We ran out to enter sandman, I wish I could go to sleep, the bloody players are. Another year of pathetic, insipid shite. Thank f%*k for Viney, other wise I'm might just go postal.

[Hellish Inferno 992]

Blease on for Tapscott please

[Hellish Inferno 992]

They don't know how to man up properly and prevent uncontensted marks. Poor work rate

[wattsup 470]

Jack viney leading ball winner on ground if we were a serious side that shouldn't happen kid is a gun 21 players could take a leaf out of his book

[Jack7 463]

This is very poor coaching by Neeld.Far too many uncontested mark after uncontested mark,we are giving them too much space.

When the opposition get the ball,we have to be shoulder to shoulder all over the ground so they have to kick to a 50-50 contest,that's how Swans beat the Hawks in the GF.

We are not manning up and the ball is moving uncontested down the field for too many goals,Neelds fault.

Thank God for Viney and M. Jones.

Post match conference predictions:

We're the third least experienced list in the afl

We're still well behind Afl standard fitness levels

We were missing Dawes and trengrove

Any other excuses?

[Wormburner 674]

I'm near our interchange box and all of our players when coming off are pacing the boundary, looking spent. Port on the other hand fresh as daisies.

[Deecisive 1,674]

woeful

[The heart beats true 16,711]

Maybe Jack Viney can take a mentoring role with Colin Sylvia. Teach him how to make a genuine effort and keep working.

[pringle 42]

Do I have to wait until after the final siren to slash my wrists or can do it now B)

[leucopogon 1,494]

Afl app ads during the half time break are streaming perfectly, wonder why the game isn't? Like watching a smear of garbled pixels for the most part.

[Parma 28]

Sorry Iay have missed a preseason injury but can someone tell me why Tom McDonald is notout there?

[Pipefitter 2,085]

Should we start the post match discussion thread now?

[Hellish Inferno 992]

To be fair Sylvia hasn't been too bad, far from our worst. But hopefully he and a few other senior players can turn the game in the 3rd

Matt jones and Viney easily the best with clark. To many not having a crack. To f u c k e n lazy. If you dont want to work hard then f u c k off somewhere else

[bing181 8,359]

Don't understand the Neeld comments ... as above, this is just about poor work rate, too many spectators.

Haven't minded Matt Jones for a first game, doesn't look out of his depth.

[Deecisive 1,674]

need to man up, stop playing a spare man in defense as that gives them a spare man everywhere else that is killing us. Swap some of these players around, preferable swap someone off and bring on Blease he may at least help give us some run. its going to be another disappointing year with this sort of commitment, I can see another major clean out coming at the end of the year if these guys dont lift their game.

[What 18,810]

GIllies and Sellar are terrible

"I want us to be the hardest team to play against"

-Mark Neeld, sep 2011

Right now we're the [censored] easiest team to play against.

Ankle.

Supposed to be a 2 wk injury, happened a month ago.

I'd be happy for Jack Viney to take on the mentoring of the whole side at the moment.

Played at Casey yesterday, was OK apparently.

[olisik 4,060]

Players missing should never be an excuse. Ffs every team has players out. We will probably almost never have our best 22 available

[Robot Devil 1,895]

Port's leg speed is making us look woeful. Need to run harder or we are going to be average this year. Sadly Rodan looks like our fastest today. At least until Blease gets subbed in.

Viney looks good though. About 14 touches and a goal to half time.
