Backlines you say? Gov, Barrass, Hurn...

We played Edwards for just his second game and Rotham who's good but not really a KPP at FB and CHB.

Compare the forward lines. It is 100x easier to defend against our forward line with no defenders than it is to defend against yours.

 

[jod23]

God you waffle on Jod. Even fully fit you're an also ran this year.
McGovern and Hurn just guard grass anyway.

******* lol.

Our midfield is very under strength. You needed to dominate midfield to take advantage of that but Kelly, Gaff and Sheed has a field day.

 

[Bradesmaen]

this, the real story is our crap the midfield has been, but we’re missing a backline (Pearce/Hamling/Ryan/Hughes for most of the game)

Hughes is a bog average player. Honestly shouldn't be on the list let alone getting a game.

Finally someone that agrees with me.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

******* lol.

Not sure what's hard to grasp. Even fully fit you aren't a top 4 side this year, and even we in the 5-8 bracket would beat you.
Left last week utterly unimpressed with the eagles. Soft and overrated.

Jon Ralph saying Bucks in line for a new contract at Collingwood

So he'll be fired within the next 2 weeks?

We were poor last week. You can judge us on that one performance all you like mate, it's no skin off my nose. Top four will be tough, we're probably in the same boat as Geelong, making up the numbers in the finals.

Also depends where? You always beat us in Geelong but come to Optus and see how you get on

Harry McKay has the potential to be the next 100 goal season kicker if Carlton can provide him with a better midfield to support him.

One thing is for sure, we are far more competitive at Optus than you are in Geelong. We at least make a game of it

I’m not saying you lot didn’t have an injury impacted backline but our forward line is s**t which limited the damage. meanwhile we had an injury impacted backline and your forwards continue to be one of the better forward groups in the comp, which when your mids started dominating (thought sheed was best on, he was in everything when you started to pull away) made it a very easy job for them

 

[Bradesmaen]

Longmuir saying we're still in a development phase... how ******* long for? This wasn't a young side, only 6 were under 23 years of age. Just get good.

It will be until the dumb campaigners learn how to kick.

Least you have Perth Glory to bring you Silverwear.

Oh wait ..

You put far too much stock in one game.

Saints?

 

[jod23]

Saints?

We should habe won that game. Just couldnt stop the momentum when they got on top in the second half. Vastly different to our effort against the Cats which was embarrassing.

[glenferry23]

Complete with the sound effects, that’s outstanding

Oh OK, nothing embarrassing by the second half effort against the Saints.

Think you misread me. You mentioned us in Perth. Recent matches would suggest we’re more competitive there than you are here.

But it is digressing from the original point that it is lame as * for you two weeks in a row to list the blokes you’re missing. Newsflash everyone has injuries. A couple of mids and a couple sag off defenders out. Cool stuff.

It’s so scary to think he is out of contract at the end of the year. Of course the club are working on his contract but until it is signed, there will always be that doubt that he could be swayed by a bigger money move elsewhere. He is putting together a very good year.

Luke Parks is like this breath of fresh air. He really wants it and plays with so much intensity. Really pleased we have him.

Mckay is worth more than Cripps imo
