I think it's not gelling as a team as yet - they're unsure who to give it off too. Very annoying to watch us work hard to get it, then second guess and get caught. Im into the 2nd qtr now, some passages of play by us were brilliant only to be let down by a spilled mark of fumble. Also not converting with easy shots at goal despite dominating I50 count. Shame.

Not only did he push his head into the ground, repeatedly, he appeared to lay the boot into him as well.
Funny how they chose NOT to replay the 'bad' angle and showed the other side which had 5 blokes blocking view of what occurred.

Marks to Hawkins in the goal square under little pressure UNFORGIVABLE by the defenders.

I actually thought there was a lot to like about our performance, especially effort/intensity. It was only inexperience and tired young bodies that prevented us winning.
Scott's comment that his defenders effectively helped us with brain fades, was very disingenuous. I thought our pressure forced them into error. If we'd held our marks up forward, and were a little cleaner we would have kicked a lot more goals. Only inexperience prevented us kicking an impressive score... we held Scott's Sooky Sooky La La's to a losing score.
Not sure that match day tactics is BBs forte. Better support?
Wrapped to see Plowman's return to form. Terrific game.
Weitering was solid, looked at home and not out of place like early in the year and last year.
Jones got it right and was really good.
Cuningham is fortunate he was on the end of some good work and kicked a goal. I still have serious doubts about whether this bloke will make it, just goes missing too often and makes dreadful mistakes when there's heat close by.
SPS, after a sluggish start was hard at it and backed himself at times - good to see.
O'Brien needs some VFL time. Future gun, though.
Dow, wow, really good stuff. Wish we could cram 50 games into him.
Crippa and Ed were rippers.
Kerr looks like a natural forward... liked what we saw.
Lamb, McKay and Cuningham were our only passengers, though we did see some glimpses from H... but he just seems clueless at times!
A lot more positives than negatives.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It was a bit of crystal balling last night watching 2 20 yo and a 21 yo with about 50 games between them, be our 3 key targets up forward. The TAC system gives nothing to young forwards in terms of preparing them for the AFL, they have to learn it on the spot, either VFL or AFL. Young forwards at other clubs can be introduced to the big time with a few older heads around them. That’s where we are missing Levi at the moment.
Last night was the first time they have every played senior football together. Compare them to Kennedy, Darling, LeCras or Walker, Jenkins and Lynch etc.
It takes time and it takes patience, but the signs are there. (Who remembers Josh Kennedy’s 22 games with us.....11 goals, dropped marks, at times looked like a real spud!!)
The potential (dirty word) is there !

Their bully boy and flopping to the ground at every opportunity tactics were pathetic. They seemed to lose the plot when a team they thought they could physically and mentally push over easily, stood up to their rubbish. Their supporters are a bunch of country bumpkin sooks too, but what do you expect from a bunch who idolise a diving cheat like Selwood.
They reflect the petulance and sense of entitlement that is found in abundance in their coach.
Reality always wins in the end.
