    We obviously deserve to be losing but the AFL needs to look into why so many interstate teams fail at the MCG

      To be fair to the coaches we’ve kicked 2.6, had we kicked straight in the first quarter (and Haywards shocker) things wouldn’t look so grim.

      The delivery info f50 when we actually get it up there has been poor which astounds me when we have Gulden, Campbell etc who can pick out a target. Why aren’t we using them??

        He's getting his hands on it and doing some good things but I agree - taking too long with it and making bad decisions

          Just no flair , no dare in Swans tonight.
          +1

          There's a lot of work and change needed in this next half if we any chance of getting back in it.

            Once Carlton got on top with clearances it was trouble town . We look slow , hits the ground and we are in trouble . We’re is our forward pressure , and I’m not talking smalls either because wicks has been serviceable

              We’re missing most of the team- let’s not blame Longmire as the players are letting us down. If Paps and JMac are not 100%, they should have owned up, but realistically who else have we got?
              Some of the decision making has been terrible, for instance Parks kicking high to Wicks who was easily out marked. Horrible to watch.

                It’s not primary school footy

                How about our club take a look at the problem themselves and do something about it

                What a loser mentality

                  Difference is
                  - contested possessions, getting smashed in air and on ground - down 85-65
                  - we look lumbering forward of the ball - need Fox on pretty quickly
                  - again, slow of thought, grabby and easily cowered in a final
                  - tackle count is 35-35, but we'd be winning the missed tackle count by a fair margin.

                    One blessing so far - no frothing at the mouth about Paddy and/or Charlie. If that starts I’ll be off I reckon.
                    Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

                      Classic Longmire football
                      Rubbish. Do you actually think this is what Longmire wants? Blame the players that couldn't kick straight in the first quarter. That would have put pressure on Carlton.

                        chill bro lol - its significantly harder for interstate teams to win a premiership and it'll never be a national competition until its equal. Vicbias is real

                        what an aggresive douchebag mentality

                          Chad , Rowbottom and Parker need to dominate clearances in the second half if we have any chance

                            Dropping Fox set the tone for this. The one player who can mentally handle a final.

                              What about our forward line- do we have one?

                                There is now a template to beat us in big games. Not much is going to change unless we change the personnel. We are just too small and too young and too same. I think it is a shame we can’t withstand finals pressure here unlike the bygone era when we could not only withstand but own it.
