GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
Umpiring has been terrible, but we haven't been great either. The crows have been a lot more direct with their F50 entries, and as usual we are just bombing it in. Mind you, this is against a team who is, as of right now, winless in 2020. I'm torn. I would have loved us to come out firing, and belt these guys, but that wouldn't mean anything, because it would prove us to be only able to win against the easybeats. But as it stands, we've been pretty bog ordinary tonight so far.

Hot garbage. Even if the boys were tired. And that's a big IF, because it's clear that the guys couldn't be arsed tonight, I just want to toy with the hypothetical. Why the dumb football? And the complete lack of heart? And the lack of any semblance of a gameplan? (does fatigue affect the coach?).

True, but even if they gave us the free, and we had the ball, what would we do with it? Probably plant it straight onto Westhoff's chest 30m out. Goal. Nah, not keen on that.

Haha remember a few years back when Port were a joke, the Lions were getting smashed, and the Saints were just plain bad? ...and we were on the up and up. Ah, memories.

Fraudulent is a good word for this. Our club. Our coach. Our supposed culture.

To hell and back.... to back to back seasons of HELL! To the Dees: I won't charge for giving you the title for next year's doco. This one's gratis

It's the connection! We've learned a little bit more about where we are as a footy club. We're not happy, we have to get better.

Hey guys, we might be bad now (like, really, really bad), but just you wait until we get our connection going! Then ooooh boy it's gonna be raining goals 24/7. ...

This. Is. Hot. Garbage.

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Brisbane
Ugh, we've had so many games stolen from us over the years, this would have been a nice steal for us. ... But instead, some fantastic work by Trac was wasted by garbage delivery from Hannan, and stupidity from Fritter - and unfortunately that's the sort of stuff that separates teams. In this case, funnily enough by less than a goal. Not a terrible game at all, but lacking overall execution and polish. Weid misses 3, Harley and Kozzie each with bad misses. Langdon should really get those. If even one of them converts, it's a different story, probably. Ah well, next time aye.

We're lucky to still be in this, I hope we make the most of that good luck in the second half! Our backline has been pretty great. But were smashed everywhere else, and the few times we got the ball, our i50 delivery not good, esp in that second quarter. Umpiring some of the worst I've seen.

POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn
Another 4 qtr game!? What's happened? It's almost like we've worked out that it's easier to play for the whole game! You almost don't need a gameplan haha (almost). Trac and Maxxy were magnificent. A+++ Jackson, awesome stuff - so much potential. The extra height around the ground is precious. Weid did exactly what we want from him. More, please! It's crazy how our forwards can kick goals when the ball is actually delivered to them!? Better, so much better. Always a heartwarming feeling to pump the Hawks. The lions will be a real test of where we're at. Would be great to continue this upward trend. Go Dees, finally something to be pleased with amidst all the other mess.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs Carlton
I got used to no footy during lockdown. I kind of missed it, but it wasn't like I was chomping at the bit to see us back because the game against the Eagles was a painful reminder that we learnt nothing in the off-season and Goody clearly doesn't know what he's doing. And here we are. Footy is back. My team just won and I'm sadder than I have been in the last 3 months because it's painfully obvious that we are a very, very average team. I guess what I'm saying is that during lockdown my team was terrible but at least I couldn't see them be terrible and I could pretend they aren't, or at least it didn't matter (i.e. there are bigger things than footy etc.) Sigh, tough times. I need a drink.

Jack Viney for Captain
Jack played much better without the weight of captaincy. It's a shame he wasn't joined by the rest of the team, as a whole.

I don't think 'crapola' is used enough. But I also think it probably only applies in very certain circumstances. But that was, in fact, crapola.

If not for Corona, we would be subjected to more of the same for the next 2+ months. It's definitely not a 'thank god for corona' situation, but geez it has pulled its weight in helping us to avoid certain embarrassment. Maybe by 31 May, provided everything is ok, we will be better? We'll be better, right?

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs West Coast
Self-loathing? ... Yeah, that's when you're in the last couple of days in the world as you know it, and still subject yourself to this torture. I deserve no better. I'm going to watch this until the end, and then count the sheets on my few remaining toilet rolls.

Guys, it's all about the forward connection!

He hasn't been himself for quite some time.

When we're all in lockdown/self-isolation, maybe Goody will run out of Mad About You reruns, and finally watch 'that' prelim, and maybe this game, too. For lolz, of course, because it's clear he doesn't know what to do about it.
