Ooohh, and its a bad loss.

Gut-wrenching is the only word I can think of.

I made a call of contenders after the Freo game; not sure after that performance

Our forwards kicked 3 out of our 9 goals.
Fasolo missed a couple as did Blair and white.
Cloke didn't even have a shot.

Thank f@@k for our midfielders ability to kick goals coz our forwards struggle
On a regular basis

It's called class and composure, and we don't have it. Can't have the likes of Toovey, Brown and Frost all playing together with only Moore, Langdon and Williams to help. Need Reid and Scharenberg so badly in defence it's not funny. We get ZERO composure out of D50, and very little inside F50. This team needs to evolve to weed out straight out blue collar and balance it with more class. JDG will help...

We lost it at the selection table,pure and simple.Way too top heavy for those conditions.And if Buckley is serious about winning a premiership,he's got to recruit some players with SPEED.We must be the slowest team in the competition,surely.It's all very well to win the contested ball,as Buckley wants,but when the ball gets out in the open,the other teams cut us to pieces.It happens every week.I don't know why he can't see this.

So many here are decrying the possiblities of our team. This loss was gut wrenching in the extreme. In my view because it largely resulted from incorrect balance of talls/runners.
I hold Nathan responsible for this incorrect appraisal, and whoever advises him on developing the weekly gameplan. We need to be far better. Tonight we had about 2 too many talls. He needs to do far better than this
We were also not on tonight. Skill errors in delivery smashed us.
I think that this critical imbalance of talls/runners was the reason we started so badly. Credit to the ferocious determination and grit of our team that we fought back.
But lets be brutally honest. Had they slotted all the opportunities they had, we would have been gone far earlier
The assumption that we can take advantage of a weakened defence is totally unwarranted, because we need to get the ball there. That is the lesson Bucks needs to assimilate. Overconfident in the capacity of our midfield, I would say.
More reflection required.

JDG was the only thing that I enjoyed by the end of the day.... He is Effort + composure = exactly what we need more of

Guaranteed loss then. We never 'turn up' in these types of games. The opposition always comes out stronger, just like tonight.

Good fight but 1st Qtr cost us tonight basically not on the park and then had to work twice as hard just to get back.

Pretty much; 26 point deficit to makeup, we got to 23

Please watch the last 3 weeks games again... then watch the same games from this time last year. You cannot be serious?

Still waiting for someone, anyone, to give me an explanation as to why we didn't man up the loose man in defence in the last quarter?

Maybe the reason we were able to get 18 I50s in the last was because we outnumbered them at the contest. And why are players kicking it into the F50 choosing to blaze to a 2v1?
