GAME DAY - Round 20

[Scoop Junior 3,431]

Was calling for the loose man after the first 4 goals to clog up their forward line and force them to change their plans. All their goals came from quick breaks to an open forward line.

It took us until 8 goals down to make the move! Absolutely pathetic - how many people in our box?

I'm not excusing the players who have been terrible but that is just a disgraceful lack of tactical nous

[chook fowler 19,429]

Yet another game list by quarter time with no goals scored.

Fark this club.

[leucopogon 1,518]

cue in the rack, no such thing as pride at this club

Hello. I’ve been saying this for yonks. Paul Roos is a terrible tactical coach. It’s not that his tactics suck; it’s that he’s not quick enough to change them when things go wrong.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

We'll win from here.....

I don't even care today. Who gives a stuff really, we are just riding out the year now. Dogs are going for Top 4. Stop getting upset by it and understand the difference in what the two sides are playing for.

[DSP 1,488]

It doesnt even hurt anymore

Just numbness.

Given up with 75% of the game left.

Im going to back to those $10 atomic pale ale 6 packs.

[frankie_d 1,471]

8.3 51 to 0.2 2

Hard to know what to say really. PJ must be on the edge of madness here.

Must say the doggied supporters are decent people. They seem to have a full complement of teeth, use nouns and verbs and don't abuse everyone in sight.

[Deecisive 1,709]

we are meters behind all their players and not real effort to run. too slow to move the ball on absolutely gutless effort. do we actually have any onballers in the middle doing anything other than standing around like witches hats

[Demon_spurs 1,818]

I'm sick of Lumumba, he played one good game in r1 and has just made mistake after mistake after that.

[WhyAlwaysMe 237]

why so lazy

[CHF 2,712]

Murdered in the middle and theBulldogs too fast, sure and accurate. Roos need to earn his money this afternoon.

[Chook 15,003]

How bout those Doggies? Wowser.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

People are still watching? I gave up 15 minutes ago.

[bing181 9,189]

Nope. It's like playing geelong on their pomp. Manic running, risk taking. Brilliant to watch

And if they can keep this up, they'll start to get some Geelong-like silverware.

Impressive. Interesting also how a few "hot" players lift everyone else and set a kind of standard that everyone else just follows. We just don't have those players, at least not around the stoppages.

[praha 11,226]

12 months ago, Footscray looked destined for years in the wilderness. Lost experience and gained little in return.

They play to win and don't look for excuses. Genuine flag threat the way they play.

Body language of Dunn, Jones, Howe, Jetta is defeatist and disgraceful.

Until they are all gone, we will be average.

[Seraph 1,824]

Petracca on Twitter before he deleted it:

"Wow"

[Scoop Junior 3,431]

I'm a huge Roos fan but it took way too long then to make the move. You can't just let a team continue to play the game on their terms, you need to react and try to force them into changing their thinking.

[Coq au vin 755]

They're enjoying and having fun. Our guys couldn't give a stuff and are hating every moment.

[leucopogon 1,518]

I'd rather watch Casey play than to see our so called leaders dish up nothing

We could have put 5 behind the ball, wouldn't of helped. Roos isn't responsible for the lack of effort from the first bounce.. Disgraceful effort by the players especially the midfield allow clearance after clearance

I can't help it. I don't know why. Masochistic tendencies?

Honestly sick of the tripe this club dishes up. After wins like against the Cats the players say "yeah we've turned the corner", then to come out and be 49 points down in one quarter???

No wonder this club can't attract members

[bing181 9,189]

Yeah, that one hurts.

Don't start.

Stringer had a serious leg injury, no-one quite knew how or even if he'd be able to get back. We weren't the only ones who passed.
