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. Par for the course Quote

chook fowler 19,769 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 There are no adjectives left to describe how I feel about what has been dished out this season. Surely there has to be a response from management because membership will be decimated, as it should, unless radical changes are made. 1 Quote
bing181 9,472 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Given the team we had on the park, I'm just not sure what people were expecting. Seriously. We had a midget forward line with 2 actual forwards in it, is the lack of conversion from I50's a surprise? People should stop looking for clever reasons as to why we're performing badly. We have 17 players unavailable, including some really key players at both ends of the ground, and we're putting what is largely a VFL-quality team on the park. Surprise surprise, we're losing - and at times, losing badly. 8 1 Quote

Hope so but it is huge ask, AND would require firstly admitting that the game plan, such as it is, is seriously flawed and needs a total rejig. Then we need some hard [censored] Clarkson like coaching with NO excuses accepted. Could be done if the troops really want it. Wont hold my breath though, as I don't want to suffocate. Quote

Did not once pot them at all. In fact I gave praise to Chandler that at 3 qtr time he was showing our more experience players because he was leading our tackling count. Get ya [censored] facts right Oliver and ANB are borderline nearing 100 games mark and should be be playing like they taking the game to the next level.

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? Gawn did not dominate. His worst game for the year 1 Quote
YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,819 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Pert walks into the club like he owns the place, thinking he's on a dead set winner, low and behold he's bitten off more than he can chew. He's way over his head. Running Collingwood was a stroll in the park. He's a down hill skier, needs everything to be smooth sailing to perform. Not an ounce of ticker in him. 2 Quote

I’ve been saying for ages that this is worse than the Neeld says, said it half a season ago. In the Neeld says we had pretty much no good players. We have a lot of decent players in this team and. We are not much better off, in fact I rate this worse. Neeld teams had nigh on zero skills. This team should be much much better. That they’re not is a disgrace. Quote
olisik 4,060 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Hope Goodwin does a Neeld and brings Jones to the presser. He escapes all the scrutiny as captain Quote

These guys haven't even seen what might happen if they genuinely compete in the physicality stakes. I'm not kidding when I say the fact that there are still people in the MFC community who think what we are being served up is acceptable is the absolute root of everything that is wrong with this football club. 1 Quote
monoccular 17,760 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Anyone who actually had the mental toughness to watch the whole game - 1. How did Chandler go? I see he lead the field in tackles (9 on debut, equal with Viney and 7 more than the other co-captain). 2. Did Max get any ruck relief at all? 3. What went wrong with Bailey Fritsch - looked ok at the start? Injured? Quote

At the break of Gawn 4,511 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 I’m 33, which might be young to some supporters on this page, and started following us in 1996. This is without a doubt the worst season I’ve experienced. The disappointment after so much hype is just absolutely crushing. Something really stinks with this club. There’s something rotting and I really hope this internal review yields something. 6 Quote
