Again.You don't want to be critical of a bloke in his 300th, but, sheesh, his 2nd qtr fadeout... just when leadership is needed from experienced heads - ditto Levi.This is where a coaching move is needed - get more intensity around the ball. Nothing to lose, put Stocker in the midfield.Only 6...lol. Quote Selected

Just watched our guys standing off the contest watching Port make the play. We seem incapable of switching into a full defensive mode, the old tempo footy, to weather a storm and just frustrate the opposition.It’s the same old same old cookie. When they got on top we were second to every contest and were completely outnumbered when the ball was in dispute. We let them thru the corridor too. Surely by now the coaching group had some answer to when these runs of goals occur but nope. Quote Selected

That’s the difference the folks. Or we could just keep finding excuses. Year after year after year.🤣🤣 Quote Selected

Yes there was a few questionable one but as lethal used to say you can’t control them but the fact they controlled the second half of that quarter was not because of a few 50/50 frees that went against us. If you look hard enough for excuses you will also find em. You are right, you can't control them......but they can control the game.The game is taken out of Teagues hands.11-5 at half time.Commentators have said at least 3 frees they got shots on goal from were not there.Thats the margin.And at the other end, we didn't get some they would've got.Then we're in front again and with momentum.Its not rocket science.I expect to lose this game by 10 goals.....and thats with fair umpiring, so i'm not surprised at the result thus far. I think its fair reflection of the strengths (or lack of) of the 2 sides. The umpires are going to turn it into a 15 goal game! Quote Selected 1 Likes

Our players aren't fussy which coach they "treat" badly. His mate Bolton will soon tell him, and likely talk him out of it. Anyway, his mate Bevo gave it away before their game today that he is likely going overseas next year. Quote Selected

None!!! You can argue about umpires and injuries but not the run ons. Quote Selected

Our best effort was giving up 7 in a row in a qtr against a side with 16 men. Quote Selected
