    Credit needs to be given to the Pies, they are causing us to play this way, making us appear static - no continuity or run, poor decision making.

            These first two quarters show a distinct difference in class thus far. We really struggle beating (or even being competitive) against sides above us on the ladder.

                Thank goodness for McGlynn. Has been terrific tonight.

                  Lewis's hands just ain't workin. We really have to work to get a high tackle or incorrect disposal call tonight.

                    we go backwards far too often. they sit on the player behind the ball and we end up with more players in front of the ball and them running in waves against us. Our midfield is getting absolutely spanked. I am absolutely sick of goodes playing in front of the ball it doesn't work and we lose his ability to actually get it. And LRT and grundy getting beaten one on one too easily. Absolutely embarassing performance.

                    I would be happier if we were getting beaten in our forward line because of who we were missing. But the reality is we are getting beaten eveywhere.

                      Well, I hope Roos smashes them at half time and then turns around and smashes himself for coaching as poorly as the players have played.

                      McGlynn, Mumford, Malceski and a few others can hold their head high. The rest...

                        Not that it would make any difference to the score but gee they throw the ball a lot without being pinged

                          agree completely. and it pains me given that i keep getting mislead by just how bad the teams behind us are. I doubt our ability to beat both richmond and melbourne away now.
