    What would they have to sook about? Out injured for multiple weeks and then straight back in.

      If our midfielders don't do that we get exposed. If we butcher the footy we get exposed.
      Matt Rendell spoke of their concern over Tim’s competitiveness when he was Pies recruiter. If I was a midfielder and the opposition ruck is basically bullying your guy (your ruck is a bit of a symbol in this game) it has to take a toll, especially as you say if the mids aren’t playing well.

      Dunkley is really struggling, wonder if he’s off somewhere.

          Our worst effort since Bevo took over by far. I was listening on the car radio and we'd kicked 3 quick goals. Great. Went inside and we didn't score again for about 45 miniutes. That is lamentable. We were smashed all over the ground. Sadly, there is NOTHING to take away from this game. But don't worry. We will win next week. It's what we do.

            Yeah I may be reading a bit too much into the body language and what appeared to be a lack of effort. They should be grateful for the faith shown in them after long layoffs.
            TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

              I don’t think so, something is off within the group.

                Has it been since they were in the hub in WA?

                    Why does he have to have heard anything? Our putrid performances the last 2 weeks are proof that something is off.
                    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                      Dunkley is struggling for form but I would not be questioning his commitment. He put his body on the line with unbelievable efforts at least twice today where he copped heavy knocks.

                        I swear every year there is talk of something up with the playing group. Seriously have we recruited a bunch of high school teens? Play footy for gods sake and stop with the oversensitivity. God I miss guys like Moz, Boyd, Picko and Clay. What I’d do to get guys like that into our team.

                            Far from an even satisfactory effort today. I'll listen closely to Bevo's presser. Perhaps there is more to this than I'm aware of.

                              He did AP very courageous.

                              He has had wavering commitment in the not too distant past though because he cracked it with the coach, so fair question. He’s fringe atm.
