Last post by Gointocarlton -Well he can't defend and should not be in our backline.Been tried in the midfield and that was a disaster.

Well we should give a 3rd pick + Williams + 30% of salary to whoever wants to take him.Ill second that, problem is no one will take him.
Enough is enough.
He was well beaten tonight.Really? I didn't think so.
Docherty is a cool head in the heat of battle and I think we saw Pendlebury provide that for Collingwood and the goal he kicked was massive under real pressure. JSOS gives you options and you know you will get a contest from him..We badly miss Docherty. He is a steadying influence and he does the clutch things that win and save games.
Well we should give a 3rd pick + Williams + 30% of salary to whoever wants to take him.Williams disappointed tonight. He hasn't got his form back yet. maybe he needs some time in the 2's to get confidence in attacking the ball.
Enough is enough.
Pies' system of ball movement, defensive plan and set up is far superior to ours. They were the better team, quite clearly so I'm afraidThere system and their attack on the ball was incredible tonight. last year, we were the hunters and it made a difference. This year they were hunting us and they worked out ways of making our mids ineffective.
Our midfield is slow, our release and spread horrible and defence has broken down completely. Other than Weeters, our backs aren't winning or halving contests consistently. Our small forwards -2 of three anyway - were $$@ing useless. And they're slow and apply no pressure. Fantasia is a joke.
Lack of run - Pitto couldnt take a mark to save his life.When Pitto was in the ruck, he had the better of the Collingwood talls and he provided most of our clearances. he didn't do a lot around the ground, but he didn't let the Collingwood rucks do much either.
We didnt lose the game because of Young I can assure you of that he cleaned up both Cox and Cameron.Young had some good patches, especially early. In the last quarter he made some crucial mistakes and let Collingwood in. He doesn't seem to have a very cool head: he panics.
