We were panic merchants, basically giving them 4 goals in the last half with very basic skill errors.

CheatsFC by a few points, a 40+ point turnaround.

Not just the kids....😒

Whilst I do believe your VFL and AFL teams have to both be strong to win flags, Ill almost cop the twos losing If I see something from the "kids". Forget the older blokes in the 2s, the likes for Marchbank and Young are finished. Its the likes of Wilson, Moir, Lemmey, Binns dont stack up against "kids" I see playing for other teams. Lets be honest, Binns is potentially an emergency tonight because he's the best of a very ordinary lot. Motlop seemed disinterested in the bits of the 3rd and 4th qtrs I saw.

Missed the run and linking up of Binns in the 2nd half?

Mirkov was very ordinary after half time and I thought Young was better value in the ruck, cant see him staying on the list. Woeful kicking error in the last quarter too. Our midfield stocks in the VFL are very ordinary and we dont have much to work with and Carroll was missed as was Binns when he was taken off to be an emergency for the senior game.
A player who impressed me other than the obvious like McMahon was Lewis down back...seen him a couple of times now and he makes good decisions and is very safe with what he does.
Moir was terrible, Motlop started well but faded, Marchbank did some ok things at times but also was exposed by Nate Caddy who kicked three on him and I cant see a future for Marchbank in the seniors.

Our deepest sympathy to you... don't make eye contact with any of them... and don't trip on any syringes on the train floor.

Can anyone help me understand why a 12 foot tall bloke chooses to try and grapple his opponent ?

Mirkov spends most of his time looking at the opposition ruck at centre bounces.

Lack of confidence....like to see Mirkov get angry for once, crash some bodies and impose himself. One of the commentators described him as a "telegraph pole" who telegraphed where he was going to kick the ball and had it picked off.
You couldnt pick him at senior level even as a fill in....
