Look at the ruck contests
Look at the contested marks inside our forward line
Kok at us bringing the ball to ground in our forward line.
Thrashed in every one of the above.
It's not 2018.
Cox is terrible in the ruck. He doesn't have the tank to play the role.
He rarely takes contested marks.
The ball going to ground is because he drops marks. This isn't how the game is played.
If you are a big man, play as a big man.
Getting games into Begg is the right move.

Not sure why people are surprised. Tigers still aiming for a top 4 finish. Pies are genuinely a bottom 4 side. Playing with no Ruckman, sup par mids and a backline that’s really it if form.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

nice try with the late edit.
Yep. Tell me what he brings to the club. He needs to spend a complete offseason in the gym. But he's not Robinson Crusoe there. The Holden Centre gym is used more by the Collingwood netball team than by our guys. Seriously a team of weeds.
Poor old Tyler Brown is simply too one paced, and that means slow.
For a Centerman, it's not an attribute you can cover over a career, unless you're Pendles.
Suspect the only option / hope for Tyler is to fashion himself into a half back flank, third man up type player. Through the guts ain't his go.

Be nice if you knew anything about football instead of constantly talking crap. Lipinski came from the Bulldogs.
Yes I know that. You clown. I corrected it within seconds. So do you want to just flame me or tell me why we are crap as a football side today?
Because we are playing a seasoned afl team and we have more than a few small bodied players who have less than 20 games experience. A ruckman who is playing his second game and we are playing a new game style. We have a s@#t load of injuries, we are where I expect us to be. Have some perspective for f@#s sake.
