You’re right that was an exaggerated tongue in cheek call. But anyone else who was so poor at their chosen profession would be in trouble. He didn’t even try to go back and actually line up for a set routine which I assume he would have practiced thousands of times. Or attempt to pass it on. It’s just inexcusable for a professional paid 6 figures

Thanks for clarifying the comment. :).

Yea, it was shizen.  But imo despite how much you make, humans still make mistakes.  I think anyone is entitled to a really bad day. (He's usually pretty good?) His confidence was clearly shot and a leader should have gone over to him quickly and told him to calm down. But er, does St Kilda have leaders?  

good to see the filth getting their good game for the season out of their system before they play us

elliott is a serious threat as a small forward; hibberd looms as the likely match-up...on the presumption that elliott can get thru the game

Gees its frustrating watching Adelaide. They played out of their absolute skins against us. Such good ball use. This week they are terrible.

He’s on 17.13 for the year. I know he had a lot of health issues last year and I feel for him. I’m sure he would feel awful with that game. But firstly he should have tried to pass when he was on the 50. Do the team thing. And when he took that last mark he just rushed it which was a poor call. Take your full 30. Settle. Give your teammates time to set up behind the ball should you miss. 
But St Kilda have been woeful all year and as you say lack leadership of any kind. 

Jamie Elliot is such a good player. I was hoping so much for him to come to Melbourne. Imagine us with him running around out there in our forward line.

His confidence was completely shot. He played very well throughout the game in terms of leading up and taking marks and was involved in a lot of scoring chains.

He’s a good player. He’ll bounce back I’m sure.

Let's see the Pies get some excitement going and get some momentum going into our match. Pump up the crowd numbers. Also I feel their footy department is just waiting for them to snag a win as they can say "see? Buckley, coaching prodigy" and extend his contract.

Could be elite if his body holds up. 
Collingwood isolating him one out in the forwardline is interesting. Wouldn’t work unless they’re winning a lot of the ball and moving it quickly from contests. Hopefully we don’t allow that to happen next week.

If Elliot's body wasn't so brittle he would be talked about as one of the great mid sized forwards. He has great hands and rarely drops a mark. If only the Weid could clunk them like Elliot.

Ugh why aren't Adelaide playing the same way they did to beat us? Where's all this corridor football gone. Watching today it's still embarrassing we lost to them. 

Oh and tex now can't kick goals. 

Am I right in assuming that theirs no one sitting in the first 2 rows at Adelaide because of COVID?

Goal kicking this season has been woeful across the board. It’s embarrassing how highly skilled and extremely fit these athletes are and yet they can’t execute simple shots on goal. 

Crows and the filth is sub standard football. Why oh why are we playing the filth at that sheety scg.

You'd belt him? Ive got money on him taking you on and giving it back twice as bad. I dare say he's pretty cut up and wouldnt hold back. 

Yes i really felt for him tbh. His confidence was obviously shot to pieces and i think he was trying to kick it before he overthought it too much.

Not because of Covid, but because the SA CHO has very weird ideas about potential transmission of Covid.  
 

Back to the game - I saw about 10 minutes on Kayo  - absolutely awful footy both teams.

If Jack Higgins played for us, I would take him out the back and belt him. Disgraceful attempts at goal kicking with the game on the line. Embarrassing stuff. 

"Missy" higgins..... how will he ever live that nickname down now?  haha

Adelaide's backline was terrible that quarter. Just butchered the ball. Come on crows you can't let the pies win. 

hibberd to go to de goey, rivers to elliott or thomas, lever to take the other one, may gets mihocek, petty on cameron / lynch?

i wonder whether they'll look to bring big cox back to try and 'stretch' us for height

The crows performance against us was just a flash in the pan. 

After stealing the 4 points off us it looks like they are going to play the pies into form just before we play them. I'm starting to dislike the Crows.

If Adelaide had kicked straight they’d be 5 goals up. Two absolute scrubber sides. How did we lose to this mob

Calm down ffs. This has nothing to do with continuing the culture of abuse. “Seemingly educated people” would know this.  Speaking of which your last sentence reeked of aggression so yeah, pot/kettle. Please don’t use nastiness to make your point. 

now to smack em* on queen's birthday at the (sc)g

*grind them down as is the mfc way in 2021 where they think they're in at at half-time and then kick 2 goals to our 8-10 in the second half

I know this won’t be popular, but it’s a good thing Collingwood won

1- Takes some pressure off them before next week 

2- Elliot shows he needs close checking and we can learn a lot more from our opponents winning than losing 

3- SA do not deserve to enjoy footy. Bunch of Covid spreading a-holes and what they made Collingwood go thru is a joke. 

4- I hate Adelaide 

Gutsy win by the Filth.  Elliot was superb.  Sidebottom, Pendles and Noble also solid.

I really don't get the eating their own on Buckley.   Took them to within a kick of a Premiership.  They were always going to come off the boil list wise after being thereabouts for so long.
