[madbluboy]

Pathetic effort. Pies toyed with us and then took the foot off the gas.

Have to agree, they just did what they had to do and its always the same players who beat us and we never seem to learn....very frustrating watching and I cant trust the club anymore to raise an effort even when struggling.
There had to be extra effort today but I just didnt see it.....

As people have stated, our delivery into F50 is awful.  That's a coaching issue. So DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT Voss.

If players can't deliver the ball into F50, then F them off and get some one who can

Seriously, why can't these idiots spot up somebody else other than bombing it to Charlie and Harry...surely JSOS and the others are making position!?! 

[Baggers]

When factored against where we really are against the pre season expectations... a pretty good effort against the top side. Kicked ourselves out of it to some extent. Forward line needs something of a renovation.

All is not lost. Plenty of season left to improve/get better/more efficient (and for those who might utter, "Couldn't get any worse." Yes we could).

Krudds in the in game thread:

“ How many times is he actually targetting when we go forward.
How many times is ANYONE targetting besides Harry and Charlie when we go forward?

They said it early on...Moore was simply working out where we were going to go based on where Charlie and Harry were located.
All we did was kick it right where we were expected to go all game.

Maybe try something else for a change?”

How often did we “target” Charles or H ?

We desperately need options offered and accepted up forward to break that predictability

[Professer E]

The usual suspects like Moore killed us again.  12 intercept marks.  That's unacceptable.

As a club we have the football IQ of a simpleton.

Part of the problem when we do go forward is that Durdin, Motlop and Owies seem to go missing, allowing the backs to clear the ball away under little if any pressure, and we are in trouble again.

While we have to rely on Charlie and H to do most of the work then the ball is directed to them and we become so predictable.

Also, our poor kicking for goal from set shots is a morale killer.

It seems to me that the players lack self belief for whatever reason.  First half was awful very fumbly and passive.

Seemed to get agro after half time  and although we lacked the class to really turn things around were a lot more competitive and upset the pies apple art and hit them hard.

Clearly we have to go out and bash up the swans on Friday, show them we mean business and reckon we will win.

Yep.....total reliance on Harry and Charlie to kick a score....our other forwards just dont touch the ball enough.
Owies at least gives you bang for buck when he does get it, he can kick straight but the others are just passengers....

We gave DM the all time record for intercept marks. That's how dumb we are, says it all really..
