Player going for the ball, or with the ball, is crucified. What's happened to our game?
Its completely changed how the players "attack on the ball" is now considered, never have I seen so many players "pull up" when there's a 50/50 ball to be won in today's game, one of the great qualities of the game now gone forever unfortunately.

Such a disappointing loss. I really did think we could beat the Crows.
Time for Dimma, the coaches and the MC to do some serious, hard talking/questioning of where the team is at.
Because to continue to serve up the sort of twaddle that we have for the past 12 months is just not gonna get us another premiership.
 
Why the hell are we sagging back when we need to score. This is pathetic coaching.

Disappointing but not unexpected result against a clear bottom 8 team. We are now and average team an average teams throw up performances like this. Inconsistency.

Would not surprise me at all if we take it right up to Melbourne next week. But it does seem we can no longer maintain the effort and intensity required week in week out.

Lost at selection. Totally reshaped the backline. Gibcus out, Vlastuin in sounds one change but it shuffled everything.

Backline has been working really well. I’ll say it , Vlastuin should’ve come back via the VFL, Gibcus should’ve played.

And Aarts as a sub, good grief. Play Sonsie, play anyone.

According to Caesar Gibcus barely trained this week, so he wasn't going to play. He's still a pup KPD in AFL terms and needs to be managed.
Vlastuin was good tonight.
Agree re Aarts, he's a VFL player.
