Did well for 3 quarters. Looked like we ran out of legs for mine - not much to give in the contest, not much to give in running pattens, tackling etc.

They are clearly a superior team, and 7-1 for a good reason.

i wonder if these 3/4 goals losses are becoming habitual.

One thing I didn't like was 9 goals out of 12 kicked by 2 blokes, one of which has one foot in the grave. I'd like to see a greater spread than that. I hope Teague isn't playing the superstar reliance card.

Same as the 2 games against the Pies and GWS last year when it really mattered. Great for 3/4s, 5hit the bed in the last.....again! 4pts pissed down the drain again!

Heart problem?

SOJ off
SPS on

Bulldogs on
Carlton off

Coincidence?

Yep.
Silvagni had probably his worst game for the year.
He was pretty ineffectual.

Is it just me or is the body language of Cripps similar to a guy keeping a secret from his mates and it’s weighing heavily on his mind?  Either that or he is injured. Take your pick.

If its goal and goal more or less and you lose, cest la vie. But the 30 point turnarounds (unanswered) is  completely unacceptable no matter who we are playing.

There was an article during the week that said our problem was we had too many midfielders.

I'd like to see what they think about that now.

We lost centre clearances at one stage in the 2nd half 15-1.

That is where we lost the game.

We couldn't stop Bont and we couldn't get the ball out of the centre.

Pit is NOT and AFL standard ruckman. Not even close. He was beaten by a second gamer and was still unable to give our midfield any clear takeaways. HTF are we slaughtered in clearances with a 2nd gamer rucking. Can you imagine what Gawn will do to this bloke next week. Just shows you how far off it we are development wise when a 2nd gamer can come in and have an impact. Same with their first gamer he showed straight off that he had been developed. We are still a fair bit off it.

And don’t let me start on Cripps and Williams. Ffs I’m so sick of both of these blokes. Over paid over rated. Sick of excuses. If Cripps wants to go home good get a decent deal and catch ya later.  He needs to be dropped but won’t be. Kane Cornes is 110% right - he is not an elite midfielder had a few good years but is not damaging at all and gets burnt on the outside time and time again. Paying this bloke a cent more then 600k a year would be laughable.
Switch jumpers with Bont and Cripps today and we win by 6 goals.
