Still haven't beaten a decent side yet and we won't until our forward line starts to function.

To say the least I am mildly annoyed at the umpiring in the first 5 minutes of the third quarter and the free kick against Castagna in the last.

Half a VFL side can beat the likes of Nth and Syd, but we will battle from here on in against better sides. Let’s just all cool our jets tonight.

What an absoute disgrace... 6 goals 14. Dont deserve to win with that garbage. Its back to the Tigers of old. Crap return for all the hard work. They shud be totally embarrassed and apologise to the faithful who bought memberships. Hell i am angry about this.
Yep, prime game when you say give me a *smile* refund.

No way mate. We should have won regardless. Dominated the second quarter and also the last quarter and a half. Complete ineptitude in our forward line and horrendous skill level cost us the game.

Dominated to half forward. Couldn’t get hands on the ball inside 50. Second quarter was the Swans game all over again.

It's not even the kicking into the fwd 50 that is the issue. It is the fact we have zero presence once the ball isn't marked. Was our strength with Rioli, Butler and Castagna sweeping everything that wasn't marked. Now, if we don't mark it the ball is easily swept out.
Spot on mate. It is like chalk and cheese. What was once our major strength is now a major weakness. It was our one wood and now it's gone.

I can not believe how poorly our forward line is functioning this year.

Giants beat Tigers with half a seconds team...nothing to sing about. Badly needed Prestia, Edwards, Cotch to get it away from the packs.

I've seen enough of Pickett. Just don't see it with him. Doesn't win enough of the ball, chooses to bump instead of going for the ground ball too much etc.

I'd rather we see what some of the kids have. 10 disposals as a full time mid isn't good enough. I'd like to see what either RCD or Diw can offer rather than him.

Yep that's 3 out the last 4 we should have won up there and we have blown every one due to our own incompetence. Tonight takes the cake. Gianst flew the white flag in the last quarter and a half and we were too inept to take advantage.
Yep, they had their pants down ready to *smile* the bed.

Or at least get on the right side of their opposition that last goal was horrendous the way they whizzed it out of stoppage.

Just undermanned. An insipid North is one thing, but can’t expect young players to show poise beyond their years under pressure.

You just would like to see desperation from the young guys. Naish and Egg are soft outside players. Be surprised if Naish gets another game
