P-man

Doesn’t really change my point.

Betting advertising is certainly overdone, but let’s not use that to shield Stephenson from what was an act of unbelievable stupidity.

And therefore, the amount of faith placed in him was/is an issue. One season was not a sufficient sample size to be placing all our eggs in the T Mac basket. We did not replace Hogan (along with the multitude of other failings) and we have suffered as a result.

This is great and all, but I was amazed at Lewis revealing some coaches were not in the positions for which they were originally appointed and it was decided out of the mid season review that it wasn't working. My reading of that is we decided to allocate people to positions for which they weren't best suited, and then were surprised when it didn't produce optimum results. On the surface this looks like little more than rectifying sheer incompetence. The season is shot to bits so it's all a bit too little too late, but it's good to have Rawlings back among the seniors coaching fold. Lewis could not speak highly enough of him on 360.

How on earth do the bookies have us as favourites? Bizarre.

Just give us the spoon. We deserve it.

lol Quite the season we are having.

Been thinking the same. MIA for a while it seems.

He looks aimless when he’s leaping at the football. And by leaping I mean jumping a few inches off the ground. It’s like he sticks his arms in the air as a token gesture. There was a perfect example in the last quarter when the ball just smacked him in the face. He doesn’t even look remotely like taking a mark. I can only hope Goodwin is backing him in when cornered at the presser. Surely on form his spot in the side is being seriously considered. He himself would be extremely frustrated at how he’s playing which can’t be doing his confidence much good. It’s an accumulative effect. He should be either rested for the remainder of the year to get himself right, or if he’s fit, a spell in the twos. This can’t go on for the rest of the year.

Gawn. It seems a fairly obvious choice.

Enough with T Mac. Enough.

It should be noted he does it when we’re winning as well. We have to be up by about ten goals for him to remain quiet. So he’s very rarely quiet.

Our forwards are absolute puss.

Ranting peanuts will have their view. There's zero question about the net benefit he has provided to the club. A mixed bag yes but a valuable pick up. Would be nice to see him make it to 50 games for the club.

Well said, LG.

It would. But when you kick 1.8 in the last quarter (still can’t believe that as I’m typing it), you deserve everything that comes your way.

Have to wonder at what point we conclude this isn’t just about “form” with T Mac. He’s now attracting the opposition’s best defender and on what we’ve seen this season, he’s well below the standard required for a main target. He’s approaching 27 now. This is as good as it’s gonna get. And we can all see the flaws in his game. I feel like we need to look elsewhere. Without too much delay. Place a Josh Kennedy or Jeremy Cameron into that side last night and it would’ve been iced well before the final siren. I’d love him to prove me wrong but my faith in T Mac is fading fast.

You know it’s a bad loss when you have people on Facebook saying they are finished with the club. They’re all back the following week of course, but it’s still a sign it was a bad loss.

Heartbreaker. Season done.

For arguably the first time this season bar the odd five minute patch.

To be fair Fritta has been good since giving away that goal.

Sloane out of the game is huge. No Sloane or M Crouch.

Midfield guns are lifting.

That particular Oliver kick did not [censored] me off.

Jeffy ?
