Jesse White can take a leaf out of Cloke's book and learn to play in front. If he plays in front he will learn how easy it is to use his body to draw a free.

Couldn't agree more.

Well then that was very promising! We might not win, but if we play 4 quarters like that tonight I'll be very pleased. I think my harsh words to Mcveigh last week might have stirred something in him- he has been excellent so far and working really hard. We need to cut the silly errors out as the Pies are so good at punishing them, but so far I've been very pleased with what I've seen. Funny how much better we look when we take the game on and move the ball quickly.

McVeigh had a superb quarter. Keep it up boys!

Just gotta get Goodes into the play!

White and Grundy = dumb.

Grundy knocks the ball away then gets petulant and slings Cloke; goal. When will the coaching panel get this blokes match up right at the start of a game.
White; playing behind as usual and slings his opponent which was totally unnecessary. Quick play on for a goal. No wonder he is a seconds player.

Still can't win the bloody first quarter but we're competitive. C'mon boys, we can win this!

**ugg** · 25 June 2011, 07:47 PM

Definitely more attacking but that opens us up if we turn it over which they've already capitalized on a couple of times

If he hasn't worked that out by now he never will.

They competed well, but the worry is how easy Collingwood scored their goals - couple of them looked like a training run.

**Melbournehammer** · 25 June 2011, 07:48 PM

By the way what is going on with our kicking I reckon we have had four to five kicks into the fifty have just been complete miskicks

**wolftone57** · 25 June 2011, 07:49 PM

I am still really peeved with our skill level & that includes our experienced players. If the skill level was just a thing of the young blokes I would say inexperience is the prob but not if it is our older blokes who r being loose with their delivery. They are not backing each other up & not running to posi to collect a good posi. Being opened up right down the middle, not good for a team who prided itself on guarding the middle. What's more Pise go wide normally.

And would tadgh get rid of these pathetic hand passes out of defence. His handpasses too frequently put his teammate under pressure

**mpr104** · 25 June 2011, 07:52 PM

Great tackle from Nick Mal, just missed the kick.

**Melbournehammer** · 25 June 2011, 07:57 PM

Poor poor effort to shepherd by Grundy. You just have to do better than that. Smithy caught because of poor teamwork
