Maybe we need to stop chopping and changing the bottom 6?
Time for a big name or two to be dropped.
More of an In Bruges guy?

The bottom 6 players are rarely the difference, as you'd only expect marginal improvement with their inclusion.
We dominated in the first quarter yet went in a goal up. We're uphill skiiers if there is such a thing - we just can't translate midfield dominance into scoreboard impact. We're gone out and picked up Lloyd then Bruce, and swung Naughton forward, so it isn't like our list managers don't recognise it as a problem.

1. Our taxing game plan is hurting us during the footy festival. We look so much more tired than our opponents who both have come in with one day less break.
2. Screaming for one or two players to come back in hoping it’ll fix our issues is desperation. Naughts won’t fix our forward woes and Hunter won’t fix our midfield. The problem is game plan related. We’ve seen games like tonight with both Naughton and Hunter playing.
Actually that’s it. All the issues we had tonight we all already knew existed.

Finals won't happen. If you look at the current top 8 (of which we make up) there are no teams I see that will drop out and I still believe Collingwood will make it and take our spot. I think we'll finish 9th-11th sadly. Remember we're still to play Brisbane, Geelong and West Coast in our last 7. That's 3 losses the way we're going. Now if we sneak 1 win out of those and then win our other 4 games we MIGHT sneak in with results going our way but even in that case our pathetic % will kill us. The odds are against us sadly.

1. Another tall in the forward line will take some of the pressure away from Bruce. Double teamed every week.
2. Mitch Wallis is a leader.
3. Close games often bring on critical, decisive moments. We lost that moment last night.

Re: 3 things you have learned - RD 10 v Port 2020
1. Ash Hansen needs to go.
2. We really should have called JJ's bluff when we negotiated his last contract.
3. 2020 is over for us unfortunately.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: 3 things you have learned - RD 10 v Port 2020
1. A couple of skill errors by JJ unfortunately cost us big time.
2. I would like to see Vandermeer pass it off sometimes rather to always go for the long goal. Kicked 0.4
3. Poor by Port supporters in the last quarter, booing Mitch Wallis coming back on the field after having his face cut open.

Last night they were bordering on crows fans territory. They just booed at everything. They even booed the goal we got after a touched kick wasn't paid a mark to one of their players. It was obviously touched. Perhaps after lockdown they need to vent a lot more. Hate to see the next Collingwood game with fans in that case.

Re: 3 things you have learned - RD 10 v Port 2020
1. We beat the top team everywhere but on the scoreboard.
2. We over handball at times and our "plan" is just to bomb the ball into the forward line. Bruce is being crashed by 2 or 3 every time.
3. I lost count of their intercept marks, infuriating.

Agree. I’ve thought for ages he’d be our VC if it wasn’t for his form. Now he looks back to 2015 form he could easily pick up the title next year

I log in pretty much everyday contribute where I can (assisting in creating the weekly game day threads etc) but yeah I feel with some threads better just reading. Good to see you back PedroArvy.

Then we'll have a diabolical bottom 7 or 8 in the team.
