Post Match. Pies thumped. All comments.

Positive — McStay was good.

8 touches and 1 goal = good? Maybe in some snowflake lala land after you've dismounted your unicorn.
One of the 11 who failed to reach double figures in possessions.... Hawthorn had 3.

Continue dishing up rubbish like that and we'll be lucky to win again this season. I'll be banking the majority of my winnings from yesterday but definitely having a nibble at the 3/1 for richmond to roll us next week, we're disgusting.

[Dark Beanie]

We are/were not defending a premiership, we were trying to win another one.

We won in 2023 and it is not being taken away.
You only have to defend something if it is possible to be taken away.

The only disgusting thing here is your comment. You know Mcstay’s back earlier than he should be from an ACL right? And did you consider our abysmal inside 50s count? Dan had to run up to the hawks forward line to find the ball

[lazzadesilva]

Does anybody at this club know how to defend 1 on 1, anybody?

This has had me frustrated and scratching my head over the past few games Which part of manning up don’t they understand? Why are the coaches continuing with this losing strategy? In every single game, they concede the first three opposition kicks out of defence and then the ball is in their half forward line with us scrambling to defend, quite often out of position Whatever happened to our defence system that we employed last season? What have the coaches been doing over the past five weeks?

[Raw Hammer]

Considering our rancid inside 50 entries and overall number, to score so often was quite remarkable. Imagine being a forward at this club right now. Horrific.

[Raw Hammer]

Also, to allow Ginnivan, of all players, to gather 31 freakin’ touches is an indictment of everyone from the coach to the players. We’re too nice. If you want to clamp any player in this match up, especially when the game was over at HT, it’s this guy. Laughing stocks. Should be strike one against Fly as far as I’m concerned. And now Schultz will bear the burden of being traded for a Top 5 draft pick in a string draft, something I doubt he will recover mentally from over the next 3 seasons. We swapped Pick 4 or 5 and Ginnivan for Schultz and something like Pick 30. That sort of sh!t hurts you for a good 5-8 years.

That was the worst performance I can remember from a Pies team.

Let me help you: https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2 ... 01010.html

That game mattered. Yesterday didn't.

Oh Jesuz, I'd forgotten about that one....times can turn quickly can't they?

[Dark Beanie]

So if Fly has another 2 strikes this season, he is out?

[Haff]

Slept on it. No emotion anymore.
Agree with the ships in the night. Hawks on the up, Pies with an anchor.

Firmly in the rebuild camp from now.
Play the kids because is personally don’t see many out and out stars there. Have to work out who is in it for 3-4 years time when we content again.

Johnson, McRae trades for picks 40+ though doubt we’ll get anything for Johnson.
Might have to give up a premiership star with some currency to get back in the draft. Hill is a candidate, doesn’t seem to want it anyway and the west is circling.

Keep Pendles for a season if he wants it, worth it for his infield coaching. Play off the half back.

Thankyou to Howe, Cox, Sidey and maybe Mitchell. Checkers only as we need to be somewhat competitive up forward.

Bottom out, pick 1 + Mcguanne the following draft (unless the fraud Hine trades it), hopefully get enough talent in before Tassie.

Have a dip at 2027 with Nick as captain.

[piedys]

We desperately need another midfielder who can get their hands on it and has run and carry but our track record isn't great. Adams and Treloar never lived up to the hype and assumed value, Mitchell is a role player with a limited future so I'm not confident we can just go and get one. Otherwise Nick will waste prime years of his career like Bucks and Pendles did.

Hiya Cam, seriously - our only realistic option is to prey Freo delist Will Brodie.
I don't think he has seen any senior games since 2023.
I doubt we even have any spare 2nd/3rd rounders to offer up for him right now.

Or maybe Crows might delist Crouch. We can only hope.

Here we are the reigning premiers, hoping some bottom feeder clubs might throw us a scrap cast-off to sure-up our midfield.

Hit the bricks Hine; you inept imbecile.

[ANNODAM]

I’d rather be extra cautious when it comes to concussions, do we want to be a MEL & replicate their stupidity?

I really don’t GAF whether other sides assess or take their players off, that’s on them.

I agree. But I’m care no matter who they play for. Geelong should have been raked over the coals by the AFL for not testing Stewart and sending him back on to play — he was sore during the week. Delayed concussions can be just as bad.

Yeah, you can have delayed concussions, my 15yo son plays Baseball at a pretty high level (Rep ball) at one of his @ bats, he got hit on the head with a ball, he was wearing a helmet.
Coach took him off & assessed him, he was OK but we had to monitor him for 2wks afterwards especially at night when he went to bed.

Myself, I cycle 15-20kms a day, I slipped & fell, hit my head, I was also wearing a helmet, I monitored myself for 2wks, made sure every night I went to bed, my better half woke me & made me do 10 star jumps, this went on for a week afterwards.

Mid 3rd Quarter...Our VFL team is going to go down to Carlton by 10+ goals

Only Bytel is playing well

That sums up how the club is doing.Absolutely no young talent coming through the ranks,and the seniors tired and disinterested.It really is a sad state of affairs.The recruiting department needs to be overhauled and Hine must go.

Trade Degoey to GC for Davies and a 1st round pick.

Trade 1st round pick to dogs for Baily Smith.

[Big T]

You lost me at Bailey Smith.

Keep 1st round pick and find a recruiting manager who can actually pick early draft talent.
