pretty sure our tackling efficiency against FREO was 52 %, but our tackling efficiency has been a issue for a while.
Does the club have a tackling coach..???
I know you get howled down if you say we lost it in the coaching box. Obviously tonight we lost it for all the reasons on the ground that have been raised but the coaching box seems slow to react at times.

We don’t even need to wait a year or two; it’s already happened to a bunch of players. Frightening how quickly it’s happened.

LETS SEE IF DOLLARS ARE ENOUGH TO ENTICE HIM. I SAY THROW THE KITCHEN SINK AT HIM AND SEE IF HE BITES. He may be motivated by money. We desperately need a young superstar player.He fits the bill. HE could be a Marquee player for the lions. Just ask Buddy why he moved to the Swans from the hawks.

I’ve calmed down somewhat now. I’ll be honest overall I thought we looked much better tonight than the last two games, we tended to actually stick to the gameplan this time instead of getting scared and reverting to bombing it long down the line which I liked.
Unfortunately we still lost, to me the reasons were threefold: 1. Poor skills all night, 2. Awful one-sided umpiring, and 3. Some truly shocking performances from a couple individuals.
I’ve always been a defender of Hipwood, and save for the grand final I thought he played quite well most of last year. The first three games this year he has been shocking though. I think it’s a perfect time to give him a rest and give Logan Morris a go. I’d also drop Oscar for Fort for a few weeks, Fort was really working himself into the game there.
Don’t think Berry was as bad tonight (though I’d still rather we try someone else in his position), and I thought Rayner played a better game as well. Too tired to post anymore thoughts, I’m sure it’s all been said anyway.
Ah well, 20 wins is still enough to make minor premiers

Zac continually over estimates his own ability. Instead of giving off the easy hand pass he tries to take on half the team and gets pinned holding the ball.
He also needs to spend a week at the Broncos and learn how to tackle, he gets brushed a side way to easily.
He looked so relieved in the PC. The calm demeanor is but a ruse.
Wonder if he might lose it if the Pies have another bad run during the year.
Lots of pressure on a Collingwood coach.

I hate to blame a loss on the umpires, but f*ck me that was terrible all night. Felt like we had to beg to even get anything, and when we did it was a few cheapies - yet anytime a Brisbane player touched the ball and a pies player touched him it was immediately HTB.
Knew it was gonna be one of those nights when Hill got away with the most blatant push in the back I’ve ever seen in the goal square, and was rewarded with a goal.
My other favourite moment was maybe in the 2nd quarter(?) where a pies player blatantly threw the ball out of a tackle, and the umpire sat there and thought about it for so long that by the time he blew his whistle the play had already moved down field.

Bailey should be now known as 'speed bump' , players just run straight over him.
Pies are elite at gaming the umpiring. As Lou used to say: if you get away with it, it's good play.

3 times a Brisbane player was dumped after the kick and three times the free kick came back to that spot instead of downfield. And holding the ball decisions are just a complete lottery.

I don't think we lost it in the coaching box, but think there were opportunities to make changes which we didn't that proved to be the wrong call with hindsight.
would like to see a game where our forwards are continually not competing against each other in the air. Have a look at Hipwood in the first minute or so of the game, he was having a go at someone for competing in the pack. Cant believe how many marks we dropped inside 50 in first half though. Everyone is getting frustrated. It seems like everyone thinks they have to do it off their own back so everyone competes for the big mark.

That kinda sucked.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Logan Morris as the third tall. I don’t think you can drop Hipwood unless he has a repeat of that, so Fort out with Daniher backing up the ruck.
Agree with others that Bailey should probably stay forward, with Cam getting more midfield time. If tank is the limiting factor and not sharing with Bailey then Robertson should get some more CBAs.
Wouldn’t mind seeing a Sharp/Fletcher/Ah Chee wing rotation and have Berry find some form by foot in the reserves.
I don’t love Zorko at halfback but with all our other options injured he did decently. My main workable criticism is that he sometimes made decisions when the ball was in dispute like he was a midfielder/half forward who thought his defence would cover a turnover. It mainly was those hack kick attempts off the ground, which work out decently when we have players behind but just are not worth it if you stuff up and give up an easy score off turnover.
I think we should encourage Wilmot to try and make some plays by foot since he’s the only healthy halfback from our trio last year.
I think the effort was there, the skills were just absolutely diabolical. At the ground there seemed to be one or two more handballs than necessary. I honestly think it’s because we just lacked our usual halfback options who usually made the kick even if it was a hack forward.

Hipwood needs to go back into defense or 4 weeks of vfl
So many forwardlunes are build around smalls. We have cc

I don't really blame the umpires. The AFL itself has completely cooked the rules and how the game is adjudicated. Until they fix holding the ball, the game will be an unpredictable, almost impossible game to adjudicate with any certainty.
Because the umpiring is schizanhousen this year except for umpire # 28 though
The players don't care. They don't give a rat's backside. They don't wanna chase, they don't wanna play. You have Chris Fagan before the game saying that "no one in the club listens to outside noise." Maybe you should, maybe you should. Maybe the coaching panel, the players, the board must listen to us members. We've got 40 thousand members. You want us to sign up next year? Bloody show us something! Show us the heart! Last year we gave you the excuse "we nearly won the flag but lost by a kick." We thought this year we'd go again. What's the excuse!? If you're not gonna play- I said it a few weeks ago- If you're not gonna play for the coach, play for people like myself! Who bust my balls every week to get there, hard earned money, and you dish that up against the 0-3 pies, at home!? They toyed with us. It's an embarrassment for the Blue, Maroon and Gold and especially the emblem. THE EMBLEM! Play for that! If you're not gonna play for that, piss off outta my club! GET OUT!

I mean you aren’t wrong but bar the Pies the other teams have a sample size of two games.
A week in the 2's is probably needed, he fumbled a couple each qtr iirc, including one that resulted in quick goal down the other end. I've been a defender of his in the past & applauded his improvement in set shots but he was just a liability tonight.

I promise you Bailey is not the answer to the midfield.
At the game you can see how they run through him every time he's in the centre. He got torn apart not matter which side of the square he was on and Crisp made him look ridiculous in the 4th.
Our midfield lapses directly correlate to our second tier players in the square and have done for some time.
It's left feild but again I would run Prior through there... We need size and strength that much is so obvious at the ground.
It's time for serious change.
