Dimma needs to the boys a blast. That quarter was brainless and soft.

Should give the biased umps one too!

We need to up the pressure.

When we don’t that’s the output we get.


It brainless and mindboggling. 

We play that way next week and the pies will win by 100 points

Hopper leg obliterated
Looked shocking

[mightytiges]

Hopper has done his ankle  .

Great .... just great! 

[Buddysucks]

I can’t see how the match committee can select Mansell as the sub. Surely you need a ball winner in that role. Someone that can have an impact somewhere?

[mightytiges]

What is with us today running past the ball before it's won 

[Buddysucks]

Balta, no body work again, just try and outreach your opponent. Stuff me.

[Buddysucks]

3 tall forwards and not one can lead as an option to co test Lynch’s kick on the forward flank

[Tigeritis™©®]

Why are we playing so soft. 

I can’t watch this crap. It’s 2016 all over again.

[mightytiges]

Who is down at ground level? No one  .

[mightytiges]

This is so soft  .

Everyone running away from the ball and contest leaving teammates isolated  . You've got to support your teammates!

[Simonator]

I think that’s the biggest takeaway.. the one thing that was always a given with this team isn’t there anymore. Fwd 50 pressure. 3 talls doesn’t work
