POSTGAME: Rd 22 vs Sydney

[McQueen 17,864]

The complete apathy I have for this club is near equivalent to that of the Neeld years. 

I’m feeling so lost and low right now. 

Even with all of the injuries we have, there is something stinking so badly at this club.  

[DemonOX 8,551]

2 teams with nothing to play for and we get smashed. 

Says it all really. 

No game plan, no pride, no heart and no hope. Awesome work dees. 

[SaberFang 7,141]

Pert and Goodwin need to [censored] off and reinstate some semblance of competence to this club. We're beyond a laughing stock -- we're just utterly irrelevant.

I won’t be buying a Membership early this year. 

The Club can ring me and Beg next year, i am sick of giving this Club Free Money, when the do not care or respect it. 

Enough is Enough....

F$&@ You

They will be doing alot of begging in 2020 by the sounds of it, Club and supporter relations at an all time low.

[John Crow Batty 8,313]

Missed the game. Just checked the final scores. This is my guess how we played.

Had more inside 50’s.

Gave away easy gimmie goals.

Gawn dominated but midfield pantsed.

Missed easy set shots.

Captains played like spuds. 

Consistently turned the ball over.

mindless bombing into forward line.

Am I wrong with my guesses?

Yep - I agree. Something seriously wrong.

I have said that all year and certain people on here have attacked me for it. 

Something has seriously stunk since Preliminary Final Day last year, something apart from what we have been told. 

Board Level, Club Level, Football Dept. could be any of those 3....

[rufus 930]

My favourite part was when the players just decided to start trying to take hangers at the end (Harmes especially). I guess they have busted their guts up to this point so they were due a little bit of fun.

Liked the Lever acquisition but he has zero ability to compete in a one on one. Nathan Jones has been a great servant but he is no longer AFL standard and he has gotten very lazy. Time to move on. The kicking for goal I have no words for. Viney maybe just isn't a good league footballer. The overall ability to compete in the air is an embarrassment to everyone linked to the club.

 

[olisik 4,060]

Look who we can trade and hit the draft for next 2-3 years. Our list is cooked

[AaronDaveyChipsAndGravey 390]

Ive never seen so many players that disinterested in playing a game of footy in my life. Period. Not that I can blame them, Goodwin looks as if he hasnt had a clue since the qualifying final last year...

It needs to happen. Tipping Point has been reached....

But they do. The question is where and why has it disappeared.

That kids bleeds red and blue. What has happened to this group?

It certainly looks like the coach has lost them, or vice versa.    

Either way it will be another ugly and depressing (for us all here) year in 2020 unless there are massive changes in staff, in game plan (assuming we have actually had one) and in passion and dedication.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,032]

Skills have been missing all year for whatever reason. BUT WHERE THE HELL IS THE PRIDE?

I thought we were building a brand!??!

[Demonsone 1,666]

Swans had 9 players under 50 games & win on the road by 9 goals... either players don’t care or Coach is a joke!

Petraccas looking disgruntled when on the phone to the coaches said it all. They have lost the players.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,012]

Hibberd is shot only a shadow of the player he was.

Has any team ever wasted inside 50s as much as MFC?

Tonight 53 point, 9 goal loss, with ten (10) more I 50s.

How bad is our structure?    Goody, please answer.

Lucky we spent two trade periods turfing out our entire forward line while recruiting overpaid key defenders that cost us a fortune in draft currency and can't even get on the park. Sheer brilliance from the geniuses in list management.

[rufus 930]

The commentators are still running the company line of excuses for the MFC? Why??? Why won't anyone just call this club out for what it is? I guess it's because we are a nice play thing for other clubs in the competition, and you wouldn't want to disrupt that. If you're struggling and want an opponent that you can beat on pure effort, circle the Demons on the fixture. It's a nice fallback for other clubs.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,032]

Is it possible to train/instill pride during the off season?

Agree.   Goodwin (should be renamed Badloss) talks of loss of connection between mids and forwards - he has yet to admit total loss of connection between the club and those who prop it up, us supporters.

Genuine question, if we perform like that again next week could we actually see Goodwin sacked?

Definitely

Not with Jones and Viney there.

Look at Cripps, bottom of ladder for years and always punches through in games regardless on how the team is going. Viney and Jones just go to [censored] when the teams down

[leucopogon 1,475]

Another thing that killed us is the extended goal square kick in rule. The number of times Sydney got it past the wing was staggering, on the other hand we can't seem to get it beyond 60m. This club is looking like it's on death row, next year is make or break and I have zero faith in this group of leaderless half-wits.

[Dee Zephyr 18,028]

Harmes tries to break a tackle in the last, gets pinged and 3 Sydney blokes fall on top of him letting him know all about it and not a single teammate steps in. Yeah, Harmes stuffed up but someone step the hell in and help. 

Sydney had a pack mentality tonight, don’t even know what to say about us anymore.

Wasnt the only one. Clarrys flame and spray was something else.

The whole list isnt playing as a team.

This list and club is a shambles yet again.
