on field. We’ll get a new coach, a new game plan, a priority pick and about 5 - 6 new players. We’ll be okay.

This could have been written on 29 July 2020.... or 2021.

We also had blokes out with Covid, which didn't get a mention.
 
Weird game.
Few things noticed.

- Charlie Lazzaro needs to find a football identity and fast. Not potting him, really want him to succeed but needs to decide what kind of player he wants to be.

- Said it in his thread but JHF needs to be force fed the ball at all costs 20+ as a team goal. Good things happen.

-Forward structure from a mark 60-70m out is horrendous. No blocks, no movement no kick to advantage unless it’s JHF, LDU or Stephenson.

- Essendon were quite happy to let Jy roam free and get 29 uncontested. He played well but it didn’t hurt them at all.

-Only room for one of Turner and Archer.

- We need to make sure this team is good enough to make the most of LDU and Zurhaars 23-28y.o years.

- Blanket term which I normally hate, but we just need blokes that can kick. Out of the 22 I would say 6 are strong by foot, 4 are solid but not good enough to be creative and then 10 suspect players by foot. Doesn’t cut it, not in modern footy.

-We miss more handballs than any other team in the comp.

- Zurhaar is a superstar.
Just want to highlight the Turner & Archer point. I’ll give match committee a pass this week because on unavailability, however we can not carry a back 6 full of lock down players with one attacking half back next year. The modern game does not allow sides to have a back 6 made up of purely defensive players. We have an inability to play an attacking style with this dynamic. It’s no knock on the individuals, but it’s been a problem for as long as I can remember. Every week we get sliced by multiple opposition half backs, every side bar us has multiple.

We need Stephenson and another genuine running rebounding half back (potentially even a third) next year to play 22 games in defence. People wonder why other 2021 bottom sides ball movement look far better then ours this year, every single one of them has a group of defenders that set up their attack - Hawthorn have Jiath/Impey/Scrimshaw/Sicily, Adelaide have Dawson/Smith/Milera, Collingwood have Daicos/Quaynor/Noble/Moore/Pendlebury, Carlton have Saad/Williams/Docherty/Newman, Essendon have Hind/Redman/Ridley… North have one of Stephenson or Hall at a time with McDonald (who played wing for 90% of Nobles coaching career) + a bunch of lockdown defenders (no disrespect to 🪣 who is a ⭐️).

It needs to f****** change.
 
I ****in hate this ,* this pathetic piece of shit team so much and can't wait for the day we truly rise above the drug cheats..... I really hope this shit footy club continue on their mid table finish for the next 30 off years. Sitting close to these pricks and going to school ( in the 80's ) l understand how low they are. In a couple of years years we will be finishing higher then these child molestering drug cheats. My hate for these dirty drug cheats will never die.
