Demon Disciple

Agree Saty. In terms of individual players' we have been poor apart from Salem in R1 and Clarry in R2, but collectively as a team we have been abysmal. Need total buy in from all 22 each and every week. The fact that it has not dawned on all players on our senior list highlights we still have a way to go, re: maturing.

Bulk roy. There ain't much fat on him at all, he's just way too bulky. Like a bodybuilder trying to run a marathon. Needs to lose muscle and increase his endurance.

We cracked 45,000 members during the week. What's the odds we don't surpass 47k?

Needs to drop 10.

Zeros for everybody.

Or someone with a bit of backbone. The entire organisation has been drinking their own bathwater.

Agree TRIGON, Taranto would be a great get.

I'd rather wait and bring him in when he is smashing the door down, full of confidence. A backline of May, Lever and Petty is so much more inspiring than with OMAC and Frost in there.

Umm, how about no.

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. I will wait to see if we walk it.

Very surprising. Either he is banging the door down (after only 15 days? unlikely), or he is doing the 1%'s and someone selected last week isn't. p.s - or of course injury.

Absolutely Bub. Jones didn't squib the contest. He just royally stuffed up what was practically un-stuff-upable.

Pathetic comment? Nothing pathetic about it. Jones has been an absolute standout as a player and captain of our club for a very long time, there's no doubting his sacrifice and resilience. But i did not comment on that did I. What's pathetic is his attempt to take the simplest of chest marks. Nathan would be the first to tell you that too. No opposition player anywhere near him, at a critical time of the match and that capitulation was the final nail in the coffin and stripped any momentum we may have had. Would we have been able to come back if he kicked the goal? Probably not, but by having that brain fade, it ensured that we wouldn't. You're way too defensive and close to the playing group to maintain an objective outlook Saty.

At least he seems to have learned how to hold on to a football. Progress.

Throw the sink at Buttifant. Simple.

Apart from the first 15 minutes, there was SFA to cheer about. I reckon most were gob-smacked with how unfit our entire team is. Then there’s the OMAC and Frost debacle, Viney and Gawn’s very poor form, followed by the worst dropped mark in AFL history. Any cheering last Saturday should’ve only been ironic. Seriously, what did we do for 6 months? Coaches and playing group must have listened to all the press and didn’t think training intensity to be that important? I hope Goody plucked his head out of the sand long enough to send an absolute rocket up the playing group. Whose fight, our fight? On Saturday’s performance it was like a toddler up against an MMA fighter. There bloody well better be a response from the playing group this Saturday night. Stick Petracca on Jenny Craig and a treadmill, feed the rest concrete so they can all harden the phark up

The sooner Petty is ready for AFL the better. His disposal and decision making already appear to be far superior to OMAC and Frost's. A back-line with May, Lever and Petty looks so much more appealing (purely for the fact that there is no OMAC or Frost in sight).

So was Dean Kent, imo. He'd have given more pace and pressure up forward yesterday

Sorry DS but whilst there were many who played poorly today, we are crying out for a small forward who can apply pressure when the ball hits the deck. This is the role Spargo is in the team to play, yet he continually refuses to do it. Tubby needs to get his ar$e into gear pretty quickly too, otherwise i'll be barking for him to be sent back to the magoos until he learns how to play his role. All the talent in the world..................not much point if you don't get it enough and then don't do enough with it when you do.

Pakenham, Cranbourne and Frankston trains were all not running today (at least from Caulfield into the City). The Bus replacement service was an absolute joke. Given it was an overall dismal day, you made the right choice not coming in MNIL.

Like the look of Butters. Small, nimble, physical, tough, chases, bobs up for a goal or 2.

Thought you were very rough on Wagner Praha. At least he chased aplied some pressure on the ball carrier in our front half. On today's performance i 'd drop Spargo way before i would Wagner.

Petracca - Bodybuilder running marathon

6 - Salem 5 - The bloke that managed to kick a goal at 1/4 time after the Haymes bucket spin. 4 - The enthusiasm shown by 4 blokes who came and supported us as a result of the welcome game. They had NFI, but i found their insights entertaining throughout the game. 3 - The weather, it was a bonza day. Got way too sunburnt, but a lovely day nonetheless. 2 - Deciding to walk half an hour to Chapel St/Alexandra Av instead of waiting at Richmond station with 500 other schmucks for the train replacement bus. That move outdid any of Goodwin's today. 1 - The coke i had at half time. It was very satisfying quenching my thirst. Went down beautifully P.S - Mods, i feel that i am truly worthy of receiving those 2 votes, as i am quite chuffed with how that one turned out. I would probably be still waiting in line

Sorry loges, but you're only starting to realise this? They are only made to look half decent by our midfield. When we fail there, like we did today, they are exposed big time. OMAC is a more uncoordinated version of Garland (which i previously thought impossible) Frost is simply a dumb footballer, with loads of athleticism that is let down by his mere stupidity. The frightening thing is, he doesn't play to his strengths but his weaknesses.
