Red But Mostly Blue

Does anyone else kind of get the feeling the universe is working against us right now? 2 posters and a score review we would never get in our favour. We haven’t disgraced ourselves but a few costly mistakes and misses mean we’re chasing.

Let’s bring fire 🔥

Good teams can suffer bad losses.not sure how to place it in our trajectory. Where we are. Respect. Etc. confused. Love this club but a little heartbroken today.

How is this team losing a game of footy by 82 points? At 3Q?? Gotta be honest I turned off a long time ago because I choose life, but checking in here and there and this is beyond woeful. Nightmare stuff.

Didn’t we have a 51 point comeback with Austin back in the day haha, we’re gonna need exactly that to win and restrict them the nil. Go dees! Gotta laugh because I feel like crying. This isn’t system adjustment stuff, this is just sad.

V, V, V poor. We’re going to need to sharpen up pretty quickly but I’m not seeing how. Everyone looks so sloppy and sluggish across the board. Pretty disheartening.

Is our ball covered in soap? Woeful skills so far. And I see Michael Walters has gone the shush. Really wanna bury these guys.

Haha I gotta say I ain’t mad about it. i have stuff happening in my life, promise, but this does give me some joy lol

Haha I think we broke the Cats 😈🤣

Regardless ok the outcome, Darcy BOG 😏

I am not sure why some are expecting guys to be fully synched with the team/rhythm of AFL footy by week 2 - but it's unrealistic. I think, anyway. It's a new team for Shane, a different strategy, he's been injured. It'll take time for everything to lock. He will. And it'll be awesome.

Haha thanks WCW. Nah still on the light side and it seems to have been rewarded by the universe, just bumped into Maxy at a cafe. Geez I’m short. He was kind enough to say hi and not mention the height.

Haha thanks WCW. Sorry, was having a very mini, somewhat out of character and unnecessary moment of nitpickery before. I’m pretty positive, and tend to have a sense of humour about it all because at the end of the day it’s just a game, and to follow this club you have to have a sense of humour haha. But yeah, just a moment of expectations exceeding the moment. We got the win today and that’s all that matters. Plus we won well, and as I said, they looked happy and that tells me the other things will continue to fall into place as the year progresses.

Haha yeah the bombers have done well with their fixture. But have the suns, blues, cats, pies and us waiting out of the next six games. They may be the real deal, who knows. I don’t think so. But we’ll find out soon as they have 7 wins from bottom 8 teams so far., then a win against GWS and the Pies draw. Anyway yeah our fixture has been wayyy harder. Earnt our 4th place. Won’t lie, wish we claimed the Eagles but that’s in the past now and I’ve added it to my therapy haha

I always appreciate your positivity after games. While I didn’t love everything about today, the things were mostly those of somebody who has gotten used to following a great team for the last few years haha, like junk time goals and some sloppy skills here and there. There was a time we would have given almost anything for wins, and certainly the saints had a weird hoodoo over us (they weren’t alone, of course). But you’re right though the ladder tells the story. We’re in good position after a tough first half or so, with excellent % and can launch from here. The boys were happy and really supportive of one another which was something that struck me. Anyway, thanks for the positivity 😊

For those laying into McAdam, it’s a bit rough. 2nd game. It’ll take time to find his feet and rhythm at this level, in a new team. I thought he got into some good spots. He’ll be fine. Got to give these guys some time! Even if it was smart strategy to drop guys after 2 rounds, we don’t have the depth for that!

Anyway, my earlier reservations aside, I want to note that we came to win, and that is what we did. That’s important. My positives are that we looked happy out there, as if last week was an aberration. We had moments of brilliance and I hope the boys carry that forward as I still think our best can beat anyone. Go Dees ❤️💙

A win is great, and I don’t want to be that guy but we will need to be a lot better against the Dockers and the Pies. Good in patches, but sloppy in others. Having said that, Maxy, a million points for his performance. TMac and Tommo good, May good late. Good to see Roo get a few on the board. Kozzie was dangerous and very good in the middle. Bank the win, but gotta sharpen up from here.

Such a poor end to the game.

Don’t snooze, boys!! It’s not over!!!! You can put your feet up in 3 minutes.

Let’s not give them any more junk time goals. Percentage is important.

Love those goals ❤️

Much better. If we can keep that quality up throughout the game (not intensity as it’s not sustainable), we would be right every week. Here’s the test: Let’s bring this home. Percentage looks like it will be really important this year, so big wins when we can get them are crucial.

How good is Kozzie?! Also, it’s strange seeing those world-beating giants the Eagles 46-2 down right now…

I know he didn’t miss by much but spaz should be kicking those. Wasted that incredible work by bowza, and they got one back on rebound.
