We played Hind in the wrong position Bruce, not sure why we thought offloading him was a good idea? Hickey, is in good form. Played some good footy at StK but at times was also poor (maybe injury?) Letting Hickey and Bruce go I can understand - one looked like he wasn't going to make it and the oth...

We all put our hard earned into this rabble and for years we’ve had nothing but amateur hour. It’s time for a full football dept review - we need to look at everything from list, coaching panel ,recruiting, development to administration. The place is rotten tobb no the core and we are carrying some...

Surely you jest?!

There is no team spirit or pride. Bring back Bevo!

Buncha dumb-arses. I hope King is taking notice of Naughton’s second efforts. 100 point shellacking. It’s laughable

There’s no team spirit. Too many highly paid in debloodyviduals. A massive clean out is needed.

Footsteps...Butler?

Should Essendon and Carlton prevail, in winnable games, next weekend and we lose to Footscray, we’ll slump to 13th on the ladder with a game in hand, but a miserable percentage compared to the Suns and Crows who’ll be propping us up. Friday night’s loss makes this weekend’s match a must win game for...

Sinclair, Crouch, Ryder and Steele kept us in it, but in saying that our backline pretty much beat their forwards all night.

How did they win when our backline beat their forwards all night?

Nothing to do with yips. If your technique is flawed it is not the yips it is flawed technique. Watch how Higgins kicks. Put the ball on your bot watch the ball ALL the way to your boot. Stop looking at the goals while you are kicking, do that just before you release the ball. Watch the ball ALL th...

I agree. His confidence is shot. A turn in the backline will do him the world of good and add another string to his bow.

The question is: could we have won the game if the finishing was more polished?

He should take goal kicking lessons from his brother. His fumbles were also deflating!

Joyce is heaps better than Carlisle. He runs, chases, tackles, hits the ball hard. His body language suggests aggression and desire. He doesn’t spit the dummy and point the finger like Carlisle. In short, he has a red-hot go! He’s learning and will only get better.

A quote from Ratten at yesterday’s press conference: “We’re lacking a little bit of confidence to click and jell. That’s probably hurting us a bit.” Whose responsibility is it to instil confidence? How can a team jell when there are no consequences for overpaid, underperforming players? Hurting a bi...

Ratten’s press conference was a series of nonsensical responses to a bunch of dorothy dix questions. Mealy-mouthed rubbish.

Kick. It. To. The. Forward’s. Advantage.

Plus shepherd hard! Create corridors through selflessness.

What a farkin’ joke.

Breathe!!! Breathing exercise = comatose efforts. Lazy!!!

Traded him in.
Played him.
Decided he was a dud.
Traded him out.

My understanding is that we wanted to keep him but Essendon wanted him more (offered too much).

Could be true. He won't win anyone a premiership though.

Doing a good job tonight!!!

If he could be encouraged to run down and tackle opponents that’d be ace, but all he does is defensively lope and coralle. He needs a Malthouse type rocket, like the one that was delivered to Don Pyke. It turned him from a soft player into a hard one.

not sure where to begin with the above statement - however - firstly you did miss one memo from our club stating that we had a plan to exploit the "Man on the mark rule" Secondly you CERTAINLY missed watching the Cats vs Hawks game on the weekend where geelong played a much slower stop st...

A fall over the line win, followed by a poor performance, followed by pathetic performance should mean a few players get the chop. Those who are not up to scratch with basic footy requirements -tackling, contested ball, marking etc should be worried. However, past experience indicates “no worries” ...

Thanks, but no thanks. I’m not interested in spending a small fortune flying from Perth to witness a shellacking. I’ll watch the game from the comfort my lounge room.

Who is replacing a third of the team? Seconds players??

Anyone from the twos with the right attitude. Persevering with selfish, lazy, overpaid, cloggers
only perpetuates the club’s ills.
