GAME DAY - ROUND 14

[Guest KingDingAling]

To my eyes, Trengoves looked a bit chubby this year.

All year aswell, he should strip some kilos - probably why he has lost his pace.

[Jonesy!!! 27]

we have sellar, martin, spencer, garland, rivers, howe, sylvia and yet we have absolutley NO! presence up foward, how is this even possible?

bewick, redden, rockliff,hardwood, golby are just roaming around by themselves

i know they have had injuries etc, but a club like wc, geel, syd would of had strauss, gysberts, morton, watts, tapscott, trengrove, into ALOT more than they are currently outputting, some improving but would be far more advanced at other clubs, frustrating that a mediocre club with no support in brisbane is ripping us apart.

Getting beaten is one thing, but showing nothing is beyond me. No possession chains, no zone, no press, would love to see our KPI board at 3quarter time and see how far behind we are compared to a decent side.

Wow, I didn't expect to win today, but wow, just wow.... Really average effort, and even with my low expectations I'm starting to get angry

Get straight up Watts, when you lay a tackle, dont be content, get up, chase the ball - lay another tackle.

Its what annoys me about Watts, show some desperation!!

[The heart beats true 18,144]

I believe you mean 'annus' but what you said actually works even better.

Nope. That was no spelling mistake ;-)

We have had nothing go our way since February. It's becoming absurd. Can we just give up on this year now? Nothing good will come from getting beaten by below par sides. I vote we just come out and say we are playing our kids and winning isn't even a thought.

[BIG JIM 508]

It's hard to watch your team get smashed by a team of spuds.

What does that make us?

[Hells Gates 505]

Tanking obviously!! Picks 2 & 3 here we come! GWS won't be able to bid.... :-)

He's slower than McLean and can't kick as far. Hopefully he is injured.

[Choko 493]

I see your point, but do you reckon 2 of these guys have much improvement to come? Nicho has some handy tools and his development should continue but I suspect the other two are pretty much at their limits.

You shouldn't forget just how big a spud Jamar was before he became good. Sandilands was a big awkward giraffe until mid to late 20s. Way too soon on Spencer. WAY too soon. Nicho you agree. Magner is a grunt player. Put a good midfield around him and let's see. In the meantime, he is still learning.

my god we are ordinary

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Disappointing thus far.......and meek.

Where's that Neeld shut down plan?

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

What a disgraceful quarter.

Players dropping their heads. Pathetic skills and no accountability.

Brisbane just get that ball to the outside as all our mids get sucked into the ball and contest, and then they just march it down the field with barely a fingernail being layed on them.

Matthews: 'Ben Hudson will be a better recruit than Mitch Clark' Matthews, YFI.

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Wow we are bad.. Worst list in the comp?

Haha yeah he's not spot on with recruiting, but he does have 4 premierships so I do listen to his coaching insights..

[titan_uranus 25,042]

Terrible quarter. Too many players are giving nothing. I really thought these kind of performances were behind us, I thought the last month since the Carlton game had shown that we'd progressed beyond this.

I'm done with Bate and Dunn, Spencer has gone nowhere in 5 years (who's fault is that? I don't know. But he's gone nowhere at all) and Moloney is a waste. Let's take a look at Davis and/or Cook, let's give Morton the rest of the year to show himself, let's give Gysberts a game, maybe Bennell to try his hand for the rest of the year too. No benefit from playing these four spuds.

[Biffen 12,944]

Bye bye Brent,

Like a headless chook with a sore toe,

You were great till Bailey went,

And now you're way too slow.

I think the game plan is being taken out of context a little bit here though. Unless there is a better option in the corridor a team should always kick down the lines. You get killed on the corridor turn overs these days. Yes, we're getting killed anyway, but I'd much prefer to instil a thoughtful and disciplined set of team rules. We simply don't have any class in the midfield. The most important position on the ground. We need leg speed there and good decision makers with good skills. Blah, blah, blah. We know it all.

[Biffen 12,944]

He has about ten-but he still gets it wrong.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

this is bad but I would make at least 8 changes for our best 22

Also calls Trengove Trengrove. Jesus he's an infuriating spazadonis.

[Biffen 12,944]

I just put the razor balde down-go Sammy.

[beelzebub 23,382]

Get Belase off......cant have anyone on the field who actually knows where the sticks are ffs !!
