Red But Mostly Blue

One good player. Against a whole team. Oof.

Classic Dees And that’s one of the things right there. The difference between our best and worst is too far. Probably the most jarring in the league. And the fact that it happens so often, and sometimes in the same game is disheartening. One of the reasons we can’t get big crowds to games. We are not a trustworthy team. You just don’t know who you’re going to see if you head to a game, and that’s inexcusable.

Far out. We are the most learned team in the comp

Numb. Also, please for anyone has has stronger resolve than me, and watched the presser, please tell me goody did mot say learnings!?

Greatest ever 3Q comeback, and it was the saints!! They’re not even a good team! HOW IS ANY OF THIS DEFENSIBLE?? AT WHAT POINT DID WE JUST SAY STUFF IT LET’S FLOOD THE BACK HALF OF THE GROUND AND BORE THEM TO DEATH?? We deserve a proper explanation for that. Not just learnings. Because this is about as low as it gets.

Oof. Sorry mate

Servers are as cooked as this team and its spirit. RIP.

lol Kalani is 100% picking the SUNS Why tf would he come to this!!!??????

I choose to believe that was a professional tank, because the alternative would be that we are the softest, unfittest bunch of pea hearts of all time.

lol just as I said!!!!! 🤣🤣 Hahahahahahaha this team, seriously We’re just as good:bad as the saints!!! LOL

Professional tanking,,, ? (I hope, kind of)

I know losing to this mob sounds bad but I reckon drawing with them would be worse

Ok I’ll bite Professional tank?

This is beyond farcical and highly improbable. IF true - and I highly doubt it - it shows how desperate we are. Fitness and motivation (not $$$) will be key factors here, and I'm sorry, but I already have my doubts about both of those with some of the current playing list, who have been unable to run out/maintain pressure or consistency in games (potentially due to one or both of those factors). For completeness, this is not a dig at their efforts as such, I never pot the boys for effort. If they are unfit, or misaligned with motivation, for whatever reason, that will impact games. We don't need another player who will potentially, and very likely, tick both those boxes. Another too-risky-to-be-worth-it move. Please keep looking. As with my comments on the trade targets thread, the reality is, obviously, we are not a destination club. We are a club probably coming off the back of 14th, then likely bottom 4. We need some big moves (trading out some, I am sure), and then need to sell the vision to potentials that next year will be one of success, not a continued downward slide. Sort of where I am sitting with Dogga if that's even remotely true. The Dockers look like they may (haha who knows though) be on the up, why move for bottom 4? The only sell is he would be here for top dog role, and success. Anyway, I digreess. No, thank you.

Nooooo, young man, don't read these posts!! WAIT If you're reading this Luker, disregard the ones who do/may pot you from the comfort of their couch/keyboard (both). If you get a game, it is because you have earnt an opportunity to get some game time and find your feet. There are ZERO expectations from the good many of us who know this will take TIME. You look like you are developing nicely, especially considering your unfortunate setback. Good health to you, and looking forward to seeing you out there soon enough when the time is right.

Please, no more. Sad way to celebrate Claz Poor skills, shoddy umpiring and yet another loss to those grubs. Thank the footy gods for Kozzie

Missed holding the ball, and now it’s gone back for a holding to Curnow? Of course.

You know, we’d be a lot better if our skills were a lot better. And intensity, and consistency etc.

Jeffo’s mum here?? You know who you are Come and collect your boy, please.

Really not interested in giving Curnow a bag tonight. Let’s sort that out. On a positive note, the melkman has made an early delivery. Let there be Melk

my man

I should have put some $ on that. It’s one of our specialties.

Alright boys, reminder that the game has started.

I don’t know much but I know we owe the blues a good rough up and rousing win. It won’t make up for a finals loss, that we should have won a million times over, but it is something to hold onto. Oh and Claz has been immense for our club and will go down as one of our greatest of all time with hopefully at least 5 more years of bang bang bang bang. Let’s do it for Claz ❤️

Don't believe this, and objectively does not make sense. We have struggled to kick goals this year, so we're happy to move on the most established goalkicker in our forward line, for a complete unknown, or better yet, nothing? Sure, this has not been his best year, but I could say that about almost everyone on the list. Shall we move them on, too? He's been asked to play different roles and I haven't really agreed with some of them because he will never be the mongrel tackle machine that some of you want him to be. He's a high footy IQ (usually) deadeye who knows where to run to - problem is not many in the team know where to kick it to - because we insist on bombing i50. No wonder his goal output is down!!! Fix our delivery for guys like Fritter, and he will score more. Promise. Double promise. He's a Dees legend and an absolute gun. Some have short memories, and are happy to lay blame at the easiest target - the guy who kicks goals, neglecting all the work that has to go into the moments before the goals happen. Frittata - stay, please. We have much work to do, and I can't see it being done without someone who knows how to kick goals.
