If supporters are calling for a coach's head because we're not winning every single quarter or every single game, then half the Club's supporters also need to go for having such little respect for the opposition. NO-ONE in this competition is a 'nowhere team' - not even WC. It's almost an effing miracle to get to a GF these days, let alone win one, and on any given day, any team can beat another. Disrespect them at your peril.
Agree with what you're saying.
I didn't say they should not be respected on the day. You should face every team with respect, it's how not to become complacent and make silly, lazy errors. We are certainly guilty of a fair bit of this in recent times dropping games we should not have.
But that does not mean the Bombers aren't a dud side. Sorry, can't convince me. Eagles, oof. a 71 point drubbing against a side that was seriously struggling. Percentage under 50. The only game they probably feel confident of winning is against us over there. They may be a nowhere team (at least to me), but we were/are worse. At least right now.
The McCrisis Cup, as I hear it to be!

Last week Goodwin banged on about not just wanting to get better…
Were we better tonight, or less than that?
I’m genuinely somewhat intrigued by what he’ll say tonight. But I don’t have the fortitude to watch it. I’m sorry. It’ll be some [censored] that will make my heart sink and blood boil at the same time.
The captain telling me, still, the Titanic is not sinking, even though we’re up to our necks…

The game against the Eagles is gonna be a DOOZY!! Battle of the giants.
(we won a flag just a little over 3 years ago…)

Smashed. Again.
But this time against a nowhere team.
While a win here wouldn’t have said too much about what we’re capable of, it could have at least given us some hope.
Turns out we don’t even have that…
Might be time to make the ‘back to hell’ DVD because there are dark days ahead.
Are we still learning and loving? 🤔

Losing to a really, really ordinary team.
While a win here would not have said much about where we are or what we’re capable of, but geez it would have been at least something.
Pretty deflated.

Just now, praha said: This is actually heartbreaking. I used to get so mad watching this team during the Bailey, Neeld and Roos years. I've calmed down a lot. I am not even angry at this. Just heartbroken. This is the most boring, insipid football I have wayched in a while.
This is the best way to put it.
Exactly how I feel. Just really sad.

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.

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.

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.

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

PREGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
in Melbourne Demons
THIS 🤣
That constant 'drop A, B, C, D, E and F' and replace with G, H, I, J, K and L
...nek week, G to L are not great, because they are largely still developing/depth (true), so A to F return.
Not saying we shouldn't try guys out. When they're ready. But the constant clamouring for guys, many of whom are our stars who are actually performing (not at their best - along with pretty much everyone else right now) to be dropped is ridiculous. I read someone here dropping Maxxy? lol.
