Red But Mostly Blue

I agree, one bad game, especially at the start of the season should not induce panic. I’m just disappointed that we had a golden opportunity with most of our squad in to deliver some payback to the very team who booted us from the finals. I was expecting fire in the belly and making them accountable, but we just looked sloppy and disorganised with little leadership other than maybe Lever. We’ve now given those guys 2 wins. Sydney is going to be an even tougher prospect. Will we bring that fire in the belly, irrespective of what the news is with Max? (Because one guy no matter how important does not and should not make or break the team)?? I hope so otherwise Sydney are going to pants us, again. I’m hopeful though, we certainly have the talent to match them even without Max, and Kozzie. Would be good to get May back though if fit. And hopefully Petty is ok.

I hope the flattering score line does not detract from the thorough review we need to carry out. Too sloppy, lacking intensity and creativity. Just really poor. Next week is a really tough assignment, I hope we bring the character we should have shown after HT. We’re a better side than the lions and we got done. The Swans are a better unit. We will need to lift big time.

If vineys handball landed that would have been VERY interesting

TWO MORE BANGS

3 more, big time can do that’s just 3 bangs

6 to go, plenty of time

And then the dees kicked 7 straight and won the game…

Just remembered we have the swans next week, essentially being a reverse of our finals games last year. And we again have that fear as to which demons team will turn up next week, and injuries 😔

It is over there!!

Maxy moving around on is comforting

Ah well guess we’ll have to replay this game another day when we’re not so bad.

Fancy giving that doofus Daniher 4 goals

100% but I’m a sucker for redemption haha. Even though my head says it’s just not possible, it’s so hard to turn around putrid for 3 quarters. It’s possible though, gotta hold some hope, it’s a strange game and we are capable. I’m deluded, I know lol

Are we at least going to make this an honourable loss. Big difference between drawing this to a couple of goals and a 10 goal loss. Might be a good start winning some clearances.

I can hear the xxxx being cracked open. Shame, we were in this. If Trac picked that ball up we might have been away for a chance to return to 20. Instead we’re 38 down.

Did Trac butter the hands before tonight? Seems to be handling a completely different ball

Nice Nibbler

Ugh Zorko of all people.

And that’s just what [cameron] can do?? What is that exactly? Stand in a place and stick his foot out for an arsey goal? Sure, OK.

Max alone is not this team. We have the depth and the talent to take care of these guys. They can’t play much better and we can only improve. It’s easy to feel dejected about our captain but seriously the test of character right now would be to win it FOR HIM. We can do this. Will we?? I think we will. But we have to come out breathing fire.

We CAN win this. We have played like trash and are still within 20, and even won that quarter. If we come out with the right mentality, firing and give these bogans NOTHING.

Needed that. One more? To put it within 3 after HT. We’ve been playing like trash but the good thing about that is that it can only get better. It has to.

We are not just Max Gawn. This is inexcusable. A poor showing from a team full of guns, supposedly pushing for a premiership.

Getting slaughtered

I know it’s early days but they have us completely covered at the moment. Our goals have come from silly turnovers, they have looked much more dangerous going forward. Hope we sort it out soon. Maxy off doesn’t help.
