Certainly rates himself a bit.

Bit of a shame with Port but what can you do.

I can still feel the movement of the emery board.

I'm going to start screenshotting then at the quarter time breaks.

They may well be. Is it possible to get quarter by quarter team stat breakdowns? Never been able to find it anywhere.

Can't tell if this is a compliment or an insult but thanks either way!

I don't usually get too worried about crowd numbers either as long as they are generally ok but yesterday really disappointed me. Timeslots were regularly a gripe last year for some not attending but then we get presented with an old fashioned Saturday 2:10pm game and we bottled it. It was pretty embarrassing.

Great post Jaded. This is what makes the forum tick, you'd never see an "Is Kim Jong Un the right guy?" Thread in the North Korea forum and it would be boring.

Yep, I agree. We don't want the measured voices getting shouted down, I certainly don't despite venting my frustrations. Keep doing what you do Binman.

Never ever walk back after a mark with your back to goal, one of the biggest cardinal sins in football.

The main criticism on the boards seems to be about clearances and centre clearances. Looking at the stats though we've beaten Walyalup in contested ball 157 to 141 and pretty much matched them in clearances. Are we possibly looking at the wrong area as the issue right now? Was this game more about the lack of execution, cohesion and clean possession? Need Binman's take on this because I'm finding it very difficult to figure out.

Who's Sunscore? Did she work at the local IGA?

I agree we did get outnumbered at stoppage but looking at the stats we've beaten them in contested ball 157 to 141 and pretty much matched them in clearances. This is without our Mr contested possession Clarence of Oliver. Something is not adding up, either it's a massive credit to our midfield unit for achieving those numbers without Clarry or we are doing gumball all when we get possession and our execution is to blame. Or both (yeah actually both)

Where was the clapping or great ovation? Before the game? During? As he was walking off? I must have missed it. On that first possession on the Southern stand flank right in front of me I gave him a single 1-beat clap for his contribution to the premiership and that was it, after that he became a regular opposition player to me. Personally I thought I nailed the balance.

Yeah why did he do that?

Well I certainly want to hear the positive sides, It balances out the yin and yang. I just don't want to hear excuses and fluff. For example being the highest scoring side didn't count for much yesterday and it doesn't fill me with confidence the next time we face an organised team like Freo that is difficult to break down. We didn't put the goals on the board when it mattered, it is a problem and needs to be corrected. I don't then want to hear the excuse of Clarry missing, we matched them in clearances and beat them on inside 50s, we had enough ball to win this one and in saying that I will admit this is a good example of things not being as good or bad as they seem because a few better functioning things would have kicked the goals to win it. More than happy to hear the other side from people like yourself, just don't want to be ostracised for being passionate and disappointed.

That would be very, very displeasing.

Thanks buster, I'll make sure to watch Hitch-hikers guide and look out for the 'don't panic' signs.

Knowing our luck Matt Owies or Jesse Motlop will probably kick 3 each 😂

At least there isn't as much travel in the back end. That was a killer last year.

I'd like to know how many long bombs went to the goalsquare.

He really stepped up to the plate yesterday. Credit where it is due.

If anything could single handedly turn our season around and open a big carton of momentum all over the place, that would be it.

Yeah I think a Richmond win is gettable

No Clarry and 2 touches for Viney was game over as far as I was concerned. Their midfield was rinsing ours.
