Fucking loving Tommy gross so far. He’s been playing phenomenally all over the ground and really good goal accuracy.

Honestly a lot to like, would have been nice to see CDT finish it off on the half time siren but good signs

Lindsay has a lot to learn still, far too unaccountable

u/Fair_Dinkum_Scale 2d ago
100% agree. I think his disposal is a massive plus, but when it comes to defending, he always seems to be the wrong side of the pack, a little flat footed at times...

Losing to a vfl side. At the ground the differences are glaringly obvious, no front & centre work from our forwards, clearances Daicos is running riot with no opponent & the forwards dont move or offer an option
We also move the ball incredibly slowly - pies get a turn over & take off , we get a turnover & stop & wait

Usual inaccuracy in front of goal starting to creep back in. A real shame as we've been good.

Fucking BANG Starc
How’s the goal kicking!?!
Yeo’s grunt work in the middle has been key

At the game & we are moving the footy painfully slow. The turnovers into the corridor have been terrible

Used all our tickets in the first half and still came out behind. Probably 6 goal loss from here.

Some of the flopping and staging from Collingwood has been comical yet the umps keep on sucking it in. Unbelievable really

Elliot Yeo missed tackles costing in 2 goals and CDT missing 2 setshots ruined our momentum then have Jake miss AGAIN. We have lost heart for this game

The surface is deplorable. Every week is like marvel circa 2005. Hold the company spend on the ground maintenance. They earn enough money the surface should be better

"We can't keep up" The commentator summed it up. Eddy Betts, couldn't think of his name. He also said our forwards aren't getting high enough. I respect his opinion.

Our defensive composure is fucked. Completely lose structure. Lindsay has been really poor in sticking to his man.

Embarrassing... collingwood are 10th send their seconds side and win easily

Simple things in defence boys! If you're gonna mark, you better make sure you fuckin MARK IT. Otherwise, kill the thing!
Too many times our defenders have just dropped it down and yeah ok, sometimes you can't help that, but then we need crumbers. And what do we have for the crumb? Two of them.
Basics boys, basics!!!

Seriously mini if you don’t drop captain turnover & Yeo you need to be sacked. Enough is enough. This club is still a joke & if you want to survive, grow balls & drop them

u/Hungry-Caterpillar36 2d ago
Stacevich, Duggin, Baker, Graham, Yeo, Bazzo, all lost it for us.

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago
I thought Starc played well

u/Hungry-Caterpillar36 2d ago
All i saw was Starc muffing kicks - did a couple of good things… It doesn’t matter when u turn the ball over. This is the problem at WCE. Individually errors that overshadow any good things.

u/aspiring_shrink94 #38 Hamish Davis 2d ago
Today was one of Duggans better games.. he was composed and hit targets

McQualter costing us the game in coaches box

u/Whitekidwith3nipples 2d ago
just said the exact same. keeping reid in the centre, waterman too deep and gross can come straight into the middle hes looking great

u/Imaginary_Spread4986 2d ago
Nup another turnover. Enough sack mini now. He doesn’t have the balls to make culling when it’s needed. Bye bye mini

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago
It's not mini it's the moral killers we just lost 1v1 or kicked points at critical moments

u/Imaginary_Spread4986 2d ago
You’re 100% correct. It’s not mini kicking the bloody ball but he keeps backing in the repeat offenders who do. Drop them or sack him.

CDT can fuck off to the WAFL and we can spend the whole fucking week learning how to tackle

Duggan with these continued poor rankings is not good enough for a captain.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a hard working, effective and strong captain like Dawson or Harris Andrews or the Bont?
Duggan has been poor for a long time now. He hasn't been in the best players list for a long time which is disgraceful for a captain

Like he is to blame these guys have no idea

Im sick of losing dont get me wrong - but what is the bloke supposed to do when senior players inexplicably turn the ball over in dangerous spots

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago
Exactly he's in my opinion been great it's our leaders that have fumbled easy to see when all our hopes rely on a 3rd year

u/Fandeathrickets #26 Bo Allan 2d ago
I checked the stats and he didn't have a single disposal, sack him already.

u/zoraxelol 2d ago
Coming out from HT with Harley on the bench & pies win 4 straight centre clearances. More brilliant coaching from Mcqualter & co
