You know it’s bad when there’s no threat of a comeback in the last quarter. 3 defeats in the last 4, similar to 2023 however I think this is much different because now we’re suddenly in a top 4 battle, all that breathing space we had after the blues game is gone now.

Big selection mistake to leave Frampton out and potentially Mitchell.

McStay out, Cox in.

I don’t care if Cox is nearly cooked, at least he is still a good tap ruckman and can give a few one armed marking contests to bring the ball to ground level. He is no worse than McStay in value right now.

Midfield rot starts in the ruck. DC has regressed back to pre 2024 form. Can’t win decisive hitouts, only looks to wrestle and is now dropping easy marks.

Out only clearances come from Nick because he’s a genius. We get nothing out of anyone else and the coaches are so ****ing risk adverse they won’t change it up to add more speed and hardness with players like Crisp, Pez and Houston.
 
What a diabolical performance that was. This is what happens when you celebrate winning 14 games and making finals, been a garbage outfit ever since losing 3 out of 4 games. Huge problem just making the Top 4 now, could easily lose the next 2 games and that will be it. Once again, hubris takes over and we become our own worst enemy.
 
A few doomsdayers in the game thread. We were ok, but the pressure in the last 4 weeks has been off the charts (Richmond excluded). We’re not getting smashed. I’m not sure if some actually thought the premiership is going to be a cakewalk. They’re pretty difficult to win. We stay in top 2/4 and we’re still every chance if we can get some/all of Howe, DeGoey, Hill, Frampton, McCreery up and about.

One word describes the game tonight. Disappointing.

Not sure where we're headed from here but it's not looking good. We are going to get pantsed by both Hawthorn and Adelaide on current form and I'm not confident that we can even beat Melbourne right now.

We're a very difficult team to watch and have been for quite a while. Our leaders and the midfield not standing up when we need them to just makes everything harder and the whole game plan look shit.
 
We are in lousy form while a lot of finalists are hitting their best form. I think we will get done by Hawks & Crows. That will see us slip out of the top 4. We peaked about 6-7 weeks ago & have not been on our game since. Playing an unsettled lineup doesn’t help.
 
Midfield destroyed.

Defence exposed too easily.

But fk I wish we could get 6 goals directly from free kicks. That would make life easier.

And since when are 8m marks paid. - ****ing shit show. That played into their hands and allowed them to maintain possession.
 
Out: Dean, Markov, Long (Houston needs to smarten up)
In: Frampton, Mitchell, McCreery, Howe

Did Crisp play tonight, I thought his absence was significant. Also, great to see us subbing out JDG for Hill, messing around with sub tactics against a team like that, got what we deserved.
