June 14, 201510 yr We are seriously slow - need to get some toe into the side. Reckon Garlett is a very lazy footballer - 2 weeks in a row he's done SFA.
June 14, 201510 yr Experienced leaders are our problem week in and week out. We didn't deserve to win. Our leaders went missing when we needed them the most. But honestly, if you're game enough to watch that game again, you'll see we were lucky to be that close for most of the game. Which is pretty pathetic given how even the teams are.
June 14, 201510 yr Why was there not 15 in the backline as soon as Howe kicked the goal? You could see Roosy yelling it into the phone. Surely the players practice this in their drills or at least know what to do? They've played in that many loses, I honestly couldn't see them practising to win.
June 14, 201510 yr My 7 year old: I'm starting to get in the mood to stop supporting them. They're too bad at footy. Gutted. Might have lost a supporter for life right there. Bunch of dumb cnuts.
June 14, 201510 yr St Kilda deserved to win. And how about next time we hit the lead with 40 seconds left, we wait til after the game to get around and start dry rooting each other. Edited June 14, 201510 yr by Forest Demon
June 14, 201510 yr Still cant beat a [censored] Saints team Still cant win at Etihad Cant even win a game thats there for us to win deep into the last quarter We haven't improved under Roos at all. It is a disgrace Last goal was a [censored] disgrace [censored] off Melbourne Edited June 14, 201510 yr by hogans_heroes
June 14, 201510 yr Paul Roos is 99% to blame today We get in front with minutes to go. He doesn't put Jones in the guts. He doesn't put 3 extra back. He does sweet [censored] all. This team is a joke. I've had a gutful. No way... You can not in 40 seconds relay a message to get players back. That is a players driven to push numbers back... This loss is %100 on the players. Roos couldn't do anything
June 14, 201510 yr What a pathetic finish 3 wins for the year it looks like now. NO LEADERSHIP AT ALL
June 14, 201510 yr Again, so much inertia when the pressure is up, and it is the older players feeding that inertia too... We played well but the last was full of sideways kicking and lack of adventure. It is such a shame because a win is great, but this loss will take away from Jimmy Toumpas' excellent game on a very good player in Montagna. But 415 touches for 42 Inside 50s tells you everything...
June 14, 201510 yr Dumb, just so.......dumb. Cannot even fathom how stupid that was. Two games in a row stupidity has cost us dearly. This one hurts more. How do we keep losin to this rabble.
June 14, 201510 yr That whole last quarter no one was forward of the ball. Who do the coaches expect the players to kick it to if there is no one in the forward line?
June 14, 201510 yr Just went outside and smashed up part of my old kitchen that is going ti the tip. At least I can watch Orphan Black now I have cleared the anger out.
June 14, 201510 yr Surely the players DID NOT KNOW there was only 41 seconds to go (& a 4 point lead)!!!??!! Why isn't there some way of quickly letting them know?? Surely ANY forward knows that in that situation they flood the defense! They shouldn't need specific instruction from a couch or leader to flood back when you're ahead with 41 seconds to play! They should already be trained to do that, please.
June 14, 201510 yr Too many VfL players who can't play @ afl level..... I wonder how many goals were from dumb mistakes???? Edited June 14, 201510 yr by Hogan2014
June 14, 201510 yr No way... You can not in 40 seconds relay a message to get players back. That is a players driven to push numbers back... This loss is %100 on the players. Roos couldn't do anything Paul Roos should have relayed the message earlier that if we get in front we flood back. Don't need to wait until after it happens to do it. Come on, it's basic coaching.
June 14, 201510 yr Paul Roos is a Neeld level match day coach If he doesnt fix the culture he should hand back every cent we pay him cos he isnt here for his coaching ability thats for sure
June 14, 201510 yr You can't blame Roos for the lack of numbers back with 40 seconds left. That's 100% the players' fault. You can perhaps blame him for other things if you want, but that can't be one of them. Positives were Toumpas VInce (38 touches to Armitage's 20) Hogan Viney (loses serious credits for the jumper punch) Still very, very disappointed. We better [censored] [censored] these [censored] when we play them at the MCG, and we better [censored] win at Etihad next time we play there.
June 14, 201510 yr Our half forward line in the problem - they can't lock it in and time and time again it rebounds ala Oxley and Gilbert.
June 14, 201510 yr Bunch of [censored] flogs. Can't wait to watch Hogan win the Coleman at a good team. Where was the leadership today? Jones did nothing after the first quarter, Dunn was shocking and H was well beaten. At least Cross puts his body on the line for the team. Really can't be bothered with this anymore.
June 14, 201510 yr Roos? WTF? Coach them to flood, man up the loose player when we hit the front and defend at all cost. Very frustrating. And don't blame the players. If you communicated effectively this wouldn't have happened.
June 14, 201510 yr Obviously if it wasn't for Hogan we wouldn't be in the game but why is it a guy that size and that strong can't kick 50 meters?
