Miller is no good. Has been on the list for 5 years and played 5 games. He would have played more if he was any good. Has been overtaken at a rapid rate by a first year skinny defender. Not a good sign.

Nah, Colonwood played them into form just in time to play us after they have been absolute crap all year.
Many of every sides draft selections are duds, most even, including ours. Thats a fact.
They were all there. They were unrealistic. He does it too often, going early and missing the ball. He simply can’t jump anymore.
One of the great tigers, I hope he doesn’t ask to play on next year.
One was there. I hate how the rule has evolved. If there is any chance the mark could have been taken, play on, hence the word 'unrealistic'. And they pick and choose who they pay it against and when. Jeremy Howe should be paid UA against everytime he drops a mark using the way they enforce it on Jack. Every speccy is unrealistic, thats why they're speccys and make us go wow, .thats the whole point.
I agree with the last sentence though. Been good this year but next will be one too many.
Mabs did exactly the same thing in the last qtr but no free.
We need Jack to play next year. One for leadership and second because we have no key forwards in the wings
Will give you some detailed replies tomorrow. Too late now; just been on PRE catching up with the GD thread while watching the women's tennis final.
[Ha Ha. A Russian still won!!]
He missed it because he is one of the most unco footballers ever to grace an AFL field - and I said it a long, long time ago - let alone become a 3 x premiership player, mainly due to the good fortune to be selected by a club led by several champions who created a golden era that he was a useful part of, initially. But the skill weaknesses in kicking, composure, even his HBs are often shocking and he has a prodigious ability to stuff up dozens of goal-scoring opportunities like his famous 0.5 in the '19 GF win. (think how lucky it was that it never mattered).
What he did here was take too many steps, run too far- rather than kicking it earlier or HBing it to Cumberland - allowing a GC defender to get within range of a smother. His game awareness is just terrible and his goal-kicking has again gone backwards after some improvement over 2021. He seems quite confused about what to do with a goal shot - line up straight for a drop punt or hook-kick? From what position? Where to stand? How close to go to the man on the mark? How can such an experienced/credentialed player still be so unprofessional about his techniques and processes? Why start the kick with your back turned?
I have rarely seen a player who has the capacity to make the errors he does. It is actually comical ... if it didn't hurt the team so much, so often.
Some questioning Millers' game, the guy has played 5 games and thought he did ok.
9 disposals, 6 intercept possessions, 240 meters gained, 3 marks and went at 100% DE
Keep Miller back and Gibcus to go forward. If Balta is ready he plays 2nd ruck/forward rotating. Not sure about Soldo but if he is out with his thumb then need to bring in Samson Ryan as 1st ruck.

Very well put Leon.
To put in context how bad he has become and how bad he was tonight, if he had managed 0.5 from his 5 goal attempts (instead of 0.2) we win by a point.
Just who is the goal kicking coach at Richmond - how do they allow him to have the ridiculous set shot routines that he has?
He kicks for goal like a golfer with the yips lining up a two footer!
Collingwood kicked 3 in 8 mins to beat them last week.
Collingwood kick 5 in the last qtr and beat North.
I'm pretty sure Howe/Grimes, Sidebottom/Edwards and Penderbury/Reiwoldt are older or the same age.
We look fked in last qtrs, we look like we 40 not 30.

Pre match concerns realised. Miller, Anderson & Rowell overran us.
All massive in the last term & our midfield was soundly beaten.
Admitedly the late Nank injury didn't help.

I thought as a professional outfit we were past losses like this. Even with all of the things that went wrong - the George miss, the Short 50, the other clangers...the thing that annoyed me more was that when we were 10 points up with a game to save and only a few minutes left, we were still rushing forward. Even our experienced players showed no game awareness and tried to protect the lead. Surely we should have learnt this from past debacles.
After watching the replay, the ball comes off Castagna's boot so poorly that even if it wasn't smothered there has to be doubt as to whether it would have even been a goal anyway.
What a spud.
When Ross was a late out we were too weak. Add in the Lynch injury gave Dow a game. Missing shots at goal. A close win would have glossed over our weaknesses. I was at the ground but low down so I didn't have a great view. Movement of the ball into the fwd line was appalling. Jack vs 3 most times or Castagna fluffing in front of goal. The 50 against short was a mystery. Did he badmouth the ump? Anyhow Cumberland and Miller not bad. Dow I didn't notice...Sampson Ryan in no tarrant is playing with a broken finger maybe soldo can too.
Did not sleep well last night after that devastating loss.
Apart from the many injuries there were other factors that cost us the win.
Short giving that 50 metre penalty turned the game around.
Castagna running into an open goal and messed it up with the opposition spoil.
Selection was another factor.
No idea who could have been selected instead of Aarts and Miller.
Can't get over a 7 goal lead and then losing.
Did my head in.
North will most likely go into the game next week favourites and rightly so.
The big question is who will we have available next week?
Huge injury list
Our midfield continues to be our issues. We just don’t have the depth.
