If this is us trying, that is a massive worry.

We are letting a team that is widely considered a joke when they travel to Melbourne walk right over us.

41% at Docklands. 37% at the G.

Good goal roo.
Hopefully that retirement presser was fake news.

Is Weller playing a role on someone? No impact offensively.

No role. Business as usual. Has kicked 9.18 for the season. Only 4 goal assists all season. Normal programming resumed. He is just a poor player.

White reminds me of Luke Hodge in his prime.

How was that not holding the ball against Hurn in the goal square. Took on 3 tacklers and lost.

We honestly have to stop bombing it into forward 50, every man and his dog knows that's the one thing u don't do against the Eagles.

yep. All our goals have come when we actually lower the eyes and honour the lead.
Long bombs rarely end in goals.

Mav Weller is in seriously bad of form. Totally ineffectual and no impact.

Good game, but of course just reading this thread you'd think we were getting beat by coburg development squad.
Sinclair had a big 10 minutes - lovely stuff. Other mids quiet that quarter bar Newnes, who wasted some chances. Savage and Carlisle big for us. Going alright, but yes Mav is a passenger - get involved or he'll be at Sandy next week.

Gee White must of come back carrying 10 extra kilos to have been out of the side for so long.

Jack Newnes has cost us 4 shots at goal by bombing it inside 50. Burned leads everytime kicked it to wce is he betting on the eagles??

Grab newnes by the throat and tell him if he doesnt lower his eys, VFL rest of year.

White is a gun. Beautiful kick.
Membrey is elite. Carlisle is wlite. We desperately need J Kelly.

Need the mids grab the ball with a bit more urgency- WCE are grabbing it out of their hands! Sinclair is classy as is White. Need a big lift from some players though.

Jack Steven no influence when he gets tagged. I'm sure he's trying to break his tag, but at this point in time, not succeeding very well.

What the hell is Mav Weller doing. Is he playing a shut down roll, or just playing crap football again?

Maybe someone at the game can answer my question.

If that was us doing it in Perth, free against us 9 times outta 10
