POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 11

[Samael 560]

You have got to be fucken kidding me? So in 30 seconds after we kicked that goal, Roos had time to call down to the runner to get the message out?!?!? Point the finger at our fucken retarded players & leaders, you're up, get the [censored] behind the ball!!!!!

Enough with the Roos bagging it's the fucken players for [censored] sake!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to read this again.

[Buzzy 992]

What a pathetic finish

3 wins for the year it looks like now.

NO LEADERSHIP AT ALL

Ha. I said we might get 8 wins and everyone at work was calling me a pessimist and disagreeing with me.

but..... MELBOURNE

No one gets how bad we are at making decisions and how very few genuinely good players we have.

[3Dee 1,153]

ANB got to the contest a lot which was promising just didn't quite get the speed of the game, it will come.

[Adam The God 30,539]

Who?

Carlton and Brisbane are both a big stretch with current form.

Well, we'll get St Kilda at the G, Carlton and possibly Brisbane or another one we don't expect. Oh yeah. Essendon. That said, I'm finding the last two weeks very puzzling. They have been so error riddled. We were more efficient earlier in the season. I wonder if they are tiring, but you know what, they don't bloody deserve excise after excuse.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,367]

Someone on BF was talking about the Bombers players being mentally broken by this WADA thing. They said over the last two years whenever they've had bad news off field they've come out fired up on field. However this year is different because they finally thought it was all over before dragged right back down.

They were compared to Theon in GoT - he was held captive by Ramsay and tortured but what finally broke him was when he thought he'd got away, only to be dragged right back in again and it finally broke him mentally. It was the fleeting hope which was subsequently crushed which was the final nail.

That's what this club does to me. Fleeting hope with 41 seconds left only to be pulverised by epic idiocy, 4 errors in 20 seconds that cost the game. Number 1, not manning up in the centre and locking it down. Number 2 not flooding the back line. Number 3 not killing the ball and letting it out the back. Number 4 no one in the goal square. All in 20 seconds.

[censored] this [censored] club. I am furious and the platers should be gut wrenched they let that slip away. Absolutely pathetic.

[3Dee 1,153]

We will beat them in six weeks time.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,167]

Garland, Salem, Frost, Kent, Petracca, Vanders, Trengove*.

Some quality outs. I'm as angry as anyone, probably angrier but let's chill.

[JV7 2,368]

BS. You hear players from every other club say that they practice for that exact situation. It clearly wasn't ingrained into the players, and that sits with the coach. Love to hear who Roos blames this week...

I reckon any footballer who has played at any level would know that once you get up late in a game, you push numbers back. I reckon under 13s would know what to do. The leaders of this side need to take a good hard look at themselves, Nathan Jones was at CHF, as the captain and one of the most senior footballers on the field for us.. He had to be screaming to get back. Thought he was better than that

[Dockett 32 1,239]

We've played some pretty dumb football in the past two weeks. Find the culprits and sack them.

[Adam The God 30,539]

ANB got to the contest a lot which was promising just didn't quite get the speed of the game, it will come.

Don't let their half reasonable stats trick you. Stretch and ANB aren't ready yet. They'll only keep playing if injuries persist.

[dazzledavey36 55,454]

peed your panties in the NAB cup FFS

the problem is you have absolutely no spine

you'll be the first one back on the bandwagon after our next win

And when will that be Einstein?

[DSP 1,488]

Garland, Salem, Frost, Kent, Petracca, Vanders, Trengove*.

Some quality outs. I'm as angry as anyone, probably angrier but let's chill.

A guy thats played a few games, a guy thats payed no games and a guy that hasnt played for years and is most likely done.

Yeah, that fills me with confidence.

[Yossarian 1,820]

I'm with you guy, but it'd be nice to beat a fellow basement dweller and break a few hoodoos regardless.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

Toumpas is playing better than he was, no doubt.

But lets call a spade a spade here. He is as outside as outside gets. Any sort of pressure of physicality and he looks for an immediate hand off.

I don't understand posts like these. Did we draft him to become the next Glenn Archer? He goes when it's his turn to go (see the lead up to Viney's goal), he laid 8 tackles and his foot skills were on show for all to see. 2 excellent goals.

I guess you're just a glass half-empty kind of guy.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Idk about you guys but I will be honestly shocked if Hogan remains a dee in a couple years time.

[titan_uranus 25,050]

Not having a go and don't want to add to the toump bashing but he got caught napping.

That is having a go, and that is adding to Toumpas bashing.

He got caught napping? How about the leaders for failing to do the things identified in Dr Gonzo's post?

Toumpas is playing better than he was, no doubt.

But lets call a spade a spade here. He is as outside as outside gets. Any sort of pressure of physicality and he looks for an immediate hand off.

Whilst he clearly does his best on the outside, you're not watching his clear improvement on the inside. He's developed confidence and an willingness to get his hands dirty and it's making him a much better player.

[Fork 'em 7,008]

Watching this club just makes me feel so forking bad.
Week after forking week.
Year after forking year.

And I try not to abuse the players infront of my kids.
I really do.
But I can't not abuse dumb football.

Pathitic.we are going backwards.this team just does not get it. Time for a clean out of a number of players and give the young kids a go cause clearly there are far too many emotional scares. Starting with Jack Watts.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

And when will that be Einstein?

we'd have won the last 2 if we didn't have an injury list with 9 names on it and that's just a fact

[Yossarian 1,820]

41 seconds. Feel like the version of Gwyneth Paltrow that trips and gets hit by the subway in that movie.

Yeah just what i thought..

[censored]

[What 18,810]

Hogan , Watts and Toump all fired in the same game and we lost to freaking St Kilda

[censored]

[chook fowler 19,668]

We are not going backwards - that would be impossible. Lots to like with the new talent, lot to dislike about the same old NQRs.
