GAME DAY - Round 16

[What 18,810]

LOL @ this footy team

ONE GOAL IN A HALF OF FOOTY

We are still the worst team in the AFL, and by a long way

[praha 11,240]

Game over. Freo have upped a gear.

[Little Goffy 14,639]

Ow, and ow, and OW.

Just thinking 'Docker's aren't Essendon, and we are kicking for goal like Essendon'.

Strangely, I still don't feel like abandoning hope just yet. Is that the 'new Melbourne' way?

[What 18,810]

Freo resting Pav and Hill and still making us look like the VFL standard trash side we truly are

Has been one of our best IMO.

Midfield again. We are just woeful winning and moving the ball.

I forget how poor we are sometimes. Comfortably bottom 4 team still. Sad but true.

That missed goal was [censored]..I never had confidence in him kicking it but kick that and the scores 17- 21, now look at it

[praha 11,240]

Grimes being out marked was the start of the end. He's good when it doesn't matter, bad when we need him most.

[Viney+Brayshaw+Hogan=Flag 32]

Stop [censored] up my weekends u bunch of [censored]

how he is captain of out footy club I will never understand

[Yossarian 1,820]

This is much harder to watch sober.

P.s. you're a pos hh. An emotional weed.

[The HuLK 139]

Can somebody please explain to me why and how Jack Grimes gets a game... His the most useless player in our team. Weak, no skill, can't kick.. Can't mark, can't lead... FFS

[demoniac 1,336]

Pops over to Nafan Buckley coaching mega thread on Pies Big Footy for some light refreshments.

[chook fowler 19,533]

Against Freo 28 points may as we'll be 60.

[Nasher 33,617]

What a frustration we are at times. Would love to see the "opposition goals from errors" stats from this year and how much it accounts for the scores.

I'd say way well over 50%. Prediction, 65%.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Seriously, watch a replay of all their goals back to back, and bar the one coast to coast goal, every other one has come from us turning it over coming out of defence. Amazingly infuriating.

[Moonshadow 17,677]

The Freo midfielders look so much stronger than our guys. Saw Muzungo (sp?) out mark Grimes and it just looked like a 3rd grade kid against a 6th grader. Mundy, Fyfe, Crowley, all big, solid guys. Sylvia looks light compared to them, yet for us he was big bodied.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,233]

Our effort is there but we are setting up to limit the loss not win the game and the players are playing accordingly. Jack Grimes has done some good things but his lack of body strength for someone who has been in the system for so long should be enough to have Misson sacked. If we seriously want to try and win sub Gawn now as we have gone in too tall once again.

So 2013.

[chook fowler 19,533]

You can't keep playing Salem for a handful of possessions per week. We're 1 man down. It's been the same for weeks now. Just don't get it.

[dees189227 12,398]

bloody hell. Down at half time and essendon lead port by 4 goals. What a crap night.

[Whispering_Jack 30,640]

We also have no forward line.

Sigh.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

13 inside 50s in a half that is absolutely pathetic

Grimes and Dawes miss from 15 metres gee we really need that fellas

about 14 of 21 are doing nothing so far

[Deemotivated 550]

Might as well just go hell for leather and take the game on... If we turn it over so be it. We prob would've anyway!

[Axis of Bob 11,841]

Yeah, we turn the ball over a bit. That's because we lack class.

I love it how the emotional flakes here react like it's a sudden realisation.

I love Roos, and far be it from me to question him, but just once I would love for him to coach to win this season, not coach to drill an education and hope we might win.

Going too tall, sticking to the same rigid structure etc... it's frustrating when it's hindering our ability to win.

Although turning the ball over again and again is actually what is killing us most.
