Weitering.  Stop trying to do it all yourself and start holding the backline in position.

He has no choice, we are being slaughtered up the ground, if he stays in D50 they'll get a hundred shots inside 50m.

I just cant get over how this bottom 4 team is fav to beat us when we are playing for a finals spot in a year we all hoped we could have a chance in winning it.

A loss today (which is what I'm expecting to be honest) is so disappointing for all the long suffering blue fans. We have been so bad for so long and i would love us to make a statement today to prove they are not in our class but i cant see it. 
🤣
Let’s go BIG !

nope.  He's leaving his man to chase someone who's already clear.  That's leaving a certain uncontested mark to put pressure on a contest he had a stuff all chance of winning because he doesn't trust his teamates.  He's the reason we can't use any of the other talls.  Too busy finger pointing rather than leading.

Nah, you are focussing on effect and not the cause, the effect you are seeing is a D50 that can't stop 100% of entries, it's unrealistic to expect it.

The cause is when blokes give the hot potato or grub a 15m kick to someone surrounded by 2 or 3 opponents and then don't chase when it is inevitably turned over, that's game over.

The cause happens repeatedly, and the D50 can't stop them all, there are just too many repeats of the same old same old.

Weitering is too selfish, not a team player. Darcy Moore is so much better than him.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

No, that's called getting sucked in.

I was a defender in soccer.  I led the backline.  I was sitting behind the goals.  He takes off from a 2 on 1 against leaving two players because he isn't communicating with his mates, because he doesn't trust them.  Young was the problem.  Mcgovern is the problem.  Newman is the problem.  Kemp is the problem.  At one point he was up the ground near the halfway line leaving chol with Kemp in the second quarter.   Players are sacrificing their position to take weiters up the ground leaving Kemp one out undersized.  It's been happening since the giants game. 

You're welcome to disagree but I know what I'm seeing and it's a player pulling his own defense out of shape because he's too worried about too much and not delegating.

You can thank the AFL for the hot potato.  Since that rule interpretation mid year we have lost our one wood.

MacGovern has been a problem for a long time.

Delivered very little. Given very little back.  Taken a lot of coin. Always injured or seemingly playing with a injury.    If we had an options I'd show this pest the door.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Those poor disposals I refer to involve zero physical contact, it's got nothing to do with the rule change.

Most clubs at the pointy end of the ladder have 2 , 3 or even 4 KPDs at the top and of the intercept marks count, Weitering is our only player in the top 30, Kemp is at 33 and McGovern is at 53!

Think about that in context of our squad and it's strengths, you know our big bodied team, how can it be a team with our size barely rates on IMs outside of Weitering, and the only bloke making intercepts you want to pot!

There is a reason Owies stood out today, because what he tried to do you just don't see from our blokes!
