Thank you Jordan for your hard work and impact at the club, you wore the red and blue proudly and with distinction.   

Rest Max if there is even the remotest chance his hammy is suspect. 

As for the rest I really don't care after last week.

When are the AFL going to tell us that gc are going to be given pp?

 

After they decide which PP they are giving to GWS who are clearly struggling at the moment. 

I have tried to be optimistic but tonight was the straw. The primary blame for tonight rests firmly with the coaches. No tall of any sort forward and we played ANB, JKH, Spargo,Stretch who are not up to it. Seriously at least Hunt has tried all year and has shown signs. Then we throw Frost forward as an admission of the spectacular selection failure. And what were our mids doing. Max got every tap and they were nowhere to be seen. Secondary is those picked played with no heart. No one will want to join this rabble. It breaks my heart.

it was an embarrassing performance. Just pathetic. 

Good Grief what a mess.

i certainly don't remember anyone urging any of our wantaway players when we were deplorable to 'stick fat with the dees'

In my opinion an example of the dreadful double standard of the AFL. They talk down long established clubs that are struggling whilst propping up the clubs they "need" to succeed. GWS (like the Gold Coast) have no natural fan base and are struggling in the West here. The average home crowd is reported as 12000 per match and has been declining in the last two years despite the wealth of talent that has gifted to them. 

Well what a pack of miserable old sods you are, we get a 129 cms of fresh snow and all I hear is complaints. There is no pleasing some dees supporters.

(Omac was alright today and looked like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.)

Didn’t Oscar play his school footy as a forward? Why not throw him down there and May back if he’s back in. May as well coz his confidence is shot as a defender at the moment. 

Goody said in his presser that he’s throwing some players around to see what flexibility they may have to offer. 

Suggested this last week. Take the weight off his shoulders and let him run free for a change, absolutely nothing to lose. 

Clearly something is amiss with Brayshaw. On Saturday night I was able to go down to the rooms after the match, as they came down the race to the rooms Goody had his arm around Brayshaw who looked distressed.   Mind you they all looked pretty close to distressed and I was left in no doubt as a group they are hurting. I actually found the looks on their faces pretty confronting. 

Pre game McDonald spoke at the club function and said that all the players know its hard for the supporters to turn up but it means a lot to the playing group that supporters turn up. Goody also turned up briefly and said the players remain united.

If we could delist Omac right now I would, needs to be put in the bin forever. Both Wagners are dead weight and not showing anything. ANB is just not up to standard, not sure what he even offers bar being 1 of 22 players required to fill a team. Not sure why we are persisting with Tim Smith. He’s 28, injury prone and very hit and miss.

As far as ins are concerned, May, Hore and Melksham need to be brought back if fit. I’d be willing to give JKH and Preuss one more go after decent vfl numbers. Weideman needs another go in the 2s after his calf and concussion otherwise I’d play him over Smith. If not JKH then Dunkley up forward.

Out: Omac, J Wagner, C Wagner, ANB, Tim Smith

In: May, Melksham, Hore, Preuss, JKH

Weideman out for the season. Our problem is we have no fit forwards thats why we persist with Smith.  We dont present any forward threat so teams can (and have) exploited that.  Why not see if Omac is able to take a mark forward, he was hopeless last week but why not try that, seriously what do we have to lose? Its not like the other options are irresistible. 

Sadly my brother have President's club passes this week and I agreed to go a long time ago. So I have to fly down for this one. A very expensive night of punishment coming up, all i hope is the President is actually there so I can share a few thoughts.

This thread is a lot longer than I expected. 

What I despise about this is the sense of entitlement GCS and GWS have when it comes to money, picks and a premiership. They both have been gifted more than enough access to picks and salary cap relief. GWS has managed that process a lot better than GCS. 

OMac for Tmac: (can someone insert the popcorn emoji here).

OMac suffering a drop in form and confidence, we are yet to see his best which will be in the red and blue.

I am no medico but how does Hibbo return so soon? I wouldn't be able to heal a collarbone in less than a year.

I saw this yesterday on Brad’s Instagram and have found myself thinking about it multiple times over the past 24 hours. What an absolute tragedy, been recently married myself I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose your wife let alone the mother of your children on top of that. 

Really puts life into perspective, a bad day at work, stuck in traffic, the small minute things that we get caught up on in our day to day lives really mean nothing. Let alone a lot of us getting caught up on the current state of our football side, it’s sad it takes tragedies like this to realise what is really important in life.

I am sure the club will get around Brad & his family and provide the support needed 

First condolences to Brad, his boys and the families, so sad to have your wife and mother to pass so young. 

Well said JV7.

In any normal round having 3 or 4 of your starting 22 hurts any team. We have 11 out and clearly others who didn't get the required pre-season. TMc looks injured ( to my completely non medical eye) and something is amiss with Brayshaw. We are currently a scratch team the match committee can't do much than work out who is fit enough to get on the park.

Pre match texted a mate to say we had a Casey team playing. Lucifer nailed it we dont have AFL Standard players to put on the park. 11 of our starting 22 injured. You see it every year that a team with that level of injuries is not competitive.
