The Roo was definitely not having a "better" night.. He was far from alone. He's being shouldered with a role he's not yet equipped to do. Don't castagate him.... redirect your scorn to the Brains(?) Trust. He was very unlucky in some respects. He was caught out retaliating. Oh what a naughty boy eh.. Sticking up for himself.. Hed been subjected to ragging all night...and you're making judgements on what the TV so handily showed you. Dont get sucked in PF. These are the very games good AFL careers are forged....at the fire. Magoos is just magoos. The heat isnt the same. Id be asking ...whats the club going to do to fix the situation... to build a better fwd structure....indeed we'll start with 'having one' Sure...he's no messiah. Were far too SOFT as a club.. Need to grow some. Maybe the President could be useful forca change and ask of the AFL ...please explain, what's going on ?.. exactly as the real power clubs would. Dont lob the problems ar JVRs feet.. it's not his fault.

And thats why we needto push back and call them out. The AFL ...honestly what a bunch of ( insert fav derogatory) They're there to oversee the running of the comp....not the ruining. They are actually the tail.. Certainly the [censored]-end. Time to wag them.

This isnt about "a player" anymore. This is about pushing back. Collingwood wouldn't stand fot it... and i begrudgingly admire them gor not taking [censored] from fools . Nor should we. Christian is an egomaniac.

Appeal

Those that suggest we didnt go toooooo bad .....after all it was only 4 points , think about the real reason we were within a kick. Port couldn't buy a goal early on. Had they...well... it's a different conversation for some.

And we can humiliate the [censored] again and again.

Is as though Rozee had no duty of care ( to himself ) let alone Hunter.

There were quite a few throw ins, esp the latter half of the final quarter that can only be described as 'odd' in terms of the way they were "MANAGED" .. ODD 😉

Food for thought going foward... into Winter, arguably poorer weather. We are very over rated I'm affraid. If the ball is slippery or its just raining our game goes to water. Some very dumb ideas about how you play wet weather footy. Not going too far playing rubbish like that. Port supposedly undermanned...totally outplayed us.

There was a lot we were doing last night that was diabolically wrong and a lot they were doing that was right. Logic almost demands to minimise both. Leaving Butters off the leash was dumb to the nth. Not sure our BRAND is De Rigueur

Lost by a country mile.... scoreboard flattered us.

You wonder sometimes if the whole thing hasnt gone stale. What worked once has been eclipsed. I'd like to know howca team with a list the envy of many a footy dept can turn up and turn it up so woefully. Last night was only maginally removed from embarrassing.

Oh ...btw.... can someone check on Tommy... after having his head all but ripped off with 5 to go. I concede you cant always say if butmaybe etc, but if there was ever a sliding doors moment it was that. A free TO MacDonald...likely a different outcome.

And there in a nutshell is imo the essential core of our problems. Zak Butters ...Man of the Match. V Our Brains trust ....saw what he was doing , and still allowed him to continue. Take a bow Coaching.

We were comprehensively beaten by a better set of heads.. those in Ports Box and those wearing their jumper. Our lot left all their brains behind in Melb. Were back to going out in straight sets again at this rate. Maybe we should concentrate on playing footy.

Yeah... but lets put the maggots on the spot ;)

Often suggested; if nothing good to say ...say nothing nothing !!

Dumb and dumber outdo the dumbest.

Sad to say but Max needs some mongrel. Gets pushed aside by much smaller blokes. Give up the darts mate...youd be even fitter. Love ya mate Love the club more. Leaders don't get pushed around....just sayin'.... and needs to be said. Now get out there and play footy properly Dees... this is [censored]

Exactly... so Salem is the BEST option ?? If so... we're in deep doo doo

Or not..you know jack

Are we match fit... well.... at that point in time youve done pres season... practice games and preseason games... So.... whats Chistian done lately ?? It's not a trick question...take your time by all means. By comparison.... it's impossible for Salem.to be...match-fit... for youve had to have played some recently. 😉

Yeah......nahhhhh

Was hoping he was picked... dang

Has to go from 0 to 100 in a handful of minutes. You cross that line you're at 100%.. If not ...don't I rate Salem... not this selection. More so as.... why ?... hes not the only choice.
