There's no disgrace in being beaten by a few goals from a well polished, highly professional outfit, with a great history that is the Suns. Your thoughts.

Posted (edited)

Forget about the score, the worry was the refusal to run, chase, lead, man-up and shepherd.

The Suns should have won by more.

Again, Watts just floats around and is so soft that it's actually embarrassing.

We played poorly and got crucified by the umps and still only lost by 8 points. We can beat a number of teams in the comp this year.

Not all positive. Jack went back to square one. Today we got the disinterested, pea hearted version. There's no sugar coating it. Some of the chase attempts were disgusting.

Need I say more about Jack Watts?

Wish he'd get a long term injury

...

sucks so bad to lose

But that would have been a 100 point ;loss last year

baby steps

true, but work still to be done at selection, & by the development coaches @ Casey.

still plays like a point guard basketballer.

Jack Watts, you can tackle, & get tackled in this game. Just in case you hadn't realised yet.

oh, & chase; when your opponent is running off with the ball you just coughed up. 'just sayin'.

It's really inspiring that they can give that kind of output without extracting beads of sweat for over 100mins of football...

So 3 out of 4 is a positive result... a credit, indeed (at least it was when I was at Uni). Thank God for the AFL's standardization...

It's currently not positive, but it can be as early as 2015. Yes, sadly my fellow supporters, it's another year over for the demons. Paul Roos, some who would truely think he answeres to 'masih', needs time. Its in my personal opinion Roos should execute a mass killing by October. The following names should be thoes who suvive this exodus: Hogan, N. Jones, Salam, Watts, Toumpass, Dawes, Viney, Trengove, Tyson, McKenzie, Dunn, Cross, Garland, Michie, Vince, JKH, McDonald, Grimes, Gawn, Howe, Fitzpatrick, M.Jones and thoes drafted in 2013.
Simple as that. Trade players with any wealth:
J.Frawley - 1st Round pick

S.Blease - 4th Round pick?

L. Tapscott - pick in 4th round?

Finish 16?

Pick 3: Best midfielder (inside, tough)

Pick in 1-20 (Frawley): Forward backup for Dawes and Hogan

Pick 27ish: Key Defender to replace Frawley's loss

Pick 45ish: Key midfielder

Pick 63ish: Best available

Pick 70ish (Blease): Best available

Pick 70ish (Tapscott): Best available

We need to keep Frawley - if you think we should trade him you're one of the classic MFC supporters who thinks the draft is the answer; it is not. Frawley is actually a big part of the answer.

Who would pay anything for Blease or Tapscott? They can't even develop VFL-level form.

As for the rest, let's leave that kind of discussion until the end of the year.

I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

That happened right in front of me. He is alarmingly fragile in the contest. It's astonishing. And it's not through a lack of strength. He completely disregards the opponent and plays and moves like he's a man playing against under-12s. The guy needs a reality check. VFL reality check.

I really think that video is a bit unfair and a disgrace from us supporters.

He was really bad today, Watts, but that passage of play isn't that bad and it would have happened to 15 others today.

At least he laid a tackle today! We had 5 players notch up a big fat 0 in the T column. People give it to Watts partly because he deserves it, but partly because they're biased. He was not the only player today to play poorly, so why is he the only one to get shamed on YouTube?

Yeah I got that vomit taste too now that you mention it. Jesus what a joke! I am behind words right now, I need to rinse out that taste!!

Because he comes with a higher expectation being a higher draft pick. Like it or not, high draft picks are supposed to have at least good football skills and smarts. I don't see this with Watts but we had the opportunity to trade him and we didn't.

There are no positives. The 2nd Q was a disgrace.

We should have won the game. Now we sit 1-4 with a full strength Swans waiting.

With more gut running and tackles we could have been 2-3.

But we are not.

If you genuinely do not think there are any positives, just give up and leave us all alone WYL. Seriously.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
