sack yze- clueless game plan. ralph and sonsie are no value whatsoever. they bullied us we need severe weights and running. a long way to go
Game plan with a lot of players less than 50games. Plus injuries to a lot of players. Development few years.

Would rather lose by 200 with trying some positive daring football, than lose like we did with a defensive flood that Geelong picked apart with ease
 
MRJ played very well

Mansell played quite well

and Vlastuin got the square up (at least partially):

no connection with dangergag's head. = no weeks
 
Mansell, Rioli, Banks, Campbell and Nank our best.

If we played West Coast tomorrow they’d beat us by 8 goals….

Great to see Rioli played further up the ground, and look at the results. One of his best games in the yellow and black.

Unfortunately his full game came at the expense of Lalor. I’d put a line through him for the year now no matter what. Get him right for next year, send him to Dubai, send him to Qatar. Send him somewhere to get that hamstring right.

Why we didn’t play our best key defender on their best key forward will keep me up tonight. Cameron an absolute superstar though, and he’s had 2 handballs when directly opposed to Miller.

Miller got some of the best foot skills for a key defender in the comp.

Trainor needs a spell. Looks tired, and I don’t think his kicking is as good as what people think it is.

Looking forward to the VFL tomorrow, a team capable of hitting targets, and moving the footy quickly.
Agree with everything you have said. Only thing I will raise is that Broad has done the hob on Cameron before, but perhaps in a different set up.
Worth a try again, but they made the right move in the end.

So many disappointments in this game:
  • No forward presence, i'm inclined to say our forward line is worse than our midfield. No movement in the forward line, no crumbing after a contest. What the hell are they doing in training? What is Newman doing with this group to make them better?
  • Injury to Lalor, put him away for the season and get a full pre-season in him for 2026
  • Defensive transition was poor, the Cats just ran riot most of the time
  • Jonty's goalkicking is very poor. If this is our long-term key forward... surely we can invest some money into hiring a goalkicking coach for him and even the whole team.
  • Sonsie, enough said.

Only positive was Rioli having a great game. Looked like he was the only one who was trying to find targets inside 50 and showing any sort of flair with ball in hand.
 
Positive is we didnt lose by 100p when looked that way half time , MJ game was excellent 19p 9 contested and 8 score involves , mansell and banks and blighty worked into game after a nervous blunder early , glad Faull finally converted from a nice mark , that’s a relief

Crying shame where lalor is at , we need then best damned specialists to put him on a path of greatness , we don’t want him to be a Nathan freeman type
 
chris newman should go to carltoon imo

Heaps of positives tonight starting with our ball movement.
Always looked inboard first and backed our ourselves if it was on

Some very pleasing individual performances too
  • Huge break out game from MRJ, best game for the club by a mile
  • Same for Mansell, exceptional game
  • Tom brown got more of the ball, was more proactive and daring
  • Banks crushing, so reliable now
  • Campbell more of the ball since he’s hitting the middle a bit
  • Ross and Prestia great couple weeks in a row

Bads
  • Hugo soft as shit
  • Sonsie better but too timid
  • Balta “keep it simple stupid”
Prestia didn't have a clearance
 
at least he doesn't get injured that often i think most times he's just missed through suspensions or shoulder injuries and now that he has a partner those two things might clear up
wouldnt mind him getting rubbed out for a hit on nick softcos in a few weeks
