    We're on track but that last goal hurts big time.

      We won the quarter, but it would have been handy not to concede that goal then. And I though they'd moved McCartin onto Hogan

        They've been doing them all day and I haven't seen one paid. So don't expect it to start being paid at this point.

          Whoever said it’s not down to our 21st or 22nd player was clueless.

          A team is as only good as it’s weakest link. We have two very weak ones.

            Love Tom mc but both he and pelican couldn't stay on their feet let alone spoil Hogan. It's bloody hard

            Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

                Melican and O'Riordan just not up to it.

                  Melican is a 2nds player. He is the difference in the sides. Making Hogan look like a superstar.

                    I expect they are...I probably didn't explain myself well- I know the people here are very knowledgeable about the game. So yes I assume the umpires are shocking...but none the less nobody would be mentioning it if we were winning ...

                    I just can't handle the stress... I am weak...

                      Bugger we didn't need that on the siren. Hogan has killed us in the air.

                      We wasted an opportunity running through the middle because of a bad handball.

                        We’ve known all year we’re a KPD short and it’s showing today. (And yes, Fox would have probably done better today but that’s still an issue for us).

                          We are one decent tall defender short. It's something we need to address, either by recruitment or finding one internally. BOC, Gould or perhaps convert Amartey? One thing for sure is that Melican is not the answer.

                            Yes JMac missed his handball. We are still in this... a good start to Q4 would help. Like the first 7 goals.

                              Just been that little bit off all day - with handling, with footing, with handballs just missing the mark. 5% is all it takes, and sadly its been that story again.

I want Melican to make it, but today has shown he will never be good enough imho to be even a 2nd KPD. Horrendous positioning again and again, and lots of panicky moments to go with it.

                                Tough ask from here. We desperately needed that one Heeney missed.
                                Jesse Hogan at one point was thought to be the best young key forward in the game.

                                He suddenly decides to play to his early promise.
