It's crazy for that as bad as we played we still could've pinched it if we kicked straight.Meh.
Got to take the good with the bad.
If we kick 16.10 instead of 10.16….are you still as annoyed?

I can't fathom why he wouldn't be playing in the midfield to begin with. We were getting bullied there all night. Should've thrown Naicos forward and Adams into the guts after half time.5 kicks and 4 inside 50s. It's not unusual for any player to miss those and they aren't big impact.
I'd prefer he was playing as a mid as he did the last two games, but he did not have a heavily negative impact on tonight's game.
Saad is a good player, but pudgy Nic Newman running rings around our forwards made me sick.Final thought for the night- the ball seems to ping out from our forward 50 very easily and it has seemed that way for weeks.
Can we improve our forward half game or is it not in line with our game plan? (I'm no footy maestro).
I don't think we ever intended for McStay to swing between forward and ruck. I don't even remember McStay rucking at all at Brisbane except for that final last year where he had a big impact, which is clearly a point of of reference for folks here as we all had our eye on him in that game.Watching McStay late in the ruck and we just cannot do him as even a temporary ruckman, he’s hopeless in that position.
If Cox is insistent on lumbering way off his opponents and losing ruck contests to forwards then Frampton really is the only option unless Cameron can effectively play 95% game time like Grundy used to.
I would rather win a GF, with the vision overturning a WRONG call by a goal umpire, than not have vision at all.Just on the Elliott goal review, the AFL needs to go away from making the goal umpire choose one or the other as a soft call. Let them say they don't know. I'm sure if they said "I'm not sure if it was touched" the third umpire would've said it was a goal.
Why not count Round 2 against Port? We absolutely blitzed them. They weren't missing anyone. Then going over there and beating them at Adelaide Oval when they'd had this game marked on their calendar since round 2 and rested 6 players the week before in preparation is a damn good win, and we were still far from our best that night.Cats didn't lose a game from round 9 last year, the whole game we had to lose is trash.
Let this sink in
2nd on the ladder
Beat Port by 2 points (I'm not counting round 2)
3rd on the ladder
Got pumped by Brisbane at home
4th on the ladder
Beat by the Dees should lost by 4 goals
5th on the ladder
Outplayed by Carlton all night lose by 2 goals
Are we really that good?
McCreery x2It's crazy for that as bad as we played we still could've pinched it if we kicked straight.
We missed one absolute sitter after another. Elliott, Checkers and McStay are rarely ever that inaccurate.
Not too worried about that game at all. Certainly don't feel like we've been "found out".
Fly has a warm and cuddly persona, but underneath there is steel.I learned to love Fly even more after that game.
Sure, he’s got his theory of “during the week inside the four walls you wouldn’t know if we won or lost” …
… but at his presser after the game he was clearly pissed that we lost.
Yep absolute joke that was. One angle was conclusive and showed a clear gap. What's the point of score reviews then!Seriously though, that Elliot goal there's a gap between ball and fingers and they showed the footage.
Moore isn't a FB.
Time mcrae realised this
You'd take the Carlton positioning all day as they had a player in amongst ours.Three Pies on one to the left. So the Blues had one more player in the contest. We have Pendles free just outside.
Whilst I have similar criticisms against Moore he was voted as our captain by the playing coaches and playing group. They’re clearly inspired by him despite what you may think of his body language on the TV.Logged in just to like this comment.
Moore frustrates the s**t out of me. He's only effective if he can play loose man in defensive 50, and generally only against weaker teams.
He gets caught out too often against the better teams as he doesn't respect his opposition player enough to play man on man.
His body language is generally sulking in nature and he doesn't inspire those around him. Compare the way he goes about it to Peddles and Maynard.
But hey.... he can give a good speech though
We don’t play man on man defence. You’re blaming Moore for playing how we are supposed to play. And if we turn it over that’s when the defenders get caught out. It’s a risk/reward strategyLogged in just to like this comment.

Nah - footage isn't always going to be conclusive either way so they have to make a call. Not sure what goal umpire instructions are, but surely his soft call should be a goal in that situation unless he's confident its been touched.Just on the Elliott goal review, the AFL needs to go away from making the goal umpire choose one or the other as a soft call.

I raised this on another thread given the noise and distance its was purely a ****en guess that went against us at a crucial time. Unacceptable from the maggot especially when the review showed a gap.Nah - footage isn't always going to be conclusive either way so they have to make a call.

The bombers board were commenting about if Wright got the frees curnow got fri night they would have won by 5 goals.I raised this on another thread given the noise and distance its was purely a *en guess that went against us at a crucial time.
