Ready for tomorrow. I'll be at the game tomorrow.
Game going for 1 minute.
Cuningham is done after landing awkwardly from a spoil.
Warm up Gibbo.
Gibbons officially subbed on.
Poor cunners can't take a break. Career best form.....gone. Looks like a knee, i'll say medial ligament, but could be worse.
McKay shoulder issue too. Fking we can’t take a trick.
Didn’t we need someone to lead at the ball carrier ?
Our one and only key forward for the day is Casboult.
We should kick the ball on the ground going inside 50 today because it will be land of the smalls.
A wide shot before showed Eddie, Murphy, Owies and Fogarty standing together and they were all the same height. Thats our forward line.
We don't have Charlie
We don't have Gov.
We don't have Jack
We don't even have Kennedy
We should've picked TDK!!!
Pittonet smart, earns a 50m and shot on goal.
Kicks it!

Which makes making and honoring leads even more important
Didn’t McKay look proppy !
Docherty near the bench knows there is 40 seconds left kicks it long to Steven May. Terrible leadership.
Red time experts at giving goals away
Think Stocker has got the job on Petracca?
Cripps was hot early then went forward when McKay was off then didn't touch the ball.
I really feel for Cuningham... just when he was beginning to head in the right direction. Bottom line is that, sadly, he may just be another glass man.
The pro D's commentary is very irritating.
Plowman -3 Supercoach lol

‘Looks like a knee’. How did you work that out? We all thought it was his finger. You must be a doctor.
Owies crapped himself.

When i wrote that it was before it was even picked up by the commentary smart ar$e....and i specified further what i thought it was, as in medial ligament.
Go pick on Pittonet.....have you rewatched the first bounce yet? lol
Ease up guys we're all friends
Was wrong about Stocker. Looks like he's playing as a small forward?
D's trying to finesse is keeping us in the game! Sorry, but we may well be in for a hiding today. Trying hard, but just terribly undermanned.
OMG LEVI kicks a goal
All this critiquing of Cripps must have worked.
In other games he would've wheeled around and snapped a shot on goal that would've gone into orbit before sneaking through for a behind.
This time, he chose to give it off by hand to Docherty who hit Casboult lace out. A goal results.
THATS what we need from Cripps, bring your teammates into it!
Harry was holding his should before he hit the ground. He can't raise it. He is done.
Sit him in the goal square and be done with it.
Supercoach
Plowman 9
Jones 3
Dumb and Dumber
McKay injured and a liability out there...

Get him off.
Would be nice to see the free kick count… they are getting Every 50/50
16-15 doesn’t feel like it at all
That's the first time this year Dees have won q1!
Just to top off our luck we've 2 injuries already and they have just warmed up. If we go our signature late fade out, we're in for a long painful day.
But hey.... Go Blues
Harry injured but STILL contesting. Great stuff
KE 53% 😶 words fail me
Well done, H... playing through the pain...
Murphy weak as piss
Another red time goal. What was Pitt thinking
I heard Hardwick say after last nights game. "We are a systems team".
Can someone tell me what our system is? What is it when going into the forward line? We score goals by fluke, not by any planned systematic entry.
Early prediction. We are going to ultimately get smashed, after having put up a reasonable effort which iswhat we do well. We don't win, we just put up a reasonable effort.
We lack skills, we lack guts. Owies is a prime example. Owies should have picked the ball up in the goal square. But he was worried about getting hit. So looked up at what was coming, not the ball. Will never make it with that attitude.
Look, I could go on, but just like this season, it's a waste of time.
We have team full of spuds. Plowman, Casboult, Gibbons,Murphy done, you don't make finals with blokes like them in your team let alone win a flag. Fogarty can't kick more than 40 metres. Parkes is young and tries hard. Will he make it? Will Cottrell?
Walsh, Cripps if he's fit and stays, Mackay, Charlie Curnow if he can get right, Stocker, TDK and one or two others, are the nucleus of a team.
So, what should we do? We sack every coach, and I mean every coach. We get a whole new set in. We get a Ross Lyon, who has learnt more out of the game than in it, or Clarkson who is done at Hawthorn and needs a new challenge.
Our other problem is that we can't get big name players because we are at 105% of our salary cap.
Whoever we get is going to find things hard because I reckon with our list we are still a couple of years away.
In the meantime, Teague will utter the usual platitudes, and say " we have to get better".
And he's right, but it aint going to happen under him.
Owies limping now.
I’m going to spec savers in the morning.
I thought I just saw Pitt tap the ball to Cripps at a centre bounce.

Someones going to look silly if we somehow come back and win this from here. :o ;)
Another red time goal. What was Pitt thinking
You can only think if you have a brain mate.
There's no doubting our endeavour.
I suspect the D's were being a little arrogant/finessing/undisciplined and likely to cop a rocket at half time.
But, we've hung in there... and that's something. Liked Stocker's goal but he's gotta clean up on his field kicking.
Someones going to look silly if we somehow come back and win this from here. :o ;)
I volunteer for that if we can get the win! 🤪
7 Injury update was enlightening. Cunningham did his knee and H has hurt his shoulder. Thanks 7

Yep, I like eggs.

They didn't pick up on Owies limping after he was gang tackled in the last minute. Helpful.

Me too!
C'mon Blues
Why are we always 2nd to the ball.
Backs trail their forwards.
Our forwards trail their backs.
Mids follow an opponent rather than the ball.
WATCH THE BALL AND GET IN FRONT OF YOUR OPPONENT.
Parks crapped himself. Tough guy tackling but not the other way.
Pathetic Plowman!!!

Yep.
I reckon he was called out of it......or at least for his sake i hope that.
Looked terrible.
Plowman brain fade again. Part of his game I know just dumb.
Pathetic Plowman!!!
Thats where the rules are f***ed.
IF Plowman grabbed him to stop playing on, and he dropped the ball. Its 50m.
If Plowman grabbed him and he held the ball, its 50-50 whether its called 50.
If Plowman does nothing, he can play on and have a shot on goal.
Not many options.

you can have 1000/1from me.
Harry is grimacing in pain. FFS take him off. How stupid are we.

completely agree. Just stupid decision to leave him on. All that can happen is that it gets worse.
We are done.

I think those odds are short with the torrential rain right now.

I won't answer that shawny 🤐😂
How many picks can we have in the mid season draft....
How many picks can we have in the mid season draft....
Depends on how many list spots / Long term injuries we have.
Marchbank - 1
Cuningham - 2 ?
Harry doing well with 1 arm.
No thanks to Curnow. lol
This typifies he dumb we are. Ed pushes Harry hard to celebrate his 3rd goal. I mean if there was any doubt.
Our defence is a comedy show.
Another plowman special
Another plowman special
Defenders who can't defend
Plowman
Newman
Docherty (post knee)
Saad can but we want him to be offensive
so MANY passengers.
Why was Murphy picked ditto Setterfield?
Honey and Kennedy both more deserving.

Yes, not just a nudge or a pat. It was a real shove, and Harry gave it to him.
As shameful as it is, we're on track for my game tip. Dees by 38.
Any idea how we can find just a hint of success at CFC in a quarter of a century?

Why is Williams not on that list?
9 touches, none of them memorable.

Newnes took the bullet for him.
Geez if I worked at 30% capacity, I'd get sacked.
Cripps is embarrassing himself.
So bad
Newnes took the bullet for him.
If there was a type of player we needed at the moment, Newnes is it.
Runs straight at the ball, loves contact. Never dies wondering.
Too many 'reactionary' players out there and not enough who try and make things happen.
Cripps is embarrassing himself.
Weekly occurrence at the moment.
Will now be kept at arms length with another 18-30 point loss with Melb easing up and we’ll say good effort with our injuries be patient etc blah blah blah
Turned it off
The entire football department is embarrassing itself and that's a yearly occurrence 😥
Owies shirked again. Twice today.
Why was Murphy picked ditto Setterfield?
Honey and Kennedy both more deserving.
It’s just shuffling the deck chairs. We’re sh1te.
We could have drafted Pickett but traded back in the draft and selected Kemp.

Kemp hasn't been fit yet. Give him a chance at least.
Why are they reviewing this when Pickett said it was touched!?
Kozzy does a Gilchrist. Good character.
4 goals in 7 minutes?
1000/1 odds? ;)
Melbourne are legit. I know the opposition is not much today, but they have genuine pace, toughness, system, great defence, great midfield, and Brown, McDonald, Kozzy, Fritsch etc. is an extremely handy forward line.
They're just doing the party tricks with us now

They've done zip today.
We've just been extremely, extremely poor.

Come on flyboy. They have taken on all comers and won. They have all the bases covered IMO.
Lost at the selection table.

No doubt Gibbons, Levi and Setterfield did enough to retain their spots for next week.

Levi might have to play if Harry doesn't get up.
Anyone who is 196 or taller, and not injured plays.
So, Weitering, Jones, Pittonet, TDK, Casboult are the only players who fit that bill....if Harry doesn't come up.
Miserable ....
Saad next to nothing, Cripps less, Murphy almost unsighted, Owies and Parks precious little, Setterfield useless, Fogarty poor ....
And yet all that against a 9 - 0 team that doesn't do much for me and I don't rate yet.
