17 points 2 goals In a whole half of footy. Just wow

GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon
This is the best way to put it. Exactly how I feel. Just really sad.

GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon
Hmmm 16 points in nearly a half of footy. I think we might have a serious problem scoring? (Among other problems, ofc) Also, oof, getting ugly. Already. Again.

GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon
Absolutely. How could we? We’re told the team is not satisfied with getting better, and we need to get to the level. We’re not happy etc. You would assume we’d come out firing. Hungry. Desperate. No?? Depressing and really confusing.

Why is our pressure factor always so low, and always lower than our oppo??

The James Worpel Thread
Whether we are looking into Worpel or not (or even whether we should), my bigger question, and the most important one is: Why would he want to come here? What's the sell? We are 2nd last on the ladder (thanks to %), an absolute shambles on the ground, which you think might and should improve, but based on what metric, I don't know. Most of our guys are on the park right now. And we're not exactly destination material for a CEO either. This is the problem with letting a potential dynasty not only pass by, but almost being stomped on. It took us DECADES to be relevant again, because of the cyclical problem of being [censored], and therefore it being harder to attract people who want to win (not sit in the doldrums for their career), and also losing the quality we do have. It doesn't mean we don't have young talent around, we do. But we need senior talent, and it will be hard to keep them, and attract other senior talent to guide the younguns if the don't fix whatever is going on.... NOW, with some hard-nosed, respectable footy so that others look at us and say hey, I want some of that. Because that's not happening right now. This isn't the 60s, we're not a marque club anymore. We're being passed, again, by the Hawks, the Pies (with the oldest list going around), even the Saints look respectable. The Roos will pass us soon, if not already, as shown by the way they completely embarrassed us (to the extent we didn't already embarrass ourselves). I love a trade target chat, but geez I really am not sure who'd be looking at us at the moment. 'Potential' ain't cutting it anymore. Anyway, rant over. Sorry, today is a 'mostly blue' day.

POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
Don’t know why I watch these pressers. I used to like them a lot more when out club was not such a rabble. For the record, losing to the cats over there is no disgrace. The record speaks to that. What sucks is we gave them space all over the ground, about a million more marks, and we look like an amateur footy club going forward. Still. How can we have kicked 4 goals in final quarters over 4 games? With 21 against? We need answers, and a plan, and a huge skill uplift very quickly.

POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
Remember when we monstered these mugs in that prelim? Yeah that memory is fading, and we’re so far off that team It boggles the mind. Anyway, 0-4 (worst start since 2012, a year you might also have forgotten), and this year’s final quarters have yielded 4 goals for and 22 against? Aside from the fact that we have no forward connection, we were out marked everywhere and just lack basic skills and gave them room everywhere . Where to now? Honestly don’t know

Good to see Viney getting into jvr’s ear after that goal, obviously really low on confidence right now.
