What a rubbish topic x2

Yep, even after yesterday's demoralising capitulation I still roll my eyes at the hysterical negativity here

Ditto JR what is this thread hoping to achieve aside from casting the net of negativity across the whole club? Forgetting all the magnificent wins we have enjoyed from 2016 when we finally started to emerge from the mire and from 2020 to mid 2024 when we were serious contenders.

People are dark right now, I get it. They need to vent, thankfully there's Demonland!

Time for an update......

I still only rank this #2. The circumstances were horrific but the game meant nothing - just having to beat a lowly Collingwood to make finals for the first time in 10 years then going five goals down after barely laying a tackle in the first quarter deserves more scorn.

Just my thoughts, Its not the loss, or that it was St.Kilda, but the way we lost. No direction from the bench to stop the goals coming. Surely after 2 or 3 unanswered goals we should have stemmed that flow. Then to have Melksham and Kozzy sitting on the pine. And poor Spargo (can tackle) but he is not the quickest.

I just think the team management was to be polite Absolutely Abysmal for this game and a heap of others this year. Rest all the senior players who might stay next year, rest them now and give them another 4 weeks off.
