I just don't understand why we play Aarts and Castagna when they give us nothing every week.
Everyone can see it except Dimma and the match committee. We're playing two down before the siren even sounds. They've offered nothing offensively this year and worst still they don't hold opposition defenders accountable. Always lost in no man's land.

IMO it's an illustration of a drop off in standards this year. No value or pressure on spots in the team to force a lift in performance and a desperation to remain in the side.

Our lowest half-time since that 2017 St Kilda game at Docklands. Has the same feel too. Mentally asleep from the start.

Only way George was going to get a touch. Held by the arm without it by Danger. Goal!

Rich  2.4-16
Geel  8.3-51

Comeback on  ;D.

So you think Lynch is doing ok then  :lol  :rollin

He’s playing rubbish and you can give him excuses if you want but he should be ashamed and embarrassed of himself.

Personally I’d drop him to the twos on this performance alone.

Did I say he was playing well? NO!

He is having a shocker. Like another 18 blokes

But the point I was making and you won't acknowledge is that part of the issue is the forwards set up and plan

If he's been told like the other forwards that one has to stand like a statue in the square while the other key forward leads then no matter how frustrating, stupid it maybe then he is playing his role.

Like I said I hate it, makes no sense at all but it is the plan. It is the idiotic, stupid plan that isn't working and is costing us

And that's why we don't score. Mid running freely through the centre square and no one leads up to him so the kick is long to a contest  :scream.

It's not pretty but another goal. Aarts.

Finally had numbers at the fall of the ball.

Geel 8.3-51

Stack kept his head there. Spots up Baker 30 out. Sprays it badly  :scream

23 - 51

Misses like that can be momentum killers  :scream.

Terrible defending. Kept the space open for Hawkins :facepalm.

23 - 57

And there's the payout for Baker's bad miss  :banghead.
