GAMEDAY - Round 23

[Lord Travis 10,461]

Midfield getting smashed again for second week in a row. Get Jones out of the back line and into the guts coaches!

Anyone saying we don't need more midfielders is wrong. Our midfield still can't compete consistently and we need more experience in there.

It be nice if Hogan did something to. He's taken less marks from more opportunities this year, kicked less goals and stopped bothering to lead or tackle. On form he shouldn't be playing AFL at the moment. Needs a rocket. Hoping it's not a sign he's checked out mentally and is going to leave.

Nobody wants to spend next week getting scans or be in hospital when the Beers are cold and the Plane Tickets have been booked and paid for...

[jane02 3,676]

Tim Watson's commentary is doing my head in.... I thought Dwayne was bad.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,065]

GUTLESS!!!!

[deanox 9,662]

2 free options ignored, kicked to a 1 on 3 in the forward line.  Sums up that quarter. 

[demon4eva 110]

This is how we are saying good bye to someone who spent three years with us.

Soft. Limp. Midfield is rubbish. Gonna be a long day and a long pre season. 

WHAT A WONDERFUL MOVE IT WAS DROPPING OLIVER!!

[DeeZee 7,296]

Carried on where we left off last week.

Pathetic efforts to tackle and not prepared to run hard.

really disappointing end to the season, you'd think they'd want it more.

[Nasher 33,607]

Great start Dees! Highly competitive effort. Well on top, keep it up!

So do I keep watching, or call time on this season?

[What 18,810]

Getting flogged by a 2 man team.  Sad.

[Coq au vin 755]

Here comes another record loss at the cattery.

The other guy is worse. Can't put the sound down, because I'm watching with someone else.

We're being beaten by a side pushing for a top 2 spot.

If you're surprised by this so far then you're not very bright.

So you expected this? With your optimism levels generally, I doubt it.

[whatwhat say what 22,142]

Jones of the N variety gone with a hammy too?

 

Could be a triple digit result easy.

[Emerald 1,744]

Got the starting time mixed up and only tuned in for the last three minutes of the quarter,

I'm glad I missed it.

If Hogan has checked out he can just go. I can't stand these young pre madonnas. You're a nobody Hogan. You had one good season and your ego is far bigger than your skills set right now. 

We are walking on eggshells trying to please him while he's walking around like he's entitled to only put in efforts when he feels like it. 

Shithouse attitude!

[praha 11,120]

Our worst first quarter for the year.

[At the break of Gawn 4,419]

Please stop wasting forward 50 entries on Weids - he's in his 3rd game against one of the most experienced back lines.

Jones done his hammy

Tom Mac getting a fair old touch up.

Oh well i enjoyed 2016 while it was fun.. Players are already have their minds set on mad monday.

Tommy Mac is not at fault. It's right in front of us. The midfield has been insipid.

[John Crow Batty 8,778]

Even the commentators are alluding  to 186.  Hmmmmmm....

please wake up players.

One team playing for something. One team playing with no purpose and plenty of self preservation. Say what you like but mindset will always be different when you are actually playing for something worthwhile. 

Showing how important this game is by starting with no Jones or Vince in the centre square summed it up at the first bounce. 

 

[Lord Travis 10,461]

I expected them to put up a fight for Roos' last game as coach. The effort in that quarter was pathetic. Never seen so many limp tackles.

I did, actually.  I was hopeful we could put up more of a fight, but our season is done, while the Cats can get a Top 2 spot.  Their effort levels and pressure reflect this.  They are working far harder than us.

Again, I'm disappointed, but not surprised at all.

[Nasher 33,607]

Would settle for the margin not growing any further.

Please don't get belted.
