Charlie has come up against the Geel, Melb and Bris defences, 3 of the best in the comp. Next week will also be a challenge.

Yes, I think that would certainly be a factor. But it seems more than just the opposition IMO.

  Poorer Delivery and less I50s hasn't helped Charlie.
Petty is an underated defender too, does a lot of the tough work on players like Charlie so May and Lever can do the pretty intercept stuff...

Yes, that's part of the problem IMO.

I still think Charlie's getting opportunities...it's just he's been a bit fumbly, not following up on some of the contests and reluctant to bend for the ground balls...an injury of sorts perhaps.

Nothing like a heartbreaking loss to bring out all the classless individuals
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

When the defenders know what they are doing, they make young fwds go to the wrong spots and the mids dont get the looks they get at training.

Yes, it's possible.

Yes but just pause for a moment or two and think of our side with Grundy as the no 1 ruck.

Yes. Apparently the Pies are willing to pay 300k of his salary a year. Think we need to think seriously about it.

I heard somewhere the whole salary needs to taken over or nothing. I heard if they do a part salary dump like Trelor, there will be a riot.

I both read 5 min ago and saw on the new 2 days ago that they are willing to pay 300k. Doesn't mean it's right, just what I saw. Doubt our cap could take his full salary.

He would be awesome for our side.

I think it is very much a case of caveat emptor..he seems a different kind of cat and I'm not convinced that footy is, or will stay,  his 100% focus.    It's a very long,  very big coin contract.

Alex Mirkov still 22 years old - Oscar McInerney who was also a rookie is 28 and started to get his game together 2-3 years ago,

210cm ruckman don't grow on trees just needs 2-3 big pre seasons.

TDK just turned 23 and hit alot of personal bests this year. Just need to give our current ruckmen room to grow. Pitto is an honest solid contributor and will need to be first ruck next couple of years just turned 26 and was very solid before his injuries.

Got smashed in the ruck, Gawn and Jackson monstered us all night.
Probably a credit to our mids we did so well as they had no support from Pittonet.
Jack was more value imho...
I get what you're saying about Pitto. Despite that we won the clearances I believe. With a very undermanned midfield.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Walsh, Curnow & Weitering were poor last nite, had they played better it may have been a different result.

However, this was the loss we needed to have.

None of the players were smiling and patting backs last nite, it hurt and for good reason.

This was our 'line in the sand' moment and the players now know the level of intensity you have to play at every week across a season if you want to win a premiership.

A handful of players really rose to the occassion, others were found wanting when it really mattered, it will all go towards the end of season reviews and list managment decisions.
