Apart from personnel problems, the team's kicking was very bad. And the old problem of allowing goals out the back reappeared.
Has Madgen gone backwards in the last few weeks?
Did Fasolo appear more than once the whole game?
Appleby appeared, but perhaps not with the ball. Should he be ahead of Oxley, who butchered the ball? |

Magden & Oxley were worse that useless - we'd be better of playing Dunn & Schaz than those two.

And it was obvious that Faz had already left the building.

Three things, the umpires were utter shit, and got Dons right back into game , ust as we were threatening, how much were they paid off ??? Fasolo has lost it, missed easy goals, I cant see his future with us now. Goldsack might have to retire, I dunno, been a great servant, but his time may have come. I hope he proves me wrong, been a great player.

Only watched bits of the 1st half as I was out but we never looked likely. Disappointing to drop out like that but as with the seniors we did really well just to make the finals with large chunks missing most of the season. What might've been if we held on against box hill and ended up with the double chance?

Was Fasolo as bad as Witts in his last game?

I am not sure whether this is the place to raise the use of McLarty. Last year he had a great season playing at full back. We need a key defender. It is time to stop trying to turn him in a ruckman come CHF and let him play where he plays best and fill a glaring void in our defence. He tried har today but he is not a rckman.

He's not a ruckman and Lynch isn't a key forward

While I only caught snatches of the game, I share the disappointment expressed by others – it was a pretty dirty day for most of our senior list, including our rookie defenders. If they struggle against Essendon's seconds, how are they supposed to match it with top-level senior teams in finals?
Only positives were that Goldsack was okay, and Brown, as mentioned, performed well – not sure if there's a place for the latter in the team next week (maybe if Varcoe decides not to play?), but I'd give Goldsack a run ahead of either Madgen or Oxley based on his performance today.
Sad to think that it was probably the last time we'll see Blair, Fasolo, Smith, Crocker and others in black and white stripes (possibly Oxley too).

None of these are sad departures.
Though, it must be said, it will be a melancholy reminder that we are all one year older and one year further away from 2010 (and therefore one year closer to death) when Blair's delisting is announced...
As for Crocker, he will, unfortunately, still be with us next year. Contracted.

Those of us who have watched this team every week have been screaming about this all year. But even with our dearth of available key backs, they wanted/valued the backup replacement for Cox more than they wanted/valued the next recognised key defender. Which only makes the non-use of McLarty when Cox missed against West Coast not that long ago more mind-bogglingly stupid...
This is the domino effect from how they shuffled the chairs around over the summer. They got it into their heads that Moore just had to play back, that Reid and Cox had to play forward together, that Goldsack was to play as a pressure forward, that the newly-drafted Mihocek and Madgen were to be used as backup/developing key defenders and that Lynch was to play 1st ruck in the VFL, so that therefore meant they needed a backup forward/ruck for Cox. And seeing as we had neglected our KPF stocks for so long, that meant McLarty was the one who had to budge, despite having a good first year at FB.
I didn't like it at the time, still don't. But that's the way the cookie crumbled...
