I was desperately trying to find a singing fat lady since around bye time.

Many ways are learned through many years. Call it experience.

Saw our game in Perth in round 9. We put in a good show for over half the game but as you say when WC went up a gear it was all just too hard for us. We more already less gave up the season then and there, That game summed up our whole shocker of a season.

Pickett coming to a club that plays with no purpose would not have helped him.

Richmond had a slow start to season like us. Pumped by GWS in round 3 and many injuries. They didn’t throw the towel in early.

GC first. Melbourne second. Consolation prize for cellar dwellers.

Well there is always hope, fa Frankly I give more credence to what Mick Malthouse has to say about us.

He was a better captain than Jones. Unselfish player cruelled by bad luck.

Good I hope it’s true.

There is also Chrysamthemum tea which is a close relative of Chamomile and same taste but can be much stronger depending on quality. I know first hand. Several years ago in China I drank some at a tea house and it made me feel like Hercules and all the stresses of the big bad ugly city wafted by like walking through a garden of roses.

Chamomile tea has no caffeine. Players should get on to it before it gets banned. No need for the weed extract and associated complications. Reducing menstrual pain. ... Treating diabetes and lowering blood sugar. ... Slowing or preventing osteoporosis. ... Reducing inflammation. ... Cancer treatment and prevention. ... Helping with sleep and relaxation. ... Treating cold symptoms.

2018, the year of the dead cat bounce.

Sounds like the same effect of camomile tea. Is that banned also?

Would have ended up like Jordan Gysberts.

Something like this

Not sure how good a leader he is. Freo are only moderately less dysfunctional than us. They don’t appear a very very switched on club.

Typical Jones signature play. Hanging out 20 metres from the forward contest waiting for the ball to come out for him to score a cheapie. Relies on others to apply the forward pressure. If the ball turns over it’s swept away to the other end with Jones casually jogging behind. Been happening every game this season. Commentators do what commentators do.

Well you quoted this. “He could be arguably one of the most successful captains in the history of football”

He could claim he ate a contaminated chocolate brownie at the Bada Bing Cafe in Perth. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-19/marijuana-brownie-accused-perth-bada-bing-cafe-owner-in-court/11320960

Amateurs versus incompetents.

Viney has upside but not as a leader. Jones needs to retire pronto.

Goodwin just basically played Jones anywhere where he could hide him for the majority of the season. He was a liability at both ends and in the middle. His season was sub VFL standard throughout. The only positives were some cheap goals he got on the end of a few times.

Only Heppel and Selwood out of that bunch would be considered playing as potential true vote attracting mid fielders. The others are key forwards and defenders who never traditionally do well in Brownlows. Witts could have gotten more but he plays for the Suns. Still Heppel and Selwood have more votes each than both our two so called leaders combined. I believe the metric is valid. Viney and Jones are complete non entities and irrelevant in the umpires eyes.

Amazing despite our mediocrity and lack of recognised leadership that posters here still defend completely dud captains.
