For me it was when she announced Cripps would miss 3 weeks and that she sounded almost pleased. Then all then barracked for them to get to 100.[/quote]After gold Coast kicked their fourth she gleefully states "that's 4 in a row"....... But it wasn't.

Minor detail, but follow the game properly.

So many other female commentators have passed her by. Not her fault but they understand the game significantly better and she doesn’t know how to follow the game at all that she makes shit up as she goes along.

She also hates us. Always barracks against us.

Mostly agree. I think LOB was ok.
Setterfield was good when involved but wasn’t involved enough.
I do think good Martin should be in the team if he can play four quarters but I actually thought he was off injured for the middle two quarters!

I’m keen to check the VFL form, but I’d be keen to get Dow, Stocker and Kemp in whilst also recognising that unless something major has changed, none of these guys will change the world on their own.

Overall, I think this loss was much more above the shoulders than about missing
Pittonet and Cripps. And as far as personnel goes, I think McGovern is the more important piece (ok not more important but also quite important…) structurally.
Which is why I was advocating that we put JSOS in that role even though he did so well forward against the Hawks. We need someone who can read the play and intercept mark marshalling across half back.
But, again, that won’t matter if we are playing half-arsed like we did today. (And, was anyone playing on Miller???)

Always actively barracks against us - even in the AFLW games - she’s a disgrace.

Awful barracker of a commentator.
OK if she's commenting for an Australian team for a parochial national audience, but not for 2 teams within a nation.

Listened to the replay last night. FMD, she is awful.

Fix it Fox

Martin played 77% game time for his 7 marks, 8 kicks and 3 handballs for a return of 2 behinds.

That is not good enough for any senior player. Nothing to do with salary.

Time for a rest IF there's replacements for him....not much in the Ressies: Maher, Hayes and Hirst aren't on our list. Philp is a chance.

I hope we are past playing Newnes.

Cupboard is bare with Carroll, Motlop, Honey all missing and Cuningham a long way from playing.

Disgrace is apt.

Does she commentate on Kayo? I know its all part of the News monopoly, but if she's not....I'm there next time.

Yesterday was a kayo/fox game wasn't it? I think they were calling it from the studio in Melbourne, but the biggest issue was just flat not naming the players "and he's got it and kicked it long and he's crumbed the pack and kicked it to Cripps, I mean Fisher"

Did we not learn from last time how good this guy is? I couldn't work out what our strategy was with him

Where was Kennedy? Maybe Kennedy was (trying to) play a negating role on him?

I agree we need to move past these guys, because I expect a lot more from my wingmen.

The blokes above who didn't rate in Fantasy points were obvious candidates for:

My bottom six this week, in order are:

Fogarty
Owies
Plowman
Martin
Fisher 8th for Fantasy Points
Setterfield

DeKoning and Kennedy were close. Cerra, not much better.

We only had to learn from last week when GWS double tagged him to shut him out and deliver the win.
But in all seriousness, we were always going to have our hands tied without Pitto and losing Cripps so early.

In: Pitto (if fit), Durdin, Stocker, Newnes and Philp (not ready but may need him)
Out: Cripps, Fogarty, Fisher/Setters (depending on match ups) & Martin.

I watched Dow in the 2's and as much as I am an advocate for him, he's not up to AFL standard yet.
He needs to work harder defensively and have more of an impact at contests, he looks at home in the VFL not a step above like Stocker did.

There was a female commentator on Kayo but I really never even thought about it until I came on here and all you sogs are jumping up and down.

I'm in the same boat as you on Dow, but ... I wouldn't "care" if he is selected to replace Cripps, coz Kennedy and Cerra didn't fill me with confidence without Cripps, and its a chance to test our theory on Dow...hey, if the MC pick him, the MC pick him with more IP than us.

sogs ... gotta complain about something after a loss, and she's a sitting duck, or squeaky wheel.

Just to be clear, I knew Martin was on the ground. I was just shocked at how little impact he had that I basically didn’t notice him playing for at least half of the match!

I would have thought last week provided the warning signs for Voss to use, even though we got the 4 pts. (In retrospect, we should have gone on with it after quarter time last week like the Saints did against the Hawks yesterday.)
If we don’t show up with brutal intent and win solidly against Port, than we are further back than I thought.

I do think 3-1 is more reflective of where we are than 4-0 would have been. I’m fact 3-1 is a bit flattering. But we have earned this, now we need to honour that in the next few weeks and also continue to improve throughout the year!!

If they did, it would be great if he came in and stepped it up and deliver what we know he is capable of.
I would like nothing more than to see him explode out of the packs aka Judd like, hitting targets and kicking goals.
Maybe Judd needs to mentor this kid full time.

I doubt they'd put Kennedy on Miller, he's too slow. Kennedy just looked like a player who'd lost all confidence - fumbling and bumbling and having zero impact on the game. Why he would suddenly lose confidence I've no idea. Perhaps against a quicker side without Carlton in control around the packs, he struggles a bit. Let's hope it's a one off.
