Post match: Pies lose to Dogs. All comments please.

I knew we would lose.We just can't play at Etihad,it's too fast there for our slow,plodding team.When you add the fact that we had our weakest team of the year today,then something like this was always going to happen.

A few players clearly got shown up today,Kennedy and Oxley in particular.Both are clearly not up to A.F.L standard.

Where have all the happy sacks gone?
They love to bash the realists on here after
every win or honourable loss.
Your silence is deafening!!!!

The first change is easy Adams in Blair out
Only to give another game to Kenno only to give another chance / look
But gee Kenno did not look likely today
Also time for Marsh to come in probably for the Ox
White goes when Cloke comes back
We cannot leave Moore one out he will get killed / broken

So we went into the game with both rucks, dropped Seedsman yet were seemingly content to allow this to be an open and fast game of football.

Talk about playing into the dogs hands.

They ate that up and smashed us for possession, had 12 more inside 50's and even beat us at the contested ball.

Awful performance from the players and coaches alike and we were lucky it wasn't a 7 goal loss.

Enough is enough. What we served up today was shit. No manic intense pressure and playing like our lives depended on it. Clearly no one at the club gives a toss about playing finals this year.

Deplorable disposal by hand and foot once again but what's new... that's what we specialize in after all. We are the turnover kings who get killed on the counter because we've zoned off too far from our opponent and given them too much space to run and carry. Couldn't stick a tackle. Lost count how many times a dogs player easily broke off one of our tackles.

Shot ourselves in the foot in the foot in the third when we decided to f*** around and play kick to kick for ten minutes. Yeah that worked didn't it Pies!! F***ing genius that.

Disgusting decision making. We're the out of bounds on the full specialists. Can't hit up targets. Couldn't hit the back end of a barn from dead in front. Piss fart around with the ball instead of going long and direct.

High up and under kicks that give the opposition ample time to react and effect a spoil.

I see many plodders and list cloggers in our side. I'm starting to tire of the rubbish we've been serving up lately. There's simply no excuse for poor skills and decision making - not when you're a professional footballer.

White is a waste of space and contributes bugger all. Oh wait, hang on, no he's 'structurally important' to the team isn't he...

Fasolo fasolo fasolo. Where art thou??

Sideshank and his high up and under kicks that go here there and everywhere.

Swan gets pushed off the ball easier these days and his kicking his borderline. Yes he's still a champ but this still needs to be pointed out.

Marley tries hard but his disposal is also borderline.

Why is Maynard playing?

Enough said about goldsack the better.

then there's turnover tooves

oxley.... that guy must have been on the piss or dope last night because that's exactly how he played.

I'm not convinced seedsman would have offered much apart from a few OOBOTFs.

Greenwood needs time - only his second game.

Kennedy is the poster boy and benchmark for shitty kicking - more so than sideshank. Why is he playing? He excels in the vfl but can't cut the mustard in the seniors.

Some big calls need to be made on a few guys at the end of the year cos if we keep this up then we're going nowhere fast.

Kennedy used to be able to kick more than 35 m What has happened OP?
Who to drop? Guess it depends on injuries and form in the VFL

Oxley when you shit yourself because Bob Murphy is coming up behind is just sad.
