Ready for tomorrow. Again, I won't be at this one: I can't afford to take time off work. I won't even get to see that start.
Please shout for me.
Fantasia in the clear - misses target
We’re no where near it
Commentary summed that up brilliantly. :-[
Then on the return kick he could've redeemed himself and short-armed it.
Then to top it off, just jogged toward the player running off with the ball.
Pathetic
We’ve always been a team full of puss-ies
The umpire has to blow the whistle, call the ball back and throw it up.
They can't get a goal out an umpire mistake.
8 turnovers already. Fantasia has one of them.
How do you get a 2m beanpole alone at the top of the goal square?
Fantasia will be lucky to get 8 possessions for the game that find a teammate.
Don't know why you defend him so much.
After all the recent rubbish, players and coaches are mentally and emotionally shot.
Because he has speed and is one of our better users.
He had time and space and kicked it straight to the opposition. Being 'one of our better ball users' must've escaped him there.
Even that goal he just kicked, did you see his ball drop? He let go at chest height and just threw his leg at it. Could've gone anywhere, this time it paid off, but i wouldn't be betting he could do that again.
Certainly looks that way. Williams’ intercepted handball was a p!ssweak effort - rocked back on his heels at the prospect of body on body.
Haynes our best. Loved the way he gave it back to Cameron.
Umpire screwed us there.
1. "No 15m"
2. had no prior, and was trying to get rid of it.
3. Actually got rid of it.
"Holding the ball"
FMD
Looks like Moir is actually being played as a FF type....and i like it.
He's a difficult matchup.
Good in the air against smalls.
Good on the ground against talls.
Have we got the d-grade umpires tonight?
So many poor decisions tonight, and we still have 8 minutes in the 1st quarter.
Motlop wtf go sideways
Should've.
But the bloke on the mark moved and should've been 50 but umps are not paying that tonight. Reckon i've seen it 5 times already.
Williams showing againt why there is daylight after him as a small forward.
Carroll needed to better.
Boys are showing some fight. Hope it continues.
Is umpire Bennell out there?
3 easy missed goals - costly
McGovern 5 disposals, 3 turnovers. Cost us 2 goals.
Like I said, one step fix, kick more goals than behinds and OOBOTF
Whilst I accept it’s probably the sign of a quitter, if there was a mercy rule, I would invoke it and forfeit the rest of the season, and focus on getting our house in order.
FMD Pittonet!
All bet both my balls the prick has never kicked a torp in his life.
About time we got a score from a free the other mob have sucked the sauce bottle dry
Umpiring wtf
Meanwhile Pitto lines up on 1/4 time and those idiots Cornes and BT are talking about some
Young female employee of Brisbane named Jess 😤 WTF!
What a goal tho!
Curnow playing great, the young ones putting in but don’t quite have the speed to match.
Very proud of that quarter 👏🏽
Ahhh, that’s great to see! The Eric Bana lookalike puts a smile on my face for the first time in months.
Pittttttttt!!! in a year that has been crap that made me very happy. great goal big fella.
I enjoyed seeing the players really get around Pittonet.
Can't wait to see Brad Scott's next interview after that umpire contact.
We'll see that one on highlight packages for the next couple decades.
Yet again, we can't find the inside 50 target kick.
Cue the Benny Hill music for this week....
What happened on the goal line then was comical
Pittonet dominating.
Stepping up knowing TDK is out the door.
I keep saying we need Motlop in the guts more....that is exactly why
Charlie "Momentum killer" Curnow, misses again.
His last 9 scoring shots have all been behind.
I reckon there is at least a couple more that have missed everything as well.
Curnow misses killing us
Dodgy 15m
Dodgy 50, but about time something goes our way.
Still terrible umpiring....twice.
Fantasia 9 touches. 49 supercoach.
That was disgraceful from Zac Williams. Like a child.
O'Farrell has to be persisted with, just needs a little more meat on his body so he can compete with the more mature players in the game.
Carroll will get better, does make a few errors due to his lack of games at this level but always looks rather composed.
The jury is still out on Moir, has done some good things but missed a set shot from 15m out.
McGovern & Williams are liabilities with their rubbish decisions and rubbish disposal.
We can't have this many players who can't kick.
Motlop played on....and wasn't called.
But the bloke on the mark moved.....and wasn't called.
Its either play on or a free kick. Can't be neither.
Who's standing Zorko ?
It was play on. He has a low football IQ.
Carroll really struggling.
There it was again, Carroll's lack of awareness cost us a goal.
It's this sort of simple stuff across the field that has killed us all year.
He has to play on Cameron because McG couldn't
Good to see Pittonet having a serious crack, TDK is merely phoning it in every week now.
Motlop, I don't understand what the list people see in this guy, master of the brain-fade.
At least the boys are having a crack.
Clearly not at the same class level as the lions.....but....they are at least giving a stuff
Cant be stuffed anymore doing this anymore but the 1st half

THE ABOVE IS NOT COACHING
We had a crack last week too.
If we had Silvagni, Newman, Walsh. McKay, Harry, Cottrell and the other Hollands we would be top 6.
Sub Carroll now, 30 pts down at 1/2 time, double it by FT
I would be letting him go at year end.
Tough calls need to be made
seriously and you defend motlop.
Fantasia has been good.
Fantasia can take the exit door with Motlop
Fantasia actually got the quick handball out that led to Pitt's second goal.
Fantasia is playing on the wing too.
His issue is reliability not capability. The others suffer from extraction of digit issues
Motlop seems to be better in the midfield than a small forward - maybe we need to recruit a small forward? He was not confident to take that kick and sure enough he missed it.
I am really proud of them they have given it a massive crack! TDK has been pointless I hope he’s dropped next week he is so checked out. Charlie was great in the first but nothing in the second, McG from day one has not been reliable and still ain’t.
feeling for the youngsters, HOF has made a few errors but working thru, Flynn as well, Carroll x 2 oh boy really felt for him with those 2xHTB. Hopefully he is not subbed as that will not do his confidence any favours. Flynn was caught a few times but persisting. Moir needs to be put in the action.
Why ?
What does that achieve ?
Both he and HOF are a bit off the pace but they’re out there having a crack, back them, support them and teach them.
Yes, but if has to chase someone or try and break a tackle, he can't.
He is a receive and quick release player only
The ch 7 commentary team and coverage and telecast has been as putrid as the umpiring.
Yes, I agree. The media love to talk about the crisis at Carlton, the crisis at AFL HQ etc. Maybe they should examine their own crisis and lift their own standards first. Just rubbish dialogue about food and other off topic s h i t.
I know we've had this discussion, but if you don't like it turn it off and pay for quality commentary/coverage.
Its the only was Ch7 will get the message.
We have Kayo, don’t you get the same commentary and telecast as it comes from 7?
Not any more, Fox have their own commentators at every game
From this year its exclusive fox commentators.
Previously, you did get the Ch 7 coverage.
just cant stick a tackle to save ourself. effort is better this week just the skills and decision making let us down and decent teams punish.
Doc has lost that yard of pace. Hard call needs to be made on him at year end.
We're fighting hard though..
Staging much? 2nd time I have seen a player play dead in 3 weeks.
He can't pick the ball up.
Motlop streaming out of the guts finds a player inside 50.
Nobody else on our team can do this and i can't understand why.
Too many blokes I've barely heard.... can't get into the play, can't run to position, can't (or won't) lay a tackle. A lot of passengers.
Floodgates have opened
Fantasia injured lol.
Add McGovern to the delist list
Where have i heard that before......
Hopefully last time we see him in navy blue.
He went for a bit of a run along the boundary and did his hammy...
Moir is taking the p1ss... Plays like he doesn't give a F...de-list.
Embarrassing from Cripps.
Always trying to do too much and hurts us in doing so.
Imagine Fantasia did that.
All the small forwards can F off. Fogarty - de-list.
Yep, add Fogarty to the list...
he cant he pinged his hammy for the 32nd time
I don't care who does it.
I've been calling cripps out for that for years for the same thing....even back to the Bolton days.
1st option. Take it.
Normally its a calf.....he is mixing it up
they can all F off if you want to be really honest.
they are all frauds.
so over this club.
Terrible umpiring taking that off Cameron.
We need that in the game.
Goodbye Fog and Fanta, thanks for the fish.
only pit can hold his head up.
Spirit is gone and so is voss and if they are serious a massive clean out…… yet again.
Fogarty has been so disappointing - I cannot believe he missed that…. But actually I can.
Like every time we kick out of our f50
I know it’ll fly right back in.
The reason we were still going ok is that Cripps was being super man, of course that has now ended coz he cannot do it all.
The amount of standing around and watching the ball does my head in! Tackle FFS!
And that has worked everytime for us?
Disagree - there is spirit just not enough skill on who we have to pick from. Saw some really great spirit in the first half but run out of puff and the usuals stuffing it up again - mcG - I don’t understand him. TDK has basically been a pointless number on the ground. Durds has lost the plot.
Cowan is rusty. Carroll needs every game from here on in.
HOF really has some talent.
How can you watch this and the blame the small forwards?
Our midfield has been outplayed again.
Our defence can't defend or rebound clean.
Another large scotch to face the last qrtr methinks.
Serious? There have been three missed opportunities right in front of goal 20-30m out!
Even our marketing department isnt going well.
3/4 time Kona karaoke and its a song from the Lion king.
Pick your songs a little more intelligently please.
Any club but against the reigning premiers Brisbane lions.
I just cant wait to be king...
Moir has been more involved when he's been given a run on the ball in the VFL
Give that a go.
I'm not blaming simply them, but its pretty clear that if you play a position that doesn't allow you to gather a large amount of possessions, you make the most of them.
They have just about all had shots on goal, and very few have even looked like going through the big sticks.
Motlop, Moir and Fogarty have combined for 0.5
They cycle through the same group of songs.......they clearly do the 'hard work' well in advance *facepalm*
Durdin, Fantasia and Williams have kicked 3 of 7.
Pittonet has kicked 2 of 7....and he's only had 5 possessions
All of them are on a sack list lol
Who’s our tackling coach?
Needs to be marched out tomorrow please
Has anyone else noticed or maybe our sound is out - that the umpire calls generally for free kicks are sooooooo delayed?
Kayo?
Can happen sometimes.
We had a string of about 7 disposals from back line to up to half forward.
Only 1, from Moir, hit a target anywhere near where they should've.
Some were behind the player who had to stop and go back. Some where at the feet. Some over the head. Some bounced first. Almost all were under zero pressure.
Unacceptable.
They were goal less in the last, we were goal less in the 3rd. We wont a qtr, yay
yep!!!! i thought exactly the same thing while watching that play. just happen to be focasing on our skills and even when we hit a target its not clean its either high or low.
we are seriously crap.
3 of the last 4 weeks we have held the opposition goalless or nearly goalless the last qtr. Last week the Pies got one, in the last minute of the game.
We are the 4th qtr specialists...lol.
It's why all three should be shown the door.
I hope they persist with Moir in the seniors for the rest of the year so we all know whether he actually has it or not, however, I lost a fair bit of faith tonite.
A very apt description of our current abilities I’m afraid. And so to bed….
They found space so easily, we were witches hats alot of the time.
Time to pass pour frustration to the post game thread. There is certainly enough frustration to go around. :(
