I liked the look of Fisher - looks an absolute natural. And happy the boys fought back at the end there too.

Same old passengers in this team allowed to play AFL football though and that's the most disappointing thing about the first 4 games of this season.

We're 1 or maybe even 2 midfielders down in this team. Not as in quality, simply numbers on match day.

Our half forward line is too slow and gets destroyed by speedy half backs which every team appears to have now.
Bang on. how daisy and white play over boekhorst and cunningham. Can anyone give an update on boeky. I always thought he looked the goods when he is in.
 
Run out of legs in the 3rd.

Fish was great. Sos good. Too many slow players. Should have played Pickett on hall as a defensive fwd.

Need polson and cunners in next week.

Keep rowe forward and jw back. Prefer him getting 20 touches at full back. Need him and marchy to sort out defensive chemistry.

Daisy and white out please. Enough is enough. KJ for one last month to prove himself.

Ins cunners, Polson, kj

Outs daisy, white and macreadie (if injured only)

Crippa looks like he needs a week off too. Nowhere near 50%

I honestly can't figure out what roles Thomas and White had tonight. One tried but still below average and the other was missing for most of the game.
 
Last week had a say in that third quarter. They looked stuffed. That quarter was the difference and our early misses for goal didn't help much either.

Still there's plenty of positives. Fisher is all class. Williamson was excellent again. Charlie played well apart from the misses. Silvagni was excellent and Levi kicked straight (mostly).

But if Cripps is off the pace and Murphy and Gibbs go missing for a quarter we can't win. Simple as.

The difference was one bad quarter when you look at it. The 3rd killed us.

It is to be expected when I believe half the side has less than the 20 games of AFL football, there will be fade outs like that from quarter to quarter or game to game.

Fisher looks good, Pickett will get better week to week as he gets fitter and others looked ok.


Will be in Bali from Thursday, never been overseas before so will have to dind a place to get the Port game.
 
Happy with the effort and fight back. Fisher amazing. Our kicking for goal let us down, especially in the first half and GC barely missed. Cripps might need a rest.
Umpiring was pretty bad. Called play on about four times in a row against GC when they barely blinked. Wright mauled then the GC player just dropped the ball when tackled and shuffles it over the line. GC were getting away with barely 15m kicks all night and in the last quarter they kept calling play on for ours that were the same. Don't know if it was the same umpire but seemed out of his depth if it was. Very frustrating.
 
Outside of a 30 minute lapse that wasn't a bad effort. Of course we can't be and aren't content with lapses like that, but with our age profile it is likely to happen again.

Our midfield and midfield pressure was really poor. We know it is the next part of the list we need to fix.

Positive:
SOJ - 3 goals, always tries hard. Loves the club
Fisher - only one game, but we seem to have found another one.
Casboult - Isn't our future but a few more games like this and we might get a decent pick for him.
Pickett - getting better

Negatives:

Thomas - feel sorry for the guy but...
Midfield defensive pressure - non existant

Agree with Crippa needing a week off. Same with Weiters. Just didn't look right tonight.
 
Defenders too light on for the really big units in Wright and Lynch. If Rowe can't win his contest, we will struggle.

Doesn't help when their midfield had time and space all night to hit him lace out on the lead.

You don't think our goal kicking accuracy was a negative?
 
Out played, out coached.

Lots of our older players need to have a hard look at themselves.

Fisher great debut. Williamson good game.

Jack Silvagni you're a star stop being so unselfish!

Losing faith in the continual selection of has-been dud Thomas. Concerned match committee has NFI!

Sorry to flog a dead horse, but THOMAS.....Just THOMAS.

Fair bloody dinkum.

Can anybody explain to me why they persist with him?:mad:
 
Suns showing exactly what we don't have. HArd running, quick midfielders with a good, dominant forward. We have no link up mids. They had Martin, Hall and Ablett running all day, not to mention Saad's pace
Davey C and Cammy P might have something to say here...
 
I know our pressure wasn't great in the middle and they had good delivery but any chance any one of our defenders win a one on one... ffs. That was appalling, every one on one we lost.
I agree with this. while i agree that the upground pressure isnt always great its like people just assume defenders arent allowed to half the occasional contest. I feel all of defenders except for rowe are great peel off and intercept players but not great "defenders".
