Smith and Cox are a liability, Langdon's value is questionable, we have no depth. McLarty is a better option than Cox. Grundy panic's at times and just puts the ball to boot, but he's not the only one. Crisp and Aish on tonight's form are not part of the future. Very disappointing start. The coaching is the bottom line, as well as the president. We have failed the membership, and gone stale. _________________ In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away |

It’s not usual to go straight from a wedding to a wake. There really aren’t many reasons to watch it. The score line flattered us. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

What astonished me was our total lack of pressure on the contested ball...that was one of our strengths last year.
Our skills at ground level were also substandard, and we also seemed to lack the game reading skills to be at the ball when it fell to ground. Hawthorn always was there, while we were not.
The apparent ease of Hawthorn's victory was due to our total inability to apply pressure on the contested ball tonight. This is a step backwards compared with last year, since pressure on the contested ball was one of our strengths... As was tackling pressure, which was, relatively speaking, almost inexistent tonight.
Poor kicking skills was also a factor, but I really think that the absence of pressure on the contested ball was what stood out. why was this ?? That is what I would like to know. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

Treloar way worse - 40.6 DE. Adams - 60. _________________ Donny.
It's a game. Enjoy it.

After all the crap of the first three quarters we dominated for 20 mins in the last and could only manage two goals.

Same thought, Magpietothemax. I think we all knew that our suspect forward line would depend on relentless supply from a dominant midfield. Instead mitchel gets 100 possessions and omeara dominates the first half. Our ability to win the contested ball was the difference. Smith and cox both had absolute shockers (more defensible for Cox, who is still learning ... Smith is experienced, and he’s just not quite up to it, the lad). Reid and Moore need to be placed back where they belong, or at least alternated. Reid is not really cutting it as a key forward. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Yep, I admire Cox's efforts to learn a new game. But it's been a few years now and he's not getting any younger. Would like to see McLarty given a go. |

Treloar's effort in Q4, off the side of the boot 20m forward, was also stunning. |
