GAME DAY

[Face Your Demons 175]

Lot of players not putting in. Scully Davey Sylvia even watts having a bad day. can only go one way

[beelzebub 22,716]

Im not so sure Todd wil lbe patting anyone on the back...more like kicking some up the backside.

Im not there ( fortunately , other duties ) bu tId hope for those that are that we come out a little bit re-jigged and with some verve and fervour .

its liek were spiralling tinto the abyss...But why ?

[Jaded No More 59,992]

Different week same [censored]. Unbelievable how absolutely terrible we are. Leadership group woeful. Skills woeful. Fight woeful.

Can this season just bloody end already!!!!

Hmmm... sack Bailey?

This is his legacy. Take that stupid photo off.

[The Lobster Effect 845]

malthouse doesn't envy viney's task.. he reckons

- go one-on-one

- move the ball on your terms before west coast get their players back

[Face Your Demons 175]

The club reported ''general soreness'' as the reason for the skipper being replaced by youngster Daniel Nicholson

That fair he did play a blinder last week. Well I did'nt see him do anything

[demonique 314]

What's clear is that none of the coaches should remain next yr. Neither should many of the senior players. Complete overhaul needed.

Howe doesn't belong at this club.

Why is that? is it because he is too good?

I am in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. Game is live on TV, but I can't bear to watch anymore. I am going out to get some food poisoning.

Interesting isnt it that Malthouse can not only spot our weaknesses but offer the fix. Shame hes not going anywhere next year !!

[Range Rover 1,935]

A genuine leader doesn't bail on his young teammates with 'general soreness'.

Soft as butter.

What is Nathan2jones.com doing in an AFL jumper? Can't kick, can't think, can't play.

Aaron Davey ... what has become of you? You wouldn't get a kick in B-grade ammos at the moment.

[beelzebub 22,716]

Whats what with Watts ?

[Face Your Demons 175]

Very sad so far But the day is young.

[Range Rover 1,935]

Is Col Sylvia actually playing or is he the runner and mistakenly put on a playing guernsey?

[beelzebub 22,716]

Very sad so far But the day is young.

true...still time for it to get very very VERY sad !!

[stranga 328]

Why is that? is it because he is too good?

Yes. Howe has too much heart. Let's hope the club culture doesn't get to him too.

[titan_uranus 23,177]

I don't get why we now no longer have the loose man in defence. This suggests we have recognised it's not working. Which begs the question: why in hell did we use it in the first place? It just makes NO sense.

e25's argument might make sense but by now we should be looking to wins, not to development. I think the coaches honestly think it's a strategy that will help us in that it gives us numbers behind the ball and that suits our gameplan of running of half back.

Fighting back a bit here though. 4 of the last 5 goals.

[Face Your Demons 175]

After last year this is very hard to take. One good point "well as good as i can come up with" as bad as we are, we are just going to miss the finals.

[beelzebub 22,716]

did we just wake up ??..did we think the game started at 2.10 ..lol

Youd only start with a loose man in defence if you have already given up the game in your head. Youre effectively playing catch up footy without a scoer on the board but youve conceded youre going to lose and are hoping to minimise the damage.

Its called SOFT...Its called GUTLESS.

No matter what you HAVE to play a game as though you are playing to win.

[titan_uranus 23,177]

Disgusting selfishness from Sylvia who ignored Dunn then took the shot himself, and missed. Dunn was about 15 metres out.

Now Bartram misses a shot on goal. Again. His kicking is deplorable.

Of course, they then go coast to coast and score a goal.

All of Davey, Morton, scully, jones, Sylvia, batram should be subbed if we could. There are your changes for next week anyway.

Think Viney might have said a few words Sylvia and co.

we were always going to miss the finals.... some simply arent real;ists. Al wel and good to barrack and support at the game.. but with both eyes open and an element of truth added we were never in the hunt.

anyhow..

Go Dees

woohoo...less than 50 behind.. a cracker of a day

[BAMF 3,918]

I was at the local pub watching the game but had to leave at half time.

Dwain Russell was unbearable. Yes. We are playing badly Dwain but there is no need to sink the knife in at every opportunity.

At least when Bruce and Dennis are calling they just rabbit on about how good the winning team is.
