    1. You can't burn goal scoring opportunities all game and expect to win in the last.
    2. Goals with seconds to go, Gunston two seconds last week, MacPherson four seconds today can be result defining.
    3. Smith has 'it'.

    1. The media hype that we were back to our 2016 hunger will now stop
    2. Smith will be a good player for us
    3. Wood and Richards surely on the chopping block
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    1. Having a brand of football that sees us own massive chunks of general play and field position, is so frustrating when it usually results in such wastefulness on the scoreboard.
    2. Naughton is fast becoming a real name in this game.
    3. Bontempelli could be the regarded as the best footballer in the competition if not for his poor goal kicking for the past 2 years.

    1. Close the roof at Marvel because you actually can’t see shit going from light to dark or vice versa.
    2. Team needs a shake up now after 3 games, Lippa, JJ and others need to come in.
    3. Honestly, just pathetic.

    1.Last week wasn't the beginning of something good.
    2. We're in for a lot of frustration this year.
    3. Bont is just below the true top echelon until he can learn to convert.

    1. I said we got lucky last week and I think today shows that. Still a fair way off in a lot of areas.
    2. We need a fast pressure small forward - our mid sized forwards don’t apply enough pressure and aren’t quick enough.
    3. Young has potential - made some errors but had a lot of pressure with little help but did OK considering.

    1. Bont has officially got the yips bad.
    2. Our forward line is a work in progress....spread guys spread.
    3. A crappy start to the week.

    1. Caleb Daniel has an insatiable competitive spirit.
    2. Naughton plays like he's been playing for four years, not 2.
    3. Our captain isn't best 22 anymore.

    Bonus one: Our supporters should have the courtesy to learn the names of the players on their *!*!*!*!ing team. The lady behind me who was saying 'Who's 22' all game did my *!*!*!*!ing head in.

    Why don't those supporters buy a flipping record. That is why they sell them.

    1. Apart from Naughton we lack quality forwards
    2. Absolutely thrashed in the ruck
    3. Lack of depth and pace was most obvious today . Too many slow players

    1. The Bont has the yips.
    2. There must be an impact on conceding so many ruck contests.
    3. We seem to need to chase to get going.

    1. Any confidence we got from the first 2 rounds may have just been deleted.

    2. Our defense needs a general. Wood should be that man but he is struggling to play his own role atm.

    3. English is no where near ready to shoulder the ruck duties on his own. He needs help or more vfl time. Our mids can't work with his tap work at all. They rely 100% on sharking the oppositions taps. If he wins one it will probably disadvantage us because we won't expect it!
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
