We look old. We look slow. And compared to the Scumwood site; we look unfit. Add that to the Auskick level of kicking and tackling and it is not pretty.

This has been an absolute shellacking. 22 scoring shots to 9 tells the real story. We have a hell of a lot of work to do.

Reckon Marlion has been ordinary so far. No impact. Fumbling and falling over. Looks sloooow like a lot of them.

Agree, I mentioned it earlier. He usually looks so clean in these conditions but has fumbled all night putting himself under pressure.
 
We had our chances. Two missed gettable shots by Lynch could have made it interesting

Re the Riewoldt tackle that caused so much angst, now there is more time to explain, it's a simple case of no prior opportunity.

Unless he fended, twisted or turned to dodge, baulked etc to avoid being tackled in the first place then there is no way it could be holding the ball.

Perfect tackle, wrapped him straight up with no chance to dispose of the ball legally, ball up.

Without prior opportunity it is nearly impossible to win a free kick for holding the ball.
Wrong. He took possession, took three steps and tried to run through Jack. Similarly, De Goey tried to run through four Richmond players, brought to ground, ball up. Prior opportunity is a *smile* rule, umpired poorly.

Yeah those misses from Lynch killed us I think.
He’s just not a consistently clutch player.

Has monstered games and kicked bags but also misses regulation shots that that players like him just have to nail.

Young struggling. 5 disposals, 3 turnovers, 0 effective.

That kick across goal was a horrible decision. We were lucky to get out of that one. Hasn't impacted defensively out there.

He has something but I hope to see Tarrant back soon, our organisation back there will improve once he's back. Missing the organisation of Broad back there too.

We're not unfit, we are slow, particularly in the midfield. Yep we've been comprehensively beaten. Should be 50 points. Thankfully Pies have missed some sitters.
 
Apparently the Daicos brothers are playing! FFS - shut the f up about them

Was the free hit game but once again we go conservative. And for what. We all know we are slow yet we refuse to bring some pace into the side sticking with the old brigade
