It wasn't just Stewart though, I think we must of trained to aim for nappy haired tall blonde guys because we kept picking them out over and over and over again all game long.Why did we bomb into Stewart? It's absolutely because of the limited skills of the midfield especially when under pressure. They either pass it to someone else under pressure who has to hack it or they hack it themselves.
Unfortunately if those 3 guys go then the cupboard is bare.A one goal loss and a three goal loss. And yet somehow this is the most depressing start to a season I can remember.
Au revoir Brodie Smith you were once a terrific footballer.
Murphy gotta be dropped.
We need a rule at selection that says only one of Crouch and Berry in the team. It just doesn't work.
Did it even help though? I saw him do a few 100m chases down the wing, lots of effort... kinda didn't prove anything.Not as awful as Murphy. But there's no doubt the crouch, Laird, Berry filled midfield is asking for max damage incurred. But Murphy, at 100 games, should go first, he's fully developed and there's nothing redeeming there. Except his hustle, gotta love that hustle.
Not watching ,How many goals has he kicked?Meanwhile, Zane Duursma with 10 marks. Has Fog or Thilly ever achieved that?
But wrren't we no 1 in the league for scores per forward 50 entry last year..that is not just luck and one player in fine formIs it?
Our forward line was nothing really special in 2021 / 2022.
I would wager that our great 2023 was more of a product of Tex having a career best year and the injection of Rankine.
It’s disgustingBad watching Young and Serong being absolutely elite at Freo while our pick 6 has already retired because they had a pea heart and never wanted to be an elite athlete.
Watching Jones run around like headless chook with no confidence while Butters is in Brownlow contention.
How have we been unable to identify elite midfield talent for a decade?? It's embarrassing
Well, we played Rachele and Soligo in there for the first 8 weeks last year in their 2nd year and totally cooked them for the entire season.......

Fogarty took 10 marks in the wins over Carlton and Gold Coast last year. Thilthorpe got 9 vs Freo which is his PB thus far.Meanwhile, Zane Duursma with 10 marks. Has Fog or Thilly ever achieved that?
You've lost me.Harder for big men to come back from these. Particularly those who run and jump a lot.
I'd love to see that .Midfield rotations

What? You honestly think Rachele could have played a majority of his 2nd year in the midfield? He always had to build up his tank to play there so it's not surprise he didn't play there as the season progress. At least he did show he can transition into the midfield where even Southerntakeover made a statement that "Collingwood would have fun with Rachele" and then he re-sign a 7 years extension.

Yes - look at his numbers in round 16 when he had 50%What? You honestly think Rachele could have played a majority of his 2nd year in the midfield?
So later in the season? After being refresh.Yes - look at his numbers in round 16 when he had 50%
Did it even help though? I saw him do a few 100m chases down the wing, lots of effort... kinda didn't prove anything.
Then on the rebound saw him miss tex with a 20m lead towards the 50m arc. Like... cmon.

I’m talking about this year which is Pedlars fourth year, Rachele third.It was their 2nd year.
Not until we take advantage of it with welsh thanksSo Gold Coast will again be hoarding a bag of junks picks to draft Lombardi then?
Let's see if the AFL finally fixes this farcical rort
Both haven't been given the opportunity in the first 2 games and it's really Pedlar's 2nd preseason.I’m talking about this year which is Pedlars fourth year, Rachele third.
