leave it to deever

I get where you are coming from. Most supporters overate the players level of skill. Its part of the fun and passion of footy. The troubling aspect of the swannies game was the so much of the time there was footage of players not chasing. Also too many tackles were shrugged off. This isnt about level of skill. Anyone can run and tackle. Did it look like we gave it everything we had so as to secure a spot in the finals of the worlds greatest game? Did not look like it to me.

We certainly dont seem to learn very quickly or grow from our previous errors. With the exception of a few and we all know who they are, most of these blokes turn up for a paycheque and thats it. Dont worry about us supporters who cobble enough for a membership. Oh well I guess thats on us.

This seems very accurate with Weid and Trac being 2 that come to mind. We can't be alone though. Jackson seems an exception thank goodness.

I dont use facebook but public naming and shaming players on such a major social platform is not good. But I suppose its kniw different to what mpi st of us (guilty as charged) have done here on demonland. There are a few posters much more levelled headed than myself thay do refrain from dissing players. Perhaps players should not come to demonland but its harder for them to avoid fb. Its not easy for supporters of this club not to get frustrated and hence call out non performers. I havent any answers but I having vented I feel better. Much like naming players after that horrible swans loss. I could say Ill try not to do it but I know I probably still will.

Tx Trac for all your passion and hard work. Congrats.

Agree with all these players but would add Weid. Its sad its such a small number.

Just no.

I would suggest rocking up to this northern city a couple hours before the siren reflects poor prep. Agreed on flakey skills. Our tackles didnt stick, players didnt chase, poor positioning and shocking instinctive hospital airtime handballs when we had a breeze behind us. The swans flooding our frwd zone when we had the wind didnt help.

FIAT 750 Fix it again Tony.

ANB NQR

Especially when your down to only 2 disposals for the whole game. At the very least you can lay a few heavy tackles to get involved.

Agreed. I reckon this would impact any team. We looked off at first bounce. Game prep....mind set is crucial.

Reminds me of 2018 and not spending enough time in Perth.

Agreed he gets another for sure. I was dissappointed he and melksham laid zero tackles though. When your struggling to impact tackling is what you start with.

Blow torch.

From that team we could do well removing Viney OMac ANB Wagner Melksham Smith Spargo Harmes Jones Thats half a team.?

Id be surprised if Gawn, Trac, Oliver and May have not considered leaving. Another season down the toilet. Thanks to the above players and a shout out to Langdon. I really do wonder at times like this about the future of this club. I can imagine another decade of this and then most of us just pack it in. And rightly so. There is a lot of anger in many posts and I really think after that insipid shambles it is totally justified. Its a tough call because I feel the best way to send a message is to not renew our mships but we shoot ourselves in the foot.

Used to think do as well but maybe we are all biased.

And still a poor said shot on goal. And gee we had our chances...frittas spray and poster. Jones passing at the 35m mark.

Nope. Too easy let off. Zero tackles sums it up Im afraid. Same as Melksham. Zip bw the 2 of them.?

We cant rely upon Jackson and Weid. What if one is injured again? What if one has a tmac slump? Weid isnt a sure thing yet and Jackson hasnt played enough. We have no proven goalsneak and Melk is woeful and fritta shaky. Rather than chasing another defender please lets get a gun ff and score some goals. We can afford one if we dump the 10 players that dont contribute.

Id add ANB as an out as well. And Fritta if we had someone to replace him with. In all seriousness, there are quite a few list cloggers about.

Honestly the ammount of time the players instinctively wanted to handball it off without thinking you would think the ball was smothered in covid.

As hard as this seems, I wish I could give it 2 likes.

Perhaps we should have flown up yesterday. Maybe it was a covid issue. We never had a look in. So many players just wanting to give it up with hang time handballs too easy to intercept. The lack of chasing was disgraceful. Maybe deep down on some sub cockle level we kinda thought this would happen. Its the blinding passion and my own fault for thinking we were final contenders. We beat 3 bottom teams, got smashed by the dogs and just scraped in sgainst the saints. Our foward line is a huge issue given how we dominate the inside 50s. Weid has been promising but in hindsight seems to play in patches and goes missing for chunks Except in this crucial event he was MIA all night. Despite Spargo's good return, he has been below par. Fritta cant seem to kick anymore and doesnt apply enough pressure Melksham should be delisted. Still no proven crumber. I know Jacksons injured but we have been caught short with options given tmacs 2 year slump. We cant rely solely on Weid. My kingdom for a big name at ff. Wagner...Smith...Jones...omac..harmes....anb??? Viney had a shocker. At least Langdon has been a shining light this year. This loss really hurts.
