Well I for one thought the washed out pink uniforms against Sydney's red and whitwme, the tiny suburban ground with no undercover seating, the dreadfully inadequate stadium lights and very limited camera positions all made for an excellent saturday night spectacle between the two great nepo baby clubs.

Guuuut fuuuuul

I'm going to start a political party with the sole message of anti-shabbiness.

Let me add one ... Garry 'genuine sh#t bloke' Lyon's 'commentary'.

Or to keep it simple, just Garry "genuine sh#t bloke' Lyon.

I like to call a spade a shovel type of person ,the commentary overall just didn't cut it through the box ,even when we were in the game .

They sure looked flat footed didnt they. Directly opposed to last week.

Gold coast a one off or Essendon an aberration. Will the real dees please step forward.

Sadly, we have all seen the "real" Dees many times

There is a good reason this club has zero respect from opposition teams and fans - it would be generous to say this group has a weak underbelly

It's not the fact that they lose games it's the manner in which they capitulate and the circumstances in which it repeatedly happens

Steven King's honeymoon is officially over he now realises what it is he has to deal with

Come on Sidyee ,we have the makings of great team there ,The Bombers were due for a win .Give em a break how good was last week .The thing that concerns me and has for a no of years now is we need a true genuine ruckman to give MAX a rest during the game ,not Petty not Van Rooyen who should be left at CHF a ruck man to come off the bench .Max was being worked over and fair enough and the Bombers were roving to him smart coaching and if you get a chance go to the game live what you see and hear on I H A G TV is so much different and you get to see how the game really is and how the boys play and believe me the game is fast now so a mistake or turnover can really hurt .

Waiting to see the game start on FOXTEL 1 .15 pm

lucky you. I forked out the cash to attend gather round for the second year running. Thought I would splash out on the exorbitant PepsiCo package in the Magary room thinking I’d have a nice lunch and my kid could have the hot chips she was craving. Was in a bad enough mood when it had the vibe of a 12 year old disco, got dirtier when the best food on offer was a $23 panini that was made with the cheap 50c supermarket hot dog buns, and got even dirtier when they didn’t have hot chips. So we took off to the food truck area where there was a choice of 3 hot chips ($12 for a pretty tiny serve), and made it back in time to find some seats to see the start, feeling mightily peeved off at the afl, but somewhat comforted that I was about to see the mighty Dee’s shut up all the insufferable bombers supporters surrounding me. Well that didn’t quite turn out how I expected.

All in all, had the exact same vibe from our players as last year. Just didn’t turn up.

My Dear WATSON 11 do you think that those at Totem Pole House give a toss for the people who actually go and watch the game ,this whole Gather Round is wrong wrong wrong ,what is the basis of it why isn't the public involved in any decision making at T P H ,no score reviews at grounds like you just said people can charge whatever they want , this is supposed to be Aust premier competition we the public are treated with total contempt and it only makes it worse when we lose .PS how much did a cost or did they only serve Barrossa Valley rot gut .

I don't find that difficult at any time. The world of AFL is imbecilic. Not alone there, of course... look at the US administration.

The US administration?
Don't have to go that far.
Have a look at ours.
State and Federal.

I've had a gutful.

@Demonland

Seriously, are we gonna let this thread be a thing after every loss?

And if we have to tolerate it (which we really don’t) can we at least get the gutful part of the title right?

TIA

Edited yesterday at 02:381 day by Ghostwriter

As disappointing as yesterday was we probably needed the reality check as without Max and Kozzy we looked a bottom 4 side yesterday.

I have no doubt in time with good drafting/trading King will rectify this but the reality is we will be mediocre for a while.

Hey Ghostie this is not about a loss ,this is about the way we the football public are treated ,do you remember the early days us Dees supporters who could not afford Subscription Tv had to go to a pub to see the game as Melb I remember taking my wife the local plenty of times to watch a game as we were never on free to air tv Now twice on Foxtel game against FFREO was 12 mins in then yesterday I was switching between two channels to see Fitzroy and the Roos no run out just straight into game ,oh yes they showed Jake with his wife and kids at half time ,the public could be in for a bigger shock in the next few years there is Streaming company called DAZN waiting in the wings hope you have big piggy bank .No more gutfulls

Turner will probably suspended for his gut punch off the ball in the third quarter.

The AFL are now handing out suspensions rather than fines for those type of incidents.

Except Collingwood players get a fine for a hit to the head - Disco will get 1-2

Christian is a bloody biased disgrace, and HQ is for keeping him in the role for what seems a decade.

As this the whinge thread, what about Casey having another week off because of some bulltwang state game? There's 22 teams in the VFL, can we not just carry on without the state players for a week?

Actually 21 which is why there are so many byes.

And with Tasmania coming in we will have to get used to it I guess - and I bet Collingwood Carlton EssUndone Richmond will get to choose when they get theirs.

Oh and by the way… I actually don’t have a “big piggy bank” since I had to borrow money to change my flight to an earlier one in order to be at the ground three hours before the match because it was Melky’s milestone and I wanted to be there to set up for it. This was my choice but it cost me more than what the bet paid.

Also, you want something to put this into perspective? I walked into the Adel airport last night with Melky’s kids. Frankie Melksham is only 11yo and she said she hopes her dad’s injury isn’t serious because she wants him to be right to play again as soon as possible. She said the game, the weather and her dad getting injured were terrible things to happen but she’s looking forward to the Dees bouncing back next week. She’s ELEVEN YEARS OLD.

This not about post game it is about us Dees and the average supporter being ignored. pay whatever for Foxtel ,cannot see the full game properly, Ticketmaster ,gee if you have a Dees great like ROD GRINTER being totally exasperated by the way getting into a game .I have not a clue on the out of bounds rule and I hope that thug TOM MCDONALD gets weeks for the shameful act of going for the ball and causing that poor Bombers player to fall on his head .

Kayo sucks every week, Ticketek sucks every week and the OOB rule sucks every week.

Why, then, do you only start this thread after a loss?

GHOSTIE we were watching at home on our FOXTEL we don't have Kayo which I would like to but after paying for both for nearly 2 years by mistake kept th Foxtel in stead of Kayo .And the game came on as the NON BOUNCE started so missing all the pregame stuff that,s all .I .e when I started the original I have had a gut full was !12 mins into the Freo game why beacuse that is when the game came on 12 mins in so I vented .I actually don't give a toss about the losses only they way we lose I have never had a go at a player because I have never played at that level .I care about the Dees and also the state of the game just prior to this post was talking to a Bluey Truscott winner and believe me he has certainly had a gut full of all aspects of the game and how it is run today,.And that stupid video is just childish and immature .
