Red But Mostly Blue

This is awesome. Getting beaten by the behemoths that were beaten by the eagles. Currently 16th! How have we regressed? This is not a fatigue thing. We’ve had plennnttty of rest. Poor skills, no vision. 3 goals in a half. Two bottom 8 teams going at it right now. Pathetic

This is so disappointing. We will get smoked by the cats and blues if we play anything like this. We’re battling against a very poor Richmond side. 🤮

Our foot skills have been ATROCIOUS

Let’s see him try that weak dog BS back in the slammer (if he goes, of course - presumption of innocence etc).

What was up with that mark at the end? Did I miss something? No shot on goal? I went to grab a drink and there’s Maxy being pushed by someone 4foot shorter than he js…

On the upside, love the support for Clarry after that thug hit by Marlon.

We are looking very ordinary against a very, very ordinary side.

Maxy has got to work on his passes by foot.

You can’t beat that quick first goal feeling 🔥

Another Josh Schache? NAHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Team pretty much as expected. Will be great to have Kozzie back. Hoping for a small (or big!) bag from him and some midfield minutes and manic forward pressure. Great to see Turner, think he’s the goods. We have a good record with backmen turned forwards. He’s got the skills, just needs some luck with injury! This is a great opportunity for him. Ah and Laurie. The ‘potential’. I know he’s highly regarded but I haven’t seen it at this level. I hope I’m wrong because we could use someone of his purported description. Looks like he’ll be playing midfield time, so no better opportunity than tomorrow, against a depleted tigers side to start showing what he’s capable of. Would love for him to convert potential into performance. We have a tough run after this game so I hope we really give it to the tigers and build some momentum and confidence after a really flat loss to the lions.

Sorry boys, not a performance to be proud of. Smashed everywhere. Score is flattering. Should have been 50pts. I had us at 3-3 at this point, so I’ll take 4-2. We need to rest up and regroup over the bye to make sure we treat this as the exception in our season.

Bang bang bang bang?

I have always loved May’s fingers

Wtf petty?

That’s one bang all that remains: bang bang bang bang bang bang + 1 point (or another bang I’m not picky)

Just 7 more in almost 9 minutes? bang bang bang bang bang bang bang + 1 point?

If you’re going to have just one disposal for the night, maybe make it a goal…

So they’ve been talking about being a team we can be proud of. So far, no. Not tonight. The last few weeks of wins don’t count. Today is a real contender who has had a few bad weeks. Grand finalists. Who nearly and maybe should have won. We need to strive for consistency. Having a dip every single week. We’ll lose some of course, but this is not acceptable for a team who wants to contend. The deficit is likely too much. So. Will they play like a team that will make us proud or continue to serve up this slop? We got smashed everywhere again. Even tackles. The lions were clearly hungry. Are we?

These holding the ball calls…

Think we might have been drinking some bath water this week. lazy, uninspired football. should have stayed in Adelaide

How have they walked that straight into their 50??? We are straight up hot garbage tonight

HOW THE HELL IS THAT HOLDING THE BALL!??????????????

Outmarked by Rayner? Poor

Ok glad I didn’t watch much of that qtr. It may be self-punishment but I’ll watch after half time to see if we’re actually going to do/change anything. Midfield need to pick up. Take marks. Run the lions ragged. Kick lots of goals
