WAKE IP YOU DIP****S

Would love to see Vandenburg really hurt someone. Don’t care if he gets suspended, just ruin bury someone. Bonus points if it’s one of the umpires or brain dead husks in the crowd!

[censored] I hate Nichols and [censored] I hate WA. Bunch of cocaine riddled miner plebs. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nichols is hopeless. How does he still hold employment?

Nichols nooooo! From memory he’s not great for us… He’s the one who had the Hawks themed Twitter account that got found out right?

Great results for us this round. Let’s beat the Eagles and take our rightful place in top spot.

Keep pushing hard Giants. Top two could still be on the cards if they can pull off this upset!

Versatile and good by foot. Just what we need. Take him late if he’s available still.

It was a sickening hit. Sounded awful when that boot hit and I just remembered gasping and hoping Jeff was ok. I’ll always hate Bomber Thompson for joking about it in his press conference after the match. Something along the lines of head shouldn’t have been there, he head butted Kings foot etc. [censored] waste of skin that bloke. He’s probably face down in a ditch now after his ice addiction.

Out: Viney (susp) In: Jordon

BOOOOOOO

Rumor Salem didn’t travel with the team and has been playing with a sore groin for a while. Explains his big drop in form since missing. Hopefully he gets a rest and can recover his brilliant pre-bye form.

Will get 1-2 weeks. Stupid thing to do from Jack. Completely avoidable and unnecessary. We were belting them in a nothing match, no need to put pressure on someone’s throat and trash talk him. Take a few weeks off and try to get your old self back Jack.

He’s had a good year, especially for his age, but he won’t be All Australian. Cameron, Papley, Tippa, Bruest have all kicked off goals as small forwards. He’s an All Australian of the future though if he continues this rate of development!

Absolutely destroyed an absent opposition today. Goal kicking accuracy still an issue though. We won’t get 38 shots at goal again. Need to convert our shots more.

What a difference kicking straight for goal makes!

Not against him leaving if we get decent compensation. It would hurt our list age profile though, as all our key forwards are 28 or older (bar Jackson, who I consider a ruck not a forward). We would need to replace him with another young key forward IMO.

Not sure, but I know the club told him at the end of preseason that he’d be considered for the mid year draft. Obviously we took others mid year instead. Fallout may have occurred as a result of that? Speculation though. Would be sad for the Farmer family to have fallen out with the club.

We need to find form quickly. We’ve only won 4 of our last 9 matches, and only won 2 of our last 5. We’re a completely different team to that one that was 9-0. The midfield needs a reset. As good as they are, Trac and Clarry can’t do it all themselves every week. Gawns impact on games has been reduced recently, with less marking around the ground and less clean taps leading to clearances. Langdons form has dropped right off. JJs form has dropped right off. Brayshaws form has dropped off. Harmes has been poor all year with the exception of one March where he did a good tagging job. Viney has disrupted the balance in there since returning. We need to get the midfield firing again or we’ll miss top four and be out in straight sets. Fixing the midfield will mostly fix the forward line issues we’re experiencing. A few more set [censored] nailed and forward line is fine.

Unless we find form quickly, we’ll likely finish fifth and play elimination final against Essendon or Richmond. Essendon would roll us on current form. Tigers without Dusty would be an easier match up. This feels like 2004 all over again. Going well and top of the ladder, then fall in a heap at the end, finish fifth and go out in straight sets to the eighth placed team.

When we play them in finals, let’s beat them at their own game and try throwing instead of hand balling!

Fair few plodders out there for us tonight. Brayshaw, Salem, Harmes, Hibberd, Langdon all poor. That’s one win in the last month. Coaching staff needs to reset this group. Season is teetering on the edge now.

CMON BOYS LETS BEAT THESE UMPIRES

We’ve played like [censored] and yet if it wasn’t for incorrect umpiring decisions we’d somehow be winning. Infuriating!

Free kicks 18-5 now. This is getting beyond ridiculous.
